I am John T. Polk II (click for biography), a Gospel Preacher for the churches of Christ. This website provides some of my sermon outlines, Bible studies, and Bible articles which teach about Jesus Christ, becoming a Christian and what GOD expects of HIS people. We hope you will find this beneficial to your personal faith and encouraging to your Biblical studies. Please come back often, as this is a work in progress. I will be continually adding to it.
Because it is important to know what the Bible teaches, I provide a link to a Readable Bible so you can read the Bible for yourself. Several versions are available, but I recommend the New King James Version (NKJV) as being textually sound, accurately translated, and easily understood.
My purpose is to only teach God's inspired Word. The Bible teaches that, in becoming a Christian, one must
- Hear (Romans 10:17)
- Believe (John 3:36)
- Repent of our personal sin (Acts 17:30)
- Confess Jesus Christ (Acts 8:35-39)
- Be baptized [fully immersed in water] for remission of sin (Acts 2:38; Acts 10:47-48)
- Serve the LORD faithfully for the remainder of our life (Hebrews 12:1, 2; 2 Timothy 4:7, 8; Hebrews 10:32-39)
