Reflecting God’s Inexpressible Gift
God has set the ultimate example of selfless and sacrificial giving that should be diligently followed by all of his disciples – especially at Christmastime.
Apologetics Q & A
In this final session of Apologetics, Pastor Mike takes questions on the series.
When Our Light Shines in the Darkness
We must always remember that the biblical Jesus is an offense to the world so that we can remain joyful and resolute when our alliance and loyalty to him cause conflicts with non-Christians.
Christianity the Only Way?
With so many religions out there, how can you say Christianity is the only way to God?
Trusting God When You’re Hurting
Before, during, and after we reach out to utilize any of God’s gracious gifts to alleviate our pain or extend our lives, we must keep our hope, trust, and faith squarely in the God who sustains all things.
Evil in the World Cont’d
If God is a good and loving God, why is there evil, pain and suffering in the world?
Trusting God When You’re Scared
Fear, worry, and anxiety for the Christian is sinful and illogical because we have an omnipotent Father who is willing and able to strongly support us when we put our confidence in him.
Evil in the World
If God is a good and loving God, why is there evil, pain and suffering in the world?
The Unrivaled Fellowship of His Church
Even with all its current imperfections, Christ’s Church is a unique institution which provides God’s people with unrivaled fellowship, support, protection, joy, and love.
The Life-Changing Message of His Church
We have the great privilege of being the agents of God’s powerful saving gospel which convicts hearts, transforms minds, and integrates people into the life of the Church.
The Invincible Lord of His Church
The Church should always and forever be about Christ – devoted to his teachings, confident in his sovereignty, hoping to share in his resurrection, and striving to be obedient to his commands.
The Prophetic Anticipation of His Church
We can derive strength, courage, and perspective from God’s longstanding and indomitable plan to build his Church in preparation of the establishment of his coming kingdom on earth.
Did the Resurrection Happen?
How can we trust that the resurrection really happened and what does that mean to the biblical message of salvation?
The Miraculous Launch of His Church
The supernatural launch of God’s Church should provide us with a sense of privilege for our inclusion in it, as well as motivating us to drive toward the completion of his work in filling it, both here and abroad.
Coached by the Right Leaders
We must value, appreciate, and seek good and godly leadership in our church and lives knowing that human leaders are God’s sanctioned instruments for our protection, correction, and direction.
Unfazed by Sovereign Challenges
In the work of reaching people with the gospel we should expect painful betrayals and apostasies, but we should never lose heart, knowing God is working through us to advance his kingdom just as he planned.
Praying for Progress
Prayer must be a foundational practice when we consider our required participation in the great commission, knowing that successful evangelism is the Holy’s Spirit’s work from beginning to end.
Urgent Till Christ Returns
Our efforts to reach people with the gospel should be urgent because the Christ who commanded us to do so has preeminent authority and has promised to imminently return which will end all of our evangelistic opportunities.
Why Study Apologetics?
Why is important for Christians to understand what apologetics is and study it?
Serious About Our Assignment
We must purpose play a significant part in God’s “new covenant” plan to be empowered by his Spirit and take the message of forgiveness and Christ’s dominion to everyone around us.
Confident in Our King
God expects us to be fully confident in Christ and his ongoing work through us in this world, which we should be assured will culminate in his return and the establishment of his kingdom.
Purpose Fulfilled
We should boldly, confidently, and prayerfully trust God is working out a good plan in utilizing our lives in a specific way for his glory regardless of how daunting the opposition might be.
