Statements We Make through Action or Inaction
Returning back to the subject of Sunday’s sermon (see link below), we are expanding today on the practical elements of loving God and others as well as being light amidst our communities. Join us as we use a recent article Pastor Daniel read as the springboard for today’s discussion. As always, we pray you are encourage and challenge to a great walk of faith and love for the Lord and other as we are in the Word together today. God…
Putting God First
Politics and religion. Talk about two very hot topics that we find classing in many arenas of our culture. The Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 13 that believers are to have a specific gospel-oriented response to this God-ordained institution. Join us this week as we explore more in depth on how believers should view and interact with the government in light of the gospel. We encourage you to view Sunday’s sermon if you haven’t had a chance to do…

Perspective Amidst Challenging Issues
As I was thinking about the vlog for today, my thoughts turned to the challenging issues that Pastor Paul covered last week and will be covering this coming Sunday (AI/Transhumanism and Cancel Culture). We as Christians can often be quick to fight immediately on these things in the political realm, to speak our voice “loudly” on social media. But as I thought on them further, I was overwhelmingly convicted with the need for us to step back for a moment…
God’s Restraints on Evil: Government & Church
As we finished up Romans 1, one of the questions we are left asking is whether or not God restrains evil at all in this world. If the world is as bad as Paul says it is, how do we account for the “good” we do see in the world? Today, we’ll discuss 2 of 4 different restraints God has placed in the world and the responsibility these elements call us to. Thanks for watching! “Mayday, Mayday! We’re Going Down!”…
Degrees of or Secondary Separation
On Sunday, we saw the Jews commitment to specific actions based upon hearing the Law. They understood the authority of God’s Word for their lives and as a matter of follow through committed to obedience. As we talked Sunday, obedience involves being both looking different and being set apart from the world. This week we’re looking at biblical and degrees of separation in light of our study of Nehemiah 10. Thanks for watching! “Because You…I Promise to…” (Neh 9-10) –…

Is the Christian Worldview Gone? (GPS Vlog #7)
Many years ago now, there as an uproar when former President Obama remarked that the U.S. was not a “Christian nation.” While there may have been a lot of resistance to this statement, two polling agencies discovered that he may not be far from the truth. Join us today as we explore the subject of worldviews and what present surveys tell us about the state of our nation and the church and the great responsibility and mission we have before…
CONNECTEDNESS (COMMUNITY IN THE LOCAL CHURCH) – PART 2
In this two part series, I want to explore the subject of feeling disconnected in the church. It’s a growing problem that research, polls, and simple observation is seeing. What’s the real issue? What ramifications does disconnectedness have? How can it be remedied? Tune in for each part as we answer those questions & more in exploring this issue.
AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY… (GENESIS 2)
We are finishing up the creation week today. Rested. That’s what God did on the seventh day, but it doesn’t mean that he slept. That word though is any important theme carried throughout the rest of Scripture and key when speaking of our salvation.

THE SPIRITUAL BATTLEGROUND
We often think of battle in a physical sense. Wars between nations or people groups. But there is a very real spiritual battle taking place every day, and it is located closer than we think. Understanding the where, may help us to gain greater perspective into the conflict we see around us, noticing the spiritual element.
GATHERED, EQUIPPING, MINISTERING ON PURPOSE
The church. A building with a tall steeple on the corner of “such & such” streets. That might be the common way that people think of the word “church”. Yet we see a very different picture in the Bible don’t we? In fact as we look at the word “church” in the New Testament as well as some of the ways it is pictures, we hit a number of very practical applications for us today as we explore this area…
ARE WE BECOMING SPIRITUAL NONES?
There is a growing population of what is now termed the “spiritual nones.” They are individuals who see Christianity in particular as harmful, as helpful but not a part of it, or are unaffiliated believers. I wonder though if there are more spiritual nones than the survey takes into account. We are suffering a “spiritual plight” in America where Christians are more and more identifying with the world than the Lord & Savior who bought them with his precious blood.…
LOVE IN ACTION (1 JOHN 4)
Love. It has often been defined by Hollywood but God gives us a better definition of what love is and then calls us to love. He calls us not just to an emotion though but to action which displays our love for one another. Read 1 John 4 and then take a moment to watch. 1 John 4 NET
WHY DO SO MANY CHRISTIANS NOT HAVE A BIBLICALLY CONSISTENT WORLDVIEW? (#ASKPD)
In this segment of #askpd, we explore this question: Why do so many Christians not have a consistent biblical worldview? It is a hard question to explore as it implies that some do not believe what the Bible says. Today, we’ll define what a worldview is, explore what negatively affects our worldview, give some solutions to this issues, and also answer why it’s important to have a consistent biblical worldview. Thanks for watching.
OUR COMMON BOND IN CHRIST (1 CORINTHIANS 1)
Sadly the church around the world and throughout time has experienced division. Often those cases revolve around personal preferences and matters of pride. Paul calls believers in 1 Corinthians 1 to unite together in their common bond in Christ. Take a moment to watch this and the important message for us in our present days as believers and our responses to one another. 1 Corinthians 1 NET
