One of Satan's tactics is to accuse us of our sin. This usually causes us to think that there is no way that we can stand forgiven and righteous before God. At times we may be filled with despair and wonder how we could ever be saved. But how does Jesus' obedience set us free from all of this? Join us as we look at this vital truth and how it impacts us everyday!

What if Alliance Bible Church started giving away a brand new car to someone in attendance at each worship service every Sunday? 104 cars given away each year. What would happen? What do you think about that method? Good idea? Bad idea? Controversial idea? Join us as we ponder "means and ends."

Application:
1) The gospel will be treated with contempt
2) The gospel will have broad appeal
3) We win people to what we win them with

Text: 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5

Does our church have a "fan club" problem? If so, they need to be disbanded. Jesus said, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand" (Matthew 12:25). Fan clubs don't promote unity. But unity is necessary for longevity, strength, and effectiveness. Join us as we kick our first "hornets' nest."

Two keys to unity in the church...
1) Disband the fan clubs
2) Distinguish between means and ends

Text: 1 Corinthians 1:10-17

If you had to address a church struggling with division, sexual immorality, church members suing each other, misunderstanding surrounding divorce and remarriage, and numerous other problems, where would you start? Join us as we start a new series on First Corinthians entitled: The Book About Everything.

1) The nature of our identity
2) The source of what's good
3) The certainty of future grace

Text: 1 Corinthians 1:1-9

Have you noticed how much we talk about and use the word “gospel” at Alliance Bible Church? In fact, it is such a major theme that you might be asking questions like, “where is all of this coming from?” or, “does it matter?” or maybe even, “does it work?” We’ll dive into this major theme and consider the unique center point that the gospel provides.

1) The gospel is the message of the bible.
2) The gospel is the message of our salvation.
3) The gospel is the message of God’s power.

Every day you face the threat of the "greener grass conspiracy." It causes you to think to yourself, "If only I had that, then I would be content." You weren't made to be satisfied with petty things like career, human approval, or money. There's only One who offers you the contentment you long for. Join us to find out Who that is.

1) Earthly masters are never satisfied
2) Earthly methods are never satisfying
3) The satisfying method and master we need

Text: Genesis 29:31-30:24

If someone were to ask you what the gospel is, how would you respond? Would you speak of Matthew, Mark, Luke or John? Would you talk about God's commandments? Would you speak of the life of Christ? While the gospel means "good news," what does this actually entail? Join us as we journey through the surface of the very deep waters of the gospel!

1) The mystery of the gospel
2) The riches of the gospel

Text: Ephesians 3:1-13

What if tomorrow morning you woke up and God said, "Today will be your last day in the wilderness. Tomorrow you will enter the Promised Land." Besides jumping for joy, how would you spend your final day? What would you do? The reality is: each of us should live today as though we will enter our final rest tomorrow. Join us for the conclusion of our series, "Lessons from the Wilderness."

There is, in this story, a clear message to those already saved by grace: fit yourself for the Promised Land. Fit yourself for the rest that awaits you. Fit yourself for the kingdom to come.

1) Consecrate yourself
2) Follow that "box"
3) Memorialize the miracle

Text: Joshua 3:1-4:7

This wilderness story involves complaining (surprise!), snake bites, death, and a bronze serpent on a pole. What's even more interesting is that this story is something Jesus relates himself to in a fascinating conversation with a religious leader who thought he was on solid spiritual footing. There's a lot going on, but it offers us one very important lesson for survival in the wilderness.

1) Sin
2) Judgment
3) Repentance
4) Salvation

Text: Numbers 21:4-9

The Christian life is lived in the wilderness where we face a variety of threats. How we respond to them matters to God and impacts our future. To get equipped for faithful and fruitful wilderness living, join us...

If we want to avoid perishing in the wilderness, and we want to make it into our final rest, we’re going to need to hold onto these two truths:
1) Keep your divine design goggles on
2) Fan into flame the fires of faith
