Preacher: Gary Hunt | Series: Ephesians, Faith
Paul says we are saved by grace through faith and not of our own works. How do grace, faith and works relate to one another? If we believe we must do something to be saved, are we contradicting faith and trying to be saved by our own works? Does faith contradict grace? Must faith work to be a saving faith? Is baptism a work of faith or a work of human merit? Confusion on these things has caused much error to be taught and followed about salvation.

Preacher: Gary Hunt | Series: Ephesians
Ephesus was the chief city in the province of Asia, what we call turkey today. It was the center of idol worship for the whole region with a spectacular temple to the goddess Artemus. And, it was the city where Paul preached the gospel for several years establishing a local church and enduring many trials and persecutions.
Preacher: Gary Hunt | Series: Searching For The Sinner's Prayer
As we look for the sinner’s prayer that leads one to become a Christian in the New Testament, we do not see anything resembling this most popular but evidently false teaching of today. Could it be that so many who think they have become Christians by the Sinner’s prayer have been sadly misled and are not Christians at all?

Preacher: Gary Hunt | Series: Searching For The Sinner's Prayer
In the book of Acts, we have a divine history of the initial spread of the gospel and forming of the early church. We have several examples of those who became Christians through believing in Jesus to the point of repenting of their sins, confessing Jesus as the Son of God and being baptized for forgiveness of their sins. Upon their baptism the Lord added them to His one church, His body of the saved. Contrary to popular teaching today, no one in the book of Acts became a Christian by the Sinner’s prayer. Is this teaching just something man has produced of his own wisdom?

Preacher: Gary Hunt | Series: Cases of Conversion
Cornelius was serving God in some ways better than the Jews of his time but he was still not forgiven of his sins, not a Christian. But, he eagerly wanted to know the gospel and when he heard it, he obeyed it. We can be good in some ways too and still be lost because we have not obeyed the gospel in the way the scriptures reveal.

How we hear God’s word is determined by our attitudes we hold in our hearts. If we are humble and honest, we will listen and obey His will.
