  • Stealing vs Laboring (Ephesians 4:28)
    On the one hand it is very easy for us to say that not stealing is pretty easy. I mean, we might not struggle with literally shop lifting, or maybe we don’t struggle with smashing a window to steal something out of a shop. If we do struggle with shop lifting it is pretty easy to acknowledge that is sin because the government will punish for such action. However, how does this law penetrate deeper into the heart? Where do we all struggle to live out this command? How do we positively submit to the Lord?

  • Chaste Christians (Ephesians 5:15-33)
    Normally when we think about the seventh commandment we limit the commandment to keeping the marriage bed pure. Maintaining the pure marriage bed is certainly part of the commandment against adultery, but it is not all of it. There is a call for us to maintain a focused relationship on the Lord. What does a focused relationship on the Lord have to do with the seventh commandment?

  • Satanic Situation (Matthew 16:21-28)
    The prophets and the apostles are the bedrock for the Lord’s church. Peter, the spokesmen for the apostles, is the one who affirms with absolute certainty that Christ is the messiah. He is the redeemer, the Christ, the Son of God sent to do the Father’s mission. It would seem that such a strong affirmation is only going to bring Peter to submission. However, the Christ rebukes Peter in a strong way. Why is Christ’s mission so difficult to embrace?

  • The Mysterious Warrior (Joshua 5:13-16)

    There is a warrior to stands in front of Joshua. Why does this warrior simply say “no” to Joshua when Joshua asks this warrior whose side he is on? What does this tell us about this warrior and his authority?

  • Veiled Victory (Matthew 16:13-20)

    Christ is the messiah who enters history to save us from our sins.  He is our redeemer who brings in the kingdom.  Why does Christ promise such a strong kingdom that will go beyond human history, but then tell his disciples not to tell anyone about his kingdom?  What kind of kingdom can this be?  Is this a kingdom that will go beyond human history?

  • Loving Murderers (Romans 12)
    The Apostle Paul moves the command to love beyond some sentimental feeling or experience.  It is a call to love at the level Christ has loved us.  What is this standard of love?  What does love have to do with murder?

  • What is Bad Leaven? (Matthew 16:1-12)
    Christ warns the disciples that the disciples should beware of the bad leaven from the Sadduccees and the Pharisees. What is that bad leaven? How can that impact the church today? How can we avoid this leaven as we live out the gospel?

  • A United Household (Ephesians 5:15-6:9)
    When we talk about marriage or the struggles in the household we want to go right to the commands. We want to hear what we must do and how hard we must try to be successful Christians. However, the Apostle Paul labors to communicate that we cannot do if the work has not been done. What work needs to be done? What life needs to be lived before we can live out the Christian life? How do we promote a unified household in the Lord?
    41 min
  • Nurtured to Sabbath Glory (1 Timothy 4:11-16)
    Paul is addressing the reality that the Christian life is not so easy to live out. It is a life of struggle, temptation, and we have seen a turning away from the gospel. So, how do we keep our focus and orientation on the proper goal? How do we manage our priorities in the Lord?
