The Lightroom at Mt. Vernon Student Ministry

In the previous sermon we talked about how we guard ourselves against false teachings, and in 9-15 Paul turns our attention to the one and only true teaching—the gospel of Jesus Christ. Every false teaching some way or another says/implies Christ work and His salvation is incomplete. But Paul shows us in verses 9-15 that we have complete salvation in Jesus Christ by transforming us, giving us comp...

Our world is filled with false teaching, so how do we guard ourself against the false teachings in our day? Paul wrote this letter because of heresy spreading around the church at Colossae, and he tells them do not be taking captive by empty deceit. As we learn in this message we guard ourselves against false teaching by 1. Walking In Christ, which leads to 2. Be built up and strengthen. And this...

Last night we continued walking through Colossians and studied Colossians 1:21-23. Paul reminds the believers in Colossae their former state before coming to Christ—that of alienation, hostility, and evil deeds. He reminds them that Christ has reconciled them back to God, and to not shift from the hope of the gospel. As believers we never graduate from the gospel, we must remember that we were onc...

Listen along as we continue studying Colossians. We look at one of the most beautiful passages about our Lord Jesus. I do not think it is by coincidence we arrive at these verses on the Supremacy of Christ at this time. The past couple of weeks has been heavy for our country, but Christ still remains supreme above it all. I hope this sermon blesses you.

The past 2 weeks we have been looking at how we can know we have gospel fruit in our life and how we continue to grow and be transformed. This week in verses 13-14 we looked at the foundation of that all—we have been delivered, transferred, and have been redeemed. I hope this sermon blesses you and reminds you of the great salvation we have in Christ.

We are walking through the letter of Colossians. I have titled this sermon series “The Preeminent Christ.” I forgot to record the first sermon for verses 1-8, but these week we studied verses 9-12. In verses 1-8 we looked at how we can know the gospel is bearing fruit in our lives: faith in Christ, love for others, and living in view of the hope we have in heaven. Now in 9-12 we break down Paul’s...

In this sermon we discuss the person and work of Jesus Christ by looking at the cross. The cross is the heart of the Christain faith, but in order for us to not lose sight of the significance of the cross we must answer a few questions such as: why did the cross occur?, what happen on the cross?, and what does this mean for us today? In this sermon we answer those questions by looking at Isaiah 53...

For the next several weeks I’ll be posting sermon recordings from our Wednesday night services. For the next several weeks we are going to be studying the person and work of Christ. To kick off this series we talked about the incarnation of Christ and answered what is the incarnation and what it means for us today? Give it a listen and I hope this message edifies your soul.

In this episode we begin our new series looking at the 5 Solas of the Reformation. Today we discuss “Grace Alone”.

Once we know the gospel and the theology of the gospel what are we to do with it? In this episode we answer that question. We also discuss how we are not to wait until we have the right “position” or “title” before we share the gospel, but yet we discuss how we look at where we are at now in life for an advancement of the gospel!! I pray this episode blesses and encourages you!! Scriptures: Philip...

In this episode we discuss the hope that gospel brings us! A part of the gospel that is often neglected, but yet a vital part of the gospel is the doctrine of glorification. I hope this teaching encourages you in your walk with Christ, and reminds you of the great hope we have through our Lord Jesus! Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 5:1-5 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 1 Peter 1:3-5

In this episode we talk about the doctrine of sanctification. God loves us to much to forgive us but not transform us. Scripture has called us to put off the old self and put on the new self, this is God’s will for our life! I pray this teaching edifies you in your journey with Christ! Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 4:3 1 Peter 2:24 Romans 6:22 Colossians 3:1-12

We continue in our series in the theology of the gospel as we answer the question of “What does the gospel make us?” (The Doctrine of Justification)

We are starting a series studying “The Theology of The Gospel”. Before we break down the theology of the gospel we must understand what the gospel even is. In this episode we answer the question of “What is the Gospel”?

This is a short recording of what you can expect from this podcast and my heart in making this podcast.
