to the Sovereign Grace Baptist Church web-site. We are a Reformed
Baptist Church and we subscribe to the 1689 London Baptist Confession of
Faith as the best written expression of our beliefs.
We believe the preaching of the Word of God is central to our worship. We
engage in a consecutive, expository ministry in our services. Our message
can be summarized thus:
- All men are sinners, and do not have the ability to do anything to save
themselves.
(Exodus 20:1-17, Romans 3:20, 1 John 3:4, Galatians 3:24,
Romans 1:29-32, Romans 3:10 & 23, Isaiah 64:6, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:1,
Isaiah 64:7, Jeremiah 13:23, John 1:12 & 13, John 6:44, Titus 3:5)
- Jesus Christ, God's Son, is the perfect Savior for sinners, even the
worst.
(Matthew 1:21, Luke 19:10, John 14:6, 1 Timothy 1:15, 2:5, Hebrews
7:25)
- The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit covenanted in eternity past, to
choose some to eternal life. This salvation would be based on the election
of the Father and the death of Christ for the sins of His people. The Holy
Spirit in regeneration applies to Christians individually the finished work
of Christ. Salvation is wholly from God by sovereign grace, apart from
any kind of human merit or effort
(Ephesians 1:3,4; 2:8-10, Acts 13:48,
Romans 9:16, 2 Thessalonians 2:13,14)
- God has commanded all people to turn from their sins in repentance and
completely turn in belief toward the Lord Jesus Christ, who is ready, able
and willing to save all who come to Him by faith.
(Mark 1:15, Luke 13:3 &
5, Acts 5:31, 16:31, 20:21, Luke 18:13-14, Matthew 11:28, John 6:37, Romans
10:12-13, Ephesians 2:8 & 9, Hebrews 7:25)
