What it Takes to Be God’s Priest, Part 1 | Exodus 29:1-14

Stephen Angliss | In order to be a priest, or a representative of God to the world, there is a long list of qualifications that only God can put on your life. Find out what those are and what it means to be God’s priest today by joining us in Exodus 29:1-14.

The Lie of Eastern Orthodoxy, Part 5 | Concerning Baptism

Stephen Angliss | What enters one into a relationship with God? The Eastern Orthodox tradition holds that baptism brings someone into fellowship with God. The Bible says only faith can do that. Join us as we study Scripture to examine how one becomes a Christian and the proper role of Baptism in a believer’s life.

The Lie of Eastern Orthodoxy, Part 4 | Against Salvation by Faith Alone

Stephen Angliss | The Bible teaches that a Christian is only saved by grace through faith, not through their works, but only through God’s gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. All false religions, particularly Eastern Orthodoxy, deny this Gospel, which is why it’s crucial to look always to Scripture to understand how one can be made right with God. Join us as we continue to expose the lies of Eastern Orthodoxy with Scripture alone. 

The Lie of Eastern Orthodoxy, Part 3 | Concerning Icons

Stephen Angliss | Paul describes Christ as the “icon” of the invisible God. Because of this, stemming back to the giving of the Ten Commandments, God has always forbidden people from worshipping through any physical images other than the ones He provides and prescribes. Join us in God’s Word to discover why only Christ is worthy of worship and why worshipping God in any created thing is idolatry.   

The Lie of Eastern Orthodoxy, Part 2 | Against the Intercession of Christ

Stephen Angliss | Part 2 of this three-part series examining the lies of Eastern Orthodoxy against Scripture focuses on the supremacy and centrality of Christ. There is no other mediator, intercessor, savior, or icon of worship other than Christ alone. Join us as we study God’s Word and what it says about the importance of Christ.  

The Lie of Eastern Orthodoxy, Part 1 | The Authority of Scripture

Stephen Angliss | Christ warned that in the last days many with itching ears would wander off into myths and accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions (2 Tim. 4:3-4). Perhaps no myth exemplifies this more in our current age than Eastern Orthodoxy. 
What should be made of Eastern Orthodoxy? Is it the true Church? Simply another form of Christianity? Or something else entirely? Join us Sunday at 9am & 10:30am for a message examining the falsehoods of Eastern Orthodoxy and discovering in Scripture how authentic, sincere, and intentional devotion to Christ can only be done according to His Word alone.

The Priestly Garments, Part 2 | Exodus 28:13-43

Stephen Angliss | In God’s Instructions on the garments of the priests, He provides details that illustrate the kind of High Priest God is for His people, and also the kind of priests Christians should be as they represent Christ.  

The Priestly Garments, Part 1 | Exodus 28:1-12

As God nears the end of His instructions on the Tabernacle, He instructs Moses on who should be selected as priests, what they should wear, and what they should do. Because Jesus is now the Great High Priest, and because Christ has called His followers to be a kingdom of priests, what God says about the priests in Exodus illustrates what Christ has done for His people and what His people should do for Him.

The Courtyard | Exodus 27:9-19

Surrounding the Tent of Meeting, in which was found the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy of Holies, was a linen fence forming an outer courtyard around the tent. This outer part of the Tabernacle was where God’s people gathered to worship Him. Join us in God’s Word to discover how the courtyard of the Tabernacle provides a blueprint for what God expects of His people.

The Bronze Altar | Exodus 27:1-8

The Tabernacle complex was divided into two parts, the outer courtyard and the inner tent of meeting. How did one gain access from the outside to go inside? The answer: the bronze altar. Study God’s Word with us to discover how the bronze altar illustrates how people outside of God in their sin can gain access to Him through surrender to the sacrifice.
