Monday Main Point

This week on Monday Main Point, Jonathan, Jeremiah, Blake, and Jeff conclude the study on agape love, as they talk about Jesus' reinstatement of Peter found in John 21.15-17.  They discuss our tendency to replace our love for Jesus with other people, things, and activities.  For instance, if I miss church to attend a sporting event, am I sinning?  They also address why we drift away from God when we need his love and forgiveness most, why we have difficulty confessing our wrongs, and whether we can love Jesus with a true agape love.

This week on Monday Main Point, Jonathan, Jeremiah, Blake, and Jeff continue to discuss the aspects of agape, as they converse with one another about what it means to love God with all your being.  What is the greatest commandment and why was it important?  What does it mean to love God with ALL of your being, does it mean that we lose our own personalities as well?  Can we love God with all our being and be only partially committed?

This week on Monday Main Point, Jonathan, Jeremiah, Blake, and Jeff talk about what it means to "love our neighbor," and who our neighbor is, as they explore the parable of the Good Samaritan.  They discuss how we should define neighbor, whether taking care of our neighbor is separate from worship of God, and how Jesus is the "greater neighbor."

This week on Monday Main Point, Jonathan, Blake, and Jeff discuss what it means to "love our enemies" as they take a deeper look at Jesus' words in Matt. 5.43-45.  They address the question, "Does the Christian have any enemies?"  They talk about what Jesus meant when He told His followers that He did not come to bring peace but a sword.  And they converse with each other about the cultural implications of these unconventional words of Jesus concerning our enemies -- especially in light of terroristic events like 9-11 and the current situation in Afghanistan.

This week on Monday Main Point, Jonathan, Jeremiah, Blake, and Jeff talk about the difference between grace and fairness as they discuss Jesus' parable of the workers in the vineyard in Matt. 20. 1-16.  They cover what Jesus' universal invitation means for the church, what fairness and equality mean in terms of salvation, and what it means to be equal in the eyes of a gracious God.

This week on Monday Main Point, Jonathan, Jeremiah, Blake, and Jeff discuss agape love and its applications.  What is the definition of agape love and how is it different from the way we experience love as individuals or as a culture?  What is the difference between acceptance and tolerance and agape love, and is there any room for either of these in our understanding of agape?  What are some practical ways to practice agape love when it is foreign to our normal experience?

This week on Monday Main Point, Jonathan, Jeremiah, Blake, and Jeff talk about the difference resurrection power makes for the Christian as they discuss Romans 8.11.  By what power was Jesus resurrected from the dead?  How does the Christian experience this power, and what implications does it have for both the individual and the church?  Is our resurrection only a future event?  And will that resurrection involve bodies or is it purely a spiritual experience?  All this and more!

This week on Monday Main Point, Jonathan, Jeremiah, Blake, and Jeff discuss "Isaiah 40.29".  They talk about the importance of having a proper perspective of God, what it means to be "weak", how strength comes as a process, and how we can practically apply all of these ideas to our day to day lives.

This week on Monday Main Point, Jonathan, Jeremiah, Blake, and Jeff talk about hope.  What does it mean to have courage?  How can the Scriptures serve as a source of courage?  Can we have a strong heart without having a relationship with Jesus?  And more, can we be good without God?  All of this and more as the pastors take a deep look into Psalm 31.24.

This week on Monday Main Point, Jonathan, Jeremiah, Blake, and Jeff discuss the oft-misunderstood verse "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."  They talk about whether this verse can refer to athletic performance, whether it should be understood in the context of Christian ministry, and how we can practically "tap" into the power of Christ.
