Atlantic Gospel Hour

Are you living in freedom—or just trying to earn it? Many people believe that salvation must be maintained by rule-following or spiritual performance. In this compelling message, Alex Kremer unpacks Paul’s continued confrontation with legalism and the radical freedom found in the gospel of grace. Drawing from the heart of Galatians, the sermon highlights the danger of adding anything to Christ’s finished work and reminds us that our identity is not in what we do but in what Christ has done. Whether you're weighed down by religious expectations or searching for assurance of your standing before God, this message will realign your heart with the true, liberating message of the gospel. Experience the freedom of sonship, not slavery.

What keeps you silent when you know you should speak up for your faith? In 2 Timothy 1, Paul writes from prison to a young and timid Timothy, urging him to fan into flame the gift of God—and to not be ashamed of the gospel. In this message, Grant Nelson explores how Paul equips Timothy to face fear, endure suffering, and stand boldly for Christ. This isn’t just ancient encouragement—it’s a timely charge for every believer tempted to shrink back in a culture that’s increasingly hostile to biblical truth. You’ll discover what it looks like to rely on the Spirit of power, love, and self-control—and why guarding the gospel isn’t just a calling for pastors or missionaries, but for every follower of Jesus. If you’ve ever struggled with spiritual intimidation, fear of rejection, or feeling unequipped to speak truth, this sermon will strengthen your resolve and refocus your purpose. Christ has called us, saved us, and empowered us. It's time to step forward.

What if your entire identity changed in a moment? Galatians 3:23–29 presents a dramatic shift from being bound under the law to being set free through faith in Jesus Christ. In this sermon, Alex Kremer walks through the Apostle Paul’s powerful declaration that we are no longer slaves, but sons—and heirs—of God. This isn’t just a theological upgrade. It’s a complete transformation of your relationship with God and your fellow believers. You’ll discover how faith replaces law, how baptism unites us with Christ, and how spiritual adoption grants us a new identity that transcends race, class, and gender. Whether you’re wrestling with legalism, struggling to feel accepted, or just wondering what it really means to be a child of God—this message will bring clarity, hope, and a challenge to walk in the freedom Christ has secured. You're not just forgiven—you belong.

Who are you, really? The world tells you to look inward or backward to define yourself—your past, your preferences, your performance. But Scripture calls us to look upward. In Colossians 3:1–17, Paul reminds believers that their identity is no longer rooted in the old self, but in Christ who is seated at the right hand of God. In this message, Doug Schorle unpacks what it means to “set your mind on things above” and live in the reality that your life is hidden with Christ in God. You’ll hear what it means to put off sin, put on Christlike virtues, and let the peace of Christ rule in your heart. This sermon challenges listeners to stop striving for significance in the world and start walking in the new self—one that reflects Christ in everyday speech, relationships, and purpose. If you’re weary from trying to “find yourself,” this message will anchor you in the identity that never shifts: who you are in Jesus.

How close is salvation? Closer than you think. In Romans 10, the apostle Paul strips away confusion and brings it all into focus: “If you confess with your mouth… and believe in your heart… you will be saved.” In this message, Ned Brown walks through one of the clearest and most powerful explanations of the gospel in all of Scripture. Romans 10 teaches that salvation is not about religious performance, ancestry, or law-keeping—it’s about believing the truth and calling on the name of the Lord. This sermon brings both clarity and urgency. You'll learn what it really means to be saved, why the message must be shared, and how God uses ordinary people—like you—to bring His word to the world. If you’ve ever wondered how to explain the gospel to someone else, or questioned if you’re “good enough” for God, this message will point you to the simplicity, accessibility, and power of faith in Christ.

Are You Trying to Finish by Works What God Started by Faith? What if trying harder is actually pulling you further from God? In Galatians 3, Paul calls out the Galatian believers with a bold question: “Who has bewitched you?” They had begun with faith—but were now trying to perfect themselves by works. In this sermon, Alex Kremer unpacks Paul’s passionate defense of salvation by faith alone. Drawing from Abraham’s story, the giving of the Law, and the promise fulfilled in Christ, Paul reminds the church that righteousness has never come through rule-keeping. It’s always been about belief. This message brings powerful clarity for anyone stuck in legalism, spiritual burnout, or the false belief that you have to earn what God already gave. You'll gain a deeper understanding of how faith connects us to the promises of God, frees us from the curse of the Law, and anchors us in the sufficiency of Christ. If you've ever wondered whether you're “doing enough,” this sermon offers the freeing truth: Christ is enough—start to finish.

Are you living in grace—or just giving it lip service? Galatians 2 reminds us that the gospel is always under threat, not just from the outside world, but from within the church itself. In this message, Alex Kremer revisits Paul’s confrontation with Peter and the ongoing battle to keep the gospel unpolluted by performance, tradition, or people-pleasing. This isn't about a theological disagreement—it’s about eternal stakes. Paul’s declaration, “I have been crucified with Christ...” isn’t just a doctrinal truth—it’s a call to live a radically new life, fully rooted in grace and free from the slavery of self-righteousness. This sermon will help you see the subtle ways we drift from gospel freedom—and give you practical clarity for standing firm in Christ. Whether you’re prone to performance-based faith or fearful of standing alone for truth, you’ll walk away with renewed courage to live fully in the grace that saves.

When everything crumbles—what’s left to say? Lamentations 5 is the final cry of a shattered people, and yet it pulses with one enduring hope: “Restore us to yourself, O Lord.” In this message, Stefan Johnson brings us through the closing chapter of Lamentations, where the poet turns from documenting devastation to pleading with God for mercy and restoration. This final lament is raw, honest, and desperate—but it’s also deeply reverent. It doesn’t demand answers; it seeks the presence of the One who holds them. This sermon will help you see that biblical lament isn’t about losing faith—it’s about bringing your deepest pain into the light of God's presence. If you’ve ever struggled with how to pray through suffering, or wondered where God is when life feels hopeless, this message will guide you into honest, humble dependence on the Lord. You’ll walk away reminded that even in the silence, God invites His people to cry out—and that restoration begins with return.

What happens when even leaders go astray? In Galatians 2, we witness a powerful moment when Paul publicly confronts Peter—not over politics or preference, but over the very heart of the gospel. In this sermon, Alex Kremer walks us through Paul’s defense of justification by faith alone and his refusal to compromise under pressure. Whether it was preserving gospel clarity before church leadership or rebuking hypocrisy in Antioch, Paul shows that the truth of the gospel must never be diluted—even by those we admire. This message will challenge your understanding of grace, identity, and Christian living. Are you trying to earn what God has already freely given? Are you living by faith in the Son of God—or by your own strength and performance? You'll walk away with a renewed grasp of what it means to be crucified with Christ and truly alive through Him. This isn’t just theological—it’s deeply personal. And it’s the gospel worth defending.

If your world shook apart tonight—what would be left standing? In Acts 16:25–34, a violent earthquake opens prison doors, but the real miracle is spiritual: a hardened jailer is transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this sermon, Ned Brown brings us into the dramatic moment when Paul and Silas, beaten and bound, respond not with complaints—but with praise. Their unwavering faith becomes the catalyst for one man’s eternal rescue. The jailer’s desperate cry, “What must I do to be saved?”, is met with the timeless truth: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.” This message is more than a story—it's an invitation. Whether you’re searching for answers, battling guilt, or uncertain about your salvation, this sermon clearly lays out the gospel and the urgency of responding to it. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of salvation by grace through faith—and the assurance that no one is beyond the reach of God’s mercy.

If God is loving, why does He allow suffering so severe? Lamentations 4 confronts this question head-on. Through the poet’s vivid imagery of Jerusalem’s destruction, we see the tragic consequences of a people who turned away from their God—and a God who could no longer withhold judgment. In this sermon, Stefan Johnson guides us through the sobering realities of God’s justice. But rather than leave us in despair, Lamentations 4 opens a deeper understanding: God's punishment is not random or cruel—it is righteous, measured, and ultimately redemptive. This message brings clarity to the character of God and offers a warning we dare not ignore. If you’ve ever questioned why judgment comes—or struggled with the idea of a holy God executing wrath—this message helps bridge the gap between holiness and hope.

The problem of evil and suffering in the world is one of the key issues in our modern age, especially as the world struggles to reconcile this with the concept of a loving God. In light of the recent murder of Charlie Kirk, this question becomes even more relevant. Kirk, known primarily as a conservative commentator was, more importantly, a faithful servant of Jesus Christ who boldly proclaimed the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In today's message, we will explore how we, as Christians, can respond to such evil. Our goal will be to develop a Heaven's-eye view of evil and suffering in the world. Thank you for listening. We pray you will be blessed as we seek to apply all of Scripture to our daily lives.

What happens when the gospel gets twisted? In Galatians 1:6–10, Paul doesn’t hold back—he expresses deep shock that the Galatian believers are turning to a different gospel, which is really no gospel at all. In this message, Alex Kremer unpacks Paul’s bold confrontation and reminds us why the gospel of grace cannot be rebranded, revised, or reworked to fit cultural preferences. Paul’s words cut through the noise with urgency: any distortion of Christ’s finished work is dangerous, deceptive, and damning. This sermon helps you identify modern-day “gospel distortions” and gives you the clarity and courage to stand firm in the true gospel. You’ll walk away with a renewed confidence in God’s Word and a sobering understanding of the stakes when truth is compromised. If you’ve ever wondered whether sound doctrine really matters—or struggled with the tension between pleasing God and pleasing people—this message will challenge and encourage you in your walk with Christ.

What does Easter mean—not just historically, but personally? In this special Resurrection Sunday message, the Atlantic Gospel Chapel Leadership Team shares a series of gospel-centered reflections on salvation, the cross, and the empty tomb. Through Scripture, personal insight, and pastoral wisdom, this collaborative message points to the heart of Christianity: that while we were sinners, Christ died for us—and rose again, offering eternal life to all who believe. This episode moves beyond tradition and dives deep into the soul-stirring truth of the gospel. Whether you’re wrestling with guilt, searching for peace, or longing for hope, the message of Easter is for you. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of why the resurrection matters, what it means to be saved by grace through faith, and how you can experience new life in Christ today. Let this be more than a holiday—it’s an invitation to receive the greatest gift ever offered.

What’s the big deal about a few opening verses? When the Holy Spirit inspires every word, even an introduction is packed with gospel power. In this sermon, Alex Kremer walks us through the first five verses of Galatians, showing that Paul’s greeting is far more than a formality—it’s a theological declaration. Right from the start, Paul defends his apostleship, centers on the resurrected Christ, and defines the true gospel in just a few lines. This message highlights why it matters who sends the message, what the message says, and who it’s ultimately for. You’ll see how Paul’s urgent tone and clarity set the stage for a letter aimed at preserving the purity of the gospel in the face of distortion. If you've ever glossed over book introductions, this sermon will change that. You'll gain a deeper appreciation for how every word of Scripture points us back to God’s grace, Christ’s authority, and the unchanging truth of salvation by faith.

What is the most important question a person can ask? The apostle Paul makes it clear in Galatians: How can a man be right with God? In this opening sermon on Paul’s letter to the Galatians, Alex Kremer lays the foundation for understanding the heart of the gospel—justification by faith alone. Far from being an abstract theological debate, this truth addresses the deepest need of every human heart. Are we made right with God through our own effort, rule-keeping, or moral performance? Or is it entirely by God’s grace, received through faith in Christ? Galatians delivers a bold and freeing answer that exposes the futility of self-reliance and highlights the sufficiency of Christ’s finished work on the cross. If you’ve ever wrestled with guilt, doubt, or the weight of trying to earn God’s favor, this message will point you to the liberating truth of the gospel. Discover the only way to true righteousness—and the joy that comes with it.

Have you ever felt distant from God, unsure if you truly belong to Him? In Colossians 1:21–2:3, the apostle Paul reminds us that though we were once alienated and hostile in mind, Christ has now reconciled us through His death and resurrection. In this sermon, Doug Schorle unpacks what it means to be made alive in Christ, firmly rooted in the gospel, and encouraged in heart as part of His body, the church. This message will challenge you to examine where you place your confidence—whether in your own strength, in traditions, or in Christ alone. You’ll discover the assurance of being presented holy and blameless before God, the joy of understanding the “mystery hidden for ages” now revealed, and the strength that comes from being knit together in love. If you long for deeper assurance in your walk with Christ, this passage offers hope, stability, and encouragement for your faith.

To put it plainly, the world is in trouble and it is clear that Satan is at work. It seems that everywhere we turn in our modern society, we see immorality, gender bending, homosexuality, blasphemy, murder, abortion, lawlessness, thievery, and the list goes on. As believers it can be easy to become discouraged as we ask ourselves, "Why doesn't the world follow God's law?". But where there's a mess, there's a message. In today's lesson, we turn to scripture to see what the Word of God has to say about our current situation. And as we do, we will draw out things which should encourage and strengthen the believer in the face of such evil circumstances. We will consider questions such as: We thank you for listening to today's teaching. We pray, that as we continue in this world, that you will be encouraged by the Word of God.

In our previous lesson, we began to look at the lies of the world which have trained the church regarding abortion, rather than the truth of the Word of God. As we considered this evil which is at the forefront of our society, we examined some of the lies we didn't realize we believed. The big lies include: In part 2 of this series, we consider the third lie, that a mother has the right to murder the child in her womb without consequences. Again, it is our desire that we be led by the Word of God regarding the topic of abortion, a topic which has great power to divide not only political groups, but the body of Christ, as well. We thank you for listening to today's teaching. We pray that we as a body of believers will be led together by the Word of God in all matters, and that His Word would guide us in this topic, as well.

One of the greatest tragedies facing our world today is the horror of abortion. This topic alone divides people not only politically, but it is a topic that divides the church as well. As a church, we must look to the Word of God to determine what the Lord has to say about this blight on our society. Sadly, many of us have been discipled by the world instead of the Word of God. The result is that, many churches during the Holocaust who sang louder to drown out the cries of the Jews carried by their churches on their way to the Nazi death camps, so the church today has grown complacent when it comes to the topic of abortion. Some of the lies we will consider in today's lesson are: Finally, we begin to look at three big lies regarding abortion, covering the first two today. We thank you for listening to today's teaching. We know this is a difficult topic for the church in today's world. We therefore pray, that as a body of believers, we will all turn to the Word of God to determine the proper perspective on this topic.
