When Israel conquered Jericho, God commanded them not to take any of the spoil of the city--it was all to be devoted to God. But a certain Israelite named Achan stole from the devoted things, and as a result, Israel lost their next battle, and they were forced to reckon with the sinful man among them. In today's message, Pastor John teaches from Joshua 7 how Achan's response to his own sin models...

In today's message, Caleb Bryant preaches from Joshua 5 and 6, which tells of Israel obeying God in taking on the covenant sign of circumcision, and then in the destruction of Jericho. From these passages, we can see that it is God who fights our battles, and that God wants us to have an obedient heart.

In today's message, Pastor Andy teaches us about the faith Israel needed to demonstrate in order to walk across the Jordan on their way to Jericho, and the value of remembering God's acts of goodness and faithfulness to us.

In today's message, Pastor Phil explores the structure of the book of Joshua, and the Biblical background leading up to it. Each of us is asked to consider, do I believe in the promises of God, and am I walking in the promises of God?

Jarrod Swartz teaches from the book of Joshua, Chapter 1 for Student Celebration Sunday. As Joshua prepares to lead the nation of Israel into the Promised Land, God promises to be with him wherever he goes. So, too, God has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. We know that when we face changes, we never face them alone.

At the end of his letter to Timothy, Paul gives instruction to "guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith." In today's message, Pastor Phil reminds us that we need to guard the truth, pursue godliness, and persevere with eternity in vie...

1 Timothy 6:10 tells us that "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." Recognizing that to be true, we are called to ask ourselves, "do I love money?" In today's message, Pastor Phil teaches us what 1 Timothy 6 has to say about navigating through times of wealth and times of need. Scripture encourages us towards contentment, generosity, and good deeds.

In 1 Timothy 6, Paul gives instructions for slaves, telling them to respect their masters, and to take care to respect their masters who are fellow believers. This passage of scripture surprises us, because we recognize slavery as a moral wrong, and Paul's instructions do not take aim at slavery as an institution. But in today's message, as we humbly study and listen to the wisdom of scripture, Pa...

In 1 Timothy 5, Paul gives Timothy instruction for how elders are to be treated in the church. In today's message, Pastor Phil studies this passage to show that healthy churches care for their leaders, and healthy leaders protect the church.

In 1 Timothy chapter 5, Paul lays out instructions for taking care of widows among the church body, and for how Timothy should conduct himself among the different members of the church. In today's message, Pastor John shows us that the way we view others influences how we treat them, and teaches us about the duty that families have to take care of their parents.

What is more important: how you live, or what you believe? In today's message, Pastor Phil teaches through 1 Timothy 4:11-16, and shows us that our lives should reflect our beliefs; we can not follow God without Biblical doctrine, neither without godly living.

In 1 Timothy 4:1, we read, "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith..." In today's message, Pastor John teaches us how to have a faith that sticks: guard your conscience, eat a healthy diet of God's word, exercise for godliness, and embrace the right hope.

In the conclusion to our study of the roles of men and women, Pastor Phil teaches on how we can apply the principles of scripture regarding church conduct to the context of what church looks like today. We are reminded to pursue unity, and that our unity as a church is centered on the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

On Easter, we rejoice that our Savior Jesus Christ is alive! In today's message, Pastor Phil preaches on the living hope found in Jesus. Through Jesus, we have strength in adversity, freedom from sin, and hopeful expectation for the future.

In the original Greek of 1 Timothy Chapter 3, in verse 11, we encounter a word which presents some difficulty in translation, speaking either about the wives of deacons, or about women who are deacons. In today's message, Pastor Phil studies a number of good reasons given for both possible translations, and teaches that, as a principle, we learn from this verse that women can do diaconal work.

In 1 Timothy Chapter 3, Paul lays out the necessary qualifications for an elder in the church. In today's message, Pastor Phil reviews these qualifications, shows how the text points to the role of elder being reserved for men in the church, and answers common objections to the complementarian understanding of this passage.

In today's message, Pastor Phil teaches on the scriptural commands found in 1 Timothy, Chapter 2, and studies the question of whether scripture allows for women to preach in the church.

In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul gives instruction to the church in Corinth on how to keep order during the service. In today's message, Pastor John explores these commands, including the command for women in the church to keep silent, in the context of the interpretation of prophecy.

In 1 Corinthians 11, we read a command in scripture for women in church to wear head coverings, and for men to have their head uncovered. This reads like direct instruction, and indeed, there are believing women today who wear head coverings--and Christian denominations and communities who affirm the same practice. And yet, we look around today and we recognize that even in church, this is no long...

In 1 Timothy 2:8-10, scripture instructs men to pray with holy hands, and for women to adorn themselves with good deeds. In today's message, Pastor Phil studies the call to men for holiness and the call to women for modesty. We are called to consider again the gravity of our sin, and the beauty of the Gospel.

In Ephesians 5, as the Bible tells us to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ, wives are told to submit themselves to their husbands, "as to the Lord." In today's message, Pastor John shows how for both husbands and wives, our own hopes, dreams and desires can become expectations that we demand from our spouse. But our Biblical pattern is to think of our spouse's needs above our own....

In Ephesians 5, as the Bible tells us to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ, husbands are told to love their wives, "just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." In this message on the husband's call to loving leadership, Pastor Phil studies what men are called to do: to love their wives, serve their wives, to lead, and not to hate. Pastor Phil encourages us that in...

Today we address 7 questions 00:45 1. How do you know when to apply culture as a reason to approve or disagree with the statement and when do you say it is not a culture implied statement? Is there criteria that you use to agree with some things and disagree with others? 15:53 2. Can women share (not preach) in the service? 18:02 3. Do you feel like women are suppressing some of their skills becau...

In the creation account and the story of the fall in Genesis 2 and 3, we see indications of God's design for men and women, and how we can fail to live according to that design. As we study the story of Adam and Eve, we are reminded that salvation for mankind has come through Jesus Christ.
