Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday morning’s sermon, “God’s Bail-Out Plan” based on Acts 4:8-12:
The economy is in crisis. We got that way by the irresponsible actions of many.
The government has tried/is trying multiple “bailout plans” to rescue the economy.
Two of the bailout plans seem to have failed. The third may not do much either.
Our spiritual condition is in crisis. We got that we because we sin.
We have tried multiple ways to get ourselves out of this mess, but nothing seems to work.
God decided that HE would take charge of the situation and bail us out.
God became Flesh and dwelt among us as Jesus Christ.
Jesus died for us on the cross, taking our punishment upon Him.
If we accept His act on our behalf, we are “bailed out” of our sin debt.
If we do not accept Jesus’ act on the cross, we must face the full wrath of God.

Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday morning’s sermon, “Jesus: the One and Only” based on John 14:1-7.
Jesus said He was THE way, THE truth, and THE life.
If you want to get to God, you have to go through Jesus.
True Christianity is not a religion; it is a relationship.
The difference between Christianity and other religions is that God reached down to have mercy on mankind. Other religions teach you have to work your way to God or win His merit.
People think that different religions are just different paths up the same mountain with God as their goal. There is only one road that leads to God: Jesus.
Some people think that good intentions will get you to Heaven. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Some people believe that Jesus simply opened the gates of Heaven giving us the opportunity to earn our way in. God’s word says that salvation is a “gift of God” and not as a result of anything you do, so that you can’t brag about it.

Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday morning’s sermon, “Sin? What Sin?” based on Romans 6:1-14:
We don’t like to talk about sin because it makes us “feel bad”.
Sin IS bad and we SHOULD feel bad about the sin we do.
The unrighteous person looks around and says, “I am a good person; I’ve never killed anyone”
God says “for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God”.
The penitent (or broken hearted) person says, “My sin is ever before me”.
God says “if you confess your sins, God is faithful and just to forgive your sins.”
The Forgiver of sins (God) says, “Come now, let us reason together. Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool.”
God is in the “forgiveness business”.
