How Faith Saves
This sermon uses an Old Testament cure for snake-bite to explain how faith in Christ saves from death and hell.
Outline
Faith Acts: Noah, Baptism, and Faith.
Faith doesn’t just sit around. It doesn’t just carry God around in its head with it. Faith is active.
Waiting for Christ’s Return
Being ready for Christ’s return isn’t a matter of knowing when it will occur, it is rather a question of being faithful to the tasks we have been given. You don’t need chats and diagrams to understand what Jesus said in Mark 13, just simple faith in your savior.
Dying and Rising with Christ
In this sermon on Mark 9:38-50, Pastor Hinkle provides an overview of the lesson, but focuses on the most difficult part where Jesus says it would be better to cut off our hands and feet than to continue in sin and better to have a millstone fastened around our neck and be cast into the sea than to lead a child into sin. Pastor Hinkle explains that we need to take sin very seriously and avoid it, but that it is God who does the surgery when he buries us with Christ and raises us to new life through baptism.
The Wisdom of Service
