Reaching the World for Christ.

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”

– Mark 16:15 –

River Westlake Baptist Church is broadcasting sermons twice a week on Short Wave Radio. 

The Super Station WBCQ is airing sermons from River Westlake Baptist Church every Monday at 8pm (EST) and every Wednesday at 5pm (EST).  They can be heard on WBCQ frequency 7490 and can be heard on any short wave radio anywhere in the world.  WBCQ also airs our broadcasts on their website during the same times that these sermons air over the radio.  (www.wbcq.com)

WBCQ is a mammoth super station that broadcasts up to an incredible 500,000 watts across the entire world. 

Our congregation is overjoyed to potentially be reaching parts of the world that have no other access to the life saving Word of God.  These broadcasts reach areas of the world where the internet is restricted and Christianity is condemned and strongly persecuted, along with reaching everywhere else in the world that doesn’t have such restriction and persecution. 

Praise God for this opportunity to reach these starving souls.  We invite you to join us.

Westlake Gospel Campaign

 

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
– Acts 1:8 –

Over the last few months River Westlake Baptist Church has been conducting a city-wide evangelism program through the mail.  We have now successfully gotten the life changing, life saving Gospel of Jesus Christ into the households of every address in Westlake.  Praise God.

Join us in praying for the city of Westlake; that a revival of Biblical doctrine would govern this city, and that a revival of salvation would sweep through its streets and homes.

Acts 4:4 – “Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.”

A Traditional Church Service.

 

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
– Romans 1:16 –

 

At River Westlake Baptist Church, we offer a traditional church service very much like you would have experienced at the beginning of the 1900s.  The surroundings are authentic to that time period, but more importantly, we open the Bible and exhort directly out of it, which used to be the norm in churches. 

Unfortunately, there is confusion these days about preaching.  Opening the Bible and exhorting directly out of it is now considered “hard preaching.”  Exhorting out of the Bible is not “hard preaching,” it is “Biblical preaching.”

We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  On the contrary, we want to share the full counsel of God with as many people as we can.  Please join us soon, it’s very important.

Romans 1:16 – “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

 

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
– Romans 1:16 –

 

Ecumenicism is sweeping through churches today and is rendering them impotent.  If churches won’t stand for God’s truth, who is going to?

Romans 1:16 – “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Today unfortunately many churches and their people ARE ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  There are many people and churches that profess to believe the Word of God, but think that they must improve on the Gospel to make it more palatable to people.  They think that God couldn’t possibly have meant that we should actually tell people to avoid sin, to hold fast to the doctrines of God, and that the Word of God is the only standard of truth.  They don’t believe these things.

There are lots of churches that think they know better than God, so they will “improve” the clear teachings of the Word of God and make it more agreeable to people.  They think that they know what will “resonate” with people better than God does.  May God have mercy on them.

Churches that are ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ are not actually churches, they are just meeting halls and social clubs.  This is why Christianity is so weak right now; because the Word of God is being compromised, and because people think that the Word of God needs to be improved, and they know just how to improve it… make it more agreeable to everybody.

God knows who is a true believer in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and who has a feigned faith.

Revelation 14:12 – “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
