He wants all sinners to turn to Him for salvation!  2024-02-2326 minNo Other FoundationNo Other FoundationGod is Our Redeemer Part 3 It can appear, upon first glance, that God’s heart and eternal plan are only for His people Israel. Yet, Jesus’ death upon the cross and the salvation of souls is for all who’d believe. Pastor Phil explains today that the salvation Jesus accomplished is too beautiful, too big of a thing to limit it. It’s for ALL people who believe.    2024-02-1626 minNo Other FoundationNo Other FoundationGod is Our Redeemer Part 2 When evil seems to be winning, and God’s children seem to be falling away, it can feel a little scary. You may think that God is losing ground and your hope begins to fade. Well, today, Pastor Phil will explain that God is forever and solidly in control.  Nothing will ever thwart His plan and purpose for salvation.   2024-02-0926 minNo Other FoundationNo Other FoundationGod is Our Redeemer Part 1 Many people, sadly, go around professing belief in the Lord, yet, live lives that lack true faith, true sincerity, and deep trust in God. And as Pastor Phil teaches today, God does not want this type of “Christianity”. He called His people Israel out for doing this, and He’ll call it out in your life too. He desires a relationship with you and your deep faith in Him.   2024-02-0226 minNo Other FoundationNo Other FoundationThe Sovereignty of God Part 2 All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God!

One of these is mercy. As Pastor Phil just explained, to be merciful to others is to show them the same grace that God has shown you. How do you fare when the time comes to show mercy?
