Our message today comes from Acts 15.22-29, the text that includes the letter from the Jerusalem Council to the church in Antioch. In this letter, the Council expressed its hearty support of Paul and Barnabas as well as its repudiation of those who taught a faith+works message of salvation.
Proposition: The repudiation of Judaizing firmly supports the doctrine of salvation by faith alone.
The doctrine of salvation by faith alone is orthodox Christianity. Acts 15 affirms and documents the doctrine as the true gospel.

Wednesday message from 1 John
April 15, 2020 message, Love One Another: God is Love
John exhorts us to love one another, based on the nature of our great God.
Hello Pastor Johnson, Bill and i enjoyed the message this morning( taped on Friday) . When you said at the end of your message that we could have coffee via skype, Bill asked if the coffee would be on you. Ha ha. Back to the message: I thought of how much flak I take because I will not do yoga because it is in fact, hindu worship. The message is very helpful as we try to be ‘in the world, but not of it’. Thank you for continuing to preach the Word without compromise. God bless you.
Hi Jayne
Well, I guess we could say I will give a rain check for a real coffee after any virtual coffee is consumed!
Thanks for writing!
Pastor Don
