Put Your Hope in God, Not Money

Scott Risley

1 Timothy 6:2-21

People seek material gain to have a feeling of contentment in their lives and our culture perpetuates it. We are only trying to fill the God-sized hole in our own hearts. But God has delivered the ultimate fulfillment in the form of Christ's gift of eternal life.

Escaping Avarice

Dennis McCallum

1 Timothy 6:5-19

Paul instructs Timothy to teach the wealthy how to be wise with their money. Instead of investing in temporal things, Paul encourages the wealthy to invest in eternal things that will not be destroyed. In doing so, godly character becomes a more worthy possession than anything else a person could ever own.

Introduction

Gary DeLashmutt

1 Corinthians 1:18-30

Key biblical teachings often strike us as contrary to common sense, counter-intuitive, or even foolish. This is because it is actually our thinking about major areas of life that is backward. Ultimately, at the center of the backwards wisdom of God is the cross.

Avoiding Capture

Scott Risley

Colossians 2:8-23

There are three common wrong turns Christians make when it comes to growing with God: 1) formalism, 2) mysticism, and 3) legalism. When we relate to God with a list of rules, emphasize spiritual experiences or outward service, we are prone to miss growing with God.

Avoiding Capture

Ryan Lowery

2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Paul is warning and encouraging the Christians in Colossae of the ideas competing for their faith and how to avoid being captured. Four ways to avoid being captured by false ideologies: 1) come to Christ; 2) assess your own vulnerabilities; 3) walk by grace in faith; 4) stay rooted in the Word and community. The love of God changes and motivates our hearts. Evaluate what motivates you to follow God and His ways. Be moved by what His love has done. His love is a safeguard to legalism and worship of self.\r\n

Mystery Babylon

Dennis McCallum

Revelation 17:1-18:24

John's vision continues with three "impure spirits" going into the world and gathering people for battle. Meanwhile, the seventh bowl is poured out, and natural disasters rip through the earth. God's wrath is unleashed on those who follow Satan and commit spiritual adultery. An angel explains the mystery of Babylon, walking John through the imagery used around her (Babylon): she presents a false unity and gets people to waste their lives and die. She will eventually fall, showing that the only lasting kind of unity is with God.

Fallen, Fallen is Babylon

Scott Risley

Revelation 16:13-19:7

The city of Babylon was defined in the Old Testament by greed, selfishness, violence, and idolatry. In the book of Revelation, Babylon has the same characteristics, along with being predicted to lead the rest of the world astray have a direct link with the Beast. Here, John identifies Babylon as both the World System (kosmos) and a harlot whose toxic ways we should avoid at all costs. He describes a day of justice when Babylon will be judged for their sins and be cast into the sea.

The Beast(s)

Dennis McCallum

Revelation 13:1-18

Three Beasts emerge in the next part of John's vision. The roles of the first Beast are reinforced by prophecy from Daniel, including his humanity, his total world dominion, and the abomination of desolation. The Beast will persecute the people of God, but will ultimately be destroyed by Christ when he returns. The course of history that would allow these predictions is dissected, and the possibility of this prophecy becomes clear.

The Two Foundations

Jim Leffel

Matthew 7:24-27

How do you know your foundation? Jesus speaks on the lives of people who build their foundation; either those who live by his words, or those whose foundation is on shifting sands that can't hold up to lifes' turmoil. Are you building your foundation on your possessions or on your status? We can build on a foundation of rock which is based on God's love, truth, and grace.
