Confronting Risk

 What can we learn from Paul and other people in the Bible when it comes to facing risk 

well?

Watch Out for People

 There is a clear thread through scripture - and our history - of God calling people to be "Watchmen," to watch out for people. We see this in Ezekiel 33. We see it in 1 Corinthians 9. We see it in Jesus' ministry. We see it in the lives of John Wesley & William Booth.

Step Into the Light

1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." There is a connection between this confession of sin and our confession of faith that we do with the creeds.

Confidence with God

 Jesus invites us to confidently enter God's rest.

Learning with Job

 What help does the Bible give with the problem of suffering?

All In

 Joseph went "all in" for Jesus. We can follow his example.

Joy to the World

 The birth of Jesus was (and is!) a true occasion for joy for the whole world.

Christmas Love

How did Joseph handle things when he learned Mary was pregnant? Through his obedience, he served an essential role in Gods gift of his Son.

The Problem of Prophecy

 It's common to take prophecy as a prediction of what will happen in the future. While this element of prophecy is found in the Bible, the primary purpose of prophecy is for God to speak into the lives and situations of his people. Through prophecy God offers words of hope and encouragement - as well as calls to repentance.

Waiting For the Fullness of Time

 In the fullness of time, God sent his Son into the world. If Jesus has already completed his work in his death on the cross and his resurrection from the dead, why do we have to wait for his return?

Opportunity Cost

 We worship Christ as King by not only honoring him with our words but by doing what he says.
