Real Unity Session 2.

Now that we have identified a serious problem (how disunited Christ's Church is), we begin thinking about some principles towards solutions. 

Clearly, the solution won't be easy, as the problem is quite complex, but we have to start somewhere. Let's start thinking - and living - towards denominational unity.  

Sessions on Unity.

What does it mean that Christ commands us to be unified, yet we are split into dozens (hundreds) of different denominations? How big of a problem is this? 

Let's be thinking of how we can be agents of unity in the Church beyond our own denominations and traditions.

Applying Covenantal Structure to the covenant of marriage and in liturgy. Philemon is written according to this structure.

The audio for the second half of the live presentation was lost and was re-recorded in my studio. 

It is Story Time with Tyler. Today, I tell you my story of "deconstruction". 

There is a reason I share this story and it is not to shame, put down, or accuse those in Pentecostal/Charismatic circles. It is actually for a better purpose, one much more important than any of us. 

Learning another literary structure - the pattern of the covenant. 

Should I put more stock into my own experience or an experts' opinion? How do I know if something is true or false? What if I don't know?

We talk about epistemology, lying, interpreting data, and challenging our presuppositions. The evidence of your eyes and ears should mean more to you than what the media or any "expert" says.

Working on applying chiastic structure in the text of Scripture. Presented the chiasm in Philemon.

4/4 of The Marriage Special. 

Concluding this series, we examine the topic of Remarriage. Is it permissible to remarry, and if so, when and in what cases? 

Are there sinful remarriages that should be broken up? Does it matter who was at fault for a divorce when it comes to remarrying? 

These are some of the considerations discussed in this episode as we put out some principles regarding this sensitive reality. 

We begin a new series in the Sunday School Class: Philemon. 

We start with lessons in literary devices, including Chiastic Structure. These devices are utilized by biblical writers and assist in interpreting key parts of a text. 

Part 3/4 of The Marriage Special. 

Divorce is a hard yet widespread reality. Even professing Christians divorce at nearly identical rates as non-Christians. Christians also seem to disagree on how to handle the issue of divorce.

Is divorce ever okay? What are the "Grounds for divorce", if there are any? Are two people equally guilty in the ending of a marriage? 

Thankfully, the Bible has clear-cut things to say.
