Bay Ridge Christian Church - Teaching

Missionary Focus Week - ​​Rich & Ginger Jorgensen​ will be sharing about their ​ministry in Niger

All Christians enjoy the forgiveness of sins, know God, and have overcome Satan.

Authentic Christian faith is seen not in the claim to know God, but in the fruit of faith - obeying God’s commands, walking as Jesus did, and loving other Christians.

Christians are called to seek shalom (peace) for their city through prayer, godly speech, working with others to promote human flourishing, and always promoting the Gospel as the only hope for true shalom.

This weeks message - Peace For The City - had some technical difficulties and we are unable to post it. We are working on fixing the issue so we can share it with you as soon as possible.

When we sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus the Righteous One, who has provided authentic atonement for us - bearing the wrath of God and purifying us from sin, allowing us to freely come before the Father.

If we deny our sin, we are deceived, but if we confess our sin, we are forgiven and cleansed.

Authentic faith is built upon Jesus, the True Word of Life, is proclaimed in the Gospel, and produces fellowship and full joy as we walk with God and His people.

All of the Gospels present Jesus as the Risen One, Conqueror of death, and Lord of all, and call all people to become His disciples.

On Palm Sunday, we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where He was recognized as the Messianic King.

John presents Jesus as the Eternal God in flesh - fully Divine, Creator of all, the True Light, the Great I AM - coming to reveal the Father and redeem His people.

John presents Jesus as the Eternal God in flesh - fully Divine, Creator of all, the True Light, the Great I AM - coming to reveal the Father and redeem His people.

Luke presents Jesus as the ox, full of strength yet suffering as a sacrifice for sin, so that we might repent and be forgiven of our sins and then serve others.

Mark presents Jesus as the High King on the move. Although His true identity was hidden from most, His ultimate authority and power confronts the world and could not be withstood. Ultimately all will choose either complete allegiance to this King, or high treason against His Kingdom.

Matthew presents Jesus as the fulfillment of the Old Testament, God’s True Son who accomplishes the call of Adam and Israel, succeeding where they failed, to bring salvation to the earth.

The ancient church saw the Gospels as a fulfillment of Ezekiel and John’s visions, and as testimonies to Christ - who is the focal point of all of God’s revelation.

We had two guest speakers from Advancing Native Missions to speak to us about the work of Himalayan Inland Mission in Uttaranchal Pradesh, India.

Lent is patterned after Jesus' forty days in the wilderness. It is a time when we fast, pray, confess sin, and set aside distractions so we can fully seek God to be empowered by His Spirit.

As Christians, we are called to cast away our fear, doubt and anxiety despite our circumstances and step out of our comfort zones and face change with confidence in God’s character and the absolute truth of His Word.

If we deny our sin, we are deceived, but if we confess our sin, we are forgiven and cleansed.
