We Suppress(ed) the Truth
The wrath of God is an often misinterpreted subject. On Sunday, from Romans 1:18-23, we gained a clearer picture of not only God’s wrath but why we deserved it. Today, we’re exploring the text a bit deeper seeing that Paul expressed our guilt six different times in the passage and what happens when we “exchange”. We using a more interactive format today that we trust will be beneficial. Thanks for watching. “An Unpopular Thought: God’s Wrath” (Rom 1:18-23)
Degrees of or Secondary Separation
On Sunday, we saw the Jews commitment to specific actions based upon hearing the Law. They understood the authority of God’s Word for their lives and as a matter of follow through committed to obedience. As we talked Sunday, obedience involves being both looking different and being set apart from the world. This week we’re looking at biblical and degrees of separation in light of our study of Nehemiah 10. Thanks for watching! “Because You…I Promise to…” (Neh 9-10) –…

WHO’S AT THE CENTER?
It makes a vast difference in the course of our lives in who we place at the center of it. And it affects our gospel witness as well. What am I talking about? Perhaps Philippians 2:14-15 will give you a clue. Developing this attitude is of such importance not only relationally, but for our witness as well.
HAVE YOU TALKED ABOUT GOD TODAY?

The psalmist in Psalm 105 calls us to tell the nations about God and proclaim before our world who he is. We have much to tell as we think about our life transformed, as we read the Word, as we bear witness to God’s creation. Who will you talk with today telling them about…
SITUATION, TRANSFORMATION, TESTIMONY
