Selling Jesus Part 2: Why Witnessing Isn't a Sales Pitch with Dr. R. Scott Clark

Rev. Chris Gordon and Dr. R. Scott Clark explain why Christian witness is not a sales pitch: believers pray for opportunities, speak honestly about Christ, and trust the Holy Spirit to work through the preached gospel.

Jesus Is the Rock

Moses was barred from the Promised Land not simply for striking the rock, but for meeting Israel's complaining with anger instead of holding out God's appointed remedy. The sermon shows that the answer to grumbling hearts is not law and wrath but Christ, the Rock who was struck for us.

Selling Jesus: Why Witnessing Isn't a Sales Pitch | Dr. R. Scott Clark

Dr. R. Scott Clark joins Rev. Chris Gordon to explain the difference between evangelism and witness, and why every Christian, not just pastors, can faithfully tell others the truth about Jesus.

Nothing But the Truth - 1 Kings 22

Today's sermon presses a single question: do we want what God has actually said, or what we think God should say?

Do vs. Done: The Law/Gospel Distinction with Dr. R. Scott Clark - Part 2

Rev. Chris Gordon and Dr. R. Scott Clark continue their conversation on the distinction between law and gospel, arguing that the issue is not only doctrine but tone. Preach the law in full force, they say, and then send burdened sinners to Christ without conditions.

Partakers of Grace - Phil 1

Paul's affection for the church at Philippi confronts the modern habit of treating the church as a product to consume. The believer's bond to a local congregation rests not on personal preference but on the shared grace of the gospel and the God who finishes what he begins.

Forgiven by the Judge by our Father: Understanding Two Kinds of Divine Forgiveness

If Christ has secured the forgiveness of all our sins, why do we still pray daily for forgiveness?

How to Speak Comfort to a Suffering Friend

How can you be wise and helpful when a loved one is facing adversity? The Bible offers practical instruction.

A Must for a Faithful Pastor

Not only should a faithful pastor expose false teachers, he must. The Bible requires it.
