This sermon examines Genesis 1:26–27 to show that human beings are uniquely created in the image of God through a deliberate and intimate act of creation. Unlike the rest of creation, God personally formed man to represent Him, giving human life profound dignity and value. Because the image of God in humanity, though marred by sin, remains intact, sin—especially violence against others—is an offense God takes personally. The sermon concludes by pointing to humanity’s inability to save itself and to the hope of the gospel: salvation accomplished by Jesus Christ, the perfect image of God, and received by grace alone through faith alone.

Read MoreUnfortunately, there are no simple, clear-cut verses in the Bible to which we can turn that will spoon-feed us the answer—there is no “Romans 10:9, 10 for babies.” But that’s not to say that Scripture is completely silent on the matter—the Bible touches on the subject in seven different ways.
Read MoreIf you’re asking this question, you don’t understand the real issue.
Read More“The answer is simple,” you might say. “Between John 3:16, Acts 16:31, and Romans 10:9, 10, the answer is a resounding ‘No’.” But is that what God’s Word says?
Read MoreContrary to what many think, “the gospel” is not John 3:16.
