When it comes to salvation, what is my role? What is God's? Come explore Romans 9-11 and see the wonder of God's sovereignty and our own call to action. It will lead you to worship and praise!

When Jesus came he turned every expectation upside down. Come learn the freedom, joy, and salvation that is found in Jesus' upside down kingdom!

Materialism and entitlement have led many of us down a path of discontentment. In this key text, Paul reminds Timothy that the greatest acquisition in this life is godliness with contentment, and exhorts Timothy (and us) to avoid the dangers of the love of money and to pursue contentment in what Christ has given us. 

David has great plans to build a temple for God, but God tells him no. His dilemma is true for us as well: we all make plans, and God at torpedoes those plans. Let's learn together how to respond when God calls us to give up our plans to enter into His greater plan. 

John Dryden said "We first make our habits, and then our habits make us." Therefore, the goal is to intentionally make habits that form us into Christ's image. Join us as we consider the 9 habits of the intentional Christian life.

Singleness is a hot topic in Christian culture, and a season that many Christians understandably struggle with. But Paul teaches us that every Christian has a God-glorifying purpose, and the path of biblical singleness is a gift that must not be wasted because it affords a better opportunity than marriage to cultivate undivided devotion to God. Join us as we examine Paul's call to value present un...

We often find ourselves waiting for something in life. Yet seasons of waiting can often leave us frustrated or disappointed. How, then, can we learn to wait well? As we look at Psalm 37 and other places in Scripture, we see the fact of waiting, the dangers of waiting, and hope in waiting. 

Our morning and evenings are full of habits, intentional and unintentional. Is the Lord part of your evening rhythm? Come learn from Psalm 4 the ancient evening practices of communing with the Lord.

 The problems of life can lead us to lament. David lets his lament lead him to the throne, where he is reminded that salvation belongs to our God.

There is only one King and it’s King Jesus. Psalm 2 reminds us of the foolishness of crowning ourselves king, the expected posture of honor and reverence to King Jesus, and the expectation that all people submit their lives to the true King of Kings.

The very first Psalm confronts us with the fact that every human being is on one of two paths: the path of the righteous resulting in life, or the path of the unrighteous resulting in destruction. The path of the righteous is marked by wise living, and so we see what a wise person is to avoid, what a wise person is to do, and what a wise person is.  Scripture: Psalms 1

Paul expects every believer to trust the gospel of Jesus Christ, live the gospel, and share the gospel. Together we demystify evangelism by explaining the basics of the gospel presentation so that every believer can be confident to explain the saving truth of Jesus. A Q&A session with Adam and Joel is at the end of this episode.

Perhaps the most terrifying words one could hear are "Depart from me I never knew you." We may profess to follow Jesus, but how do we know if our faith is genuine? Paul lays out the marks of true religion in his closing words to the Galatian church. Be reminded what true faith looks like!

Paul expects that our freedom in Christ leads to loving God and loving others. But loving others is a risk and requires us to jump into the mess of life. Risky love restores sinners, bears burdens, and shares sacrificially. Are you willing to risk loving others for the glory of God?

Christians ought to be different from the world because only true Christians can bear fruit from God. As we obey the command to walk in the Spirit, let's examine the fruits of the Spirit that should be increasing in our lives.

 Paul gives one of the most important commands in the entire Christian life: Walk in the Spirit. To understand better why and how we do that, we unpack five key words to help us live by the Spirit – Motivation, Source, Battle, Contrast, and Consistency.

Come and learn from Jesus' disciples who struggled (as we do) to remember six key things that should be at the forefront of our lives: Value, Mission, Vision, Time, Place, and Salvation. 

As Americans we think we are freedom experts, but we have much to learn. True and biblical freedom is freedom from self-saving and is not about freedom to follow our desires. Come learn about true freedom and the freedom to love others. 

Paul uses the story of Sarah and Hagar to illustrate two different ways of approaching religion: human effort vs. divine grace. His Jewish opponents were confident that they were in the correct lineage of Abraham. But Paul demonstrates that they are actually in the line of Hagar, and thus the line of slavery. He challenges the Galatians, and us, who are in the line of Isaac, not to turn back to th...

God has adopted us into his family. Why would we want to go back to slavery and reject our Father and our family in Christ? Explore Galatians 4 to learn the secret of resting in God rather than fighting for control. 

Many Christians lack assurance of salvation, not because they doubt the power of God, but because they doubt whether that power has saved them. Come and see how the Son came to make many sons, and how the power of adoption provides a basis for biblical assurance.

We say things like the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. The gospel is central. But have we stopped to consider? What is the gospel precisely? Is it the resurrection? Substitutionary atonement? Baptism? What is included? What isn’t necessary? Come find out!

In a world filled with broken relationships, believers are called to embrace oneness by recognizing our need, receiving the gifts of salvation, and walking in the unity created by Christ.

What role does the law play in salvation? How does the law compare to faith? Join us as Paul reveals the limits of the law and brings us to an emphatic conclusion: that faith and promise are superior to the law in every single way. 

We become a Christian through the gospel, but are we then done with it? Do we need to focus on our effort now? Is the Christian life the gospel from beginning to end? Come explore Galatians 3 and the gospel defended from beginning to end.
