From the ancient creeds of the early church to the formal confessions of the protestant reformation, we have seen that throughout her existence the Church has always had people within who ...read more

    The Great Mystery: the Church is the Bride of Christ (Eph. 5:25-32) Human sexuality with all its extraordinary complexity, romantic mystery, and reproductive miracles is totally unexplainable by any of the theories of evolution. So why does this scientifically inexplicable marvel of human ...read more

    Part 8, the final part of this series, explores Christian worship as it existed in the first century and what it portended for Christians in later generations.

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making. About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years. As I sometimes do, I kept my notes all along the way, and this series of classes is to a ...read more

    we need to resist the pressures of our culture to conform unthinkingly to the status quo and to compromise on the major principles of our faith. We need to recover the radical edge of Jesus’ teaching, that turns the values of the world upside down.

    It’s interesting how we can go from the two letters we saw last week where one church thought they were alive and were actually dead and another thought they were as good as dead but actually had plenty of life in them, to the final letter of the seven where the church is neither one thing nor the ...read more
