Standing Up Under Pressure Series

Contributed by Allen Kemp on Feb 4, 2007

How believers can resist pressure from the outside and from within to compromise our theology and morals.

Intro-comparing the Ephesus church, orthodox but with out love, vs. Pergamum and Thyatira, compromise and tolerance. How do we feel when we Jesus described as “He who has the sharp, double-edged sword”? It’s a nice feeling if we know that Jesus is fighting for us against our enemies. And that he ...read more

Reverant, Yet Relevant

Contributed by Sam Peters on Mar 1, 2007

This message to a group of leaders and teachers exhorts us to reach out to the seeker without throwing out theology.

Reverent, Yet Relevant Text: Luke 14:16-23 I read that the average person is bombarded by 3000 advertisements everyday. From TV to radio and magazines to billboards, that’s probably a good estimate. All of that got me to thinking about the church and how we share the good news of Christ. We ...read more

The Story Of Grace Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Oct 11, 2015

Grace, something we talk about and preach about, but where do we get this theology of Grace?

For most of us, sometime over the next two days we will celebrate the Feast of the Dead Bird, better known by many as Thanksgiving Dinner. And as a part of that tradition at some point before we actually begin to consume food someone will ask “Uncle Bob would you return thanks?” or ...read more

Choose The Son Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 15, 2024

A prophecy from the Psalms forms the theology of our faith. What does it mean that Jesus is the Son of God?

A Jewish father sent his son to Israel for a year to experience his heritage. A year later the boy returns home and he told his father: "O Father, thank you for sending me to the land of our Fathers.

What Do You Crave? What Does God Crave? (James 4:1-10) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 5, 2022

The verses make best sense through non-Western eyes, in a non-Western church. So talked about an African church plant. Also, on how/when to ask God for money.

Today's passage, James 4:1-10, was a real struggle for me at first. These verses, read as a whole, read as a response to a specific problem within the church, really don't make sense within the context of Western, white, evangelical Christianity. The way we tend to view the church, and ...read more

The Passionate Pursuit Of Effective Prayer.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Sep 13, 2023

Psalm 3, presents another side of the biblical picture of faith in which the neat, tidy, well ordered theology of Psalm 1 and 2 gives way to a theology that allows for the realities of life– realities that include struggle, injustice, abuse, doubt, fear, and the testing of our faith.

The Passionate Pursuit Of Effective Prayer. Psalm 13:1-6 Jenny and I left our house early to be with our parents for Thanksgiving, 1996. As we left I noticed our next door neighbor’s silver van was parked in his driveway. My neighbor and I had gotten close. I didn’t know that he was a different ...read more

Cherry-Picking The Word Of God

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 8, 2025

We must approach the Bible without preconceived ideas. We should let it speak for itself. The Holy Spirit never contradicts Himself. If a scripture contradicts our theology, our theology is probably wrong. As Jesus said, "The scripture cannot be broken."

The Mediator

Contributed by C.j. Moffett on Sep 9, 2003

Is the full deity and humanity of Jesus simply an item of academic theology, or does it give human faith and redemption meaning?
