Strength to Strength welcomed John D. Martin to discuss his favorite topic, the Kingdom of God.

God’s kingdom here on earth is to be a colony of heaven that demonstrates how God intends the whole world to be.

God’s righteous rule is just, and kind, and good, and right. The problem is that the gospel is presented a lot of times as a “save me” gospel. Salvation is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself.

Strength to Strength welcomed Marlin Sommers for a discussion about stewardship.

Christians talk a lot about stewardship. Being stewards is indeed a biblical idea (though “servant managers,” or “household managers” may be better terms). We know that what we are entrusted with is ultimately God’s resources.

What we may miss is that stewardship also describes our social roles in our various communities. We are stewards of God’s resources for the individuals or communities he intends those resources to bless.

This broadens our perspective on stewardship to include our skills, roles, and responsibilities, not just our money.

Strength to Strength welcomed Darvin Martin for a Bible study of John 14.

Are you looking forward to a mansion in heaven? Waiting for Christ to come again and take us to the place which He has prepared?

Scores of Gospel songs feed this anticipation. But what specifically did Jesus promise in John 14?

Join me as we listen once again to Jesus’ last words with the disciples before going to the cross. Let us believe the promise that He gave! It may be better than you thought!

Strength to Strength welcomes Aaron Crider for a Bible study of God’s name.

Join us for a worshipful meditation on “The Name We Trust.” Does the name of our God matter? Why is it hidden in most of our Bibles? What happens to The Name after the Old Testament?

Read the Bible with fresh appreciation, and marvel at who our God really is. A study of The Name is a study of our God Himself!

Strength to Strength welcomed Joel Nisly and Dru Lattin to discuss the so-called New Apostolic Reformation.

The New Apostolic Reformation, also known as Independent Network Charismatic Christianity is a rapidly-growing and influential global movement led by so-called apostles and prophets who claim an authority like that of the Twelve. While many groups have traditionally used the term apostle to mean one gifted or commissioned as a church planter, this movement views these offices as speaking directly for God.

The teachers and theology from this movement are exerting an influence upon the Anabaptist faith tradition. Our goal is to expose these errors, and call us to contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints.
