Biblical exposition and gospel-centered preaching from Atlantic Gospel Chapel, an independent evangelical church in Atlantic, Iowa. Since 1954, we've been committed to faithful Bible teaching that encourages believers, explains salvation through Jesus Christ, and addresses life's challenges through the lens of Scripture. Each message reflects our dedication to the inspired, inerrant Word of God.
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 d...
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 rever...
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, Pau...
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 res...
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 open...
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 toda...
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 d...
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 ...
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...
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 throug...
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 challen...
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...
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:
I...
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 Holoca...
For the believer in Jesus Christ, our focus is on knowing Jesus. In Revelation 19, following the destruction of Babylon in chapter 18, heaven swells with praise for the Lord and His righteous judgments. We then are brought into the marriage supper of the Lamb, where the bride of Christ, the church, is arrayed in fine linen; thus giving us a splendid view of our future glory with the Bridegroom, our Savior, Jesus Christ.
However, ...
As we come to the close of the book of Acts, we may be tempted to think that this is the end of the story. Instead, we find that it is, in fact, a beginning. Often referred to as, "The Acts of the Apostles," Luke opened his book addressing Theophilus, to whom he wrote the Gospel of Luke, stating in Acts 1:1 and 2, "The first account, O Theophilus, I composed, about all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when He was t...
In his letter to the church in Colossae, Paul is writing to a church that is worthy of much praise. In the opening verses of his letter, he praises God for their faith and love toward the saints. He then offers prayers for them that they would continue to grow and to be strengthened.
But he also writes to a church which has been infected with various false teachings including Gnosticism and legalism. And as he moves on from his ...
As the book of Acts nears its close, we find Paul finally arriving in Rome. It has been a long journey fraught with many trials and dangers. As the last chapter of Acts opens, we find Paul shipwrecked on the island of Malta.
To the surprise of some Christians, the pagan inhabitants of this island showed Paul and his companions extraordinary kindness. This brings us to one lesson from this passage, the pagans are also created in ...
Most of us are familiar with the various storms of life, such as the loss of loved ones, or changes in employment or income, difficulties with relationships, etc.. In the midst of these various trials, we can find ourselves struggling to see God's purposes in allowing this situation into our lives.
The book of Acts a three part story which parallels the Lord's call to His disciples to carry the Gospel to Jerusalem, Judea and Samar...
In this special message, the leadership of Atlantic Gospel Chapel come together to bring a message about Christmas. In this message we consider:
