This morning we talk briefly about honor, and we compare it to healthy and unhealthy shame. Healthy shame can help us avoid behaviors which destroy ourselves and our communities, leading us to humility and appropriate dependence on others.
In today’s class, we talk about the root causes of anger and how we can learn to express our anger in ways that do not harm ourselves or others.
Today we review what we talked about in the month of April, and then we discuss how giving true expression to our sadness allows us to honor the people and relationships we have lost. God, too, grieves when humanity’s thoughts […]
In today’s class we talk about the feeling of loneliness. Sometimes our loneliness can let us know something isn’t right and maybe we crave relationships and connections we don’t have or have been avoiding. By listening to our loneliness we […]
Today we discuss Hurt, the experience of emotional and spiritual pain. Not dealing with our pain can lead us into denial, masking our pain with self-destructive behaviors, and resentment. We can begin healing from Hurt when we acknowledge our pain to […]
In today’s class we look at why we are inherently valuable: God made us in His image to be His representatives on earth. We are also made to need relationships: this is not a sign of weakness but an acknowledgement […]
In this first class of our series “Deep Calls to Deep: Spiritual Health for Men,” we discuss the psalms of King David help give us language for communicating our emotions to God, to ourselves, and to each other.
In today’s class we review the major points we’ve covered over the last three months. In summary: Although humans were created in God’s image to work with Him to rule creation together, we squandered that privilege and rebelled against God. Through […]
In today’s class, Dr. Kevin Burr talks about how music and worship helps us more fully love God with all our heart and soul. This class recording is short than most other classes because Kevin used video clips in class […]
Today we discuss the biblical worldview, including how Jesus saw His ministry as an entrance into enemy-occupied territory to take back creation for God’s kingdom.
In this morning’s class, several elders from Kings Crossing talk about what it means to be an elder and why they love Kings Crossing.
In today’s class we look at how the Lord’s Supper is a powerful, continual affirmation of our new identity in Christ and how Jesus meets us during this meal.
In today’s lesson we look at the pattern of salvation and deliverance through water from Genesis through the Old Testament to Jesus and the New Testament.
In today’s class, we talk about the royal role of humans in creation, how sin cursed all of creation, and how Jesus is a second Adam bringing new life to humans.
In today’s class, we talk about what spirits are and what the Holy Spirit does in the life of the believer.
In today’s lesson we look at a couple of instances from Jesus’s ministry to determine how Jesus treated the marginalized in society and religious leaders. Although Jesus was the friend of sinners and spoke harshly against the religious leaders’ abuses of the people, Jesus also welcomed anyone who was genuinely seeking.
Today we discuss some differences between pagan gods and “gods” depicted in modern movies and TV with the God of the Bible. We’ll see how the differences make a difference and we’ll discuss one of the most powerful statements about God in the whole Bible, Exodus 34:6-7.
In today’s class we discuss one of the basic outlines of the Christian life from Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.
One of the strangest and most troubling passages of Scripture is found in Genesis 22, where God tells Abraham to sacrifice his one and only son Isaac. If you grew up in church, you know God did not let Abraham go through with this, but this episode is easy to misunderstand if we don’t read it carefully. In today’s class we look at some of the subtle clues in the text to see what this story tells us about God, and how this story ultimately points to Jesus.
Today we look at a few verses in the New Testament that appear in some Bible translations but not in others. The oldest hand-written copies of the New Testament from over 1,500 years ago and earlier don’t include Mark 16:9-20, but any modern Bible translation will. How did this happen?
Well-meaning Christians will often say “The Bible is literal truth,” but what do we do with statements that are clearly not meant to be taken literally?
In today’s class, Dr. Kevin Burr discusses what we mean when we say “Scripture is authoritative.” Some people think we can easily determine which parts of Scripture are man’s and which parts are God’s, while others affirm a simplistic view of “The Bible says it, I believe it, that settles it.” The best position, instead, recognizes there is room for carefully nuancing how Scripture is authoritative for us today.
