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.

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.
