Who is God? Psalm 19

The story of Uzzah's death for reaching out and touching the ark in 2 Samuel 6 is "hard theology". Any kind of human suffering on the part of people who are seemingly innocent challenges most theologies. This lesson explores lessons learned from this epidsode in David's life and how it affects our need to accept hard theologies.

Everyone Is A Theologian - we’re working topic by topic through the Transcend Church statement of faith and tenants of the faith. This week we look at Sin and Mankind to get an accurate view of our heart’s problem(s).

Thyatira: The Church of "tolerance"

Luke 6:17-49 There are many things going on in our world today. Some we struggle to make sense of those things. Theology of the New Era gives us insight into grounding our lives in God and the Bible. It shows us how to make sense of life and bring order to the seeming chaos.

Introducing The Book of Romans

We continue our study of the doctrine of the Trinity. Today, we talk about the hints of the doctrine in the Old Testament, and why it wasn't revealed until the New Covenant Scriptures.

Our introduction to the doctrine of the Trinity. We share the three foundational building blocks of the doctrine. We take a quiz together that explains the guardrails. We watch a funny video about how no analogy really explains the Trinity!

Whenever we begin a new series of sermons it is a noteworthy event because it doesn’t happen very often around here. These long sermon series go against conventional Church Growth wisdom. The Church growth experts tell us it is better to have short sermon series that focus on contemporary issues, such…

Referring to the whole of vv 3-5, Paul says that God has elected us, sanctified us, predestined us, and adopted us to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.

Your walk—your life—matters. Paul says, Walk worthy. Let your life manifest that you belong to the King of kings. Ask yourself, is my life is worthy of our Lord? This morning, see why and how you should walk worthy of your calling.

Verse 18 is the capstone of vv 11-18. Through Christ we have access to the Father. The word access speaks of the ability of one person in a lower status to have an introduction to someone of a higher status. We were made for communion. God’s Word teaches us that Christ is the one who has restored this communion. As we return one final time to this section of Ephesians, I want you to see three aspects of our access from v 18.

Paul shares that he is encouraged by the peoples' faith in Jesus Christ. Because of ministry commitments elsewhere, he cannot be physically present with the brethren but stresses that being together is paramount for the Church.

There is a connection between Passover and Good Friday which many seem to miss. Once we understand that the deliverance of Israel from Egypt was the forerunner of the final deliverance from sin and death, we will never look at Good Friday the same. However, Good Friday is not 'good' if you are not in Christ.

On Resurrection Sunday, Dr. Tony Costa preached a powerful sermon on the compelling Biblical, historical and entirely reliable evidence regarding the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Follow along with the slides that Dr. Costa is referencing here: https://faithlife.com/11909242/bulletins/149927170

Suffering is promised to the Christian. There is suffering because of the fallen state of humanity in general, and also because of a Christian's obedience to the commands of the King, Who the world hates. The same King Whose promises provide a Great Hope for the Christian but great trembling to those who oppose Him.

Many people forget that 'adoption' is not just a doctrine, but a term used to legally pronounce someone as a child belonging to another - with all rights and privileges as biological offspring. In this sermon, we discuss the great joy of walking in the Spirit and how our justification through faith in Christ establishes our glorious adoption as sons and daughters of The Most High God.

As the Christian starts to understand the concept of the potter and the clay, they realize that the right of sonship has less to do with the vessel which was prepared for honourable use and more to do with the potter who fashioned it for such a purpose. He is our Father, the potter; and all of us are the work of His sovereign hand.

As we close Romans 10, we learn that what God is doing is bigger than us. Being believers, one could become trapped in the same mindset as those in ancient Israel who had too narrow a focus. How do we prevent ourselves from developing that same kind of tunnel vision? By understanding the text.
