The Halfway Point

You may have faced this challenging question: how is someone with no access to biblical knowledge going to be judged? What is the significance of natural vs. special revelation? Doc and Bart tackle these questions and lay down some practical steps to rekindle your love of God's word.

Now that we know how we got the Christian Bible, why should we trust that it is the true word of God? What does living out this belief look like? Bart and Doc discuss the evidence and defense of scripture.

How did the 66 books of the Bible "make the cut" while other religious texts did not? What do we mean when we call scripture "inspired by God" and "inerrant"? In this episode pastors Nathan and Doc have a conversation that will give you a greater understanding of the "canon of scripture" and why it matters.

The Halfway Point returns! This season we dive deep into theology and cultural issues to equip believers for Jesus-glorifying, mission-centered lives outside of the walls of the church. In episode 3.1 Doc and Bart take a look at what theology is and how it matters in our daily walk with God.

Do you ever feel like the God of the Bible is too angry and vengeful? Is it contradictory to say God is love and at the same time full of wrath? Bart explains why wrath is so important to understanding God's love and mercy.

When our spiritual life isn't going so hot, sometimes our instinct is to try just a little harder, beat ourselves up a little more, and keep pushing toward being good enough to satisfy God. Nathan explains why we can't help ourselves, and how the truth is so much more encouraging.

Have you ever felt like God has abandoned you? Maybe you're going through a season of discouragement, doubt, and anxiety right now. Doc shows how to overcome these feelings and trust that the Creator of the universe cares deeply for you.

Everyone has experienced the pain of being hurt or wronged by another person. It's hard to forgive some of those things. Even impossible. Pastor Ryan joins us this week to show us how God gives us the ability to forgive the unforgivable.

It sounds like good advice. "Just follow your heart." But where does God say our hearts lead us?

Wouldn't a loving God want us to be happy? Is there something wrong with being happy? Maybe we're asking the wrong question.

We've all heard this phrase when we lose a loved one: "God gained another angel." It's a nice idea, but Doc shows how it's not true to God's word. But the truth is so much more encouraging.

The Halfway Point is back! In this series we're looking at 9 lies Christians believe, and the biblical truths that are so much better. This week our young adults pastor Jason Elvington looks at why the well-meaning quote "God won't give you more than you can handle" just isn't true.

This week Pastor Ryan wraps up our study of Psalm 119. When life puts you under pressure, can people see God at work in you? The Halfway Point will be back in December for a new series!

Psalm 119 is all about loving and following God's laws. What did Jesus mean when He said He came to fulfill the law? Our missions pastor Nathan joins us this week to explain what that means in our lives.

Do you feel like a spiritual failure right now? Do you think you'd finally measure up if you just tried a little harder? Good news: you can't. Doc and Bart explain in Psalm 119:137-144.

What would our lives look like if we really practiced a love for God's word? Pastor Ryan joins us this week to talk about Psalm 119:121-136.

What does it take to actually start craving God's Word? Bart and Doc dig into Psalm 119:97-120.

Nobody wants to suffer, but often there is a God-given purpose behind the pain. Doc and Bart continue in Psalm 119.

David was no stranger to "dark nights of the soul." How does God lead us through suffering? Doc and Bart continue in Psalm 119.

Pastor Ryan joins us this week to talk about David's complete dependence on God in Psalm 119.

How do we stay faithful when the spiritual high runs out? Bart and Doc continue in our study of Psalm 119.
