Which Shepherd Are You Choosing? (Pt. 2) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 19, 2022

This exposition of Zechariah 11:7-17 examines Zechariah's prediction of Christ's rejection at his First Advent and the consequences of that rejection. The timeless truth taught is: when the leadership God sends is rejected, the judgment that follows is bad leadership.

Intro We concluded last week with God instructing Zechariah to take on the role of a shepherd. Follow with me as we read Zechariah 11:4. “This is what the Lord my God says: ‘Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.”i That is the assignment God gives Zechariah. He is to represent the Lord as a good ...read more

Contributed by James Dina on Dec 28, 2021

Mapalad ang mga may tainga na nilinis, nilinis, at binuksan ng Panginoon upang marinig nito ang banal na tawag; ngunit walang pagpapala para sa Kristiyano na ang espirituwal na mga tainga ay hindi aktibo.

The Gospel Of John: An Introduction Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 31, 2021

Arguably with no other book, is there a larger disconnect between academic, scholarly understanding, and the way the church reads it. The intro is designed to bridge part of that gap, and explain my own approach to John.

First of all, a note on my approach: This series uses a literary/narrative approach to John, along the lines proposed by scholars like Adele Berlin, Frank Kermode, Robert Alter, or Charles Talbert, to name just a few. I assume that the author/narrator of John-- who I call "AJ"-- had ...read more

Love Well Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jan 7, 2022

It's Time For A Spiritual Tune Up - Genesis 15 Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jul 24, 2021

We have a time in Abraham’s life where he really needs to kind of get it back together.

Well over the last several weeks we’ve been looking at the life of Abraham. We followed Him as he left Ur and he went up to Haran and then came back down to Palestine. We tagged along with him as he went into Egypt where he lied and not so many good things there happened. But then he came back to ...read more

In Memoriam Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 29, 2021

Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, ...read more

Show Love, Not Favoritism (James 2:1-13) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on May 27, 2022

Favoritism is a tricky thing. But we need to copy God's example, in honoring the poor. Also, my first crack at unpacking "kingdom" in light of Scot McKnight's book Kingdom Conspiracy.

Let's start today by reading James 2:1-4: (1) My brothers, don't, with partiality, hold the faith of our glorious Lord, Jesus Christ. ["w/partiality" =focused] (2) For suppose someone should enter your assembly with a gold ring on his finger, with fine clothing. Now, also a ...read more

The Church Of The Open Door

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 25, 2025

There’s no perfect church. Jesus commends a faithful church—Philadelphia—for keeping His Word and not denying His name. The question for us: not “Are we perfect?” but “Are we faithful?”

Have you ever heard this expression before? “If you’re looking for the perfect church, and you find it – if you find the perfect church – well you better not join it because it won’t be perfect anymore.” I love this. And the reason is because no one is perfect, right? There’s no such thing as a ...read more
