The Churches' First Crisis Part 2b
March 17, 2020
Since the very beginning of the church there have been those that wrongly assume that we can somehow work our way to heaven. They suggest it’s by knocking on so many doors, getting baptized or circumcised. As we open Acts chapter five on Sound Doctrine, we discover there really is only one way, and it’s a relationship with God through His Son.

Pastor Jeff will be in Acts fourteen on this Friday. I’m sure you’ve seen it… a great evangelistic crusade comes to town, and hundreds come forward. But nobody follows up with them.
