Last Things First: The Last Word on the Church

The Person, the Problem, and the Goal — Formation Lab Week 2

To truly care for something, you have to understand it. In this episode of Formation Lab, Meshach walks through Dallas Willard's model of the human person — spirit, mind, body, social dimension, and soul — and explores why sin is harder to shake than we think. The problem isn't effort. It's that we've been working with an incomplete picture of what a human being actually is. If you've ever wondered why you keep running into the same walls in your spiritual life, this one is for you. Formation Lab is a four-week series from Northminster Presbyterian Church exploring what it means to be an apprentice of Jesus — not just a believer.

The Kingdom of God — Formation Lab Week 1

Most of us grew up with a gospel built around one question: If you die tonight, where will you spend eternity? It's not a bad question. But the better question is, what if you wake up tomorrow morning? What does your gospel say then? In this session, we explore the gospel Jesus actually preached — the Kingdom of God. What it is, what it's like, and what it means that it's available now. Formation Lab is a four-week course from Northminster Presbyterian Church on what it means to be an apprentice of Jesus — not just a believer.

Last Things First: The Last Word on New Creation

Revelation closes with a tale of two cities. Babylon — the city of human achievement — lies in a pile of dust and ashes. The New Jerusalem — the city of God — descends as a gift from God. The enduring vision of both calls all of God's people to arrange their lives in light of the end of both cities. Resist Babylon, embrace the New Jerusalem. Revelation 21-22
