The Fruit: Growing in Character - A Study of Galatians: The Roots of Freedom
June 08, 2021 18:03 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MBIn our summer series, we consider what Galatians 5 teaches about growing in Christian character. While salvation is a finished work of Christ for those who trust in Him, there is also an ongoing work of the Holy Spirit called sanctification. Through the Spirit’s work in us, we better reflect the character of Jesus. Join us as we consider what it means to grow in Christian character through the growth of the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. This week, we consider The Roots of Freedom...
The Resurrection & Everyday Life: The Resurrection & Alternative Worldviews (Common Grace)
June 01, 2021 16:41 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MBGod blesses the just and unjust. In the reformed tradition, this blessing is known as “common grace.” The same rain that falls on the faithful also falls on the unfaithful. The same capacity to reason and think given to the faithful is given to the faithless. Thus, Christians have the opportunity to learn from a wide variety of perspectives and worldviews without compromising central claims of the Christian faith. Why? The resurrection. If the resurrection occurred, we can be confide...
The Resurrection & Everyday Life: The Resurrection & The Environment
May 25, 2021 14:37 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MBGod created humanity with a charge to care for his creation. We were given dominion over it to steward it well. If the resurrection of Jesus occurred, we are then heading toward restored creation. As his people, we ought to be those who reflect that coming day by giving a glimpse of that restoration. If the resurrection did not occur, then the Earth is nothing more than a ticking time bomb. Scripture Reading (Tagalog): Genesis 1:26-31, Revelation 21:1-5 Every week you can also go to...
The Resurrection & Everyday Life: The Resurrection & Diversity
May 19, 2021 15:16 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBDiversity is the ultimate telos for all Christians. God’s purpose is to bring together people from every tribe, nation, and tongue. The church then should care about the pursuits of diversity now. Yet, as Revelation 5 & 7 tells us, at the center of the heavenly diversity is a slain lamb. Diversity comes at a cost, a cost many are not usually willing to pay. If the resurrection did not take place, none of that diversity matters. If the resurrection did occur, the power for true divers...
The Resurrection & Everyday Life: The Resurrection & Sex
May 11, 2021 15:32 - 40 minutes - 36.8 MBWe live in a time of great uncertainty and confusion regarding how one ought to understand the nature of sex and sexual identity. Amid this confusion, the church has often lacked grace and compassion or lacked clarity and truth. The Bible has much clarity and truth about sex and demands we present that truth with grace and compassion. We can do both for one reason––the Resurrection. Without the resurrection, the Christian sex ethic is absurd. Scripture Reading: Genesis 1:27-28, Gene...
The Resurrection & Everyday Life: The Resurrection & Innocent Suffering
May 03, 2021 16:17 - 38 minutes - 35 MBThe world is full of suffering. There is suffering that comes at one’s hand, but there is much suffering, unspeakable suffering, that no one deserves. The Christian faith claims a God of compassion and mercy, yet every day terrible tragedy befalls in the innocent. If the resurrection did not happen, this reality would be cause to dismiss the God of the Bible, for he is cruel and apathetic to our plight. If the resurrection did happen, there are meaning and purpose in suffering that w...
The Resurrection & Everyday Life: The Resurrection & Un-Christlike Christians
April 27, 2021 14:40 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBWhat should we do when Christians claim to believe one thing, but their lives and actions reflect another? Does it undermine the credibility of the Christian message when Christians are so un-Christlike? If the resurrection did not happen. Yes. The un-Christlike Christians show the ridiculous claims of the faith. If the resurrection did happen, then more is happening than meets the eye in these Christians’ failure. Scripture Reading: Galatians 2:11-21 Every week you can also go to...
The Resurrection & Everyday Life: The Resurrection & Sexism, Racism, and Bigotry
April 20, 2021 14:50 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MBInjustice, wickedness, and violence pervasively impact those without power, agency, and rights. Systems and structures and individual actions of sexism, racism, and bigotry bring marginalization and even abuse. The allowance of such wickedness seems out of alignment with an all-powerful God. If the resurrection did not happen, that would be true. If the resurrection did happen, there must then be hope beyond these abuses of power. This week, we consider The Resurrection & Sexism, Rac...
The Resurrection & Everyday Life: The Resurrection & The Only Way to God
April 13, 2021 14:21 - 28 minutes - 26 MBIn our new series called, “The Resurrection” we will consider how the resurrection informs the Christian understanding of some of life's most pressing issues.

The Resurrection & Everyday Life: The Resurrection & A Useless Faith (Easter)
April 06, 2021 15:32 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBIf the resurrection did not happen, nothing about the Christian faith is worth considering. However, if it did occur, the resurrection shapes our understanding of all aspects of life. Join us as we consider how the resurrection ought to shape our understanding of life’s most pressing issues today. The Christian faith hinges on one single event––the Resurrection. If it did not happen, our faith is useless. However, if the resurrection of Jesus did happen, nothing in our lives stays ...
