Lincoln Berean Church — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 23:20:14 +0000

11/20/2011 | 1 John 4:1-6 | There are certain foundational, fundamental beliefs that must be in place for a church to be a Christian church and there is no doctrine more fundamental than the doctrine on the person and work of Christ. The Bible teaches that Jesus is fully God, and at a point in time became a man, born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, and ultimately was nailed to a cross for the sins of the world, rose from the dead, ascended to the Father and is coming again, and that those who believe by faith receive God's gift of salvation by grace through faith alone.

1 John 2:12-17 | Bryan Clark | 10/09/2011 | It's the intent of the performance based value system to destroy you, and unless you change systems, it is going to destroy you. While you are thinking low thoughts of yourself, God is on the other end of the scale, celebrating the wonder of you as He has made you.
