EASTER 2020: Audio of Entire Online Service

Away from the Body, at Home with the Lord | 2 Corinthians 5:1-10

Jerry, Greg, and Mark helped us think through this comforting passage about spiritual growth in light suffering, death, the intermediate state with Christ, and the final resurrection.

This Light Momentary Affliction | 2 Corinthians 4

Jerry, Scott, and Mark help walk us through this packed fourth chapter of 2 Corinthians. Jerry helps us see how the afflictions of this life are "light and momentary" compared to eternity.

The Father of Mercies & God of All Comfort | 2 Corinthians 1:1-12

Jerry Ediger, Fred Schuller, and Mark McAndrew helped walk us through this comforting and encouraging passage. We learn that not only will God comfort us in our sufferings but that we can also use that comfort to comfort others as they suffer as well.

Interview with Jerry Ediger about the Coronavirus

Mark asked Jerry a number of questions about the Coronavirus, God's providence, and our response.

Seven Dangers of Ignoring Death | Psalm 90 (COVID-19)

Death is one of the few subjects that is culturally unacceptable to spend much time talking about publicly. We can happily discuss a large number of obscure topics, but we fear making eye contact with the subject of our own mortality for more than a few uncomfortable moments. But what if there is real solid hope and joy to be found on the other side of this topic in the resurrected Jesus?

Seven Points to Consider in light of COVID-19

Although audio messages online are no replacement for gathering together with the saints on a Sunday, it is the best we could do for today. We hope these are some helpful thoughts in light of our currently situation regarding the CoronaVirus.

The Greatest of These is Love | 1 Corinthians 13

Scott shows us how much this famous 'love chapter' has to teach us no matter how familiar we are with it.

Sunday School: The Creation of Man

Greg, Fred, and Mark deal with questions such as: Why do we sometimes refer to humanity as "man" in English and is this a biblical idea? What does it mean to glorify God? Why does it matter so much that man is made in the "image of God"?

Meditation on Union with Christ | Romans 6 (Greg Rentz)

Greg Rentz leads us in an encouraging meditation on the doctrine of the believer's union with Christ.

Your Spiritual Gifts are Not for You! | 1 Corinthians 12

Paul shows us that the church is made up of members who all have gifts uniquely given to them by God. We should use these not to make much of ourselves but to build up the body of Christ.

Understanding Angels, Satan, and Demons

Jerry, Fred, Mark and Grant helped us walk through some of what the Bible teaches us concerning angels and demons.

Meditation on the Gospel in Romans 1-5

Allen reminds us that the Gospel of Romans may not be the same gospel we grew up hearing.

Does New Testament Prophecy Still Happen Today?

There are many debates surrounding the so-called miraculous "sign gifts" in the New Testament. Today we focused on just one: NT Prophecy. What is it and does it still happen among Christians today?
