MOVING FROM DOUBT TO FAITH

Mark 9:20-25 The Bible frequently uses mountains as a metaphor for seemingly impossible situations we encounter. In this new series, INVINCIBLE, we are going to discover how to conquer ten “mountains” that separate Christians from the abundant life Jesus has promised believers. Today, we are going to discuss how to overcome the mountain of doubt by moving from doubt to faith.

GOOD GRACE AND DIVORCE Part 2

Last time we began examining how a proper understanding of grace should impact our marriage and discovered that “bad grace” promotes two lies about marriage. Today, we will examine a third misunderstanding about divorce and remarriage. 

GOOD GRACE CHURCHES Part 2

Last time we saw how a proper understanding of grace should impact our attitude toward membership and attendance within the local church. Today, we will examine the relationship between grace and our giving and service in the Body of Christ.

GOOD GRACE CHURCHES Part 1

Hebrews 10:23-25 Today and next week we are going to discover how a proper understanding of grace should affect our attitude and actions toward the local church. Specifically, we are going to contrast “bad grace” and “good grace” in four specific areas related to church life.

WHAT CHILD IS THIS?

Colossians 1:15-20 When you picture Jesus Christ, what image comes to your mind — a tiny baby in a feeding trough, a grown man teaching the multitudes, or a powerful monarch seated on a throne? Today, we are going to look at an unexpected passage from the New Testament to answer the question, “What Child Is This?” whose birth we are celebrating this week.

GOOD GRACE SPIRITUALITY

Over the last several weeks, we have been examining the difference between “good grace” and “bad grace.” Grace is not the freedom to serve no master, but a new Master. Grace does not mean we are under no law, but under a new law. Over the next few weeks, we will discover how a proper understanding of grace should impact our relationships, our marriage, and our church. Today, we begin by looking at how grace should affect our relationship with God.

LAYING DOWN THE LAW WITHOUT GIVING UP GRACE

Romans 6:15 Have you ever heard the question, “If God has forgiven me of all my sins and my place in heaven is secure, what keeps me from sinning as much as I want to?” Such a question fails to take into account seven radical changes that occur in the life of anyone who is the recipient of God’s amazing grace.

REPROOFS THAT RESTORE

Hebrews 12:5-11 We know that unbelievers will be punished for their unforgiven sin throughout eternity, but does God ever punish Christians for their sins? The writer of Hebrews answers that question definitely in today’s study from Hebrews 12.

AGAINST ALL ODDS

Hebrews 11:30-40 In this climatic conclusion of Hebrews 11, the writer reminds us that faith sometimes enables us to conquer problems, while other times faith enables us to endure problems. Yet, faith always results in receiving God’s approval of our lives.

FEARLESS FAITH

Hebrews 11:23-29 Fear is the root cause of many bad decisions we make in many areas of life including our relationship with God. Today, we are going to look at perhaps the most well-known characters of the Old Testament who conquered four types of fear by their faith.

THE NECESSARY INGREDIENT

Hebrews 11:1-7 Today we are beginning a new series within a series, based on the final three chapters of Hebrews. Whether a problem strengthens our relationship with God or destroys our relationship with God depends on a single word that is the focus of Hebrews 11.
