Ian Ross continues the series out of 1 John talking about how loving the world can rob us of our intimacy with God. He breaks down how every sin is rooted in either the desires of our eyes, the lust of our flesh or the pride of life. Ian emphasizes that the pride of life means wanting the world to embrace us, but as Christians we can't get along with the world while also living a life with zero compromise. We learn that the Word of God is our tool to fight against temptation.
Jonathan Stamper continues the series out of 1 John, focusing on how to ask for forgiveness. He shares that repentance is the key to revival and parallels the leper from Matthew 8 with our own need to be cleansed from unrighteousness. We are encouraged that not only can God cleanse us, but that he wants to.
Nick Brennt continues the series out of 1 John, focusing on false doctrine. He emphasizes that false teaching distorts Jesus and His message. Nick tells us that the most dangerous lies are the ones that are partly true and that the enemy has been on a pathway of distorting who God is from the beginning. He highlights that grace is not a license to sin and if grace isn't pulling us into truth then it isn't the grace of Christ. We learn that sin blocks us in our fellowship with God and that God convicts us of our sin because he wants to be close to us.
Derek Mack begins a new series from 1 John about being a zealous christian, preaching this week on zeal for eternal life. Derek emphasizes that Jesus never did anything out of boredom or religious obligation, so if we are bored, we aren't dwelling on an accurate view of God. We learn that zeal keeps us from religious duty and empowers us to action. Derek defines Christianity as the experience of the life of God in your soul.
Michael Pierce continues the 2 Timothy series by focusing why it is important to raise up faithful leaders. He emphasizes that no one is disqualified from the Great Commision and that it applies to every believer, no matter your occupation or calling. Michael uses stories of Jesus with his disciples, and breaks down what Paul writes to Timothy, in order to give us examples of how to raise up faithful leaders. We are challenged to reorient our lives around this commandment so that our lives will continue to impact generations to come.
