Theology on Fire

In this first episode of a five-part series, Leah Wilkes explores how we are purposefully and thoughtfully created by God. She shares the truth of scripture that as redeemed children of God, an investment has been made in each of our lives with a clear intent and unique purpose.  Leah encourages us to be confident, knowing that we are created by the Father, saved by the Son, and indwelled by the Holy Spirit. Join Leah and the ladies of FNT as they take a closer look at the investment of the Godhead in our lives and the exciting possibilities that await us in serving Jesus.

This is part 1 of a 5 part series taught by Leah at First New Testament Church's Ladies' Bible Study.

 Surely, Socialists are wrong about everything, right?! Not always. How should we respond when Socialists make a good point, such as the need to care for the poor? Is there a Biblical model for this? Let's look at what God says and how we should be careful to listen and respond Biblically to arguments made for Socialism. You might just end up buying lunch for a socialist...and giving them the Gospel while you do it!

This is part 3 of a 3 part series taught at my local church's young adults Sunday School.

It can be shocking to hear that someone who claims to follow Christ also supports Socialism/Marxism. So, why do Progressive Christians support socialism and what are the basic tenets of Progressive Christianity? More than any political party, Progressive Christians may provide an even harder challenge to those who faithfully follow Jesus, due to their isolation and twisting of scripture. Find out the basics of this movement and stand firm in your faith.

This is part 2 of a 3 part series taught at my local church's young adults Sunday School.  For a more detailed analysis of Progressive Christianity, be sure to check out The Alisa Childers Podcast and specifically the  Progressive Christianity series created by Alisa Childers and Mike Winger.

Let's review the modern American Socialist movement through a Biblical lens. Socialism is much more than just economics and politics; it is an entire worldview whose very foundational assumptions must be scrutinized against scripture. This is part 1 of a 3 part series*, and while I certainly do not cover all possible points, it provides a basic understanding which I pray will be of value. Feel free to share with your youth group, young adults, or anyone else who may be helped by it.

For a  discussion on race, racism, discrimination, and intersectionality (which I did not attempt to cover in this brief teaching) please see the following video by Mike Winger and Neil Shenvi.

*This is a series I taught to the Young Adults Sunday School at my local church (First New Testament Church)

What was it that changed the wisest man on earth into a fool and how can I avoid the same tragic mistake? Let’s take a look at the life of Solomon and see how someone who was discipled by the worshipper of God, divinely gifted, and had experienced God's powerful presence himself fell into ruin and brought his household and nation with him. No matter our age, we must learn from history so that we do not repeat it ourselves.

The Christian life is not a game, so quit acting like it is! When we were saved by Jesus, we were enlisted into his ranks and clothed with battle array. It’s time to quit wasting time and energy with the things of this world and let God make us into what He has called us to be, soldiers of the Cross. This earth is our battlefield, and the enemy is not physical, which makes it all the more difficult to stay awake and alert.

Be stirred and prepare your heart to serve the Lord! He is coming soon, and our time to advance God’s Kingdom is short!

Let’s talk about traditions! What are some encouraging traditions that we can implement into our yearly Christmas routine? Today, Andrew and Leah talk about some that they would like to do as a family to honor the Lord. In a season where society tries to push us further and further from Christianity, family traditions help us to focus on Who is truly important at this time.
