They That Were Born Of God

John chapter 1 contains a statement many believers use to teach a concept known as “decisional regeneration.” Specifically, the phrase that those who received Jesus as the Messiah were given power to become the sons of God. However, in the sentence following this statement, John insists that those who received Him did so because they were born, not of blood, their will, or any other human’s will, but of God. How do we reconcile these two statement? Does the reception of Christ cause the new birth, Or rather, does the new birth enable the reception of Christ? Join us for this message in our series on Sovereign Grace statements from John’s gospel for the answer to this question.

Passing from Death unto Life

Continuing our series on Sovereign Grace Statements from the Gospel of John, pastor Winslett considers a most interesting statement by our Lord Jesus in John chapter 5, about the ability to believe being the result of passing from death in sin to life in Christ. Simply put, the new birth is a spiritual resurrection which causes us to know God, sparking faith within.

Born from Above

One of the most clear and instructive passages concerning the new birth is found in a conversation between the Lord Jesus Christ and a man named Nicodemus in John chapter 3. In this teaching of Christ, we learn that without the new birth, also called quickening or regeneration, a person is unable to see the Kingdom of God. Also, it is revealed and that God is sovereign in this vital phase of salvation. Join us for this study in our continuing series on Sovereign Grace statements from John’s gospel.

The Fear of God

Fearing God is a concept spanning the entirety of scripture. In both the Old and New Testaments, those who know God are “God fearing” people, whereas there is “no fear of God” before the eyes of the unregenerate. Moreover, this reverence of God is the basis for all we believe and do in our personal lives. Join Ben Winslett for this study of a most elementary but needful subject.

The Biblical Significance of Unleavened Bread

In both the Old Testament and New Testament, unleavened bread has a special, biblical significance. Initially, it was to be used in the Feast of Unleavened Bread that accompanied Passover. But in the New Testament, it was repurposed as an item to be used in The Lord’s Supper, as Christ our Passover was slain for us. Join us for this interesting study of Unleavened Bread from both the Old and New Testaments.

A Thief in the Night

The second coming of Christ is a well prophesied event in scripture and is literally the hope of God’s people around the world. Jesus’ return is certain, but two words also describe it: unexpected and sudden. That is, to God’s enemies, the return of Christ is going to be as a thief in the night.
