The apostle Paul was a wicked man before salvation. Of that there is no doubt. But God didn't save Paul solely for his benefit. God radically changed Paul's life as an example of what can happen to us when we place our faith in Jesus. And as the gospel message changes us, we get to see the gospel message change others.

As we study through 1 Timothy 1:3-11, we see how important it is to rightly distinguish between false teachers and true teachers. False teachers believe lies that create division, have lost their way and are ignorant of the truth. True teachers are faithful and aim for love.

As we move through the book of 1 Timothy, we jump over to 3:14-16 and discuss why regenerate covenant membership matters in the lives of believers.

Join us as we walk through 1st and 2nd Timothy and we see why the Church (the body of believers) is indeed the dearest place on earth.

For believers, as we learn to walk in God's strength, we will inevitably find that we fail. It isn't a matter of IF we fall, but rather when we will fall...

And when we fall, it is important to understand that God doesn't condemn us to Hell or write us off as hopeless. Rather, scripture tells us that when we stumble, we are to repent, ask Jesus for forgiveness and turn from our sins. If we do this, Jesus is faithful to restore us and call us to something bigger than ourselves. Listen in and be encouraged today.

As we read through Isaiah 9:6, we see a wonderful picture of just a few of the things that Christ is to us. Scripture says He is our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Take time to marvel at the truth that God would send His only Son to die for all who would believe.

In John chapter 20, we read the account of the most amazing miracle in the history of creation~ the resurrection of Jesus. The cornerstone of the Christian faith, Jesus' conquering death, hell and the grave shows us that (1) Jesus' resurrection brings new life and intimacy with God; (2) through the Holy Spirit, Believers are empowered to live out the Christian life; (3) By faith, not by sight, we are saved and put back into a right relationship with God the Father.

In one of the most stunning passages of scripture, the crucifixion of Jesus, we see the world turned upside down. But what first looks to be defeat is actually victory; what looks to be the final blow is actually just a new and glorious beginning; what looks to be the darkness of death actually ushers in the light of salvation for the world. Listen and see how you can have the gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus.

Before Jesus departed, He instructed the disciples and all believers to pray in His name. For when we do this, it shows our trust in Christ, our intimacy with God, fills us with peace and completes our joy. Listen in on how you can have the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Before Jesus departed this earth, He promised to send the Holy Spirit in His place to lead, guide and direct us. Through our discussion of John 16, Pastor Brad pulls out 3 critical points from the passage: (1) We are better off with the Holy Spirit inside us than Jesus beside us; (2) The Holy Spirit is the great Evangelist and (3) The Holy Spirit is the great Discipler.
