Atlantic Gospel Hour

Today's lesson represents part one of two considering the third point of the Atlantic Gospel Chapel Statement of Faith.
We Believe – Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of theHoly Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for oursins. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where at theright hand of God the Father, He is now the Head of the church and intercedes for allbelievers. In the future, He will take the Church – both the dead and living believers – tobe with Himself. Later, He will come to Earth to establish His Kingdom.
What does it mean that Jesus is True God and True man?  Why is this such a critical point in the Christian faith.

In today's lesson, we finish our look at that portion of the Atlantic Gospel Chapel's Statement of Faith dealing with the ordinances of the church.
We Believe – for the believer, the Lord’s Supper and water baptism by immersion areordinances to be observed by the church during this present age. They are, however,not to be regarded as a means of salvation. Like 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-27;Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 2:8-9.
Last week, we focused upon the Lord's Supper in the life of the church.  Today, we examine the role of baptism in the life of the believer.

In today's lesson, we continue our look at the Atlantic Gospel Chapel Statement of Faith.  Today, we begin a look at the two ordinances of the church, the Lord's Supper and Baptism.
From our Statement of Faith, "We Believe – for the believer, the Lord’s Supper and water baptism by immersion are ordinances to be observed by the church during this present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as a means of salvation." Like 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-27; Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 2:8-9.  In today's lesson, we consider the Lord's Supper and why it is important in the life of the church and the life of the believer.

We continue our look at the doctrine of the Trinity.  We examine more Scriptural evidence for this central doctrine of the church.  We consider the development of the doctrine within the church, which has its beginnings in the teachings of the Apostles and carried into the first and second centuries by those who studied with them.  We also consider errors associated with the Trinity.

In today's message, we continue through the Atlantic Gospel Chapel Statement of Faith.  "We Believe – there is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14."  Today we examine the doctrine of the Trinity and consider the implications for the believer today.

We continue our look into the first article of the Atlantic Gospel Chapel Statement of Faith.  Here we take a further look into the Bible itself to gain a deeper understanding into how we received the Bible in its current form.  How was it determined which books were the Word of God and which were not.

In today's lesson, we begin a series on the Atlantic Gospel Chapel Statement of Faith.  Each week, a member of the leadership team will expound upon each of the articles in our Statement of Faith.
Today, we examine the first article, We Believe – the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God; without error in the original writings; the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men; and the Divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life. 2 Timothy 3:16,17.

A recent video posted online asked the question, "Why do we celebrate Christmas?"  Then answers seem to reflect the modern, American culture as regards the Christmas season.  We celebrate because there are presents.  We celebrate time with family and friends.  But only one of the responses shown indicated a Biblical understanding of Christmas as the time we remember and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
But what does this truly mean?  As believers, do we really dig into the depths around the wonder and glory and truth of Christmas?  As one put it, "Jesus had the birthday but we got the gift."  In today's lesson, preached on Christmas morning, 2022, the Atlantic Gospel Chapel leadership team examines four aspects of the Incarnation:
The Pre-Incarnate Christ
The Old Testament prophecies which foretold the birth of Jesus
The Event of the birth of Jesus
What this all means for us
Thank you for listening to this special message.  May you be blessed as, together, we consider the awe and wonder of Immanuel, God with us.

As we continue in Acts 17, we find Paul in Athens addressing the men of the Areopagus to answer questions aroused by his preaching in the market place.  And just as we are today, we find that the people of Athens in Paul's day were very religious by nature.  But in our sin we worship things that are not God, who is the only One deserving of our worship.
As Paul presents his case before the council, he presents God as the creator of all things.  He presents God as the self-existent One who does not depend upon anyone or anything for His existence, but instead gives to all life, breath and all things.
Thank you for listening to today's message.  And as we consider the God who is, my you be blessed by the teaching of God's Holy Word.

As we enter into the Christmas season, our thoughts often go to all things Christmas.  The trees and decorations, the lights and presents.  Sunday School programs rehearse the Christmas story, and we return to passages such as Matthew 1, or Luke 2.  But what we don't often associate with Christmas is the story of creation.
When John opened his Gospel in John 1, he wrote, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God.  All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.”  Later in John 1:14, he wrote, "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us..."  The Second Person of the Trinity, the One who created the universe, became a man.  This is the story of Christmas.
So, as we look back to Genesis 1 at the story of creation, may we get a glimpse at eternal character and nature of God.  And may this cause us to stop and wonder, as David did, “When I see Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have established; What is man that You remember him, and the son of man that You care for him?” (Psalm 8:3-4 NASB)
Thank you for listening to today's lesson.  May you be blessed as we consider who God is and what He has done for us through His Son.
