Some 400 years before the coming of Jesus, the prophet Malachi spoke about one who would come for the purpose of announcing and preparing the way for the Lord. After 400 years of what appeared to be silence from God, it is revealed to a small-town elderly couple that they will give birth to the messenger. 

Introduction to the Gospel of Luke, the author Luke, the man Luke, and the person to whom Luke's book is written. Like Luke, we will invest several weeks into making a careful examination of the facts surrounding the man Jesus, who claims to be God. 

Is it possible to glorify God by simply enjoying life? If so, how? What does that look like today? Have you ever considered the theology of pleasure? Chris Stewart takes us through the Scriptures seeking to discover the answer to these important questions. 

What does suffering accomplish? Is there any purpose in it? This is one of the heaviest theological questions in the history of the world. We can't break it all down in less than an hour, but we hope this message brings you confidence and strength in your own suffering. 

Chris Stewart wraps up the teaching series on 1 John with a list of tests for knowing and having confidence that you are truly reborn of God. 

Chris Stewart teaches from 1 John chapter 4. 

Chris Stewart talks about what it means for Christians to live not by law, or rules, but by the Spirit of Christ. Since we are living by the Spirit, it is really important for us to understand the truth. John tells us to "test the spirits to see whether they are from God." In the message, we will look at how testing the spirits is done. 

Chris Stewart continues a teaching series on the book of 1 John. 

What does the Bible mean when it talks about "the world," and how can we make sure that we are not loving the world more than we love the Father? Chris picks up our series in 1 John with answers to these questions in the text. 

This is the message from our first in-person worship service in 24 weeks during the time of the coronavirus pandemic. This church service was held outdoors at Ohio Valley Christian Assembly.
