If 12 men couldn't keep the Watergate cover-up going for three weeks, how did 12 apostles maintain a "lie" about the resurrection for 40 years while being beaten, tortured, and killed? They couldn't—unless it actually happened. This Easter message from Atlantic Gospel Chapel's leadership team traces Jesus' post-resurrection appearances through four Gospel accounts. Grant Nelson opens at the empty tomb, where Roman soldiers passed o...

This teaching from 2 Timothy 3:14–17 centers on the absolute authority, reliability, and sufficiency of Scripture. The message opens with a vivid illustration: if we begin tearing out parts of the Bible we find inconvenient or unbelievable, “really we don’t have anything.” From there, the lesson emphasizes Paul’s charge to Timothy to continue in the sacred writings—writings he had known since childhood—because these Scriptures are...

This teaching reflects on the emotional burdens people carry—worry, shame, disappointment, hopelessness—and the way past failures can weigh down the heart. Drawing from real‑life observations and Scripture, the message encourages listeners to “let the past be past” and turn fully to Jesus, the One described as both the great physician and the universal specialist who heals physical, emotional, and spiritual wounds. Through stories ...

In this teaching, the familiar story of Luke 15 is approached from a fresh and deeply introspective angle. Rather than focusing solely on the prodigal as a picture of the unbeliever, the lesson invites believers to see themselves in both sons—the wandering child who drifts toward self‑indulgence and the dutiful elder who quietly nurtures resentment. The message challenges listeners to confront the subtle lies they tell themselves ...

In today's teaching from 2 Timothy 3:12–17, we explore the enduring power and purpose of Scripture in the life of every believer. Drawing from Paul’s encouragement to Timothy, the message highlights how God has spoken through His Word from the beginning, how the sacred writings make us “wise unto salvation,” and why believers must continue steadfastly in what they have learned—even amid persecution and cultural decline. With vivid...

One of the driving philosophies of marketing is the idea, "Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door."  The constant push is for something new.  And for existing products, it is marketed as, "New and improved."  In some cases, the new is an improvement.  But history is filled with goods and services hyped as the next best thing, only to fail miserably.

In our passage today, we continue our examination of ...

Your children are watching everything you do. They soak it up like a sponge – and then they imitate it. But here's the thing: it's not just children. Other believers are watching too. After warning Timothy about the godless people who will infiltrate the church in the last days, Paul pivots with a striking contrast: "But you..." Timothy was different. He had followed Paul's teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, and per...

Today's teaching explores Paul’s warning in 2 Timothy 3 about the rise of deceptive, ungodly influences within the church and the purpose God accomplishes through them. Drawing from Scripture and real‑world examples, we will see how false teachers often appear outwardly religious while undermining the truth, preying especially on those weighed down by sin or lacking discernment. Paul's teaching explains why God allows such challeng...

In today's teaching from John 6, we explore what it truly means to believe in Jesus—not merely as a one‑time act of salvation, but as a continual posture of trust throughout the Christian life. Using the feeding of the 5,000, Peter’s faltering steps on the water, and the crowd’s desire to make Jesus king, today's lesson highlights how easily people follow Christ when life is comfortable, yet struggle when circumstances turn difficu...

When you hear "the last days," what comes to mind? Zombies? Nuclear war? The mark of the beast? Here's something that might surprise you: according to Scripture, the last days began 2,000 years ago with the coming of Christ—and we're living in them right now. But the danger Paul warns Timothy about in 2 Timothy 3 isn't an alien invasion or global catastrophe. It's something far closer to home: wicked people who have infiltrated the...

A recent social media post made the statement,  “One can sin 24 hours a day 7 days a week, but if that person is a Christian, they are still 100% assured of going to heaven."  The responses were swift and came down primarily in one of two camps.  One camp suggested that Christians cannot sin, based upon passages such as 1 John 3:6, "No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or has come to know Him."  The other cam...

Merry Christmas! It is again that time of year when much of the world pauses in celebration of Christmas.  But what does Christmas really mean to those who call upon the name of Jesus Christ.

In today's lesson, the Atlantic Gospel Chapel leadership team shares various thoughts on Christmas.  These include:

1. The reason for the birth of Christ
2. The believer's "hope chest"
3. The Scriptural basis for the beloved Christmas hymn, "Joy t...

In the classic Christmas movie, "A Christmas Story," young Ralph's one desire for Christmas is to receive a Red Rider BB Gun.  But throughout the movie, the grownups, including the department store Santa, chastise him, "You'll shoot your eye out, kid!"  Someone once likened sharing the Gospel with having a "Gospel gun."  The problem is, we often get caught up in all the little details we fail to take the shot when it comes.  Do we ...

In today's modern world, we don't really need to remember much.  If we are trying to recall a certain fact, we turn to Google for the answer.  Who needs to remember how to add or subtract when we have a calculator at our disposable, even as an app on our phones.  Those in the ancient world did  not have such luxuries, so their minds were often more attuned to remembering things than we might be today.  Regardless, they still needed...

Do you give thanks, or do you expect to be thanked? Alex Kremer confronts our culture's entitlement epidemic and the dangerous belief that God owes us something for our good behavior. Through Jesus' parable of the unworthy servant and the healing of ten lepers—where only one returned to give thanks—discover why genuine gratitude is the distinguishing mark of true faith. Learn how recognizing that everything from God is pure grace, ...

What if you tore up your copy of God's covenant with you—would He still keep His? Paul wrote from a Roman prison cell, chained as a criminal, yet declared with unshakable confidence: "The word of God has not been chained." This message from 2 Timothy 2:8-13 explores why remembering Jesus Christ—risen from the dead, seed of David—transforms how you face suffering, persecution, and even your own faithlessness.

Discover the powerful s...

Can you believe in Jesus as a great teacher but still be lost? Nicodemus came to Jesus acknowledging His miracles and divine authority—yet Jesus told him he couldn't even see the kingdom without being born again. This penetrating message exposes the danger of "easy believism" that skips over the uncomfortable truth: you must first recognize yourself as condemned, undone, a sinner needing the Lamb of God who takes away sin.
