Calvary Baptist Church Tilton, IL

Brother Luke’s sermon thundered with the truth that the gospel is not soft, sentimental encouragement—it is a roaring rescue mission. He contrasted the crushing weight of the Law at Mount Sinai with the overwhelming grace of Christ at Calvary, emphasizing that true grace doesn’t soothe pride but slays it, doesn’t patch up the wounded but raises the dead. The gospel is not advice; it is divine power that transforms condemned sinners into adopted sons, not by works but by the finished work of Christ alone.#GraceWithTeeth #LawAndGospel #ChristAlone #RoaringGospel #LionOfJudah #FromCondemnedToRedeemed #TruthThatSaves #GraceUponGrace #NoSoftGospel #HeRoarsWeRise

Pastor Dan’s sermon encouraged believers by reminding them that God gives us hope even during life’s hardest trials. We have hope because of what God has done for us—He chose us, set us apart, and saved us by Christ’s blood. We also have hope because of who God is: sovereign, gracious, and faithful—He chose to make us His, even in our suffering.#HopeInChrist #1Peter #GodIsFaithful #ChosenByGod #GraceAndPeace #SovereignGod #EnduringFaith #BiblicalHope

Brother Luke passionately preached on the critical importance of rightly distinguishing between the Law and the Gospel, declaring that the Law reveals our sin and helplessness while the Gospel reveals Christ's completed work on our behalf. Using powerful historical illustrations, especially the life of Martin Luther, he emphasized that salvation is not earned by human effort but received freely by faith alone through grace alone. The sermon was a strong call to repent, believe, rise in newness of life, and boldly proclaim the pure Gospel without compromise in a world desperate for true hope.#LawAndGospel #GraceUponGrace #ChristAlone #ReformationFire #SolaFide #SoliDeoGloria #CalvaryBaptistTilton #PreachTheWordWatch it here: https://youtu.be/f6lt-XVtBsQ

Pastor Dan’s sermon focused on how Christ’s death on the cross is the ultimate display of God’s power and wisdom, not human reasoning. He emphasized that salvation comes through believing in the crucified Christ, and that God's plan of redemption, though often seen as foolish by the world, is the true wisdom that saves sinners.#GospelWisdom #ChristCrucified #PowerOfTheCross #SavedByGrace #1CorinthiansWatch it here: https://youtu.be/61WXH517tTA

Pastor Dan preached that Jesus gave undeniable physical proof of His resurrection to His followers—not just to validate His victory over death, but so that we might believe and be saved. From Mary Magdalene to Thomas, each witness had their doubts erased by encountering the risen Christ. The Apostle John recorded these events with one purpose: so that we, even today, might believe that Jesus is the Son of God and have eternal life in His name. #RisenSavior #HeIsAlive #FaithInChrist #ResurrectionProof #BelieveAndBeSaved
