Pursuing The Path
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackThe books of Kings and Chronicles are often relegated to the forgotten realm of the Bible. In reality, they play a vital role in God’s revelation as they trace the downward spiral of a nation. On their pages we find the remarkable story of Josiah, a king of deep commitment who chose to walk with God in the midst of a toxic environment. Of Judah’s final seven monarchs, he stands as the only good king—and thus as Judah’s last hope.
Series: God's Unlikely SpokesmanService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackWe finish our look at the 3rd sermon of Amos and begin a study of the 5 visions that folow in Amos 7--9.

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackAs we consider the remarkable and God-given role of mothers, we’ll focus our attention on a woman who only had one child, yet the Bible declares her to be the mother of a multitude of people—including every Christian present this morning. That makes this mom one of the most prominent in all of human history. Like everyone in Scripture, she’s revealed warts and all, but she’s also shown to be someone in whom faith eventually triumphed.
Series: God's Unlikely SpokesmanService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackWe look at Amos' third and final sermon. Here the prophet changes tactics in hopes of bringing at least a remnant back to the Lord.

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackWherever you have people you will inevitably have problems as people will, from time to time, disagree. Because of that, it would be wise to prepare ourselves by learning how to resolve matters in a biblical way. That’s precisely what we find in this section when a significant issue arises—an issue that could easily split the church in two. There are some valuable lessons here to aid us in our pursuit of unity.
Series: God's Unlikely SpokesmanService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackWe look at Amos' second sermon contained in chapter 4. Here the prophet not only addresses their sinful indulgence, but their sinful worship as well. We also find a number of attempts by God to compel them to return to Him.

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackOften our lives mirror the actions of a juggler as we attempt to keep several things not only “airborne,” but in their proper places. Though Jesus had been sent on the most important mission in all of human history, His ability to remain calm in a chaotic world can be traced to His decision to “leave spaces” in His life. There’s much to learn that’s relevant for us today!
Series: God's Unlikely SpokesmanService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackWe'll wrap up our look at Amos' first sermon found in chapter 3. Here we're reminded of an important truth. Though we face a number of spiritual enemies, here Israel teaches us that the most dangerous situation is when we become enemies of God.

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackJust as our heart pumps life-giving blood to every other part of our body, the truth of the resurrection gives life to every facet of the gospel. The empty tomb serves as the pivot point upon which all of Christianity turns, thus it stands as our ultimate hope. Though the significance of this event is revealed in several passages, the most extensive treatment comes from the pen of Paul to the church at Corinth.
Series: Amos: God's Unlikely SpokesmanService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackIn our lesson we'll conclude our look at the oracles of the opening two chapters before moving into the prophet's first "sermon" in Amos 3. Here the prophet declares that God has become Israel's enemy, and therefore judgment is looming.
Series: One Another PassagesService: WedType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Don Hensley
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackThe Bible describes it as “the world” and God’s spokesmen routinely exhort us to not allow that world to shape us into its mold. Sometimes the world attacks us head on, while other times it takes a more subtle approach. Either way, we sometimes find ourselves unduly influenced by it. What are some practical steps we can take to strengthen our resolve to stand, rather than falling prey to the world around us?
Series: One Another PassagesService: WedType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Don Hensley
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackThroughout the OT the focus is almost entirely on the nation of Israel. As a result of God’s choice of them, the Jews developed a belief that His will for them demanded that they remain aloof from all those outside of Judaism. Centuries of this made it necessary for the Lord to take drastic steps with the gospel beginning with a centurion named Cornelius. Standing between him and salvation was a massive wall of Jewish prejudice that needed to be torn down.
Series: God's Unlikely SpokesmanService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackHaving indicted 6 foreign naitons for their sin, through His prophet God now hits much closer to home by declaring His judgment on Judah and Israel. Unlike the previous nations who had no direct revelation from God, these two kingdoms had been blessed in that realm. And with great privilege comes great responsibility.
Series: One Another PassagesService: WedType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Don Hensley
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackIt’s a classic question—how do I get from here to there? Though it can be applied to a variety of realms, the spiritual arena is of greatest importance. How do I get from where I currently am to where God wants me to be? Peter answers that question, not by giving us a sterile list, but providing us with some clear and practical advice.

Series: Amos: God's Unlikely SpokesmanService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackThe book of Amos begins with all the terror of a lion's roar as God unlikely spokesman speaks of judgment upon 8 different nations (we'll only look at the first 5 in this lesson). Each one is guilty of sins against their fellow man and God promises a judgment of fire. But these prophecies against other nations aren't just communicating general lessons about sin, they are part of Amos' strategy to convince Israel of her own guilt.

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackThe number of hospitals, clinics, and counseling centers attests to the prevalence of sickness and suffering in our world. But all of the emphasis on physical and mental healing can cause us to lose sight of a much greater priority—spiritual healing. Immediately following their rescue through the Red Sea the nation of Israel faces a challenge that tests their faith. Sadly, they fail the test, but in the process God identifies Himself as their Healer.
Series: Amos: God's Unlikely SpokesmanService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackThe lesson is an introduction to the minor prophet, Amos.

Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: James MillerWhile the story of Naboth’s vineyard in 1 Kings 21 is one of the more well-known passages in the book, its principal lesson lies in contrasting it with what the biblical authors chose to ignore instead.

Series: Spirits of FearService: WedType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Matt King
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackMany today are choosing individualism and isolation over community and sharing. Thus, the need may be greater than ever for the world to see an alternative way of living. The “church” is not an event, a building, or an organization, but a community of believers who are not only committed to God, but to doing life together with other saints. Beginning with Acts 2:42 Luke’s narrative shifts from the events of Pentecost to a description of the inner life of this new community of people—church at its very best.
Series: Embracing Our Identity as SonsService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackWe conclude both our study of sonship in general, as well as our look at the specific aspect of adoption from Galatians 4 and Romans 8.
Series: Spirits of FearService: WedType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Matt King
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackWhat do you do when trouble comes upon you? Where do you turn when you face times of crisis? A lot of people today look in all of the wrong places, but this song of David not only tells us where to turn, but he provides important instruction on what to do. Because we’re not told the specific circumstance that prompted him to write this, it allows us to apply the song to a number of our own experiences.
Series: Enbracing Our Identity as SonsService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackWe move to the metaphor of adoption, which is not used as prominently as one might suppose. Found just 5 times and exlcusive to the writings of Paul, this image is taken from the Roman world and it conveys some powerful truths for us.
Series: Spirits of FearService: WedType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Jared Rogers
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackFear can be a surprisingly powerful motivator. Though I understand God is not wanting us to live lives marked by abject fear, there is great spiritual danger when we experience no fear at all. A lack of it can cause us to take things like security and assurance to an unbiblical extreme. If it is possible for a Christian to fall from grace and lose their salvation (and the Bible says it is), then a healthy fear of God can be a good thing, motivating us to continued faithfulness and growth.
Series: Embracing Our Identity as SonsService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackAs we continue our look at sonship we take a look at passages within 3 New Testament books that focus on our theme.
Series: Spirits of FearService: WedType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Matt King
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: Terry SlackBecause light and darkness are universal experiences, biblical writers and even the Lord Himself often employed this pair of images to convey spiritual truth. In His words and His works Jesus demonstrated Himself to be the Son of God, yet most closed their eyes and stopped their ears. It wasn't a case of insufficent light, but a matter of choosing to remain in darkness. In this section Jesus makes it clear that if we're unable to see Him clearly, the problem lies with us and not Him.
Series: Embracing Our Identity as SonsService: Sun PMType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Terry SlackWe wrap up our look at the sonship of Jesus and our own sonship in the writings of John the apostle.
