Bay Ridge Christian Church

Lee Short spoke to us about how we are obligated to share the Gospel of Christ with those around us. He also shared with us about the work they are currently doing in Mexico and other places.

Our strategy in spiritual warfare is to draw near to God, be alert for the attacks of Satan, and stand against, resist, and attack his works.

Through Christ and the Gospel God has equipped us with everything we need for spiritual warfare as we draw our strength from Him.

Spiritual warfare is Satan’s ongoing war against God, His purposes, and His people, and every Christian and church is part of this warfare.

True freedom - the ability to live as God created us - is found only in Christ. We apologize for the poor audio quality of this teaching. We had technical difficulties during the teaching.

We must practice the habit of preaching the gospel to ourselves. 1 John 3:1-3 For more teachings and resources, please visit https://wwww.brcc.church/teaching

Christians are called to holy ambition - not for fleeting fame but for praise of God for a quiet life of honest work and loving others.

A Christian must be holy in their sexual conduct, avoiding all sexual activity other than a man and woman within marriage.

The church is to be a community overflowing with love, growing in holiness, as it waits for the return of Jesus.

Holy joy is found in the growing faith of those we love, even in the midst of persecution and suffering.

God’s holy people receive the Gospel as the Word of God rather than a human teaching, but those who reject it remain under God’s wrath.

Holy ministry flows from proper motives, is conducted in a Christlike manner, and endures difficulty until the Gospel bears fruit.

A visiting missionary focuses on Ephesians and the amazing love and grace of God.

The church is a holy people who have been chosen by God, given a mission, and are sustained and inspired by our hope in the return of Jesus Christ.

Christian should express thankfulness for God’s blessings and the people in their lives.

Jesus, Who is fully God, has conquered death and hell and offers eternal life to all who believe in Him.

The church must not try to be independent and sufficient in its own resources, but find its sufficiency for life and ministry only in Christ.

Jesus sees the patient perseverance of the Church through the midst of trials and He will reward her soon.

The church must be alive and alert, not living off past faith and deeds, but nurturing a vital, continuing walk with Jesus and opposition to Satan.

The church must not embrace a false ‘tolerance’ for those who compromise essentials which leads to an idolatry and immorality within the church.

The church must not be fooled by Satan or his servants into compromising with idolatry or sexual sin, and must call all members to repentance for such sins.

The church must be faithful, even when persecuted and killed, knowing that God is Sovereign and eternal life awaits His people.

The church must test all teaching and reject false teachers, but it must also remain fervent in love for God and people.

If you believe in the completed work of Christ then you must have hope in the work that has been done /is being done/ will be done for you.

God intends marriage to be a lifelong, vital union between a man and a woman, and anything less is a distortion or rejection of God’s will.
