We close our our series on "Headlines" with a call to not be conformed to this world but to be transformed by the renewal of our minds by the gospel of God.
Human life is defined by God not by culture. Do we live in a universe without windows? Do we live in a close world without providence? Is life meaningless and dispensable?
Technology is not only changing the way we think, it is placing the world on the bring of disaster.
What is the biblical approach to politics? Jesus and the Apostle Paul give us clear answers.
Woke idealogy is everywhere present and has several strongholds that trap people in false accusations. The strongholds of woke idealogy are satanic and extremely divisive. The gospel liberates people by reconciling them to God through Christ and his righteousness.
False prophets exploit unsteady people; Marx and Freud are combined for today's sexual revolution; Christians view creation, history, and salvation from a biblical perspective.

Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount with a call to lasting faith in who he is and what he teaches. He uses three word pictures to help us understand the qualities of a faith that lasts. In this sermon we look at the first word picture - "Enter the narrow gate."
Don't be so critical, but be a little critical. Jesus teaches his disciples how to strike the balance.
Jesus motivates his disciples to replace anxiety with a pursuit of the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
Last week Jesus taught us to pray God-centering prayers. This week Jesus teaches us to pray God-depending prayers.

The eight beatitudes found in Matthew 5 can be broken up into two groups of four. The first four focus on our vertical relationship with God. The second four focus on our horizontal relationships with people. In this sermon we unpack the first four beatitudes. Next week we will look at the second four.
The seven churches in Revelation are typically addressed by Jesus according to their strengths and weaknesses. But when Jesus addresses the church in Philadelphia, he only mentions its strength. We learn as followers and as a church that the church in Philadelphia is faithful. How do we respond to a culture in crisis? We stay faithful to the word of Christ and the name of Christ!
The context and opening words for the Sermon on the Mount are put before us in the Gospel of Matthew. As we begin what is known as the Beatitudes, we answer two questions: a) What is a blessed life? b) Who is truly blessed in this world?
Against the backdrop of Jesus' call to the dsiciples, we look at the vision and values of the Tabernacle Church.

Matthew uses not only prophecies but patterns from the Old Testament to point to Jesus being the Messiah. One such pattern is the pattern of Moses and the Exodus. The historic facts of Jesus' early life point to the pattern of Moses.
If Matthew chapter 1 is about the revelation of God in Christ; Matthew chapter 2 is the response of humanity to God in Christ. Will we join the wise men to worship Jesus or find ourselves as outsiders to the grace of God?
In celebrating the coming of Jesus into the world, we celebrate the threefold office of Christ.

In our Wednesday night teaching we are asking the question - "How can we be faithful followers of Jesus in the midst of a culture in crisis?" In this series we will look at the seven letters from Jesus to the seven churches of Revelation (Revelation chapters 1-3) and outline seven values to walk in as a church and as Christians. We set it all up by starting an overview of Revelation 1.
God is not silent. David celebrates how God reveals himself in nature. Next week we will conclude Psalm 19 with how God reveals himself in scripture.

In our first Men's Bible Study we ask, "What is the Bible?" We talk about "General Revelation" and "Special Revelation."
The churches in Galatia are being invaded by false teachers. One of their strategies to undermine the true gospel message is to discredit Paul's apostolic credentials. Paul, to prove his calling, points to his life before and after coming to Christ. In his testimony of conversion, we get a moving picture of the nature and power of God's grace. We also learn how to write our Christian testimony!
The Apostle Paul writes a fiery letter to churches in Galatia. These churches are allowing false teachers to distort the gospel. Paul must bring them back to true Christianity - the gospel of grace and freedom in Christ. This week we learn the difference between "man's gospel" and "God's gospel"; we learn why it matters that we get the gospel right and get the gospel out.
