Faith Bible Fellowship Church of York

God has shown His extraordinary and unfailing love for His people by sending His Son Jesus Christ to die for them, even when they were weak and ungodly and still sinners.

Those who have been justified by faith in Jesus Christ can confidently hope in the future glory that awaits them, even in the midst of suffering.

Hope Against Hope: Faith That Stares Down The Impossible

Since God will redeem people from every tongue, every tribe, and every nation, we as a church therefore should be eager and motivated then to take the Gospel to the nations.

The God who kept His promises to Abraham is the same God who faithfully saves all those who place their faith in His Son and who will keep each and every promise He has made to them as well.

All who trust in Jesus Christ are declared righteous by God and become part of the same family of God.

All who trust in Jesus Christ are declared righteous by God and become part of the same family of God.

Those who have been declared righteous by God are marked by humility before God, unity with the people of God regardless of their race, and a growing desire to uphold the righteous requirements of the law.

God is both just and the justifier, because through the sacrificial death of His Son, Jesus Christ, He has secured redemption, satisfied His righteous wrath against sin, and thereby made a way then for sinners to be declared righteous by faith in Jesus Christ.

The Promise of the Holy Spirit and the Ascension of Jesus

Sunday Morning SonRise Sermon

Since Jesus Christ rose from the dead, we must keep the truth of the resurrection at the forefront of our minds, lest we forget about it, and we must live daily in the power and in the hope of the resurrection as well.

Since all of mankind in their natural condition are totally depraved, under the power of sin, and unable to save themselves, salvation then must come entirely by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ.

God’s covenantal privileges are real, His judgement is faithful and righteous, and His gospel never gives His people license to sin.

It’s not enough to say we’re Christians merely based on outward appearance, because our righteousness is based on the matter of the heart—a heart that is renewed and brings forth glory to God in our deeds, through repentance.

God did not give His people privileges to make them proud, but instead so that they would walk in obedience. Therefore, when they use them for selfish gain and don’t practice what they preach, their hypocrisy dishonors God before a watching world.

Since the work of the law is written on the human heart, and the conscience bears witness to God’s moral standards, no one will be able to claim on the day of judgment, “I didn’t know right from wrong.”

On the last day, God will judge every person, and He will render to each according to their works, works that will reveal whether they truly had saving faith or not.

The same God who justly judges the openly unrighteous also justly judges the self-righteous hypocrite. Therefore, fallen man must not excuse their sin, but instead repent and come to faith in Jesus Christ in order to escape the condemnation that they justly deserve.

God’s righteous wrath falls upon sinful rebels by giving them up to impurity, dishonorable passions, and a debased mind.

God’s wrath is revealed not because He is unloving, but because He is holy, and because humanity, though knowing God, refuses to honor Him and worships the creation instead of the creator.  

We have no reason to be ashamed of the gospel, since by faith in the gospel we are forgiven of our sins, clothed in the righteousness of Christ, and set free to obey God willingly.

A life shaped by the gospel is marked by prayer for one another, mutual encouragement within the church, and faithful gospel proclamation to unbelievers and believers alike.

The Lord Jesus Christ saves and sends his people for the sake of his own name among the nations.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

Jesus Christ, though truly God, humbled Himself by taking on flesh, in order to save sinners from their sins.

Jesus Christ is Immanuel, God with us, and the Savior who has saved His people from their sins.

Christians must boldly share the gospel with all types of people, all while knowing that Jesus Christ will continue to advance His Kingdom even through means that may seem inefficient to us.

Christians must fix their hope on the Lord Jesus Christ, endure the world’s opposition as they faithfully walk in the ways of Jesus Christ, and earnestly seek to share with those closest to them the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Let the redeemed of the Lord always give thanks for His steadfast Love.

Trust in God’s Word instead of your circumstances, encourage one another instead of being a burden, and hold fast to the unfailing promises of God, even when His plan for your life is hard to understand.

The Christian should not desire public approval but God’s favor; should not grumble but live with gratitude; nor should they just shun unbelievers, but instead should seek to wisely use every opportunity afforded to them to point unbelievers to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Even in the midst of the fiercest storms of life, God remains sovereign, His purposes remain good, and His Word will most assuredly come to pass.

In the storms of life, Christians are to trust in God's sovereign purposes, take faithful action, and courageously bear witness to their God. Knowing that such courage may embolden others to follow their lead.

Even in the midst of the fiercest storms of life, Christians can look to the hope they have in Jesus Christ, know that God will sustain them until they complete the work He has prepared for them, and rest in full confidence that their God will keep every promise He has made.

The Christian life is marked by the blessing of Christian friendship, the courage to offer wise advice to others for their own good, and the faithfulness to pray for those who reject that wise advice.

The faithful servant of Christ under pressure is reasonable in speech, radical in witness, and relentlessness in persuasion, in light of the glory of Christ.

The Christian life is one that speaks up for the voiceless, judges without partiality, and defends without hesitation those who cannot defend themselves.

Although the pomp, and power, and prestige of this world will all fade away, the Gospel of Jesus Christ will endure, advance, and prevail; therefore, as God’s people, we must boldly proclaim it and live in a manner worthy of it before the world around us.

Though evil men may delay justice, twist the truth, or seek your harm, our sovereign God providentially works through every circumstance to advance His kingdom and to accomplish His will.

Head knowledge alone will never save; only faith in Jesus Christ saves. Therefore, as those who have set their minds on what is eternal rather than on the fading riches of this world, we must urgently call people to repent and to believe in the gospel today.

Though people may lie about us, we must keep a clear conscience before God and remain faithful to Him, and our hope in the resurrection can compel us to do that.

Child Dedication and Baptism Service Homilies - James 1:17

“Peace! Be Still!”

God extraordinarily and providentially directs all things, using unlikely means for the protection of His people and the propagation of the gospel.

The Lord is faithful to His word. So find comfort in His will, trusting and knowing that He is with you and He will keep you.

Christians should speak the truth boldly but respectfully, exercise wisdom in difficult conversations, and take courage in the sovereignty of God, even when faithful service to Him is hard and leads to discouragement.

Christians must not be surprised when they are rejected for speaking the truth. And yet, they can still wisely appeal to legal protections when injustice comes their way, even as they seek to remain faithful in bearing witness to the truth.

The people of God, who are made up of individuals from throughout this entire world, must be a people who earnestly seek God’s will and who joyfully obey it.

God can save anyone He wills by His grace, even those who are most hostile toward Him. Therefore, we should always be willing to bear witness to Jesus Christ before unbelievers and even be willing to share our own conversion stories as a bridge to lead them to Jesus Christ as well.
