If God knows everything and is all-powerful and is sovereign over the universe, what is the point in praying? Isn’t God going to do what God is going to do no matter what? What possible role could we play? What possible difference could prayer make? This week we are going to dig into the answers to these questions and the answers may shock you!
Have you ever seen a WEIRD CHRISTIAN standing on a street corner, wearing a sign, and yelling into a loudspeaker? Why do people do that? Is that an effective evangelism strategy? Surely there has got to be a better way of getting the good news of Jesus out to people. Today we are going to discover there is a BETTER WAY of being spiritual without being weird… and it’s simpler than you may think!
Today, we’re going to discover another “certain sign” of biblical spirituality: living life with an “open heart”. Living with an “open heart” means living with the ongoing awareness that the Creator of the universe dwells within you. Living with an “open heart” is the most fascinating, unpredictable, spontaneous, world-changing way that a human life can possibly be lived. If you think we’re exaggerating, take 25 minutes to listen and see if you change your mind...
If the goal of a Christ-follower is to be empowered, directed, and transformed by God, what is the evidence that proves this? What does the lifestyle entail? And what does it look like to be spiritually mature? These are the questions we will be addressing in this message.
When a person tells you they are “spiritual”, what do you think they mean? What does a “spiritual” person look like? What does a “spiritual” person do? (And why are they often so weird?!!) In this week’s teaching we are going to learn what the biblical authors meant when they used the word “spiritual” (and you are likely going to be surprised!).
Jesus encourages us to not only understand the times but to “engage in the times” (Luke 12:54-56). Today, we will learn how to thrive in a modern-day Babylon and how to be resilient in our faith like Daniel did with King Nebuchadnezzar.
We have seen how the biblical writers described the Father and the Son, in this teaching we dig into how they described the Holy Spirit. Is the Holy Spirit a “force” or a “power” or is the Holy Spirit a “person?” And equally important, is the Holy Spirit referred to as “God?” We will discover the answers to these questions (and more!) in this final installment of this series on “The Trinity.”
This week we dive deep into “the incarnation”: the truth about the Second Person of the Trinity adding the nature of a human to His Divine nature. If Jesus was God, how could He “grow” in knowledge? If Jesus was God, how could He be tempted to sin? We will discover the answers!
During Week 2 we investigated what the Biblical writers meant when they taught we are “made in the image of God.” How do we resemble God? We looked at the Bible and what it teaches regarding “the Father.” Is the Father a person? Is the Father called “God?”
During Week 1 we took a quiz to reveal several FALSE views about the Trinity. We laid the groundwork by examining and comparing the 5 main views about God that exist in our world. We also learned a very basic (and understandable) explanation of the biblical concept of the Trinity.
