Episodes

The Family of God

May 27, 2018 19:38 - 23 minutes - 33 MB

Tim Theule | 1 Thessalonians 5:14-15 | 05/27/2018 Paul wraps up his first letter to the Thessalonians with a series of reminders about what the family of God in the local church is and does together.  Fitting reminders for us at Grace Central Coast on a Baptism Sunday.

The Day of the Lord

May 20, 2018 18:17 - 37 minutes - 52.1 MB

Tim Theule | 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 | 05/20/2018 Is anyone today afraid of judgment?  The Thessalonians were.  Here Paul writes to assure them that, while judgment is definitely coming, it will not be their future, because Christ the judge died so that they might live together with Him.

The Coming of the Lord

May 13, 2018 18:08 - 35 minutes - 48.6 MB

Tim Theule | 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 | 05/13/2018 The coming of the Lord is meant to be a comfort for God's people, but too often it has become a subject for speculation and debate.  Here we continue our study of First Thessalonians with a look and exploration of all we learn about the coming of the Lord in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.  

Work as Love and Witness

May 06, 2018 19:43 - 42 minutes - 58.5 MB

Tim Theule | 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 | 05/06/2018 The Gospel applies to all of life. Here in 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12, the Apostle Paul reminds us that our work is an expression of both our love for one another and our witness to the world.

Sexual Holiness

April 29, 2018 19:51 - 42 minutes - 58.6 MB

Tim Theule | 1 Thessalonians 3:11-4:8 | 04/29/2018 The Bible is timelessly relevant!  We continue our Marks of a Missional Church series in the book of First Thessalonians with an exploration of Paul's call to sexual holiness.   Sex is one of God's good gifts, but because of the fall sex has been distorted, broken, misused and abused.  The Bible's teaching in this area was just as radical in the first century as it is in the 21st century.  

A Heart for God's People

April 22, 2018 19:52 - 45 minutes - 62.1 MB

A Heart for God's People Tim Theule | 1 Thessalonians 2:13-3.13 | 04/22/2018  

A Family on Mission

April 15, 2018 19:58 - 39 minutes - 55 MB

Ben Collins | 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 | 04/15/2018 What comes to mind when you read, 'Relationships'? It's likely a mix of dreams & difficulties, beauty & brokenness, hopes & hardships. But do you also think of relationships as transformational? Gospel-fueled relationships transformed Thessalonica and they can transform the Central Coast as well. 

Looking Upward, Outward and Forward

April 08, 2018 19:38 - 43 minutes - 59.6 MB

Tim Theule | 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 | 04/08/2018 We kick off our study of First Thessalonians with a look at the first chapter as Paul reminds this young church who they are in God and affirms how they are living for God.  We have much to learn from this missional church! 

A Living Hope

April 01, 2018 19:30 - 36 minutes - 50.1 MB

Tim Theule | 1 Peter 1:3-9 | 4/1/2018 Hope!  Our souls desperately need it and long for it.  The resurrection of Jesus is described in the Bible as a 'living hope.'  What does that mean? Why does it matter?  How can we get it?

Sola Scriptura and You

March 25, 2018 18:32 - 43 minutes - 59.5 MB

Tim Theule | 2 Timothy 3:1-5, 14-17 | 03/25/2018 We conclude our Sola Scriptura series with some super practical tips for how we can 'continue' in the Scriptures individually, in our families and as a church.

Is The Bible Enough For My Faith And Life?

March 19, 2018 18:00 - 40 minutes - 47 MB

Tim Theule | Hebrews 1:1-4 | 03/18/2018 How does God speak to people today?  Should we expect or look for other words from God beyond the Bible?  How does the Holy Spirit lead Christians today? What should we do with those who claim to hear a fresh 'Word from the Lord'?  All of these questions have to do with the sufficiency of Scripture, which is the next topic in our Sola Scriptura series.

Can We Know and Understand What the Bible Actually Teaches?

March 11, 2018 19:26 - 45 minutes - 62.5 MB

Tim Theule | Deuteronomy 30:11-20 | 3/11/2018  In an age of pluralism and relativism, there's lots of questions about if we can really know and understand what the Bible actually teaches.   In this next message in our Sola Scriptura series, we consider the CLARITY of Scripture and it's practical implications for our daily lives.

Are We Willing to Live Under the Authority of the Bible?

March 04, 2018 19:09 - 43 minutes - 59.7 MB

Tim Theule | Isaiah 40:6-8, 55:6-11, 66:1-2 | 03/04/2018 Authority is a bad word in today's world.  We've all been taught to 'Question Authority.'  Our autonomous individualism asserts that we are our own authority.   And yet the Bible claims an authoritative function in our lives.  In the Bible, God commands us to live in certain ways and to do and not do certain things.  We continue our Sola Scriptura series in this message with an exploration of the question 'Are We Willing to Live Unde...

Take It to the World

February 25, 2018 21:40 - 37 minutes - 52.2 MB

Ron Cline | John 4:27-37 | 2/25/2018 God is doing amazing things all around the world.  But, Jesus, sitting by a well, explains why we are not seeing them, and, tells us how we can make that happen.

Is the Bible True & Truly God's Word?

February 18, 2018 20:33 - 44 minutes - 60.9 MB

Is the Bible we Read What the Authors Actually Wrote?

February 11, 2018 19:27 - 47 minutes - 65 MB

Tim Theule | Jeremiah 36:1-8 | 2/11/2018 We continue our Sola Scriptura series with a look at the question 'Is the Bible we read the Bible that the authors actually wrote?'   Here we look at issues related to the translation and transmission of the Bible.

Why These Books of the Bible?

February 04, 2018 20:50 - 51 minutes - 41.3 MB

Tim Theule | 2 Peter 1:16-21, 3:1-3, 14-17 | 2/4/2018 We continue our Sola Scriptura series where we're exploring the reliability and authority of the Bible with a look at the question 'Why These Books of the Bible?'

January 28, 2018 22:25 - 8 minutes - 6.66 MB

Tim Theule | | 1/28/2018 Baptism Sundays are special Sundays at Grace Central Coast!  Baptism is the command of Jesus for all those who trust and follow Him!  Baptism is a vital step in a lifetime of Next Steps as we walk with Jesus through life.  Baptism is an opportunity for the whole church to remember and celebrate the Gospel. 

Is The Bible Historically Reliable?

January 21, 2018 19:47 - 41 minutes - 33.8 MB

Tim Theule | Luke 1:1-4 | 01/21/2018 Sola Scriptura is the conviction that only the Bible—because it is God’s inspired, inerrant Word—is our SUFFICIENT and FINAL authority.  Today we continue our Sola Scriptura series with a look at 'Is the Bible Historically Reliable?'
