The True Prophet(A Sermon Based on Matthew 7:15-23)

Pastors have profound relationships with their churches. They love them, serve them, and sometimes even ache for them. Paul had that kind of profound relationship with his church too. And he leveraged that relationship all the way to the hilt on one single issue. Here's what made him as a pastor get vulnerable and what made this pastor share his heart too. Listen in!

A Peace Academy session on the science of textual criticism

The ancients talked about something called acedia. They understood it as one of the great sins. We don't call it acedia anymore, but we do call it things. Sometimes we call it boredom. Other times we call it spiritual lethargy. Still other times we call it dullness in life or a season of spiritual dryness. It shows up in our lives in lots of different ways. Sometimes it’ll have you mindlessly scrolling through Facebook. Other times it’ll have you pleasure seeking to feel alive through sex or some form of lust. Still other times it’ll have you being more like a drone at work or at church than being a human. There, but not really living. Still other times it’ll have you flipping on your favorite political talking head honestly not because you really need the information to live for God, but because you want to feel something - anything - even if it's just plain mad. God calls us to leave that evil behind and live. Here's God's truth on how to do that.

A look at worldview and the way we approach the Scriptures

There is so much of life that God has not told us how to live. So much that he's left to our discretion. Christians talk about these matters and often feel strongly about the decisions they make in those areas. Some Christians, however, don't see just how free they are and feel like there are some things they can't do even though God hasn't commanded anything or forbidden anything about it. When we have a right to live a certain way and we know we are right about that, but someone feels differently what should we do about that? This is a sermon about what to do with your right when you are right. Listen in below!

Crack Your Bible #3 (A Peace Academy Session)

This session is all about New Testament Canon.

This is the second session of a Peace Academy called Crack Your Bible.

The Second Sermon in a Series called SuperNATURAL based on Matthew 14:22-33We all naturally want to believe that we are captains of our own boats and lords on our own seas. That kind of living produces fear, terror, and doubt when we encounter forces beyond ourselves. Jesus does his most profound supernatural work here when he returns us to a spiritual place where we trust his power and his grace in our storms. Listen in to see how he does it!

We all live in a wilderness. We live in a wilderness of disappointment and worry, pain and death, scarcity and thorns. That is our life. And because that's true we are all hungry inside. Listen in to learn what God does when he breaks in to our wilderness. It is the gospel!
