Be Aware of Proper Authority
26/03/2017The destructive nature of false teaching is often underestimated by many Christians. Scripture is replete with warnings about false teachers/teaching and the destruction that results.

Be Reminded of God's Judgment

Be Alert for Ungodliness
12/03/2017The Scriptures remind us often that right/healthy doctrine (orthodoxy) leads to right/healthy living (orthopraxy). So, the authors of Scripture do not shy away from reminding believers of the truth of the gospel and its benefits for our lives.

Listen as Pastor Bob begins the book of Jude and calls believers to be alert for those who may lead astray...

-
Living and Defending the Truth
05/02/2017Legalism is often marked by obedience which flows out of self-righteous duty. However, when the Christian is told to walk obediently in the truth, it should flow out of a loving delight that responds to God's grace toward us in Christ.

Focused On Outward Things Rather Than God

Every Pastor's Dream

-
Ministry Expanded
23/10/2016Sadly, there are many people within the visible church that believe that all ministry and service are the responsibility of the pastor(s). However, that is far from the biblical portrait of how the people of God are to carry out the ministries of the church.

God's Provision Today

Finding Out What Pleases the Lord
19/06/2016The Scripture says that before God sovereignly gives new life to a person, they "walk in darkness."

Kind to Others
29/05/2016For those who are believers in Christ, their position ("in Christ") before God the Father does not change. However, Scripture is clear that our actions—and our words—can grieve the Holy Spirit. Listen as Pastor Bob carefully considers the weight of our words from Ephesians 4:30-32.
