Swimming in the Deep

We are excited at the beginning of a new season. In this episode we introduce what this season will hold as we look at current things in culture.  We share about truth and what is truth.  We have introduced the reality that injustice does exist, but we also make sure to point out the first and greatest injustice is against God.  We are going to look at topics that in some cases cause much debate. We are going to look at these topics/issues from the reality that Scripture is True and Trustworthy. 

In this episode we look at the giving of our time, money resources, etc. We are commanded to give, but how are we to give and what are we to give? As we explore this we find that giving is something that happens from our heart. Giving should be done generously, sacrificially, and cheerfully.

In this episode we take a brief look at prayer, specifically the call to pray. We discuss ways to pray, why we pray, and who should pray. There are a few models of prayer that we look at as well.

Here is this episode we take a look at how the local church and its members serving on mission in a local context and global context. This serving on mission in the local/global context comes from the humble servant heart displayed by a love for the community.

In this episode we take a brief look at serving in the local church.  God has gifted us as believers with gifts and talents for serving in the local church and in the community. All of this serving is for His Glory. How do you discover the gifts that God has given you?

In the previous episode we looked at what a new believer should do - be baptized and begin to recover and pursue God’s design and part of that is to then join a local church. We want to look closer and dive deeper into the question of why do we as a local church practice church membership. We will look at: What is biblical church membership, why do we have church membership?, and what is the goal of church membership?

This episode will be built on by the upcoming episodes. In episode 3 we take a look at what it means for the new Christian...what is a new christian suppose to do? We want to now bring it back to a local church level and we want to look closer and dive deeper into the question of what do I do as a new believer (and this can also apply for seasoned believers).

This is the 2nd episode of our 2-part series on denominations. In this episode we look specifically at the Southern Baptist Convention. What is the SBC? Where did it come from? We are missional people. The SBC has parts of its past that we are not proud of, but we are proud of the heart for missions and the cooperation of some 50,000 churches, +3,000 International Mission Board missionaries.

This is the first episode of 2-part series. In this episode we look very briefly at the denomination. What are denominations and why do we have them? There are things that separate denominations from each other and that comes from our theological convictions along with our religious liberty (Dr. R. Albert Mohler).

In this episode we are looking at God's great love for rebellious sinners and God's saving love. As we think through and look at the Need, the Offer, and the Call. We look at the faith that Israel had to have as they looked, in faith, too God for healing and as we today look with faith in Christ for salvation.
