Advice For Today's Christian

This is front and center of today’s headlines: “We Live In Divided Times.” What makes this sermon so special is not that these divisions headlined this week’s news, but that this headline was announced 2,000 years ago by Jesus himself! What should we do about the divisions that we see all around us? We consider Luke 12:49-59 and receive advice for these divided days straight from our Lord Himself.

Defending the Offense

What is our defense when someone's offense, or sin, comes against us? Jesus gave us 4 very specific instructions of how we are to respond. Just like in football, there is an order to how we respond, a 1st down, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Join Pastor Mark in this study of Matthew 18:15-17.

Reconciliation of the Faithful

How do we reconcile disagreements? We learn 3 principles, 1 great motivation, and 5 ways of finding common ground. Join Pastor Mark Pierce of Church Requel in this study of Philippians 4:2-5.
