The greatest contribution of this movement was that God’s people returned to God’s Word and therefore the gospel. In this sermon from Ephesians 2:1-10, we focus on the material issue of the Reformation: how a person becomes right with God. We are reminded that we are saved by God’s grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone.

Unfortunately, many people believe we have to ignore rationality and logic in order to have faith. But God has given us a mind and we are supposed to use it as we love God with our mind. We look at the call to right thinking, the importance of right thinking, and practical steps we can take to develop a Christian mind.
- Oct 15, 2017SufferingOct 15, 2017SufferingBy: Dr. Chris MooreSeries: 2017PerspectiveOne of the major themes of this letter is suffering. We are exposed to many unhealthy perspectives of suffering. Some say suffering is just an illusion. Some say if we are righteous and faithful then God won’t allow us to suffer. Some say God can’t be good since there is so much suffering. Some try to ignore suffering by self-medicating. We discover from God’s Word how we should think about suffering and why our present suffering shouldn’t drive us to despair.

He uses the image of a soldier, athlete, and farmer to help illustrate what faithful ministry involves. We learn that commitment is difficult, necessary, and rewarding. Following Jesus often involves traveling a difficult road, but the road is worth it because it leads to life.
- Sep 24, 2017GospelSep 24, 2017GospelBy: Dr. Chris MooreSeries: 2017PerspectiveIn this sermon we learn there is both an offensive and defensive aspect to the gospel and to gospel ministry. We are called to advance the gospel using the pattern of sound words we have been given. We are also called to defend the gospel, which means being willing to state explicitly what the gospel is and what the gospel is not. We discover that advancing and defending the gospel begins in our own hearts and homes before we can faithfully do this work in our community and world.
