40/40 Vision

Peter Greer

Mid-life is often marked by unhappiness and uncertainty, with a conflict between our expectations of our lives and the reality–life, as Solomon says, “under the sun.” Long term faithfulness with God depends on us living “above the sun,” a perspective that gives us true hope and purpose. One way this can be expressed is in relationships, which can be successful, constructive, and comforting when conducted with the reality of God's perspective.

A Model Church

Scott Risley

1 Thessalonians 1:1-8

The church described in 1 Thessalonians is a model church that we would do well to imitate because they were young and suffering but were happy. They were trusting God more every day and loving each other and those nearby in spite of their trials. They were clinging to their hope of eternity which gave them the ability to endure difficulties with joy.

Reason-Based Faith

Dennis McCallum

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10

God gave us the Bible so that we can make a reason-based decision to have faith in Jesus. He does not expect us believe based "on spiritual apprehension rather than proof." The Good News is backed by evidence, based on reasonable faith, and is free of charge.

The Breakdown of Faith

Conrad Hilario

Exodus 32-34

The God Who Makes Us Wait

James Rochford

Exodus 32:1-34:35

As the Israelites grew impatient, waiting for Moses to come down from the mountain, they demanded Aaron make them a golden calf to worship. God often makes us wait to hear from Him. The pressure of waiting can lead to spiritual growth or it can lead to idolatry.
