Differing Opinions in the Church

Conflict in the church often centers on the differing opinions of the people within. Many times specifically over preferences. Join us today as we look at Romans 14:1 a further and take this discussion on a topic that it so essential to relationship within the church body (and within families and with our community members). May the Lord give supply grace and help us to imitate Christ as we interact with one another. “Harmony in Foggy Places” (Part #1) CCLI…

The Perfect Word of God

I am continually astounded by the timelessness of God’s Word. No matter the culture or time period, the Bible transcends though barriers and more to speak truth and life into the hearts and minds of people. Despite people calling it archaic and saying that much of what is written is for a different time, God’s truth remains unchanged and is for us just as much today as it was the day it was originally written. Thanks for watching! “When People…

Three Tibits on Opposition from Nehemiah 6

Opposition, trials, tribulations, sufferings are not stranger in the Christian life. God tells us that they are tools used to bring out the character of Christ in us as he draws the dross of sin off our lives. In Nehemiah 6, we see the opposition he & the Jews encountered from their enemies and with that three lessons we too can hold on too as we encounter spiritual opposition in our own lives. Thanks for watching!

Worship God with Your Life (Ezra-Nehemiah Vlog #2)

Worship. Mention that word and it conjures pictures and emotions and thoughts within the believer’s mind. Maybe it a song that brought you through a difficult situation. Maybe it was a moment that made you feel embraced by God. We often use the word as an adjective, but Scripture uses it as a verb. Let’s dive deeper into “worship” looking at Romans 12 today. “Worship: Start Here” (Ezra 2-3)

Progressive Christianity Tactics (GPS #16)

We introduced this past Sunday how deconstructionism and progressive Christianity are deconstructing the Bible & theology. Join us today we talk about the danger that presents particularly in the realm of interpretation. Thanks for watching! “Who are we to judge those who interpret the Bible differently?” by Alisa Childers & Rosaria Butterfield “Deconstructionism: Helpful or Hurtful? (Part #2)”

Addressing Redefined Words (GPS #15)

Of the several elements we talked about on Sunday, one of them was the redefinition of commonly used words in Christianity to something entirely other than their original definition and understanding. This tactic has been deceptive in progressive Christianity and lead to the deconstruction of people’s faith. We’re explore the redefinition of words further today with some steps to take and simple encouragements. God bless! “Deconstructionism: Helpful or Hurtful? (Part #2)”

The Word of God Remains Forever (GPS #12)

We’ll be covering the subject of deconstructionism on Sunday. As I have been preparing for that, the importance and centrality of the Word of God continues to be impressed upon me as well as it being timeless and transcending culture. I pray you’ll be encouraged by this simple words today as you think on the valuable riches you possess and hold in your hands–the Word of God.

Blood Libel? (GPS Vlog #12)

Ever hear of the term “blood libel?” I’m not sure I was familiar with it until this past Sunday during part #1 of a sermon here at GBC on antisemitism. In place of today’s vlog, here is a short video to give you some further explanation and background on it. Join us for part #2 on antisemitism this Sunday.

CHANGE IN LANGUAGE MEANS DESTRUCTION OF SCRIPTURE

I have been recently inundated with a number of articles and segments speaking about a desire to change the language of Scripture in reference to God. The proposal is to move from using the masculine “he” to refer to God (as we see in Scripture) to using the word “they.” It is a language shift being suggested in our schools as well. What significance would such a shift have on Scripture, beliefs, and the Christian faith? We’re exploring that today.…

GOD SAID (GENESIS 1)

We’re on vv. 3-5 today of Genesis 1. What a great set of verses this is and at the same time host to much debate. We’ll discuss that in part today and focus on two words that captured my attention as I read this text. Join us today as we journey through Genesis.

THE WAYS OF THE LORD ARE WISE NOT FOOLISH

I’ve heard it and seen it written various times that believing in the Lord and the ways prescribed in his Word are foolish. Interestingly, I was in Proverbs 3 today and Solomon writes in direct contrast to that. And we find it not only there but also in Ecclesiastes 12. In light of what our nation is celebrating this month, it is all the more a call to understand the wisdom of the Lord and of us to proclaim that…

SITUATION, TRANSFORMATION, TESTIMONY

The Equality Act is up for a vote in the House of Representatives tomorrow. I am grieved to see the disregard by our politicians for the effects this will have on our nation across the board. At the same time, I am also grieved to see the struggles of so many who are trying to find their purpose and identity apart from God. As I was thinking on this today, Paul’s words in Romans were on my mind – not…

BREATH & SAILBOATS

A couple of weeks ago as we began Ephesians on Sunday morning, we talked about knowing the basics of our faith. We’re starting today with some of those basics. If someone asked you today–“How do you know the Bible is true?”–how would you answer them? What texts would you go to? Could you provide an explanation? We need to be able to give a reasonable defense of our faith and that’s part of what we’re doing today. Let’s explore this…

ABOUT MORE THAN PROPHECY (REVELATION 2)

When people think of the book of Revelation, they often think of end times events and prophecy. Yet the book starts with letters to various churches, words from Jesus himself. And the content of these is much on practical Christian living & church body life. Revelation 2 NET
