On Trial

Ryan Lowery

Acts 25:14-26:31

When Paul makes his way to Jerusalem, he must give a defense to a variety of different parties. At the core of his defense is that he is a Christian by reason as he explains that Jesus fulfills the Old Testament. We should seek out evidence and be willing to respond to what we see. Believers should be prepared to boldly make a defense through personal testimony and through Scripture.

Jesus in the Old Testament (Part 5)

Gary DeLashmutt

John 7:37-39

God uses Moses to deliver the Israelites from Pharaoh and to guide them to the Promised Land. While wandering in the wilderness, God provides for their needs and quenches their thirst. Moses strikes the rock with his staff which produces an abundance of flowing water. This is a foreshadowing of Jesus being stricken and quenching humanities' thirst. It also points to Jesus providing everlasting life. Jesus is God's provision to meet humanities' greatest need and he continues to be our provision as we continue to entrust our lives to him.\r\n

The First Missionary Journey

Ryan Lowery

Acts 13:1-40

The history of missions is split between the harmful and the helpful, but if the claims of the Bible are true then missionaries are essential. Luke's historical account of Paul's first missionary journey shows what missions look like when done correctly. All of us should seek to be missionaries in our own culture or another.

Jesus in the Old Testament (Part 3)

Gary DeLashmutt

Genesis 22:1-14

God's love is demonstrated through the earliest event that predicts the coming Messiah through Abraham and his son Isaac. This is shown through two kinds of Messianic prophecies: 1) historical; 2) typological. Through Abraham's faith being tested as God calls on him to sacrifice his son Isaac, God's faithfulness is revealed as He provides a ram to take Isaac's place. This is a picture (type) of what God will do through His Son Jesus. There are many pictures (types) through Abraham and Isaac's story that point to what happens with Jesus as he is the sacrifice for humanities sin.\r\n

God's Strategy in Human History

Dennis McCallum

Romans 10:3-11:29

Even in the Old Testament, God has not wanted to relate to people through works, but instead through grace and faith! The nation of Israel thought that they could keep the law themselves. And, though they have been God's chosen people throughout all of human history, He chose to stop working through them for a time because they rejected His grace and subsequently, hardened their hearts. This does not mean that God has forgotten or rejected the Jews, He will still carry out His promises to the Jews after the Church Age. God is continuing to execute His vast, eternal plan of rescue and is choosing to use anyone and everyone who wants to following Him.

Becoming Who You Are

Dennis McCallum

Romans 6:1-19

In Adam, we were slaves to sin and alienated from God. Once we are in Christ, we have a new identity. Not only is it essential to know what this new identity is, it is just as important to learn to apply these truths to ourselves. As we begin to look at ourselves the way God looks at us and present ourselves to Him with this new identity in view, we can depend on Him to begin powerfully transforming us into the image of Christ.

The Good News

Dennis McCallum

Romans 1:1-17

The Good News of the Bible is that we can have a close, personal relationship with the God of the universe. We have to come to Him on His terms though, not on our own. God's terms are just that we have faith in the good news that He sent His son to die as payment for our sins on the cross. Jesus' life and death was predicted by several sources hundreds of years before he walked on the earth. The Gospel is the power of God. It's the only thing that makes us right with God and is accomplished from start to finish by faith.

The Attraction of the Gospel

Jim Leffel

Colossians 1:4-8

Paul describes the Good News that the Colossians know as grace, which has the power to change lives. He lists characteristics of this grace in the believers' lives as faith, love, and hope. Faith is our reality, love is our call, and hope is our future. These things attract others to Christ and make faith real.

Expanding the Threshold of Faith

Dennis McCallum

John 4:46-53

As we begin to follow God, He desires to deepen our faith and trust in Him. As we choose to believe His Word, we also receive inner revelation and ultimately an experience that allows us to deepen our trust as we live out of His Word. An active faith that is based on God's Word and backed up by action produces a more tested faith, enabling us to live more Christ-centered lives as we pursue Jesus.
