"Now, the first preachers of the Christ Evangel preached Christ."
"They did not, in the first place, preach salvation or sanctification or forgiveness, or judgement or heaven. That does not mean that they did not preach those things; they did, but not in the first place. They preached Christ, and all those things were included in the preaching of Christ." - T. A. Sparks
A word from the Pastor:
Greetings!
My name is Bro. Austin and I would like to take a moment to share with you a little bit of the principle dynamics and the heart burden for the Church here at Christ Evangel. Our chief mission is to preach Christ, to know Him, and to make Him known. We recognize that our great pursuit of God, according to scripture, calls us to the great work of yielding our lives to the glory of the name above every name, that we might be found doers of the word, and not hearers only! There are so many ministries out there today. Some are real, Some are looking to honestly, before God, glorify their Maker and be found obedient. Many are not. If we are then uncomfortably honest, we can say that the scriptures are true of this generation, and that many wolves have entered into the fold, not sparing the flock. Many are making merchandise of the sheep, they have scattered the little lambs, and have not visited them. We desire to proclaim the fame of the Exalted Christ and to be a blessing to His precious Saints during an age when many in the corporate religious industry have made merchandise of the sheep, have forgotten their first love, and become distastefuly lukewarm.
All the great truths and historical accuracies of the scriptures are to be taught and examined, and the full council of God undoubtedly believed, practiced, and proclaimed, but never at the cost of removing Christ from His functional and rightful place. His Father made Him head over all things to the Church, the one who is before all things, and the one by whom all things consist. We call this His 'Preeminence': His continual and perpetual right to the first place and the head of the line in everything, even before 'good religious activity". Even the inspired and authoritative scriptures are most valuable in the fact that they point us to Him as the supreme and glorious Object of our examination. Our Lord indicts the religious students and masters standing before Him by saying:
"Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."
Christ is all.
