A Trustworthy Statement
Titus 3:4-8 Paul, in his letter to Titus, emphasizes the profound impact of mercy in salvation and urges believers to devote themselves to good works in response. Pastor Doug Link illustrates how God’s grace and our good works collaborate harmoniously in the Christian life.
The Hope of His Calling
Ephesians 1:18 In this passage, Paul expresses his unwavering prayers for his readers and then shares specific requests he has made for them. Pastor Rod Bunton focuses on one of these requests: that we would gain a deeper appreciation for the blessings we have, beginning with the hope we have in God’s calling.
Arrested and Freed
Acts 5:17-26 Doing amazing signs and wonders impressed the followers but also caught the attention of their enemies. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches about the jealousy of the high priest and the Sadducees, which ultimately resulted in increased persecution of the apostles; however, this only revealed that God remains in control of the situation.
Glorifying God in the Digital Age
Pastor Doug Link emphasizes our primary purpose, which is to glorify God. He provides us with the reasons behind this purpose, describes how this manifests in our daily walk, and offers insights on how we can leverage our smart devices to achieve this desired goal.
The Ideal King’s Values
Psalm 101 King David, despite his numerous failures, was described by God as a man after His own heart. Pastor Ben Khazraee examines David’s mission statement, which should serve as a guiding principle for our own lives, the objectives that guided his actions and drew him closer to God.
The Danger of Growing in Secret Vices
Pastor Ben Khazraee focuses on the ways our devices facilitate our vices, not just the apparent ones like lust and materialism, but also gambling, gossip, and a general lack of self-control. He also suggests biblical solutions to help us address these issues and cultivate virtuous habits.
