Sermons on Confessing Jesus
Responding Rightly to Jesus the Lord (Acts 2:36-40)
Peter urged the men of Israel who participated in the crucifixion of Jesus to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus. Responding rightly to Jesus as Lord and Christ means repenting and being baptized in his name for the forgiveness of sins, effectively orienting one’s life to God through…
Attracted to Sin (Genesis 19:23-38)
If we need to come to God for his righteous in order to escape judgment, then we ought to be wary of the hurdles that might seek to trip us up and prevent us from coming to God for salvation.

This covenant of forgiven sins is unbreakable as it has been sealed and ratified by…
