Sermon by Pastor Bill Connell

Welcome Visitors!
What is a Bible church? If is a group of people who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as our only salvation from sin, and who join for Bible study, for worship, for prayer, for service, and for fellowship. We focus on doing what the Bible tells us to do, because it is infallible and inerrant.
If you are looking for a new church home, where the people are not only moral, but kind and interested in others; where the Bible is deeply appreciated for who it helps us to become; where we attempt to honor Jesus Christ, our Savior, as Lord; and where you would be welcomed, please give us consideration.
We are pleased you are here today, and pray God's best for you. Please let us know your questions.

Much has been written over the past few years about the New Age movement and the threat it poses to historic Christianity ... Yet the extent of the controversy is not merely an honest doctrinal difference among orthodox believers; it rather entails a confrontation between the gospel preached by the Lord Jesus Christ and another gospel...
Jesus said, "In this world you will have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). In sharp contrast, the word-faith teachers promise unlimited health and wealth to believers who can conjure up their brand of faith.
Jesus exhorted His followers not to "labor for that which perishes" but to "labor for that which is eternal" (John 6:27). The prosperity gospel, by contrast, encourages Christians to focus on what they can receive from Christ in the here and now...
Christ has become merely a means to an end, and believers are induced through slick Madison Avenue manipulation to come to the Master's table, not to experience fellowship and intimacy with the Master, but to enjoy what is on the Master's table. In sharp distinction to this message, the Jesus of the Scriptures is not a means to an end, He is the end. (e.g. Phil. 3:7-8)
