Pursuing The Path
Series: The Final HoursService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackAs Jesus continues to prepare His men for His impending departure, He again informs them that it's to their advantage that He goes away. On this occasion the advantage involves specific work that the Holy Spirit will do through them in His physical absence.
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackA week after Peter’s great confession regarding Jesus’ identity as the Christ, a unique event transpires to bolster the faith of the disciples. It was a moment when the eternal was able to break through as a trio of disciples are given a brief glimpse of who Jesus really was. This display of divine glory was intended to validate and reinforce every claim He had made about Himself—and it would leave an indelible mark on their faith.

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackDo you ever wonder what happened to the quiet and uncomplicated lifestyle of yesterday? Perhaps every generation has asked the same question. Getting caught up in the fast-forward mindset doesn’t take much effort these days, but when does faster become too fast? We’ll look at the example of Jesus along with some wisdom from the psalmist in hopes of gaining some reprieve from our hectic pace.
Series: The Final HoursService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackWe look at Jesus' words of warning about opposition His men will face as they continue His mission in the world.
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackIn his letters to four different churches Paul exhorts saints to live their lives in a manner that’s “worthy.” In other words, in ways that genuinely correspond to the tremendous value and cost of the salvation that had been so abundantly provided. But he doesn’t just give a general exhortation, he also includes some of the specifics elements that are entailed in doing so.
Series: The Final HoursService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackIn the first part of John 15 Jesus addressed the need of His disciples to abide in Him. In this section (vv. 12-17) Jesus now speaks to their need to love one another.
Series: The Final HoursService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackWe look at Jesus' prediction regarding Him being abandoned by His closest followers at a critical time in His mission...and their strong denials that they would ever do so.
Series: The Final HoursService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackWe continue our look at Jesus' predictions regarding the disciples' abandonment of Him at a time He needed them most--and their self-confident assertions in response.
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackGuilt is a powerful thing that we all experience. When left unresolved it causes numerous physical and mental problems, as well as impairing relationships (both with God and others). For 3000 years this psalm of David has instructed sinners regarding the importance of repentance, the extent of God’s grace, and the joy of forgiveness. It’s here we discover seven elements that are characteristic of the heart heaven seeks.

Series: The Final HoursService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackJesus' message about His imminent departure has left His men feeling apprehensive and insecure. Thus, in John 14 Jesus looks to calm their troubled hearts by pointing out the important advantages that they would experience as a result of His departure.
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackIf we’re going to serve God faithfully in this world it demands that, in a sense, we leave it. As long as the things of this world matter most to us, we remain earthly and secular. It’s only when we push our inner man away from this world, becoming bystanders in it as opposed to participants of it, that we become heavenly and spiritual. Paul’s message in these verses is simple and it helps equip us to live above while we’re still below.
Series: The Final HoursService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackWe conclude our look at John 14, which chronicles Jesus' efforts to calm the hearts of His men after disclosing His impending departure to them.
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackA paradox is a statement or situation that appears contradictory, yet both elements are not only valid, but reveals a deeper truth. Christianity is marked by several of them and in this passage Paul focuses on three. What Paul’s opponents pointed to as disqualifiers of his apostleship, he lists here as his credentials. These things were not only vital to Paul’s effectiveness in the 1st century, but they’re essential to ours in the 21st as well.
Series: The Final HoursService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackAs Jesus continues His farewell discourse He employs the familiar metaphor of about a vine, branches, and fruit. His objective is to teach His men (and us) about the importance of always remaining connected to our Savior--and the benefits that come as a result.
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackIf there was just one thing that God wanted us to know about Him, it may well involve the attribute of His holiness. Not only is it a chief quality of God in Scripture, but all of His other characteristics are controlled and permeated by this one. Here God’s prophet has a vision of God that impresses upon him this aspect of God’s person—and there is much for us to learn from what Isaiah sees and hears.

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackIn our language small words can often make a big difference. That’s also true in the Bible where seemingly insignificant terms can reveal profound truths. One such case involves the preposition “in.” It t’s used numerous times by Paul to describe the close union and deep personal connection Christians have to Jesus. We’ll be talking about how one gets “into Christ.”

Series: The Final HoursService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackHaving secured the upper room, Jesus gathers with His men to partake of the Passover. But in the midst of the meal an argument erupts over which of the disciples is the greatest. As Jesus presents the truth of His kingdom He takes the world's view and turns it on its head.
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackHuman biography remains one of the most effective ways of learning. God seems to understand that as throughout His word we find numerous examples those who walked by faith. While Joshua may not make your “top 10” favorite Bible characters, he stands out as a remarkable model of faith and obedience. We’ll take a deeper look at the stages of this great man’s life and see the lessons we can take away from them.
Series: The Final HoursService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackFollowing the dispute among the disciples regarding which one was the greatest, Jesus quietly gets up, dons the apparel of a slave, and washes the feet of the 12. To this point in His ministry His teaching about the importance of humlity and service have fallen on deaf ears. Perhaps His own demonstration of remarkable humility will hit home?
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackThe task of parenting, and in particular the role of a father, is one for which all of us are ill-prepared. Children don’t arrive with instruction labels, but there is a resource that can supply us with vital precepts and principles. As we think about dads we’ll focus our time on five facts about fatherhood that will help equip us for this important role God that has given.

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackWhen it comes to our choices in the spiritual realm, it can be challenging to find the balance between the extremes of legalism and license. Though they are vastly different, they each flow out of much the same motive—not having to think about anything. But Christianity is a “thinking” endeavor and that’s certainly true when it comes to our pursuit of holiness.

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackOne of the most familiar passages and greatest texts in the entire Bible is tucked away in a remote corner of the book of Numbers. These words, originally spoken by Aaron to Israel, have been in the minds and on the lips of God’s people across centuries of time. Sadly, familiarity can often cause us to take something for granted, and as a result miss out on the wonderful truths being communicated.
Series: The Final HoursService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackWe finish our look at Jesus' attempts to change Judas' mind regarding betrayal before introducing His instruction regarding the Lord's Supper
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackGenuine transformation by way of the gospel doesn’t involve a remodeling of the outside, but rather a change that takes place from the inside out—a kind of heart transplant. In fact, any changes that ignore the heart will never result in true transformation. Though it may seem real, it’s merely cosmetic and thus temporary. A wonderful benefit of the gospel is its ability to make our hearts completely new.
Series: The Final HoursService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackWe take a look at Jesus' teaching regarding the institution of the Lord's Supper.
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackThere are two dangerous extremes that must be avoided when it comes to our behaving like saints. One is to use our human frailties as an excuse to dismiss any guilt before God; the other is for us to think it means being perfect by way of our own power. Both are the result of a misunderstanding in regard to sanctification. This morning we’ll delve deeper into this important topic.

In the lists of both Timothy and Titus we see the emphasis placed on quality. This morning we'll take a brief look at the things which reflect a flock lending support to those who have charge over them.

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackThe Bible is filled with accounts of evil people who were committed to ungodly lifestyles and the destruction of God's people. Often they are contrasted with the faithful who choose to walk in obedience to God, and such is the case in this brief song. Here the psalmist speaks to us about the battle of good versus evil-and he invites us to choose the kind of life we will pursue.

Such is the case in the opening chapters of Exodus. Perceiving the growing nation of Israel to be a threat, Pharaoh enslaves and oppresses them the people of God. It's in a context of despair that we find a baby boy being born to a courageous and creative mother. Though she will have only a few years with him, this mother's influence on her son will guide him the remainder of his life.
