What we say matters. God gives language as the first spiritual gift at Pentecost, enabling the early church to speak the language of guests. Those guests hear the Gospel and are converted. We need to strive to speak the language of our guests.

What is Salvation? While on one hand salvation happens in a moment, the Bible also understands salvation as a pathway marked by signposts that correspond to the very character of God—faithfulness, righteousness, peace, and love. The right question to ask is not: can I lose my salvation? The right question is: am I walking in the way of God’s salvation?

We have stories that define our lives. Israel’s story is the Exodus Story (Christian’s story is the Jesus story). But trauma rewrites our stories. Yet while we await the final revision of the story—on par with the original defining stories of God—we have a father who is healing us.

Missionaries like Joe Cannon have always had the fire burning. But how do you pass on that fire after the missionary is gone. Start churches that mature believers, raising them up to spread the fire.

We don’t have control, but we want it. Our many responses to the NFL protests prove this. But control is a temptation from Satan. It is bad for marriages. Its not the way the church changed the world. It is a spiritual danger. So, turn over control to the Father.

In our society, sex has been distorted in a number of ways. With this distortion, the church has remained relatively silent on the topic often taking the position that simply saving oneself for marriage is the primary task of a Christian. We want to offer a perspective of intimacy and oneness that moves beyond the distorted lens of society and the silence of the church. Join us for part four in this four week series.

What are we doing here? Hard to get to church. What are we doing here? World is crazy and Satan is on the loose. Highlanders are serving in so many ways. Like the believers in Rome did. Paul believed God was destroying Satan by the simple lives of service those Roman believers led. God is destroying Satan through us in the same way.

Lesson 7 from David Jackson's Wednesday night study.

The future of Israel is unclear. But in summary, Paul says that Israel is still in exile and Jesus is their way home. More importantly, Paul cares deeply for the souls of his fellow Jews. Do we care for those who may be unsaved? Most of the world is attempting to establish its own righteousness and ignore Gods. If we cared for their souls, we would attempt to show them the way that Jesus is the way.

Lesson 4 from David Jackson's class on Wednesday night.

Sometimes someone saves us from ourself. David is frustrated and so starts bullying Nabal. Nabal responds foolishly, and David seeks a vengeance that will actually damage his future. Abigail prevents him from taking it. Sometimes we need someone to save us from ourselves. Which is exactly what Christ does.
