The Mind of Christ

Dennis McCallum
Ephesians 3:14-18

When we meet Christ, there are many things that become true of us now that we are a child of God. The Bible talks about that we have the mind of Christ. We can understand spiritual truths in a different way. Paul explains more on this topic when he addresses the church in Corinth as they are faced with the wisdom of God versus the wisdom of the world.

Understanding the "Backward Wisdom of God"

Scott Risley
1 Corinthians 2:6-16

The wisdom of the world and the wisdom of God are compared and contrasted. In many cases, the wisdom of God is completely opposite from the common assumptions on how to treat enemies, how to deal with loneliness and how to find meaning in life. The role of the Holy Spirit includes helping us understand the Bible, how to pray and transforming us from the inside out.

Bow Down!

Dennis McCallum
Daniel 3:1-4:37

Two Ways to Contribute to Your Church's Health

Gary DeLashmutt
Galatians 3:24

It is easy to develop a consumer mentality when it comes to church. The Bible prescribes a different way. Instead of taking, we can be part of contributing to a church community. This includes properly understanding the role of God's law and also to appreciate God's grace.

Subverting the System

Conrad Hilario
Jeremiah 29:10-14

The prophet Daniel writes his book to the nation of Israel for the purpose of demonstrating the mighty power of prayer, restoring God's splendor, and providing hope through predictive prophecy. In chapter one, we see Daniel enter King Nebuchadnezzar's service. Instead of giving in to pressure to completely conform to Babylonian culture, Daniel maintains his devotion to the Lord while also faithfully serving the king. We can look to Daniel as an example of obedience to God in the heart of a culture hostile toward Him.

Lot: Living a Life of Compromise

James Rochford
Genesis 19

Instead of focusing on God, Lot focused his eyes on materialism and the prospect of wealth when he chose to move his family and herds toward Sodom. As a result, he compromised his faith which led to the creation of the Moabites and Ammonites, enemies of Israel, through his own daughters.

Nimrod and Babylon

Conrad Hilario
Genesis 11:1

Babylon symbolizes the human achievement of unity, suppression of diversity, and technological achievement apart from God. It is the effort of humans to find meaning in their lives apart from God. As a result, the achievement never satisfies because only God can give us significance.
