Sermon Recap: “The Kingdom of Christ” (Luke 1:26–33)

This morning we explored what the Bible says about the Kingdom of Christ—a kingdom foretold in prophecy, fulfilled in Jesus, and available to us today. We were reminded that Christ’s kingdom is not of this world, but it is real, spiritual, superior, and eternal.

Key points included:
• Jesus announced the kingdom was near.
• He preached the good news of the kingdom.
• He identified the church as His kingdom.
• His kingdom is not material, but spiritual and everlasting.
• It was established on Pentecost and is here now—not something to wait for.
• We are called to seek it first and make it our life’s priority.

Let us answer God’s call to His kingdom today—believe, repent, confess, and be baptized into the body of Christ.

Sunday’s Sermon Recap: “Christians and Religious Tolerance” (1 Timothy 1:18-20)

Today, we explored the topic of religious tolerance and what the Bible teaches about standing firm in truth. We discussed how tolerance, as the world defines it, often includes acceptance and endorsement of sin, but Christ did not tolerate sin—He openly challenged it (John 2:13-17, Matthew 15:7-14).

We examined how Christians must not compromise with error, as false teachings have misled many throughout history (Galatians 1:6-12, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10). Instead, we are called to let our light shine, speak the truth in love, and engage in honorable Bible study and discussion (Matthew 5:14-16, Ephesians 4:15).

The message concluded with a reminder to be patient and remain faithful, as victory is assured for those who endure in Christ (Revelation 2:10). Let’s continue to stand firm in faith and share the gospel boldly!

Do Not Imitate Evil (3 John 9-12)
A sermon by Walt Davis

God created the world as “very good” (Genesis 1:31), yet mankind often chooses to imitate evil, as seen from Noah’s time (Genesis 6:1-7) to today. Why? Satan tempts us with sinful desires (1 Peter 2:11-12), corrupt behaviors like lasciviousness and false worship (Ephesians 4:29; 2 Peter 2:1-3), and the belief that “everyone’s doing it” (Romans 12:2).

But God gives us a choice. He longs for everyone to repent (2 Peter 3:9) and promises eternal life to those who obey Him (John 8:51). Choose to do good, for “he who does good is of God” (3 John 11).

Are you ready for judgment day? Turn to God today, stay faithful, and receive your crown!

Through perseverance, humility, and service, we are called to leave a legacy that points others to Christ.

The sermon concluded with a heartfelt call to reflect on Titus 2:11-14, reminding us that God's grace teaches us to live righteously as we await Christ's return. Are you walking in the pathway of duty? Will your life testify to your faith in Jesus?
