Christ and Caesar

The Bible tells us to be subject to the governing authorities. Likewise, we must obey God rather than men. In this tension lives the Christian. Where do we draw the line between proper obedience and godly disobedience? Join us as we discuss this pressing issue.

Practical Godliness

Nahum

Behold the feet of those who bring the good news of God's judgment! The prophet Nahum, speaking against ancient Assyria in the height of her power, proclaims a message of finding joy in the destruction of evil. Nahum also speaks to our own day, reminding us that injustice and sin will come to an end, because the Lord reigns over all the earth. Join us for a discussion of the book of Nahum and its meaning for the Christian today.

Cancel Culture

Cancel culture is a symptom of our troubled times. Talking about political issues rapidly becomes an attempt to silence someone else. How should Christians respond? What does it mean to have a good reputation? How do we uphold someone else's reputation? Join us for a lively discussion of these contemporary issues.

UFOs

Strange signs in the sky. Is it ancient Rome, 16th century Europe, or modern America? What do these things mean? Is it all a mere hoax, or is this something that the Christian should carefully discern? Join us as we open the X-Files and talk about the history of alien encounters and how the Christian must test the spirits to see whether they are from God.

Iconoclasm

The visual arts have been a source of controversy in church history.  Are there limits to what can be depicted?  Does the Bible prohibit the use of images?  Join us as we discuss the sometimes violent history of iconoclasm and the place of the visual arts in the Church.
