  • Taking Meals Together

    27/10/2024 Duração: 33min

    The New Testament repeatedly emphasizes the togetherness of brethren in the early church. Shortly after the church was established, the first Christians were meeting and eating together. Many churches today host “fellowship meals” – meals hosted by a congregation and conducted as part of the church’s work. But was Luke describing a church-sponsored meal? If not, are these meals at least authorized?

  • Revisiting Bible Authority

    20/10/2024 Duração: 41min

    It is good and necessary to revisit certain topics from time to time. We do not want to “drift away” from what we have learned previously (Hebrews 2:1). Some topics are so foundational that they affect what we believe, teach, and practice (individually and collectively). The topic of bible authority is one of these foundational topics. We will take another look at it here, perhaps in a different way to help reinforce the concept for us.

  • Judged by the Law of Liberty

    13/10/2024 Duração: 42min

    James said we will be “judged by the law of liberty” or “the law that gives freedom” (NIV). This should affect how we “speak” and “act.” So what does this mean? What is the “law of liberty”? How does recognizing this affect our lives? And how does this impact our view of others?

  • Declaring Holy War

    06/10/2024 Duração: 44min

    In this chapter, the rulers of God’s people were condemned, yet the false prophets tolerated it because they were comfortable, and they attacked anyone who jeopardized the current arrangement. In the same way today, false teachers are content when they have their livelihood, but when this is threatened, they “declare holy war.” This same mentality exists among various groups today – more than just false teachers/prophets. They are concerned with their livelihood, wealth, status, etc. When that is threatened, they will invoke God, the Bible, a sense of morality, etc. as a defense for their “right” to have what does not rightfully belong to them.

  • Jude’s Warning Against False Teachers

    29/09/2024 Duração: 28min

    In this short epistle, Jude warned about false teaching, reminded us of examples of God's judgment, and explained how to combat false teachers.

  • Lessons from Gideon (Part 4): Pride Can Be Our Downfall

    22/09/2024 Duração: 31min

    This is the final lesson in our series on Gideon. He was a hero of faith (Hebrews 11:32) who helped deliver the Israelites from the Midianites. Yet he certainly had his faults. In this lesson, we will see how he was an illustration of the wise man’s warning: “Pride goes before destruction” (Proverbs 16:18). For all of the good things Gideon did, he later allowed himself to be puffed up with pride, which led him to do things he should not have done. This is a warning for us because we can do the same.

  • Lessons from Gideon (Part 3): Depend on God, Not on Numbers

    15/09/2024 Duração: 25min

    When the time came to go to battle against the Midianites, Gideon assembled a large army. Yet God dramatically reduced his number in order to teach him (and us) a lesson. Despite the smaller number, Gideon’s army of 300 defeated the Midianites because God was with them. The lesson from this is that we need to trust in God, not the number of people on our side.

  • Lessons from Gideon (Part 2): Idols Must Be Destroyed

    08/09/2024 Duração: 27min

    The Israelites were being oppressed by the Midianites (Judges 6:1-7). God sent an angel to call Gideon to deliver them (Judges 6:12-16). He questioned God and doubted his ability to carry out this task, but he went. He was a hero of faith (Hebrews 11:32). Through his leadership, God would deliver Israel. Yet something had to be done first. He had to deal with the problem that caused all of the trouble – idolatry.

  • Lessons from Gideon (Part 1): Why Do Hard Times Come?

    01/09/2024 Duração: 33min

    Gideon lived during a time when the Midianites oppressed the Israelites. The people cried out to God, and an angel called Gideon to deliver them. Gideon believed God had abandoned them, and that he was the last one who should be called upon to deliver the people. Yet he was persuaded to answer the call. Gideon was a hero of faith (Hebrews 11:32), but he was not a perfect man. His example can inspire us to do great things for the Lord, while also serving as a cautionary tale showing how easy it is for God’s people to sin and lose faith.

  • Contend Earnestly for the Faith

    25/08/2024 Duração: 39min

    Throughout the New Testament, our efforts in the cause of Christ are likened to our involvement in a military conflict (cf. 1 Timothy 6:12; Ephesians 6:11). Jude also used this type of language in our text: “Contend earnestly for the faith.” What does this mean? How do we do this? And why is this necessary?
