Sunday March 23, 2025 at the Hub City Church
Simon the Magician | Acts 8:9-25
The Birth of the Church | a teaching series through Acts
Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor
Sermon Notes:
In the gospels, JESUS consistently WARNS that there is a kind of ‘NOMINAL’ BELIEF that is NOT the same as GENUINE NEW BIRTH.
Matthew 7:21-23 // John 2:23-25 // Matthew 13:3,5-6, 20-21 // Matthew 13:24-30 // John 6:60-70
“We know, from Jesus Himself, that there are people who can be in the church but not of the church. We know there are unsaved “Christians.” And we know that Jesus will not be fooled, even if the rest of us pretend to be.” — Dean Inserra
Simon Magus: Portrait of an ‘Unsaved Christian’:
1) DESIROUS of the PRAISE of MAN
2) More interested in the BENEFITS of the CHURCH than of CHRIST
3) SKEWED UNDERSTANDING of the GOSPEL
4) Deficient REPENTANCE
The Hub City Church is a local expression of the church in Crestview, Florida, making disciples Who Believe the Gospel, Abide in Christ and Obey the Word to the glory of God.
Join us next Sunday at 10am. 837 W James Lee Blvd, Crestview, FL 32536.
