Sgc Dayton Messages

The future for Christians is not a "pie in the sky" sentiment, but a very real source of hope with which we are meant to encourage one another regularly.

Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him…

"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."

Obeying Christ's commands springs from his power and love in making us new people. The new life he has won for us gives us hope in fulfilling the call to imitate God to one another in our love, our kindness, and forgiveness.

God showed us his love by sending his son to die for our sins, and we as Christians display the unseen God's glory by loving one another in the same manner as Christ: by daily laying down our lives for one another.

[Steve Bice's final sermon as Lead Pastor] Be the kind of people who so treasure the gospel that, on the final day, Jesus finds each of us still holding fast to Him.

The gospel of Jesus is not only the church's most prized "possession" worth preserving both personally and as an institution for the glory of King Jesus.

The church belongs to the Judge of all the earth, leading her to priotize doing what is just and good inside and outside the church for the honor of Christ.

Living as a redeemed, eternal family who is loving, committed, benevolent, and discerning magnifies God's glory and brings honor to Christ.

A church worthy of Christ holds fast to truth and character because both matter forever.

Healthy churches uphold the gospel as our foundation, our joy, and our message to the world.

The gospel of Jesus Christ produces men and women who display godliness and sound doctrine in their prayer, in their adornment, and in embracing their God-designed roles in the church.

God’s Spirit dwells in us, through Jesus’ righteousness, so we have the hope of eternal life.

Our desire to pray for the lost to be saved reflects God's abundant grace and reveals the true gospel soundness of our hearts.

The mercy of Christ meets us in our failures and carries us safely home.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is not only our foundation, it must be our primary focus.

God is our Savior and Jesus is our hope for remaining a Christ-worthy church.

Because our good God already knows what He is going to do, we’re called to trust Him entirely.
