On this episode of the Mid-Week Main Point Jeff, Jeremiah, and Blake spent the first few minutes of the podcast in prayer for Jonathan's mission team in Armenia. Then, the remainder of this episode was spent discussing Jonathan's sermon from Sunday, September 4th titled, "Work Out Your Own Salvation?" The text for the sermon was Philippians 2:12-13. A few of the specific topics we discussed were: What does fear and trembling mean? Is Paul advocating for a works based salvation? A Buddha quote similar to, but way different from the Bible. Community. And the example of Jesus.

On this episode of Monday Main Point Jonathan, Jeremiah, Blake, and Jeff discuss Jeff's message on prayer from 1 Thess. 5.25.  They talk about why we should view fellow Christians as family members and ask whether the familial bond between Christians is/should be stronger than the familial bonds we have because of blood or marriage.  They talk at length about prayer and tackle questions like "What is the purpose of prayer?" "Does God listen to the prayer of an unbeliever?" "Should we pray for the requests of non-believers?" and "How specific do we need to be in order for our prayers to be effective?"

On this episode of the Main Point Jonathan, Jeremiah, Blake, and Jeff talk about what it means to join Jesus on mission as they discuss the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19.1-10. The pastors converse about whether our evangelism should be "seeker-sensitive," the hiddenness/accessibility of God in regards to those who are seeking, how far should we go in trying to reach our unreached friends/family, and is there any advantage in trying to minister to people in more "worldly" settings?

On this episode of the Monday Main Point Jeremiah, Jeff, and Blake had the privilege of discussing the exciting topic of baptism. The sermon from Sunday 8/14/22 was on Jesus' example and pattern for baptism which He gave to us in Matthew 3: 13-17. We had the privilege of being a part of a service where we witnessed 7 baptisms. So, the discussion began talking about all of that excitement, as well as discussing some of our pre-baptism process at ROS. We wanted to highlight how God is working in our midst, and how we have been blessed to see some of that work throughout the last few months. We then moved to a discussion of the sermon and how Jesus sets the example for us. Some of the specific questions we discuss are: What does it mean to be baptized by the Spirit? Does baptism save us? What is believers baptism? What is baptismal regeneration? How was the Trinity involved at Jesus' baptism? How does baptism proclaim the Gospel? What is the intended mode of baptism in the Bible? and How is baptism tied to church membership is SBC life?

On this episode of Monday Main Point Jonathan, Jeremiah, Blake, and Jeff are back together after a week of technical difficulties.  They discuss a few points of interest from the sermon on July 24th from Nehemiah 8 as well as the July 31st sermon titled "Fulfill Your Ministry."   Attempting to answer the question as to why the Israelites may have missed the Day of Atonement after they first returned from exile, they talk about the significance of the temple and how it points toward Jesus, whether or not the ark of the covenant was present after the Israelites' exile, and how we can be sure we don't miss the point in our own Bible studies.  They then switch gears and discuss whether every Christian has a ministry, the difference between a ministry and a calling, and the role of the church in supporting and encouraging these ministries and callings.

On this episode of Monday Main Point Jonathan, Jeremiah, and Jeff are together to discuss Jeff's sermon from Habakkuk entitled, "The Burden of Violence."  They talk about how a proper view of God and a proper view of man can help us better address the issue of why evil and violence is so prevalent in our world today, and what our response should be as Christians.  Does the great amount of evil in the world mean that God doesn't care or isn't in control?  What is our response when we feel God isn't hearing our prayers?  And should we turn to government to fix the mess we see around us?

On this episode of Monday Main Point all four pastors (Jonathan, Jeremiah, Blake, and Jeff) are together to talk about the student testimonies from Student Life Camp.  They discuss the "Unlikely" theme of camp derived from 1 Sam 16.7 as well as the missional emphasis of the students' testimonies.  This leads to some interesting reflections on what is necessary for someone to respond to the gospel, how God reveals Himself to man, and how the church compares to industries in terms of reaching a global audience.

On this episode of Monday Main Point Jonathan, Jeff, and Blake talk about Genesis 50.20, and how what was meant for evil, God meant for good.  They discuss how Joseph foreshadows Jesus, how responding with forgiveness is far more effective than reacting with anger, and how God can bring good from moments of suffering.  They also briefly discuss the responses they have observed on social media pertaining to the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and how our response to that decision might effect our impact for the Kingdom.
