Topics: Destination, Goal, Motivation
Big Idea of the Message: Never lose sight of the destination: Jesus.

There are 3 groups of Christians addressed in the book of Hebrews:
1. Wavering: those who received Jesu...
Big Idea of the Series: Deciding to follow Jesus (or to recommit your life to him) is like a journey. This series starts off the new year by looking at the important elements of a successful journey and then applies that to our walk with Christ.
Text: Matthew 28:19–20; Luke 14:25–33; Matthew 10:36-38; Matthew 7:15-16 Topics: Discipleship, Preparation

Text: 1 Corinthians 5:1–13; Roman 14:10-13; Matthew 7:1–6
Believers are charged with encouraging and holding each other accountable when we are struggling with sin in our lives, but we are called to do so without burdening each other with ungodly judgment and shame.
Application Point: When we judge others, we elevate ourselves as morally superior, which often stems from false humility and pride. When we hold each o...
The belief that God wants all believers to be healthy, wealthy, and comfortable is an extrabiblical belief that is contradicted by the Scriptures. We are not promised that our lives will be free of suffering in this life. However, we are promised that we will not face pain or suffering on our own.
Application Point: Our ever-shifting circumstances are not in themselves proof of God’s love or disappointment. Rather, the...
Topics: Discipline, Holiness
Big Idea of the Message: The desires of the flesh are directly opposed to the desires of the Spirit.
Application Point: We cannot do what our flesh wants and also serve the Spirit; we must choose which we will elevate.
Galatians 5:16-26, 6:7-8; Romans 6:12-13, 8:18-19
"Discipline, for the Christian, begins with the body. We have only one. It is this body tha...
Text: 2 Cor 5:17-18; 2 Samuel 11; 2 Samuel 12:1-15; Psalm 51
Topic: Repentance, living in your newness
Big Idea of the Message: When you slip up, repent and ask God to help you; don’t use it as an excuse to give into more sin.
The new life of devotion to Christ means one has new attitudes and actions. Why do most New Year resolutions fail? Usually, we slip up once and then use that mistake as an excu...
Friendship is a mutual relationship characterized by intimacy, faithfulness, trust, unmotivated kindness, and service. The concept can describe one’s relationship with people and with God.
Obviously, we are affected most by those to whom we are closest. It is why there is such a heavy emphasis by Solomon on choosing close friends carefully & when you find some great ones---sticking together for the long haul.
As the United States of America celebrates Independence Day on July 4, it’s worth noting the nation was founded upon the idea that God created human beings to be free. The Declaration of Independence states that people “are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
But what is “liberty,” exactly? Is freedom based upon the country where yo...
The church that does not operate under the biblical theology of worship is in danger of failing to give God glory and failing to offer worship that is pleasing to Him. Contrary to popular belief, worship does not begin and end with the singing portion of our church services. Worship is also not limited to bowing in reverence before God. To begin with, worship is determined by God Himself.

No church is perfect. It’s full of imperfect people who come together for a common goal: to love Jesus and to talk about Him to those who don’t know Him. The Church is the body of Christ and, as such, is charged to carry out His work in the world. Before Jesus ascended back into heaven, He gave the disciples the Great Commission: "Go therefore and make disciples(reproduce) of all nations, baptizing them in the na...

In this episode, I discuss Spiritual growth in Christ.
Becoming more like Christ is the desire of every believer, and it is encouraging to know that God has the same desire for us. In fact, the Bible says that God “predestined [believers] to be conformed to the likeness of his Son” (Romans 8:29). Making us Christlike is God’s work, and He will see it through to the end (Philippians 1:6).

A biblical worldview (or a Christian worldview) is a worldview based on God's unchanging Word. Since God is the Creator of everything in heaven and earth, He is the standard for truth. God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and unchanging. The Bible contains the words of God, and God is Truth.
In broad terms, a worldview that is Christian examines cultural data and locates them within a pattern of belief that is c...
Advent symbolizes the present situation of the church in these “last days” (Acts 2:17), as God’s people wait for the return of Christ in glory to consummate his eternal kingdom. The church is in a similar situation to Israel at the end of the Old Testament: in exile, waiting and hoping in prayerful expectation for the coming of the Messiah.
The return of Jesus Christ is a vital part of God’s redemptive plan ...
This Episode is part of the Church Hurt episode. When we are hurt in a church, we should not stop fellowshipping. We should go into prayer, and seek discernment & Godly counsel before making a decision to leave a church. Most importantly, if we decide to leave we should seek another Christ-centered church to fellowship in.
Verses mentioned:
Acts 2:42, 1 Thessalonians 5:9-12, James 1:26-27, 1 Corinthia...
In this episode, I discuss Spiritual Disciplines. Spiritual Disciplines are practices we do regularly that can help us change with the power and grace of the Holy Spirit, our sinful habits and make us more like Christ, and connect us closer to God.
Biblical Spiritual Disciplines are for:
- The spiritual maturity of each believer and the community as a whole.
- The realization of the fruit of the spirit in one's...
In this episode, we discuss Discipleship with Pastor Gary Buon & brother Mitch Weber. We discuss how we came to love disciplining people for Christ.
Key Verse Matthew 28:16-20
We must know Christ, grow in Christ, serve in Christ, to share Christ!
What is a Disciple? A disciple is a person who follows Jesus, knows Jesus & His teaching; to grow more like Jesus, and goes for Jesus, serving others and ...
