This morning I thought we would get into something that we probably won’t stumble across too often if we are doing exegetical series and sticking to specific texts. We have the freedom to explore a bit more and face more directly into some of the questions and challenges of our day today. So this morning, [...]

Today will be fun, because we get to talk about circumcision! Really though, what will be revealing is that as we understand what circumcision represented for Israel, realize who Paul is talking to and what he is saying is that how much Paul is defining the gospel as a cosmic event that affects all of [...]

As we start into Ephesians it’s going to be important to try and keep the things we talk about week to week at the back of our heads. We do not want to risk treating the scriptures as individual pieces all thrown together that can be taken out of context and put on display as [...]

Being the season of Advent, a season of purposeful waiting, it tends to get a bit serious. Everything is more solemn right now, the songs we sing with Dan leading are more depressing about longing and waiting and for the most part we just want to dive into the Christmas spirit and quit being so [...]

One of the the things I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about and reading about lately is our worship service. I tend to do this and then start reading a lot of books, meeting people and asking hard questions so I can better understand what is going on. So there are different questions [...]

We are entering in at Chapter 25 in Acts this morning. So there is a lot happening now in Acts. Paul is bound up in prison for at least two years. He is being used as some sort of political tool to impress others and frustrate others. He is constantly defending himself and his story [...]

Acts was written by Luke as a second part to the Gospel of Luke. Acts is chronicling the spread of the church from the Ascension of Jesus to following Paul around on his different missionary journeys. There is key things we are supposed to notice about how the gospel has been spreading. Namely it has [...]

We are making our way through Acts at a fairly good pace and we are seeing how the gospel is starting to make its way to the ends of the earth. We are starting to see a strategy unfold, and seeing how the way that the apostles and disciples are passing along the news isn’t [...]
