What is the Church? | Acts 2 | First Presbyterian Church of Douglasville (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pastor Scott York explains what it means to live as a church from Acts 2: 42-47. The church is one of the most misunderstood concepts in modern Christianity, often reduced to a building, a social club, or a weekly obligation. But Acts 2:42-47 paints a radically different picture. The early church was a covenant community of people who had experienced God's grace and were committed to sharing that grace and with the world. They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, lived in genuine fellow
What is election or predestination? | Romans 8:26-30 | First Presbyterian Church Douglasville (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does it mean to be chosen by God? Election and predestination are two of the most searched and most misunderstood topics in Christian theology. Many people find these words unsettling or overly abstract, but Scripture presents them as deeply personal, profoundly comforting, and practically life-changing. This teaching walks through what the Bible actually says about election and predestination, starting in the Old Testament and moving through the New Testament. God calling Abraham, Moses re
How does the Holy Spirit work in us? | Philippians 1 | First Presbyterian Church Douglasville (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How does the Holy Spirit work in our lives? And how does God continue to grow our faith? In this sermon from First Presbyterian Church of Douglasville, Rev.

Paul's words remind us that our faith is not something we are expected to develop on our own. God is actively at work in us, growing our love, deepening our knowledge and discernment, and helping us become more like C
The Essentials: The Way to Eternal Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Few claims in all of Christianity are more debated or more foundational than this: Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. This is not a fringe idea or a modern invention. It runs consistently through both the Old and New Testaments, from Peter's fearless declaration before the Sanhedrin in Acts 4 to Jesus' own words in John 14:6, where He said He is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one comes to the Father except through Him. Passages in 1 Timothy, Colossians, Romans, and 1 Corin
The Essentials: A Broken World (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Something feels deeply wrong with the world, and that feeling is more significant than it might seem. If life were simply the product of impersonal forces with no design or purpose, there would be no reason to expect anything to be good or to feel that things should be different. That inner sense of wrongness is actually a fingerprint of God on the human conscience, pointing toward the truth that the world was not meant to be this way. The Bible names the problem directly. Romans 5 traces it bac
