We in America, have often had a common foundation with those we wish reach with the gospel. But what about those who have never heard about or read the Bible?

We can learn a lot about God as we read the account of the burning bush in Exodus.

Since God is the source of life, then theology is life. No theology, no life.

Romans 12:17-21 shows us how we as Christians should have a gospel-heart attitude towards unbelievers.

Romans 12:14-16 talks about external actions that we should do as followers of Christ, but it's the internal motivations that are the true focus.

Romans 12:13 tells us more about how we should behave towards others in the church body, especially being open with each other and showing hospitality.

Our actions depend largely on our motives. And our motives are driven by our hearts and our desires.

As we apply the gospel to our lives, it will have an effect on our relations with others, including those within the church body.

How we think about the gospel has a large impact on how we respond to and interact with others.

In Romans 12, we are told that we are not to let the world (or this evil age) shape us. We are to let the Spirit shape us into His likeness by focusing on God's Word.

We take a close, in depth look, at Romans 12:1 to see how serving can be an important part of worship.

In the last four verses of Romans 11, Paul summarizes the last three chapters, which brings us to an attitude of worship.

As we look at the end of the 11th chapter of Romans, we take a closer look at Gods plan for salvation & some answers about Israel and the Church.

Spiritual pride is something we need to guard against on a daily basis. Having a reverent fear of God is one of the best ways to avoid it.

Today, we have special guest, prefield missionary Jason Alsum and family, They will be serving with North American Indigenous Missions to the people in Gold River, Vancouver Island, BC.

The best way to guard against spiritual pride is to realize that everything we have, including our "gifts" comes from God. God's grace kills spiritual pride.

Some people wonder about God's plan for Isreal, but His sovereign plan has always been gracious and in line with the gospel.

Some people like to say that God is done with Israel. But Romans 11 shows that there are some Jews that have hardened their heart, but there are also some that God has called and has chosen to be His.

Rick and Lisa Caynor give us an update on their missionary work in Spain and Europe.

Part of the idea of God's sovereignty is that He is faithful. What He plans will happen and we can trust that.

When we stop and realize that God is in total control, it impacts our daily lives and we can trust HIm.

God's plan is not based on Israel or the Church. God's plan is based on God. So what we do or what Israel does has no impact on God's plan.

Many people try to find excuses why they shouldn't or don't have to respond to the Gospel. Paul answer those excuses in Romans 10.

There are four steps to receiving the Gospel. 1) Obeying God, 2) Relying on God, 3) Surrendering to God and 4) Hearing Christ.

Light is very important. (Even AI agrees.) For our spiritual lives, the light of Christ is also important.
