Examine Yourselves (2 Cor. 13:1-9)

C.S. Lewis once said "God whispers to us in our pleasures; he speaks to us in our work; he shouts at us in our pain." Sometimes, God can only get our attention by disciplining us. In our latest sermon podcast, we take a look at what the Bible says about church discipline. Topics we discuss include:
Why a little pain is sometimes a good thing
The need for "tough love"
Jesus' formula for correcting a brother or sister in sin
Reasons we should or should not confront
How God is ultimately wielding the rod in spiritual discipline
What does self-examination look like practically?
Thanks for listening.

Crossing the Finish Line (2 Kings 2)

Elijah was a mighty warrior in the hands of God. When his work was finished, the Lord took him up to heaven in style. His courage and endurance help all of us to press on in hard times. 
Thanks for listening.

Sick in Samaria (2 Kings 1)

The tragic story of King Ahaziah teaches that God is near, willing to help in our hour of need, but we must come to him humble and poor in spirit. Thanks for listening.

The Pouting King (1 Kings 21)

Conspiracy. Murder. Paganism. Ahab racks up a list of sins that would make many criminals blush. But at the end of his life, he humbles himself and finds the scandalous grace of God.

Pass the Cloak (1 Kings 19:19-21)

Elijah passes his cloak to his Elisha -- a symbolic act of ministry succession. Whether in parenting, mentoring, internships, or formal ministry training, now is the time to invest in the next generation.

Great Wind and a Gentle Whisper (1 Kings 19:9-18)

Alone on the mountain, Elijah hears from God in a "still, small voice." Feelings of discouragement can melt away with the knowledge God is not finished with us yet.

My Grace is Sufficient, pt 1 (2 Corinthians 12:1-10)
