If one of the apostles had planted your church and then he wrote a letter back to you that became a book of the Bible, what would it say? Well, the answer is that it would say basically what it already says, because God's word is sufficient for all people, in all places, at all times. So, what were the concerns of the apostles? One of the greatest concerns was false teaching or philosophies.

In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches a message on "Gender & The Bible" in a short series called Body & Soul. Chris teaches from Colossians 2:8-10 and then walks us through 4 verses that help us understand the "transgender" debate from a Biblical perspective: Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 3:7-10, Deuteronomy 22:5, Matthew 19:3-6. Chris then speaks to the issues of human flourishing and authority.

In The Divine Conspiracy, Dallas Willard poses a question that many Christians may have had: "It is good news to know that when I die all will be well, but is there any good news for this life? If I had to choose, I would rather have a car that runs than good insurance on one that doesn't. Can I not have both?" His concern was for a version of Christianity that believed for heaven but lived like hell.

In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches a message from Romans 6:1-14 entitled 'Walk In Newness of Life'. Chris contends that the good news of Jesus is not just heaven after death, but a 'fully alive' life that we can walk in now.

It has been said that there are no pessimists in heaven. All of us fall somewhere on the spectrum between pessimism and optimism. Pessimists are in danger of fatalism and optimists are in danger of folly. But, the resurrection presents us with a different way of seeing life as "Resurrection Realists". In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches a message entitled "Resurrection Realism" from Acts 4:1-12. Chris applies the resurrection to our daily lives, calling us to a fully alive faith.

Why did Jesus have to die? It's a valid question. Many have asked it. In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp teaches from Matthew 27:38-44 revealing three perspectives: the legalist, the relativist and the message of the cross. The cross is foolishness to the other 2 perspectives. Yet, at the cross, both the glorious love and the glorious justice of God are mingled together.
