What does it look like to follow Jesus in a world that often pulls us in the opposite direction? In this five-week series on 1 Peter, we're walking through a chapter a week as we explore how hope in Christ gives us the strength to live differently—set apart in holiness, anchored in something unshakable, no matter what comes our way.As we wrap up the series with this message, we see how Peter in chapter 5 is preparing us to fight three distinct battles as young adults desiring to follow Jesus: 1) the battle of pride vs. humility, 2) the battle of anxiety vs. trust, and 3) the battle of the schemes of the Devil vs. spiritual victory.We hope you're encouraged by this podcast!

In this five-week series on 1 Peter, we're walking through a chapter a week as we explore how hope in Christ gives us the strength to live differently—set apart in holiness, anchored in something unshakable, no matter what comes our way.This week, we look at what may be one of the most controversial and confusing passages in the Bible in 1 Peter 3. But, as we remember the overall point of Peter's letter - our hope for the future changes how we live today - we see in this chapter that because of our hope in God: 1) We're called to holiness in our marriages, 2) We're called to holiness in our words, and 3) We have been brought to God.We hope you're encouraged by this podcast!

What does it look like to follow Jesus in a world that often pulls us in the opposite direction? In this five-week series on 1 Peter, we're walking through a chapter a week as we explore how hope in Christ gives us the strength to live differently—set apart in holiness, anchored in something unshakable, no matter what comes our way. In this first message, we're diving into 1 Peter 1, where Peter reminds us that our hope isn't found in success, comfort, or circumstances, but in an inheritance that will never fade. When we truly understand this, it changes how we live, how we face challenges, and how we reflect Christ to the world around us. We hope you're encouraged by this podcast!

In Psalm 1, we get the picture of the person who is righteous and walking with God being like a healthy tree, planted in the ground by a stream, with roots going deep down in the rich soil towards the water, weathering whatever storms come, and bearing sweet fruit in season. This is how God made us and wants us to live. In our lives, we grow closer to Him by growing deeper. So in this series, we're looking at three ways - otherwise known as “spiritual disciplines” - that we can grow deeper and closer in our relationship with God by being rooted in Him.In this message, we wrap up our series by looking at the spiritual discipline of rest. As young adults, we're desperate for it in our culture, so where do we find it, why do we need it, and how can we live a restful life? Those are the questions we look to the Bible to answer as we aim to live with healthy rhythms of work and rest.We hope you're encouraged by this podcast!

In this first message, we take a look at what the Bible says about prayer. It's such a huge topic, but in this one parable Jesus taught in Luke 11, He very clearly answers for us the three main questions about prayer: 1) what is it (really), 2) why should we do it, and 3) how should we do it. In answering these questions, we can start to build this practice into our lives not for the sake of earning God's favor, but just because we want to spend time with Him and see Him move in our lives.

Some of the most important questions of existence are, “Who is God?,” and, “What is He like? What is His relationship towards humanity?” Thoughts of God are the highest our minds could comprehend, the highest subject of our conversations, the most important, driving force behind how we live our lives. And specifically, the question every young adult in Central Arkansas is asking themselves right now is, “If the God of the Bible is the One True God, why should that matter for my life?”So, in this series, we're seeking to experience a closer personal relationship with God because we better understand what He's really like; His nature, character, attributes, and bent towards us. In this message, we take a look at the attribute of God that is the foundation for all the rest: His goodness. If God is good, then it means all that is good comes from Him, He alone can satisfy, and He has done something about the existence of evil.We hope you're encouraged by this podcast!

Some of the most important questions of existence are, “Who is God?,” and, “What is He like? What is His relationship towards humanity?” Thoughts of God are the highest our minds could comprehend, the highest subject of our conversations, the most important, driving force behind how we live our lives. And specifically, the question every young adult in Central Arkansas is asking themselves right now is, “If the God of the Bible is the One True God, why should that matter for my life?” So, in this series, we're seeking to experience a closer personal relationship with God because we better understand what He's really like; His nature, character, attributes, and bent towards us. In this message, we're addressing the attribute of God that probably sparks more questions than any other: His sovereignty. We hope you're encouraged by this podcast! If you have questions about our church or what it means to follow Jesus, we'd love to hear from you!

In this program, guest teacher Tim Lundy begins studying the four specific times angels appeared in the Christmas story with a special message.

As a follower of Jesus, what should you do if you are invited to a wedding for a same-sex couple? What if someone asks you to use their personal pronouns? In this program, Chip and Pastor Tim Lundy continue wrestling with these real-life challenges that Christians face. Learn how to practically apply the truth and wisdom of God's Word in your home, workplace, and community.Main Points Purpose of Addressing Controversial Issues: Tim's Motivation: Tim's engagement with heavy issues like sexuality and LGBTQ topics is driven by pastoral concern rather than a desire for controversy. He sees a need to address these issues due to the prevalence of false teachings and questions from families and teenagers. His goal is to shepherd families and present truth in a straightforward manner. Handling Difficult Conversations with Children: Listening and Grace: Tim emphasizes the importance of listening to children who come out as LGBTQ. Parents should create a space where their children feel heard, and they should express love and support while balancing grace with truth. He stresses that while the church and the family have a responsibility to uphold Biblical truth, they must also navigate the tension between their beliefs and their children's identities with grace. Understanding and Communicating the Gospel: Gospel's Radical Grace: Tim explains that the Gospel is about Christ's grace despite our sin. He argues that salvation is not about moral perfection but about the transformative work of Christ. The question of whether LGBTQ individuals can be Christians should be framed in the context of the broader Gospel message, which applies to all sin, not just homosexuality. No Barriers, No Compromise: Tim advocates for no barriers to coming to Christ, meaning people should not be expected to "clean up" their lives before embracing the Gospel. However, he also stresses the importance of not compromising on Biblical teachings and encouraging growth in righteousness. Feedback and Reactions: Mixed Reactions: Tim received feedback from different sides of the spectrum. Some felt his approach endorsed LGBTQ lifestyles, while others were uncomfortable with his stance on not compromising on moral issues. He views this pushback as an indication of addressing the issues clearly and effectively. Broader Context of Sin and the Church's Focus: Consistency in Addressing Sin: Tim and Chip discuss the Church's tendency to focus on certain sins, like homosexuality, while neglecting others, such as pornography or adultery. They stress the need for a consistent approach to all forms of sin, emphasizing that all sin separates people from God and that the Gospel offers restoration to all. Attending a Gay Wedding: Gray Area: The question of whether to attend a gay wedding is seen as a gray area rather than black and white. Tim suggests that while the Bible is not explicitly clear on this issue, principles from passages like Romans 14-16 about gray areas in faith should be applied. Conscience and Relationship: Decisions should be guided by one's conscience and the nature of the relationship. Some Christians may attend a wedding as a gesture of love and maintaining a relationship, while others may choose not to if it seems to endorse the union as a Christian marriage. Objective: The focus should be on whether attending is for the sake of the Gospel or to avoid family tension. The intention should be clear and genuine, not just about making peace. Using Personal Pronouns for Transitioning People: Cultural Impact: Some view using preferred pronouns as supporting a cultural shift that they believe distorts truth. Others, particularly in therapeutic settings, see respecting pronouns as a way to build trust with those experiencing gender dysphoria. Context Matters: In professional settings, Christians may need to navigate these issues carefully, balancing their beliefs with their role as salt and light in the workplace. Tim suggests using names instead of pronouns as a middle ground while remaining respectful. Hosting a Gay Couple Overnight: Consistency: It's important to be consistent with biblical standards. If you apply a standard for gay couples, ensure the same standard applies to heterosexual situations. Teaching Children: Explain your stance to children appropriately, helping them understand why certain behaviors are not accepted while showing love to those who differ. Pornography: Destructive Nature: Pornography is described as highly destructive, affecting mental health and relationships deeply. It has the same addictive properties as drugs and causes significant harm to marriages and individual well-being. Need for Help: Overcoming pornography addiction typically requires external help and community support. Tim emphasizes the importance of not facing this struggle alone and highlights church programs like Warrior Men and Journey Women that offer support. General Encouragement: Cultural Challenges: Despite the fast-changing cultural landscape, Christians should not be afraid. Historical examples show that faith can thrive in countercultural settings. Hope and Grace: Emphasis is placed on the availability of God's grace and the importance of seeking help, especially when dealing with heavy burdens like addiction.

Is gender a fluid concept or a fixed statement? Are you born a man or a woman, or do you get to choose? In this program, guest teacher Pastor Tim Lundy looks to Scripture for answers to these questions that so many people in society are wrestling with. Hear why a Bible-based sexual ethic offers hope and genuine love from a God who made men and women in His image.Main Points Introduction: As Christians, our approach to sex and gender must be marked by grace and truth. When approaching transgender issues, we protect against the ideology while still caring about the individual. -John 10:11-12; Luke 15:4 Understanding the terms: Sex: Refers to a person's biological status and is typically categorized as male, female, or intersex. Gender: The psychological, social, and cultural aspects of being male or female. Gender Dysphoria: Distress some people feel when their internal sense of self doesn't match their biological sex. (Early onset, Late / Adolescent onset, and Rapid onset gender dysphoria) Transgender: An umbrella term that describes people whose gender identity or expression does not match the sex they were assigned at birth. What does the Bible say? (Sprinkle, pages 63-77) The body is essential to our image-bearing status. -Genesis 1:27 Male and female in Genesis 1 are categories of sex, not gender. -Genesis 1:28a Adam and Eve's bodies are viewed as sacred. -Genesis 2:21-22 Jesus views Genesis 1-2 as normative. -Matthew 19:4-5 Paul sees the body as significant for moral behavior and correlates the body to personhood. -1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Romans 6:13 Scripture prohibits cross-sex behavior. -Deuteronomy 22:5; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 The incarnation of Christ affirms the goodness of our sexed embodiment. -Colossians 2:9 Sex difference probably remains after the resurrection. -Luke 20:35-36; Romans 8:11; 1 John 3:2 Jesus' acceptance of the eunuch is not a pattern for understanding gender identity. -Matthew 19:12 Paul's reference to neither “male or female” does not overturn sex differences. -Galatians 3:28 Summary points and next steps: Biological sex and gender are linked together and important to God's design. Instead of transitioning, we should help people accept their bodies as part of their God-given identity. Recognize the unique struggle for Christians who suffer with Gender Dysphoria. As a church, we must strive to create a safe place where all people can find and follow Jesus. Avoid defining gender according to stereotypes and embrace the diversityof expression in God's design. We must confront the lies of the current ideology because it is destroying lives. We must never lose sight of the individual that Christ loves no matter how their lives have been impacted by sin.

Male. Female. Gender. What do these terms mean in the context of our changing society? In this program, guest teacher Pastor Tim Lundy focuses on the newest and probably most complicated aspect of today's sexual ethic: transgenderism. Hear what the Bible says about this pressing issue that is impacting countless families everywhere.Main Points Introduction: As Christians, our approach to sex and gender must be marked by grace and truth. When approaching transgender issues, we protect against the ideology while still caring about the individual. -John 10:11-12; Luke 15:4 Understanding the terms: Sex: Refers to a person's biological status and is typically categorized as male, female, or intersex.

The 21st-century church has become so divided over the issue of homosexuality. Whole denominations of Christians have split apart about whether to include or exclude same-sex couples. So, in this program, guest teacher Pastor Tim Lundy goes to the Bible for clarity. He also talks to those struggling with same-sex attractions and encourages the body of Christ to better respond to those in the gay and lesbian community.Main Points 7 Places in Scripture where homosexuality is mentioned: Rescue of Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah. -Genesis 19 Levite and his concubine. -Judges 19 Leviticus 18:22 Leviticus 20:13 Understanding the Law today (Moral – Civil – Ceremonial) Romans 1:26-27 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 1 Timothy 1:8-11 Summary from the passages: Sexual intimacy between same-sex partners is condemned in the direct passages of Scripture. Sexual intimacy between same-sex partners is never portrayed in a positivelight in the Bible. There is no Biblical warrantfor same-sex marriage. If homosexuality is not permitted biblically, then why are some people attracted to the same sex? Christian and secular experts continue to grapple with the issue of causality. The impact of the fall cannot be underestimated in the ways it has shaped humanity. -Romans 5:12 Is it sinful to have same-sex desires? God never tempts us – It always comes from the world, the flesh, and the devil. Jesus was tempted as we are, so temptationis not sin. -Hebrews 4:15 When we allow our desire to cross the line to thoughts or actions contrary to God's design, we have sinned. -James 1:13-15 How have Christians with same-sex desires chosen to live out their faith? Celibacy: A choice of devotion to Christ. Marriage (Heterosexual): A choice of self-denial for Christ. Kinship Partnerships: Nonsexual intimacy with others. Transformation: Nothing is impossible with God. How should we respond as a church? We can love all people knowing that it is not our responsibility to judge them. -1 Corinthians 5:9-10, 12 In the context of relationship, ask: “May I introduce you to Jesus?” We must continue to speak the truth in love to those in the church, calling all of us to the sexual standards of Scripture. We must support and celebrateour brothers and sisters in Christ who struggle with same-sex attraction, but are choosing to pattern their lives according to Scripture. We must develop a more robust understanding and celebration of single adults in the church. We must open our homes and families to those who are longing for community and were promised it in the church.

There is a lot of confusion inside the church about how to address homosexuality. Is it still wrong today? Or should Christianity relax its stance on this issue to be more loving? In this program, guest teacher Pastor Tim Lundy provides an in-depth look at what the Bible says about same-sex relationships. Learn where this issue of homosexuality stands under the light of Scripture.Main Points 7 Places in Scripture where homosexuality is mentioned: Rescue of Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah. -Genesis 19 Levite and his concubine. -Judges 19 Leviticus 18:22 Leviticus 20:13 Understanding the Law today (Moral – Civil – Ceremonial) Romans 1:26-27 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 1 Timothy 1:8-11 Summary from the passages: Sexual intimacy between same-sex partners is condemned in the direct passages of Scripture. Sexual intimacy between same-sex partners is never portrayed in a positivelight in the Bible. There is no Biblical warrantfor same-sex marriage. If homosexuality is not permitted biblically, then why are some people attracted to the same sex? Christian and secular experts continue to grapple with the issue of causality. The impact of the fall cannot be underestimated in the ways it has shaped humanity. -Romans 5:12 Is it sinful to have same-sex desires? God never tempts us – It always comes from the world, the flesh, and the devil. Jesus was tempted as we are, so temptationis not sin. -Hebrews 4:15 When we allow our desire to cross the line to thoughts or actions contrary to God's design, we have sinned. -James 1:13-15 How have Christians with same-sex desires chosen to live out their faith? Celibacy: A choice of devotion to Christ. Marriage (Heterosexual): A choice of self-denial for Christ. Kinship Partnerships: Nonsexual intimacy with others. Transformation: Nothing is impossible with God. How should we respond as a church? We can love all people knowing that it is not our responsibility to judge them. -1 Corinthians 5:9-10, 12 In the context of relationship, ask: “May I introduce you to Jesus?” We must continue to speak the truth in love to those in the church, calling all of us to the sexual standards of Scripture. We must support and celebrateour brothers and sisters in Christ who struggle with same-sex attraction, but are choosing to pattern their lives according to Scripture. We must develop a more robust understanding and celebration of single adults in the church. We must open our homes and families to those who are longing for community and were promised it in the church.
