This week, we dive into the pivotal moment of humanity’s fall in Genesis 3, where deception and disobedience fracture the harmony of creation. We examine how sin distorts our relationship with God, each other, and the world—introducing shame, suffering, and separation. Yet even in judgment, we see the glimmers of redemption as God offers the first …

Av Cascade Church Portland

Paedobaptism is contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Paedobaptism is contrary to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. Paedobaptism is not in the Bible. Paedobaptism is either dangerous error or damning heresy (depending on the individual) and needs to be exposed as such for love of Christ, His Church, and a multitude of perishing paedobaptists …

In this sermon, we examine our deep need for genuine connection in a world filled with digital distractions—a need that God recognized long before modern technology. Drawing from Genesis 2, we unpack God’s timeless blueprint for relationships and, specifically, for marriage. The message is organized into four themes: The Problem, The Provider, The …

In this sermon, Andrey Gorban explores humanity’s deep longing for Eden, reflected in our love for nature. Genesis 2 shifts from the broad view of creation to God’s personal work—forming Adam, placing him in a garden of beauty and abundance, and giving him the tasks of working and keeping it. However, Adam is given a command: do not eat from the tr…

An encouraging word on Christian belief, life, and death.Av Chuck O'Neal

Our battle cry isn't, "Go to church!" Our battle cry is, "Go therefore!" Learning from elderly 85 year old Caleb how to "Go Therefore!" in the service of King Jesus to advance the Kingdom of God courageously!Av Chuck O'Neal

Biblical encouragement for Christ's soldiers and Biblical rebuke for those who are running from the battle. Vital Great Commission lessons from the boy named David and his epic battle with Goliath. Much of the Church is cowering before the giants of our day just as Israel's army cowered before Goliath. Who will stand up with the faith of the shephe…

God's men will always fight the good fight! Cowards will always oppose them! Praise be to God, there's hope for cowards, for God can and will make men and warriors out of cowards! There's a war on! Satan's armies march to war every day. Satan's armies take souls and cities every day. Satan's armies fight to win. Christ's Church is to march to war e…

The Lord Jesus knew "the best defense is a good offense" long before men discovered it on the battlefield or sports field. That's why He commanded us to "Go therefore and make disciples of every nation!" Christ's Church is to be perpetually on the offense! We don't need another conference on Cessationism. We need men full of the Holy Spirit's power…

Hey pastors and churches...there's a war on! Satan and his anti-Christ Globalist Marxist, BLM, ANTIFA, LGBT, Muslim armies are at war against God, His Word, His Gospel, His Church, and Western civilization too. They're fighting to win every day everywhere all over the earth. They're marching to war to take individual souls, families, cities, and en…

Our neighbors and nations are perishing! What's the answer to the post-Christian Western World's anti-God, anti-Christianity, anti-Bible, anti-Law, anti-Gospel, anti-Truth cultural revolution? What are pastors, churches, and individual Christians supposed to do to stop the rampant rise of evil and decline of Christianity in the West? Are we suppose…

Kurt Kroon shares about Paul, Colossians 2 and how Christ moves us to end gatekeeping.Av Cascade Church Portland

WHAT IS GOING ON?! The double-mindedness and hypocrisy in the #ShepCon2024 Truth Triumphs Conference is staggering. John Piper has been pulpit sharing and conference slumming with a who's who of sketchy, female, cursing, pervert, heretic preachers for years. He NEVER should have been invited to speak at the Shepherds' Conference and he should be im…

While I encourage you to listen to the entire sermon to get the full meaning and context of 1 Peter 4:1-6, I will tell you that I speak illustratively and directly to the situation with Alistair Begg beginning at the 45 minute mark.If you fight a good fight in every area except where Satan's battle against God and the souls of men is raging the hot…

Christ suffered for sinners once! He paid our sin debt in full! It is finished! Salvation is through faith in Christ and His finished work alone! There is no condemnation for sin left for believers. Purgatory doesn't exist, is a blasphemy of Christ's finished work on the cross, and 1 Peter 3:19 doesn't support it. There is no second chance for salv…

Behold your King and bow before Him!Av Chuck O'Neal

How heretical is Catholicism? How far from the true Jesus and His true Gospel is it? Catholicism can't even get John 3:18 right!"He who believes in Him (Jesus) is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only."Av Chuck O'Neal

Christ alone saves sinners...with no co-mediatrix in Mary, no antichrist pope, no antichrist priest, no antichrist sacrament, no antichrist wafer, no antichrist baby sprinkling, and no antichrist purgatory! Until our Catholic friends repent of their faith and trust in Catholicism's many antichrist substitutes to the one true Christ and His finished…

The Catholic Church is perhaps best, most Biblically, and most succinctly described as "doctrines of demons." The unholy mass constitutes the heart of Catholicism and thus the heart of its doctrine of demons. May God be pleased to give us Gospel clarity and the loving conviction to proclaim it to our perishing Catholic neighbors...and may this very…

In this Semper Reformanda message, Eric Holmberg's tragic apostasy to Catholicism's soul damning heresies is addressed; Holmberg's apt use of Doug Wilson (a perverted and Romish wolf in sheep's clothing) to defend his apostasy is addressed; and Voddie Baucham, Josh Buice, Jeff Durbin, Phil Johnson, and James White's ongoing wolf (Doug Wilson) petti…

Choosing between the Roman Catholic Church and its sacraments or Christ's true Church and true Gospel isn't a choice between a chocolate frosted donut or a maple frosted donut on Sunday morning. It's a choice between a flaming pile of poisonous poo from Hell or the soul saving Manna of Heaven! Most professing Christians (Reformed and otherwise) fee…
