Gospel of Grace Fellowship
This story is again about the gospel going to an unexpected person. An angel directs Philip to go to a remote location. We see that in Luke/Acts angels are associated with the coming of Messianic salvation. In that day, Ethiopia was considered to be “the end of the earth.” This shows that Acts 1:8 is […]
In this message from Romans 5:20-21 we examine how God used the Law as a detour sign that was designed to point all people to the main road of salvation through faith in Christ. In this message we also examine the continuing relevance of the Law and wrestle with how it relates to the believer […]
This sermon is a Biblical exposition of the doctrine of Christ. We cover many scriptures about the important truths about the person and work of Christ. He is the Creator, the Son of God, the son of David, the son of man, the Messiah, and also prophet, priest and king. This is just a partial […]
Introduction to Genesis and the Torah: The Life and Offices of God’s Servant Moses (Part 11) (Num 12:1–16; 15:35–41) We resume our introduction to Genesis and the Torah by providing a brief review and general overview of Moses’ life and offices. We conclude after making a few more comments about Miriam and Aaron’s rebellion against […]
Eric Douma continues teaching from the book of Revelation in an interactive Sunday School class. Slides | Handouts
John identifies the liar is the one who denies Christ. We emphasize how critically important confession of Christ is. We cannot refuse to confess Christ and claim to have a right relationship with God. False religions always have a false Christ. Many people have no interest in learning Christian doctrine because they deem it impractical. […]
In Romans 5:15-19 we learn that all of humanity has either Adam or Jesus Christ as their representative. Adam brought sin and death to all people, but we learn that through faith in Jesus Christ people can have forgiveness of sins and eternal life. In this message we examine the various views as to how […]
Simon the sorcerer desired to buy the authority to impart the Holy Spirit to people. Peter sharply rebuked him, telling him that he and his money could go to perdition. When we are truly converted, we leave behind pagan ideas and trust Christ alone who has set us free. Simon is declared to have no […]
In this topical sermon we explore Paul’s warnings about how the Corinthian congregation was abusing the Lord’s Supper. We learn that the “examine yourself” passage in 1 Corinthians 11:28 has nothing to do with self-introspection in which a Christian determines if they are good enough for the communion table. The warning is instead about how […]
We discuss the response of the Samaritans to Christ in light of the narrative unity of Luke/Acts. In Luke 9 James and John wanted to call down fire to destroy the obstinate Samaritans. But in Acts 8, Samaritans come to Christ through Philip’s preaching. In God’s providence, John was one of the apostles who came […]
All true Christians are anointed by Christ with the Holy Spirit. False teachers claim a special anointing that gives them insights that ordinary Christians lack. We know the truth and do not need the knowledge that false teachers offer. All who have believed the gospel of Christ do know the truth. Correcting lies is necessary […]
Antichrists left the apostolic church associated with the apostle John. They rejected the true doctrine of Christ. By leaving they showed they were not true Christians. Preaching Christ will purify the church and expose those who are not truly converted. In this same epistle John tells us to test the spirits which implies the doctrines […]
Peter tells us that he is thankful for the promise of salvation that God has given us in 1 Peter 1 3 – 5. It is because of that promise that even though we go through trials and tribulations, we still have joy! It’s the kind of joy that’s deep down and “inexpressible.” So, just […]
Dr. James White, Director of Alpha and Omega Ministires (aomin.org) and elder at Reformed Baptist Church led our Sunday School via technology from Arizona. Dr White taught on the importance of church history in apologetics. Note: There were no slides or handouts for this class.
In Romans 5:12-21 Paul begins to address how the two impediments to our glorification, sin and death, are going to be conquered. Paul will explain that sin and death are conquered by the new Adam – Jesus Christ. Our focus in this message (Romans 5:12-14) is on how every single person born into this world […]
The wording of the text here hints at the idea that Simon viewed Philip as someone he could purchase magic arts from. It says that Simon was “devoted” to Philip. We will soon see that Simon was not right with God. Simon’s signs glorified himself while Philip’s exalted Christ. We discuss the fact that Simon […]
Paul argues in Romans 5:9-11 that believers in Jesus Christ can be absolutely certain of the future glory that awaits them because of Christ’s life. In this message we examine how Christ is assuredly going to spare His flock from the coming wrath, and why it is so significant that Christ lives to intercede for […]
Philip and Simon both have signs. But Philip’s are attached to the gospel. Simon practiced magic arts. True miracles are not an art form to be learned but acts of God. There were unique miracles done by Christ and His apostles that established their teachings as God’s word. But God still works sovereignly as He […]
