Ed Willoughby

I am the proud husband of Diane and father of two wonderful daughters. I serve as the Lead Pastor at Fellowship Baptist Church in Joplin, MO.  I am passionate about the gospel of Jesus Christ and discipling the next generations. I also enjoy visiting our National Parks with my family, reading stories from U.S. history, and cheering on the Arkansas Razorbacks.

NCC 29 – How Can We Be Saved?

by Ed Willoughby on July 14, 2019August 11, 2022

by Ed Willoughby on June 16, 2019August 11, 2022

Yes, because Christ’s death on the cross fully paid the penalty for our sin, God graciously imputes Christ’s righteousness to us as if it were our own and will remember our sins no more.

NCC 24 – Why Was It Necessary for Christ, the Redeemer, to Die?

by Ed Willoughby on June 9, 2019August 11, 2022

Since death is the punishment for sin, Christ died willingly in our place to deliver us from the power and penalty of sin and bring us back to God. By his substitutionary atoning death, he alone redeems us from hell and gains for us forgiveness of sin, righteousness, and everlasting life.
