Be Doers of the Word

All Christians face a common struggle – the mismatch between hearing and doing the word. Often, we hear a lot but do little. This struggle can push us to a very dangerous direction, that we show little concern about this mismatch. We may even convince ourselves with biblical material, that merely hearing the Word without doing anything is enough. Listen as Pastor Fengyu walks us through James 1:22-27 and shows us that God desires us to be doers of His word after hearing it.

The Living Stones of the Church

What would you say if the Bible compared you to a brick? That is exactly what the Apostle Peter does in 1 Peter 2:4-10. Christians are “living stones” that Christ is building up to become a “spiritual house”. What does that mean? Listen as Pastor Josh explains the significance of this metaphor for life in the church.

Bringing Our Anxieties to God

We live in what has been called an “epidemic of anxiety”. Our culture deals with anxiety through therapy, medication, and/or removal of triggers. What does the Bible say? Psalm 27 provides us with one example of how an ancient king brought his anxieties to God and found relief. Listen as Pastor Josh shows us how this beloved Psalm gives us tools to bring our anxieties to God.

One of Life’s Most Important Lessons

All of us have kids in our lives, whether our own kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, or even children around you in your church as part of your spiritual family. Each of us has the opportunity, even the responsibility, to impact the coming generation, teaching them life’s most important lessons. So, what are we teaching them now, and what should we be teaching the next generation? Listen as Dr. Larry McCall reveals to us from the Psalms the most foundational and central lessons we can be passing along to young people in our lives.

The Blasphemy of Hypocrisy

When we think about blasphemy, we think about saying things that show contempt for God or for sacred things. But in these verses, the Apostle Paul tells us that blasphemy doesn’t just come from what we say. It can also come from how we live. Listen as Pastor Josh teaches on how hypocritical living can do more to blaspheme God’s Name than anything else we say or do.

The Judgment of the Law

In a culture that emphasizes God’s justice for us, the first two chapters of Romans have emphasized God’s justice against us. But why? Even if we can understand why God judges those who received His law and failed to keep it, why would He judge those who never received it? Listen as Pastor Josh explains how the existence of Natural Law ensures that everyone is accountable before God.

How God Will Judge Us

If you ask a non-Christian why he believes he’ll go to heaven, he’ll likely say that it’s because he’s a good person. If you ask a Christian why she believes she’ll go to heaven, she’ll likely say that it’s because she believes in Jesus. In this text, the Apostle Paul tells us that the answer lies somewhere in between: faith in Jesus that produces good works is the only true basis for the assurance of salvation. Listen as Pastor Josh explains.
