Dispensationalism

Dispensationalism is a major force in American Christianity, producing movies and books that affect even the unbelieving world.

Join us as we discuss issues of interpreting the Bible and the subtle dangers behind dispensationalist thought.

Preaching Christ: Chrysostom on Wealth and Poverty

The Letters of Revelation

Most people focus on the strange symbols and pictures of Revelation, but the book begins with a focus on practical concerns. John wrote the book of Revelation not as a puzzle, but as a comfort for the congregations he addresses in its opening chapters. What do we know about the seven churches of Revelation? How do their concerns and troubles speak to us today? He who has an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

From Councils to Winkels

It is not simply pleasant when brothers dwell in unity. It is also good. When pastors are in accord, it is good for holding off the attacks of the devil, for building up God's people, and for strengthening the mission of the church. How have local councils and pastoral synods historically served the unity of the church? How do today's pastoral conferences and circuit meetings fit into this picture? Join us as we consider the importance of unity at the local level.
