Jesus tells us that no one…no one…knows the time of his second coming and the end of human history as we know it.

What Is the Church? Part Three
Audio file:Minutes:24Dr. Wilder preaches on the first chapter of Paul’s letter to the churches in Galatia in which we learn that Christians are set free by the pure Gospel to live as the family of God. This spiritual family extends far beyond the bonds of our families of origin. No matter how far from God a person may have wandered, the Lord’s grace is more than sufficient in freeing us from the sins or shame of the past! Paul knew this from firsthand experience and describes his life before…and after…Christ in these verses.

In this 12th chapter, Paul reminds us our unity in Christ is Spirit-given and never manmade. Each person who says with faith and trust that “Jesus is Lord” is Spirit filled. The Spirit of God who brings us to such faith in Jesus then equips each believer according to God’s plan and purpose.

What Is the Church
Audio file:Minutes:21In his first of four messages, Dr. Wilder begins this month long focus on the Church. The introduction to Paul's letter to the Christians in Ephesus tells us a great deal about the true nature of the Church. The Church is not a building or a human institution. The Church is the Body of Christ consisting of God's adopted sons and daughters. These children of the heavenly Father are saints in the eyes of God, not because of human achievment, but as a result of God's love and grace.

Who Is Jesus? Part Three
Audio file:Minutes:19Dr. Wilder concludes his Advent sermons on the true identity of Jesus with this third message. In Luke’s Gospel, we learn that the suffering experienced by Jesus on the cross did not happen by accident. This was God’s plan of salvation for us all along. As the crucified and risen Savior, Jesus wants to know what we believe about him on a personal basis. He asked this of the disciples and the same is true for each of us!
Luke 9:18-27
