• Veterans Day 2024 - Just War
    Nov 11 2024

    As a Christian and a military servicemember, I often get asked questions concerning how I can be willing to serve in the military and be part of an organization that exists to kill others. This idea is not new to Christianity or American military service members. How we understand, process, and apply our warfare concepts has a massive impact on our American experience.


    In this episode, we will celebrate the brave men and women who serve our nation and protect our freedoms. We will examine the four significant perspectives on warfare in Christianity and how Just War best fits what we see in Scripture and reality. Join us as we learn about this critical topic and apply powerful truths in our lives.

  • That Thing We Do - Tithes
    Oct 21 2024

    We do a lot of odd things in the Christian faith.


    The danger of being a long-time Christian is that we can spend our whole lives doing these things, and why we do them never gets explained. The danger of being a new Christian is that many church communities cannot tell you why we do what we do because no one ever told them. We just do them.


    This series aims to examine the Christian faith's traditions, practices, and sacraments so that we can know what we are doing in our faith and why we are doing it. Join us for this session as we examine the giving of tithes to understand its origins and history and have the right heart when we practice it in our lives.

  • Reading through Revelation - Part 38
    Oct 2 2024

    When will the world come to an end? Are we in the last days? Are you worried about being left behind?

    These are questions I often heard when I was growing up. In church services, we would listen to sermons on how Jesus was coming back soon and that a massive time of tribulation was about to go on for the Church around the world. Fears of the Antichrist, the Mark of the Beast, and fiery judgment left me confused and fearful. Maybe you have heard or experienced similar things and wondered how true they were.

    Join us as we continue this series on the Book of Revelation by finishing chapter 21 and examining the New Heaven and New Earth.

  • Measuring Morality
    Aug 14 2024

    In our current American culture, morality for the three most recent generations has been built around feelings, social norms, and legal codes. The problem with each of these foundations is that they shift over time and bend to the group's demands. Without a fixed point of reference, they force people to live like someone lost in the dark without a clear direction.

    Thankfully, there are ways we can work to measure morality to ensure that our system of beliefs applies to a fixed standard that does not shift over time. By examining the four areas of mutuality, meaningfulness, modernity, measurability, and being moored to a fixed point of reference, we can see that the classical Christian worldview is the only one that satisfactorily meets each of these requirements for morality.
