Scripture: Selected Scriptures

Recent surveys have shown that the majority of evangelical Christians, including pastors, believe that the Roman Catholic Church is simply another denomination of Christianity, with many even professing that the Pope is a born-again Christian. But what does the Roman Catholic Church really believe, and do those beliefs coincide with God’s authoritative Word? What is the history of Roman Catholicism when compared to biblical, evangelical, protestant Christianity? And how do the current Pope’s Jesuit roots factor into all of this? Let there be no further confusion on our part as we closely examine the answers to these questions.

HPBC Elder: Greg Lynch

– Scripture: Selected Scriptures

– There’s no arguing that our nation is in a state of spiritual decline. However, with whom does the burden of blame lie? Is the government to blame, or does the nation’s decent into spiritual vapidness a result of the ever decreasing biblical behavior of the American “church”? It is the true church’s job to remain faithful in the face of such trends, and spiritual stands must then be made at the individual, church-wide, and societal levels.

– Scripture: Selected Scriptures

– No matter what the circumstances in one’s life, the Christian can rest assured that God is completely in control of all things at all times. Nothing happens outside of what he has ordained. This divine providence is present all throughout Scripture where the Lord’s will is perfectly executed, even during what appears on the surface to be inopportune circumstances.

– Scripture: Selected Scriptures

– Pulpit Sunday

– In today’s day and age, the mainstream church has made an increasing effort to do away with the pulpit and take emphasis off of preaching. However, God has commanded that His Word be proclaimed, and has ordained preaching as the method by which the flock of God is fed. To not preach is to starve the sheep. And on this day, as our church celebrates the inauguration of a brand new pulpit, the focus is entirely transfixed on the Word and preaching.

Pastor Greg Lynch – A topical sermon

– There are two views of religion in the world. One tells you that you need to work as hard as you possibly can to try and earn favor from God. The other tells you that you can’t earn God’s favor, but also that He has already done the work for you, and all you need to do is rest at His feet. Which spectrum do you fall under?
