But there are also many who have no response and show no interest. Have you ever wondered why this division happens? Are those who say yes to the gospel have better understanding and more wise than those who don’t? Are they better…

February 2, 2016September 25, 2019 bigspringschurchCanons of Dort, Five Points, John 10, Tulip

John Chapter 10 is a chapter rich in theology. In addition to the doctrine of the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, this chapter is a gold mine of the “doctrines of grace” – how a person is saved only by God’s grace alone in Christ alone, according to God’s sovereignty alone. Date Sermon Title Scripture Readings (texts in bold and Small-caps) January 10 “The Son Sets You Free” Isaiah 6:8-10; John 8:31-59; John 10:25-26; 1 Corinthians 2:14 January 17 “I Know My Own and My Own Know Me” Deuteronomy…

We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, inerrant and infallible in its entirety, unchanging, and God’s revelation of Himself.

About Us

What We Believe

The great ancient ecumenical creeds – Apostles’ Creed, Nicene Creed, Athanasian Creed, Definition of Chalcedon – are excellent statements of faith regarding the Holy Trinity, Christ, and the essential Christian Gospel. We confess and believe all that is taught in the Old and New Testaments, the inspired, inerrant, infallible, sufficient and authoritative word of God. We are committed to the whole of Scripture, and to the systematic exposition of biblical truth known as the Reformed faith. In addition to the Three Forms of Unity (Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession of Faith,…

“What is the Reformed Faith?”

John Calvin (1507-64) was a Frenchman who, through his own study of the Scriptures and reading the tracts of Luther and other older Reformers,…

© 2008 by Daniel R. Hyde. All rights reserved A Reformed church is Christian, Protestant, Confessional, not Catholic, not “dead, traditional, or ritualistic.” We believe that sinful humans are saved by grace alone, from eternity past to eternity future, and that we experience this grace of God as the Holy Spirit uses certain means that God has appointed in the Church: the preaching of the Word and celebration of the Sacraments.
