Biblical Introspection

Ryan Lowery

2 Corinthians 13:5

Paul defends himself against lies charged to him as he calls the Corinthians to look inward and consider what they really believe. Are they willing to respond to God's truth and His promptings for change? Or are they willing to accept lies? Introspection can lead to paralysis by analysis, but we're called to serve others by looking inward at how God wants to grow and challenge us.

The Spiritual Battle, Part 1

Ryan Lowery

Genesis 3:1-5

In this section, Paul describes spiritual warfare, a battle not fought with physical weapons, but with ideas and arguments. There are two sides, each presenting itself as the origin of truth: God and his enemy Satan. The implications of this battle extend beyond physical life and death, so we must decide if we will choose to believe God and His truth, or rebel against Him.

Ministers of a New Covenant

Ryan Lowery

2 Corinthians 3:18

The Corinthians have been questioning Paul's authority and credentials to speak into their lives. Paul tells this church that its members are his credentials ? the way he loved them and led them to God and not himself is his proof that he speaks truth. Paul records four ways that we can know whether or not we should listen to a person's insight. We must ask: 1) from whom do they take their confidence, 2) where do they get their adequacy, 3) are they a servant, and 4) do they rely on the Spirit or the Law?

Loving Muslims in an Age of Terrorism (Part 3) - Speaking Like Jesus - Sharing Your Faith with Muslims

Fouad Masri

John 1:4-41

In order to speak like Jesus when sharing our faith with Muslims, we need some basic attitudes and foundational knowledge. We are called to be ambassadors for Christ, to be loving, which means that we also show respect. We are called to be friendly, to create a friendly environment when sharing about Jesus instead of arguing or criticizing. We then seek to use bridges to help move Muslims to understand key truths about Jesus. Finally, our approach must be Bible-based, drawing on the power of God's Word. As we focus on these principles and examine how Christ spoke to those who did not know him, we can gain insight for our own communication and learn to build more effective bridges to the Gospel.

Loving Muslims in an Age of Terrorism (Part 1) - Violence and Hope in the Middle East

Fouad Masri

Matthew 28:18-29

In an age of terrorism, many questions emerge about the Islamic faith. There are vast numbers of Muslims in our world today, and we should seek both to understand their faith as well as to share the love of Christ with them, rather than drawing back in response to violence that may be displayed in the media. This workshop explores the Islamic concept of jihad and its relation with terrorism, as well as other key beliefs of Islam. God is at work in the Muslim world, and we can participate in Christ's mission here.
