In week five of our series in Systematic Theology, we consider the doctrine of sin. Though a weighty topic, we must understand it rightly and deal with it seriously. It not only impacts our relationship with God, but every other area of our life.

In week four of our series on Systematic Theology, we tackle anthropology: What is man? This is a question about origin, purpose, and identity that every human being asks. Here we go back to the beginning to see God's original intent for mankind.

In week three of our series on Systematic Theology, we consider Theology Proper: the doctrine of God. Though one sermon could never fully answer these questions, we'll consider who God is and what He is like.

In week two of our series on Systematic Theology, we look at the doctrine of Scripture. How are we to think, feel, and act rightly in regards to God's Word?

To introduce our series on Systematic Theology, we start with considering the subject of theology. What is about, who is for, and why does it matter?

It was an eventful year of ministry, and we want to celebrate God’s goodness to us! During this broadcast, we’ll hear from some of our leaders, review our six sermon series from 2023, and discover Pastor Andrew’s Top 10 Highlights of the year.

The fourth and final descriptive title for the Messiah in Isaiah 9:6 is Prince of Peace. What does this peace entail? And how do we live in light of it?

The fourth title given to the coming Messiah in Isaiah 9:6 is Everlasting Father. What does this tell us about Jesus? And how should it affect how we live?

The second description given to the Messiah in the prophecy of Isaiah 9:6 is Mighty God. What does this mean? And how do we live in light of it?

The first of four titles given to the coming Messiah in Isaiah 9:6 is Wonderful Counselor. What does it mean that Jesus was wonderful? Why is he called a counselor? And how do we live in light of this?

To close out this tremendous chapter, Paul wants us to have a deep certainty of God's love for us. The more we understand and internalize this truth, the more confidence we will have to live boldly and freely for Him. We can be assured that God will keep us until the very end.

The Christian life is one of realizing our weakness and need for help. When we are overwhelmed and feeling helpless, the Spirit helps us. The deep truths of Romans 8 provide us with eternal perspective and confidence in God's plan for our lives.

As we live in the Spirit, He doesn't leave us to deal with our struggle in our own strength. He enables us to endure suffering until He returns and ultimately delivers us.

Confidence in God's love for us affects how we live. This is one of the roles the Spirit plays in our life: to give us assurance of our right standing with God so we can live freely, boldly, and whole-heartedly for him.

The Holy Spirit is a gift to believers. His presence in us makes all the difference as we seek to live our lives for Him.

Many of us live under the constant voice of condemnation in our heads, whether from ourselves, others, or the enemy. One of the most powerful truths in Scripture is found in these first two verses of Romans: in Christ, we have justification and liberation.

The tenth and final word is not as open and public as the others, but is more hidden in the heart. The Lord is again looking for a more expansive obedience as he calls us away from coveting toward contentment.

As God established laws to help govern how humans are to relate to Him and to one another, He was laying the foundation for a just society. One thing we see in our justice system is that justice depends on truth. And at the heart of the ninth word is the necessity for truthful talk.

The eighth word is another simple four-word statement that goes beyond face value. Not only does it deal with our propensity to take what doesn't belong to us, but it points to our new creation identity as those who give and share.

In the seventh word, God speaks further into the relationships in the home by addressing husbands and wives. But as with the previous command, Jesus presses into our hearts and speaks to how we view not only marriage, but the marriage bed.

The sixth word is straightforward in prohibiting murder. But as all the commandments, it calls us to a deeper obedience. We are called to follow in the footsteps of our Savior as life-givers.

The fifth word transitions from giving instruction on how we relate to God to how we relate to others. Specifically, we are called to honor our father and mother. More broadly, we are called to honor those who are in authority over us.

The fourth word is not a prohibition; rather, it is instruction on how to observe the Sabbath. For us, it is all about finding rest in the Lord.

The third word prohibits the misuse of God's name, calling us instead to honor His name in how we speak and how we live.

The second word is closely related but distinct from the first word. With this word, God calls us away from worshiping a version of God that is anything less than God. It is a call to undiminished worship.
