Do Good People Go to Heaven?

James Rochford
Mark 10:13-31

What does it take to get to heaven? Jesus gives a surprising answer to a young man who asks him this very question, indicating that it's not what you do, but instead who you trust.

True Faith vs. Mental Assent

Ryan Lowery
James 2:14-26

James argues that faith without works is a dead faith. Faith and works are not enemies, but they are united. Although we are not saved by works, we do demonstrate the authenticity of our faith by our works. Saving faith is an invisible transaction between God and the receiver of His grace. Works are the visible response to the salvation received. Works demonstrate to a watching word that our faith is genuine and inspires others to learn more about this God we follow.

The Full Armor of God (Part 2)

Gary DeLashmutt
Ephesians 6:16-17

The apostle Paul was chained to Roman soldiers when he wrote this letter. He uses their armor to illustrate God's resources for our battle with supernatural evil. This time we discuss the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit.

Who Do You Say That I Am?

Conrad Hilario
Mark 8:27-37

In this passage, Jesus asks his disciples a question of critical importance, "Who do you say that I am?" It's one that Jesus' disciples had to answer and one we will ultimately have to answer.

Total Help for Total Need

Gary DeLashmutt
Ephesians 2:1-10

The more we understand and appreciate what God says about our plight apart from Him, the more we appreciate the rescue He has provided through Jesus. In this passage, the Apostle Paul describes our total need, God's total help, and how to respond to His total help.

The Dawn of the Good News

Scott Risley
Mark 1:1-8

The Gospel of Mark covers the timeless hope offered by the arrival of a long-promised messiah to earth. As Jesus is about to emerge in his public ministry, John the Baptist shares the important message of preparation--the need to acknowledge our sins. It opens the door to being able to enjoy the forgiveness and freedom Jesus came to bring.

Did Jesus Rise from the Dead?

James Rochford
1 Corinthians 15

If Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead, then his extraordinary claims are true, and his message of love and forgiveness is a comforting reality for modern people. However, if Jesus didn't rise from the dead, then Christianity is toast! The stakes can't be any higher! If you've never explored the evidence, why not investigate this for yourself as James Rochford guides you through the case for Jesus' resurrection? At worst, you'll be able to cross Christianity off your list of potential belief-systems. At best, you may find eternal life!

Who is Jesus? Teacher? Madman? Messiah?

James Rochford
1 Corinthians 15

Jesus of Nazareth never had a formal education, never traveled farther than 100 miles from his birthplace, only had a three year public ministry; and he only collected a small following of uneducated disciples who abandoned him at his death. Yet 2000 years later modern people continue to find their curiosity piqued by this ancient man. But who is Jesus? Was he simply a moral teacher? A menace? A madman? A myth? Or the Messiah? James Rochford evaluates and assesses the evidence for the historical Jesus.
