Driving Out Canaan | When Sin is Persistent

Driving Out Canaan | When Sin is Persistent

In this episode we are taking an important lesson from the book of Judges. Several times in the early part of Judges we are told about many of the tribes inability to drive out the people of Canaan the way God told them to. What we learn is that sin is a lot like the Canaanites we read about in Judges. Sin is persistent and often refuses to leave. What can I do to keep myself from repeating the mistakes of the Israelites and drive sin out of my life once and for all? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Cross of Christ | Profound Truths

In this episode we discuss the importance of seeing the depth of the cross of Christ. Many people think to take the Lord’s Supper each first day of the week would cause someone to see the crucifixion of Jesus as just another part of our life. However, the consistent reflecting and dwelling on the cross causes a person to gain a deeper appreciation for Jesus and his sacrifice. In John’s writings there are several sections that give us the ability to gain better insight to the purpose of the cross.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Early Christian Writers | Should I Listen to Them?

In this episode we are talking about some of the writings that took place in the 1st and 2nd centuries. More specifically, Christian writers who talked about Scripture and the church in that day. Many assume that because those writers existed so closely to the days of the apostles and the first Christians, that their writings carry some kind of authority or weight. Is this the case? Or is there another way to view these writings from early Christians? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Proclamation of Christ | Unashamed Preaching

In this episode we are in the book of 1 John. In this unique letter we learn how John reflects on his experience with Jesus. What John saw and experienced changed him in an irreversible way. When we consider the fact that Jesus reveals to us who God is and what his word is, it should change us too. Additionally, we will discuss why John starts this epistle off in a way that is so different than the other letters we find in the New Testament. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
