Why the Bible Matters

Gospel Fluency in an Anxious and Angry Culture, Part 2

We continue in our short series looking at how the gospel shapes the way we understand and deal with the anxiety, anger, fear, and confusion we see in our culture. Today, we take a brief look at why we should be cautious with putting our trust in the political powers and why the gospel compels us to put our ultimate allegiance in Jesus the King.

Gospel Fluency in an Anxious and Angry Culture, Part 1

There's no doubt that we are living in an anxious and angry time. The anxiety and anger that we see is not only around us, but can also be within us. How do followers of Jesus battle against such emotions in stressful times? Over the next few weeks, we'll explore how the gospel frees us to live in faith, peace, and confidence. We must become gospel-fluent people who KNOW the gospel, APPLY the gospel, and SPEAK the gospel in every area of life, especially in our anxiety, anger, fear, and confusion.

Understanding the Story of God

The latest research data has shown that many people are leaving the church. Why is this? Over the next several weeks we're going to explore the idea that many people may be disengaging from the church because the church isn't equipping believers to truly follow Jesus. In other words, we have a discipleship problem.   In this episode, we give a brief summary of the six acts of God’s divine drama, the Bible, and explain why it’s important to know the overarching unity of Scripture.
