ONElife Church Podcast

Drew Ansley is the planter and pastor of Refuge Detroit, a brand new church set to launch in Southwest Detroit, and on January 27th, 2019 he and his family came to visit us at ONElife! After preaching at our 11am worship gathering, Drew sat down with our elders to share a little more of his story and the work that God has called them to do.

If you are a human and live in this broken world, you have undoubtedly been faced with conflict. Maybe someone sinned against you personally, or maybe someone close to you was living a lifestyle of unrepentant sin. Either way, where there are people, there is sin, and where there is sin, there is conflict. The question, then, is how have we handled such conflict?

Fortunately God's Word, which is "profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16)," has given us a blueprint for resolving such conflict in a way that is filled with both grace and truth. In this episode Dan and Eric unpack Matthew 18:15-17, Jesus' step-by-step plan for resolving conflict.

This week the guys dive into the Law of God -- arguably the most misunderstood and thus missapplied portions of scripture. In this overview they layout the threefold division of the Law -- Moral, Civil, and Ceremonial -- and addresss where they are found, what their primary uses were in the Old Testament, and what their uses are for us today.

Which laws do we follow? Which laws have been abrogated? Tune into this week's episode to find out!

Why does the church sing? Wanting to fellowship with people of a similar belief makes sense, studying the Bible and learning how we can apply it to our lives makes sense, but why in the world do we spend so much time singing as a Church? That's the question we set out to answer and in this week's episode we will walk you through the three reasons we see given in the scriptures:

To Praise God

To Teach One Another

To Be Filled with the Holy Spirit

Immigration: there's not a more dividing or hotly contested issue in the media right now. We know how the Republicans feel about it, we know how the Democrats feel about it, but what does the Bible actually teach us about it? This week's podcast is all about immigration and who owns the land!

In this first podcast, we get deep into the roots of where ONElife Church came from and, by God's grace, where we are heading:

How the Lord called our pastors

How did our founding pastors meet?

What led to the planting of ONElife Church?

Where does the name 'ONElife' come from?

How has planting a church changed their views on church planting?

Where do they see ONElife Church 2 years from now? 10? 20?

Tips, tricks, or suggestions that they would tell someone who is considering a calling to plant a church or is actively planting one now

The gospel is God’s response to the fall. At the fall, the world was broken, creating three primary needs: theological need, sociological need, and physical need. God has determined to redeem fallen man in all three areas of need through Christ, in the Church. He has given the Church two kinds of leaders to help her become be what He has called her to be -- elders and deacons.

In this week's episode we discuss elders and deacons, their roles, and their qualifications!

'We live in a postmodern world where there are strong emotional pressures against holding to any sort of objective truth. As a local church, if we do not 'hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught' (Titus 1:9), sooner or later we will lose our way. Secondary issues and goals will take the place of the things that really matter; we will lose our saltiness, our distinctiveness, and at that point we would be no different than any other group of people in the world. To this end we have a Statement of Faith and Doctrinal Disctinctives to guide our way!

This episode is all about our beliefs as a church:

ONElife Church embraces an orthodox statement of faith? What does this mean?

ONElife Church has several doctrinal distinctives. What are these distinctives?

Why do we have ONElife Church resolutions and not a ONElife Church covenant? What these resolutions?

Our views on Baptism and the Lord's Supper
