Gospel Friday – But God…

August 12, 2016 by Phil Auxier

This coming Sunday, we’ll be thinking about someone who was dead…but God.

Today, if you’re trusting in Jesus, you were dead…

But God, rich in mercy, with great love, even when we were dead, made us alive together with Christ.

Pray Him today for His awakening work of grace in your life.

Gospel Friday – Paid. In. Full.

January 29, 2016 by Phil Auxier

In Jesus, we have a Savior who is both our reconciliation with God and our Reconciler. Today, trust in His work. If you trust in Him, your sins have been paid in full.

Weekend Recap – God’s Salvation

August 17, 2014 by Phil Auxier

My 8/17/14AM sermon, God’s Salvation from Romans 9:6-13, is now online. My aim was to wow everyone with God and His amazingly gracious saving acts towards those who don’t deserve them. We all need God’s salvation, He acts to save and it’s not based on our merit. I’m hoping you had a great Lord’s Day exalting Christ. Have a great week.

Yeah, that's right. My one, consuming passion is Jesus Christ, my Lord. I'm totally gripped by one message: the Gospel - the good news that God came after me when I was far from Him. So, the life I live, I live by faith in Him: He loved me and gave Himself for me.

From One Degree To Another is the change that He's accomplishing in me by grace. Growing downward in humility, upward into Him, outward toward others, and inward with renewal characterize my existence.

This site is where I flesh all of these types of things out, including my life as a slave to Jesus, husband, father, coffee-enjoyer, and pastor. I hope it encourages you.
