What Is the Gospel Message? | NOW (Part 5)
In his sermon, Pastor Chad Glover uses the Gospel Bridge to answer the question, “What is the gospel message?” He shares how to receive the gift of salvation and know that you are in a right relationship with God. Salvation is a free gift from God. Because God’s standard is perfection, no one is good enough to get to Him on their own. But Jesus suffered and died and rose again so that you could have eternal life! That’s good news. Two equations in the message of the gospel:Jesus’ Death + Jesus’ Resurrection = The GospelBelief + Confession = SalvationJoin Pastor Chad as he shares what the gospel message is, and make the decision to place your faith in Jesus today! Key Scripture: Romans 6:23

What Is Jesus Looking for in You? | Bearing Fruit That Lasts – Steve Kern
What is Jesus looking for when He examines your life? In Mark 11:11-26, we see Jesus confront a fig tree that had leaves but no fruit, a powerful illustration of how God views our spiritual fruitfulness. Just like physical fruit satisfies and nourishes people, spiritual fruit glorifies and satisfies God (John 15:8).In this sermon, “What Is Jesus Looking for in You?” missionary Steve Kern explores what the Bible says about bearing spiritual fruit. Using the parable of the fig tree, he challenges us to live a life of genuine faith, bearing lasting spiritual fruit that glorifies God.
