Flagstone Church of Christ

Our actions (or sometimes our inaction) can make an impact not just in our own lives but in our communities as well. Jesus calls us to be "light" and to try to make a difference in the communities in which we live. But before we can make a significant impact in the lives of those around us, there are some actions we're going to have to take first. ______________________________________ Welcome / P...

FAQ SHORT: Are the Jewish people still considered to be "God's chosen people"? // When God entered into history he chose one family, the family of Abraham, to be his people; His holy and treasured possession in history. (Pretty cool, huh?) So... Where does that leave us? Are the Jewish people still God's exclusive possession? Are we as Christians excluded from this beautiful relationship? Marshall...

WHY DOES BAPTISM MATTER? (PT. 2) // Wednesday Night Unscripted // October 28, 2020 // In a follow up discussion on Baptism from last week, Marshall and Brandon work through the often talked about topics revolving around Baptism: What does the Bible describe baptism to be in form and mode? What are the differences between infant baptism and sprinkling verses full-emersion baptism? What if I felt li...

There are times when we feel really close to God, when we seem to actually sense His presence around us. And there are times when we feel really distant from God as well. It's not that we completely lose our faith, but our connection to God feels routine and mundane and...well...stagnant. What do we do when we feel like our connection to God feels dull? What do we do when we feel stuck with a stag...

WHY DOES BAPTISM MATTER (PT. 1) // Wednesday Night Unscripted // October 21, 2020 // Baptism is the Christian practice of submerging an individual in water for repentance and forgiveness of sins and signifies a new life with Jesus Christ at the helm. A new eternal life with Jesus at the focus while we lay flowers at the casket of the old self. Pretty cool huh? So how did this come to be? And if al...

FAQ SHORT: If God made the world in it's entirity filled with many people and places, why does the Bible only focus on the people and area of the Mediterranean? // Jesus came to be the savior of the world so why do we not hear more about "the whole world" in the Bible? It seems that there is no mention of anything other than the areas that surround the Mediterranean Sea, so how can the Bible and t...

In this FAQ Short, Marshall takes a look at an often misunderstood verse in 2 Corinthians 6:14 about being "yoked" with unbelievers. Could this verse be pointing to something more broad than just marriage? Marshall expounds on this passage and more in just 4 minutes!

What Bible Translation should I use? There are so many to choose from!

Original Question: Why do believers only offer the New Testament to New Christians? Are we trying to hide the facts of what happened before Jesus?

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE IN POLITICS JUST GET ALONG? // Wednesday Night Unscripted // October 14, 2020 // Every election people seem to get discouraged with that they see on the media, online, and even hear from their friends and family. Why does there have to be so much division in our lives especially in the realm of politics? Why doesn't God do something to fix that? // In this episode of Unscripted, M...

(Gen 4:16) If Adam and Eve were the first humans, where is this “land of Nod, East of Eden” and how did those people get there?

"Nothing seems to be happening." "It feels like the same thing day after day." "I can't seem to move forward." "I feel like I'm in a rut." Ever make any statements like these? It happens to all of us from time to time. We can't seem to get any traction. Things aren't necessarily bad, but they're not getting any better either. We feel like we repeat the same routine day after day. We just feel...we...

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DIFFERENT CHRISTIAN CHURCHES? // WEDNESDAY NIGHT UNSCRIPTED //  // September 30, 2020 // Driving down the road, many of us pass multiple church buildings with differnt names, symbols and building styles.

IS GOD INCONSISTENT WITH CONSEQUENCES AND FREE WILL? // WEDNESDAY NIGHT UNSCRIPTED//  September 23, 2020 // Tonight we're answering two FAQ's: 1. Why did God wait so long to give consequences (like the 150 years in between Isaiah's prophecy for destruction and Babylon's actual destruction of Israel) and 2. If there is free will, why are people "redirected" in the Bible to do as the Lord says...

Is it over when it's over? Is there anything else after this?" We often find ourselves wondering what happens when we die, if anything happens at all. In this lesson from our FAQ's series, we celebrate the promise of Jesus that the end of me is not really the end of me. ---------------- 00:00 Welcome / Prayer 03:31 “Heaven Is in My Heart” 04:47 “Victory Chant” 06:56 “On Zion’s Glorious Summit” 10:...

HOW CAN I KNOW THAT I AM GOING TO HEAVEN? // WEDNESDAY NIGHT UNSCRIPTED // September 16, 2020 // When asked the point-blank question "If you died today, would you go to heaven?" many Christians feel a sense of doubt and unease. We know we haven't lived up to God's expectations, continue to fail Him, and aren't sure if our "good-things" outnumber the "bad-things". Is there a way that we can know? /...

In one of Jesus' last conversations with His disciples he said the alarming statement: "In this world you WILL have trouble." (John 16) In this life it looks like pain is certain, so how can we balance an ultimately good God with the messed up world around us? And how can wrestling with this question and Biblical Lament bring peace and hope into our lives in a way it hasn't been before? ----------...

WHY DOESN'T GOD ANSWER MY PRAYERS? // WEDNESDAY NIGHT UNSCRIPTED //September 2, 2020 // Last week Marshall and Brandon walked us through the theological looks of prayer: If God knows everything already, and humans have free will, what is the point of praying? Do our prayers make a difference? DO our prayers do ANYTHING? THIS WEEK, we're looking at the practical side of things: I know that God hear...
