Eschatology
Below is an excerpt from today’s message on Eschatology.
Good Morning! I wanted to start with a quick announcement that this upcoming week and the
week following is going to be my yearly study break. It’s an opportunity for me to just kind of get
away from everything and spend some time with the Lord and experience some rejuvenation,
read a bunch, and just seek his will and discernment so I’m gonna ask for prayers from you all
for me about this. I’m greatly looking forward to this. You all are going to be in great hands. We
have two amazing guest speakers in the next two weeks. Diego and Nancy are going to be
preaching for us and they are both awesome and they have incredible things to say. They are
both coming from The Gospel of John so if you like John you definitely want to come and hear
this. It’s going to be really good. I’m so really grateful for them and I will see you all in a couple
of weeks.This morning we are finishing our series called Foundations and we are looking at the
core essential key truths of the Christian faith. We have been going through the series for a
plethora of reasons.One is because there is often times in churches like ours or
nondenominational churches something that’s a teaching that is kind of surveying the whole of
the Christian faith that we’re able to give to new believers or who are coming into faith.
Also at least personally for me it has been a great study for me to grow to grow in my understanding of
a lot of these truths in my ability to articulate it to other people and it has been a formational
process for me and I hope it has been for you as well. We’ve talked about the nature of
scripture. We have talked about who God is and the teaching of the Trinity and how God is
loving community and how that changes so much. We’ve talked about the nature of human
beings. We’ve talked about the nature of our sins. We talked about how Jesus is fully God and
fully man and takes all our sin upon himself in the cross and through the resurrection gives us
power over sin and frees us. We experience salvation “Praise the Lord” for that and that we
receive the Holy Spirit who sanctifies us and chips away at us and helps to refine us and to
make us more and more like Jesus. Last week we talked about the community of people who
are filled by the Holy Spirit that is the church and who we are supposed to be and the kinds of
things the church is supposed to be about and the mission that we are committed to. This
morning we are talking about where all of this is heading. We’re talking about Eschatology, the
study of the end times or the last things. How are things going to end is the question we’re
diving into this morning. What does the future have in store for us? In some ways I feel like my
sermon wrote itself this week because if you all are on the internet and are in circles of Christian
media I’m sure that you saw something that the rapture happened this past Tuesday. So sorry
we’re in trouble! No, obviously the rapture did not happen!

September 21, 2025 Ecclesiology – What is the church? – Kyle Dingus

Ecclesiology
An excerpt of today’s message on Ecclesiology.
Good morning church! We are continuing our series on Foundations. Looking at the
foundational core truths of the Christian faith. We’ve talked a lot about scripture and how
scripture is a great authority, the primary authority for what we know about God and what we
know about truth and how we ought to live our lives, good lives and all of that. We talked about
the nature of God, who God is. We talked about the nature of human beings and how we relate
to God. We talked about Jesus, the one who is fully God and fully man and leads us into
salvation. We talked about the work of Jesus on the cross and resurrection. We talked last week
about the Holy Spirit and how the spirit fills those who are in Christ and we live empowered by
the Holy Spirit. This week we were talking about the Holy Spirit in a communal context, in a
corporate context meaning the church. The study of the church is called Ecclesiology coming
from the Greek word “ekklesia” which means gathering or assembly.
We’re diving into this morning the nature of the church and what’s the purpose, the function
of the church. This topic is a really big one both in terms of the breadth and content that’s
possible for us to talk about. There’s a lot we could talk about from the New Testament and it’s
also important to talk about the practicality of how we operate as a church but also how we live
our lives as individuals because we want to lean into Jesus’ vision of the church. And if we don’t
lean into Jesus’ vision of the church we are going to drift towards whatever is easy, whatever is
trendy in the world, whatever is self gratifying, or whatever makes us feel good about ourselves.
Without a good view of the church we will fail to model what a healthy community is and what that
can be to the rest of the world and we could actually end up pushing the world further away. Not
because of Gospel offense but because of our own self righteousness and in judgement that we show or
the other side of the pendulum that we look no different than anybody else in the world.

September 14, 2025 Pneumatology – Who is the Holy Spirit? – Kyle Dingus

Pneumatology
Below is an excerpt from today’s message.
Good Morning Church! It is so good to be with you all today! It’s great to be with a body of
believers. A couple of things before we get into the lesson this morning. One, a reminder that
classes started up week. We got a fresh slate of them. Unfortunately Finn Greeland is sick today
so if you are a part of his class you’ll have to wait until next week but other classes are going
strong. Finn’s class is on knowing yourself, self identity stuff as it relates to God. Mike Shinnick
and their crew are talking about discipleship and a view of the end times and Keith is talking
about First Corinthians. So sorry, I had a moment of Oh No the classes! Those are the classes! I
hope you stick around for those are going to be great.
I also wanted to share with you today about the first week of Alpha that happened. It was amazing
and I was telling people I think it was one of the most beautiful demonstration of the church that
I have ever seen in my life and what I mean by that is how much of a team effort that it was of people
who ordered the food, got the food, delivered it, and set it up. We had a prayer team praying for
everybody by name. I know several of you text me and let me know that you are praying. You set an
alarm for 6:30 to be praying for Alpha. I know all the people who showed up to be involved with it
was a wonderful thing. People who were helping to lead the small groups. Shout out to Tracy Grimes
for all the administrative stuff and the child care component organizing that and taking care of
the kiddos. It really was a church effort to extend the table of Jesus to the community. It was
amazing and we have another one tonight. If you want to set your alarm for 6:30 again to pray
for us we need the prayer, we really do. Just pray for us to have a really good night for everyone
involved and people learn more about the goodness of Jesus.
We’re currently going through a series called Foundations: looking at the core truths, the timeless
truths of the Christian faith and it’s such an important thing to talk about. It’s one for people who may
be newer to the faith and wanting to get a breadth of understanding of what this whole Christian thing
is all about. But, it’s also good for all of us in the pews to one, be reminded of the faith that we hold onto
tightly and also I’m sure there are things in this that can spark curiosity to dive deeper into some
of these studies…

September 07, 2025 Soteriology – What is salvation? – Kyle Dingus
https://www.fourthavenue.church/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/09072025-WorshipWEB-1.m4a

Soteriology
Below is an excerpt from today’s talk on Soteriology from Kyle.
Good morning! Before we get started this morning, as that last song was reminding us of the
importance of the power of prayer. Tonight we are beginning Alpha. It’s very exciting and very
nerve racking at the same time and we are expecting and hopeful that God is going to do really
amazing things through it. I’m going to ask for all of you guys to set an alarm at 6:30 tonight or
around there and just say a prayer for us as we’re sharing the love of Jesus with people. So it’s
going to be an awesome time. We are going through a series currently called Foundations.
Looking at the foundational core truths of the Christian faith.
We’ve talked about the Bible and how the Bible is our primary authority for knowing God and living
the good life and how God created human beings in the image of God. We as humans have sinned and
have fallen short of the Glory of God and we have a sinful nature. We are broken as people. We
talked last week about the bridge between God and man and Jesus and it’s a really good precursor
for what we are talking about today. We talked about the nature and character of Jesus and we are
examining today a lot of the work of Jesus, what Jesus accomplished on the cross and the
resurrection. We are talking about Soteriology, the study of salvation. In Islam you were saved if
God decides to save you based upon your good deeds. If you practice the five pillars, if you
lived a submissive life, if your good deeds ultimately outweighed your bad deeds then you might
make it to paradise. In Hinduism and Buddhism life is suffering. We are trapped into this never
ending cycle of reincarnation and the goal is to do enough good deeds to earn enough Karma to
get off the cycle of suffering and achieve unity with the divine essence.
