WOULD A LOVING GOD SEND ANYONE TO HELL?: The Clash of Kingdoms, pt. 3

It's difficult for some people to reconcile God being loving with Him sending people to hell for all eternity.  This teaching will help unravel what the Bible says about that, providing important perspective on the nature of God, His sense of mercy AND justice, and providing the believer with an important element of the gospel message.  

FROM SAFE SPACE TO BRAVE SPACE: The Clash of Kingdoms, pt. 2

"Safe space" is a cultural concept introduced by certain groups in universities and some work places designed to protect people from criticism, harassment, or discrimination.  While this is well-intentioned perhaps, by trying to protect people from ever experiencing anything difficult, we inadvertently create emotionally weak people who can't handle adversity.  But this "safe space" mentality has crept into even the church, resulting in a church culture where people don't know how to deal with conflict nor control their emotions.  The outcome is a church culture of cry babies and whiners.  But God wants to move us beyond a safe space mentality to a brave space mentality so we can learn to be spiritual champions.

THE CLASH OF KINGDOMS: Discerning Truth from Error in an Age of Deception

NFL player Harrison Butker has been under heavy verbal attack in the past week for his pro-family speech at a commencement ceremony.  Harrison Butker sees various social issues through the lens of the Word of God, which has gotten him attacked and called a white supremicist, racist, and male chauvinist.  Yet the Bible does address some of the most difficult and volatile issues of our time, and it would be good if more of God's people knew what His Word says about these things and stood up to proclaim them.  Truth is not changeable with the times, but is immutable.  We address several "taboo" social issues in this teaching from the perspective of God's immutable Word.  Buckle up!
