Faith & Fable

Today we're providing an overview of church government.

Today we're talking about revival.

We're talking about giving: what the Bible says about it and our philosophy on it.

We're doing a quick survey of the various elements of a typical church service. What sort of things should you expect to see when the local church assembles?

We're talking about the proper biblical context and application to the idea of "dying to self."

We're talking about the three-fold purpose of the Church.

We're picking back up with the sin of impatience; addressing two more principles for fighting impatience.

We're examining the issue of when the Church began, and the vitally related issue of the relationship between the Church and Israel.

We're talking about impatience, a pervasive sin in the age of 1-click, instant gratification.

We're concluding our series related to Social Justice, Critical Race Theory, and BLM by shedding a final biblical light on the police, riots, and "justice."

The idea of what the church actually is has changed over the centuries. We're giving a broad outline of how the Reformation affects us, and how we view what the Church is; specifically from Calvin's and the Anabaptist's views.

We're talking about Matthew 18.

The idea of what the church actually is has changed over the centuries. We're giving a broad outline of how the Reformation affects us, and how we view what the Church is; specifically from Luther's and Zwingli's views.

We're exegeting this commonly mis-translated, and therefore misinterpreted text.

We're talking about church terms. Buckle up!

We're talking about the education system.

We're talking about the doctrine of the church, biblically; a doctrine often complicated by various theologies.

Jeremiah 29:11 is a popular verse to use out of context, and it is a popular one to debunk. We are going to debunk how it is commonly used.

Today we're reviewing the book Woke Church by Eric Mason.

Today we're talking about the ministries of the Holy Spirit within the church.

We are starting our review of books related to Social Justice, Critical Race Theory, and the Woke Church movement with Jamar Tisby's "The Color of Compromise"

We're continuing our discussion on the Holy Spirit, specifically His work in the lives of unbelievers.

We continue on with the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, and specifically, we plan to begin by talking about the Holy Spirit and Pentecost.

We continue on with the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, and specifically, we plan to begin by talking about the relationship between Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

We're tackling the Black Lives Matter movement from ground zero: Kenosha, Wisconsin.

We are discussing the role of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament.

We continue into the sordid mess called Social Justice that is sweeping our nation with a talk on Systemic Racism.

We continue our discussion of the Holy Spirit; specifically, His personality traits.

We are now fully immersed in the whole battle and debate surrounding the United States. We're focusing on the idea of what is called “social” justice as opposed to justice.

We begin Systematic Theology III, and specifically, the doctrine of the Holy Spirit.

We jump off into the whole social justice movement today with a brief examination of one of the driving theories behind or underneath it all. The theory of Critical Race. Fun stuff.

We're finishing up our Systematic Theology II with a discussion on assurance and eternal security.

We're introducing our plan to speak into the conversation about Social Justice, as it relates to the church.

Sanctification is a vital part of the Christian life. Many are talking today about conversion, and “coming to Jesus,” but not many pastors talk much about sanctification.

We are carefully dipping our proverbial toes into the boiling waters of Social Justice in this new series; starting with a discussion on voting.

There are many who think you merely need to conform to certain behaviors of a church culture, and when they do this, they think it is evidence they have been truly saved. However, true Christianity necessitates true sanctification.

This is a small foray into a much bigger and complex topic related to the popular cries for social justice.

There is bad thinking out there as to what it means to be converted; in other words: what a saved Christian truly is, and supposed to do.

We're picking it back up with a few more observations about the value and necessity of self-control in the life of a Christian.

We're going through the OT and NT terms for these very important aspects of the doctrine of salvation.

We're making several observations about the value and necessity of self-control in the life of a Christian.

We're talking about Faith - the instrument through which justification is appropriated.

We continue our talk on procrastination with a look at the more serious consequences resulting from this type of lack of self-control. (Joined by a couple special guests.)

What should the Church's responsibility be regarding protests, riots, and racism?

It is hard to finish things well. Sometimes, though, we never even finish. To put it bluntly, it is the sin of procrastination. And yes, it is a sin.

We're talking justification. "[It is] the legal change from a state of guilt and condemnation to a state of forgiveness and acceptance; and this change is owing solely to a gratuitous act of God..." - A.W. Pink

Self-control is core issue for many Christians; affecting relationships, marriages, households, finances, etc. Beginning new things is very easy to do, but ending well isn't so easy.

We're giving a brief synopsis of these rather large topics in the doctrine of salvation.
