In this episode, David Wollen looks at the necessity of the new birth and what the Great Awakening can teach us about proclaiming the gospel while pursuing unity in Christ.
Today's Promise: 1 Corinthians 15:22 Because of Adam, sin and death entered the world. But because of Jesus, we have something far greater: life. In this episode, we look at the powerful promise of how we are made alive in Christ. Death is something none of us can avoid. We can eat right, exercise, and take care of our bodies, but eventually, we will all face death. Yet for the believer, death is not the end. It is temporary. Because Jesus conquered the grave, those who belong to Him have the hope of resurrection. The Bible describes believers who have died as being "asleep in Christ." One day, Jesus will awaken them to eternal life in His presence. But here's the good news: you don't have to wait until heaven to experience this life. The life of Christ is already in you. You are alive in Christ. And because He lives, you will live also.
Jesus makes the invisible God visible. He ranks above all creation, and no one is like Him. All things have been created through Christ and for Christ. He sustains us and holds it all together. He has you in His hands.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Romans 5:1 – The Promise of Real Peace. Romans 10:17 – Faith Comes from God's Word. Isaiah 62:5 – You are God's Delight. Ephesians 2:4-5 – Made Alive with Christ. Psalm 119:14 – The Joy of Obeying God.
Today's Promise: Ephesians 2:4-5 Before you knew Christ, you were spiritually dead, separated from God and powerless to save yourself. But everything changed because of God's amazing mercy. In this episode, we explore the incredible promise that God, who is rich in mercy, made you alive together with Christ. Discover what it means to experience new life today, not just the promise of heaven someday. You'll learn how Jesus broke the power of sin, filled you with His Spirit, and gave you a living hope that reaches beyond the grave. Because you are alive in Christ, you can walk each day with confidence, purpose, and joy, knowing your future is secure in Him. Join me as we celebrate the transforming power of God's grace and declare the life-changing promises that belong to every believer in Jesus Christ.
One mistake can become more than a moment—it can start explaining who we are, what we're capable of, and why trying again may not be worth it. How do we face what is broken without letting failure tell the whole story?
Pastor Michelle Ellinwood continues the summer sermon series, "Flourish". Scriptire references: Eph 1:15-23, Eph 2:1-10
Many of us know we're saved by grace, but we still live as though we have to earn God's love. In this message from Ephesians 2, we're reminded that Jesus didn't rescue us because we were worthy. Jesus came to save us because of His mercy and grace for us. If you've been carrying the weight of performance, this message is a reminder that your identity is found in Christ, not your accomplishments.

The gospel is never more beautiful than when we understand what God rescued us from. In Ephesians 2:1–10, Paul takes us from the depths of our spiritual condition to the heights of God's amazing grace. We were not merely struggling—we were spiritually dead, separated from God, unable to save ourselves. But then come two of the most hope-filled words in all of Scripture: "But God." In this message, we'll explore the four movements of the gospel: Sin's work against us, God's work for us, God's work in us, and God's work through us. Discover why salvation is entirely by grace, how Christ brings the spiritually dead to life, and how every believer is God's masterpiece, created for a life of purpose and good works.

Before we celebrate baptism, we need to understand what it represents. In Ephesians 2, we see the reality of our condition apart from God—dead in sin and unable to save ourselves. But because of His great love, God makes us alive through the grace of Jesus. This message reminds us that salvation is not something we achieve, but something we receive, and that through Christ we are given new life, new identity, and new purpose.

April 5, 2026Jesus Christ is risen! He, who was perfect and righteous, gave up his life for us, who are unrighteous before God in our sin. But because He conquered sin and death, we have a living hope that is ours through our faith in His Name. And now, He will preach through us to proclaim His salvation to those who remain dead in sin that they might be made alive. May God find us faithful!1 Peter 3:18-22

Romans 5:12 — In the previous sermon, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones addressed that all humanity sinned when Adam sinned. But how is it that all sin in Adam? In this sermon on Romans 5:12 titled “Made Alive in Christ,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones dives into this topic by looking into several different views. The first view is the realistic view, which states that the whole of humanity resided in Adam. Because of this, when Adam sinned, all humanity sinned. Second is the representation view. This view states that Adam's sin was passed to all because God had appointed him as the representative for all humanity. Dr. Lloyd-Jones states that his view of Scripture shows a mixture of these two views. He looks at the parallel between Adam and Christ. He shows how both Adam and Christ were appointed by God and represented all humanity. Adam represented all in his sin and Jesus represented all in His obedience. Dr. Lloyd-Jones ends his sermon by pointing out the important truth that Jesus is the last Adam. There will be no one to come after Him who will again represent all of humanity. Christians can rejoice in that fact, knowing that they can forever rest in the work of Jesus Christ.
