Most Christians would loudly say that church is for everyone, but the Bible is very clear that certain behaviors don't belong in church. The one that James is concerned about in chapter 2?

In Acts 17, three cities receive and respond to the Gospel in vastly different ways. Thessalonica is mostly hostile, Berea is mostly receptive, and Athens is mostly curious. These responses are very similar to how the Word of God is received today. So how does Paul preach to a mix of people and their varied responses to the Gospel of Jesus. -- Sermon by Pastor Nate Click -- New to Heritage? Want t...

In Acts 13, the good news of the Gospel is sent out to Gentile cities for the first time recorded in the Bible.

When the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem heard that Peter had taken the Gospel to Cornelius and the Gentiles, they began to ask questions both of Peter and the work that God was doing.

Sometimes we think of the Gospel (the good news of Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection for our salvation) as being one-dimensional and merely admitting us to heaven.
