Equipping Hour | Growing in Grace | Philosophy of Ministry (1) by OrlandoGrace

Modern culture often feels loud, harsh, and quick to judge, leaving us feeling overlooked or unheard. This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we considered how God invites us to carry truth with kindness, stand strong without forcing our way, and create space for connection and understanding.The band performed songs by Labi Siffre, Adele, Joe Pug, and Elyssa Figueroa.

Growth in grace is generally imperceptible to the Christian himself. For the most part, it is of a very gradual nature. It is like a plant which grows insensibly, or like a babe which becomes stronger and taller, till at length he has all the proportions of a man; and yet you don't see how this is done. In time, you find an alteration, but you cannot perceive the steps by which he approaches nearer and nearer to manhood. Thus it is with the Christian. He is first a babe, being weak in knowledge and grace; then he is a young man; and after that he is a father. 1 These speak of great improvement; and yet in general, this is so gradual that the Christian is insensible of it. He is at first a plant; but afterwards he may be compared to a tree, and so he goes on oftentimes, till at length he becomes a tall cedar in Lebanon. And yet the steps by which he ascends to this height in stature are chiefly imperceptible.

It's hard to spot a lie if you don't know the truth. False teachers have tried to contaminate the church of Jesus Christ for more than two thousand years. Today, Ron tells us how we can recognize their deception, as he continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.” 

Counterfeit Christianity has been around almost since the church was founded some two thousand years ago. It feeds on false doctrine. It sows mistrust. It damages the reputation of the church that Jesus is building. Today, on Something Good, Dr. Ron Jones takes us to the book of Second Peter to show us how to combat this false Gospel, as he continues his series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.”

Loyalty. Consistency. Constancy. Stability. Reliability. Determination. Commitment. Persistence. These are just a few ways to describe the opportunity God is inviting us to live out in the Fruit of the Spirit, which we considered together, last Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering.The band performed songs by Savage Garden, Jason Isbell, Bebo Norman, and Gungor.

Equipping Hour | Growing in Grace | Theology (1) by OrlandoGrace

Overcoming deception and embracing the transforming power of divine love.Summary: We gathered for prayer and fellowship before diving into a powerful discussion on spiritual growth and the dangers of bad teaching. The meeting explored how false or incomplete doctrine often originates from the enemy's deception, subtly pulling believers away from God's love and grace. Through personal reflection and scriptural insight, we examined how the Holy Spirit exposes error and restores understanding through truth. The conversation also focused on humility, forgiveness, and submission to proper teaching as essential parts of growth. We ended by affirming that true transformation comes through grace—where God's love refines us, restores us, and replaces fear with freedom.Themes:Bad teaching and deception trace back to the enemy's lies (Revelation 12:9)Grace and truth expose error and lead to spiritual maturity (John 1:17)Overcoming fear through the perfect love of God (1 John 4:18)Submission to proper teaching brings protection and growth (Hebrews 13:17)God uses imperfect leaders to shape and refine His people (Romans 8:28)Forgiveness within the body of Christ strengthens unity and humility (Ephesians 4:31–32)Spiritual growth requires letting go of pride and relying on divine truth (James 4:6–8)Love and grace transform pain into understanding and maturity (2 Peter 3:18)Scripture References: Revelation 12:9; John 1:17; 1 John 4:18; Hebrews 13:17; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 4:31–32; James 4:6–8; 2 Peter 3:18Reflection Question: Am I willing to let God's truth confront my comfort—to unlearn what the world taught, so I can grow in grace and walk in His freedom?

Equipping Hour | Growing in Grace | Core Values (1) by OrlandoGrace

We rarely have to wait for anything anymore. Everything is fast, easy, and convenient; ours at the touch of a button. And how is that working out for us?This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, a way of living was considered that not only slows us down but that the Bible teaches can lead us into a richer experience of life.The band performed songs — all from the 80s—by Huey Lewis and The News, Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, Cyndi Lauper, and Foreigner.

If there is one thing lacking in the world today, it is peace. Jesus came to earth as the Prince of Peace, offering peace, and yet it seems to be in short supply.This past Storyline's Gathering, people wondered together about the need for peace, why it is missing, and how we might be able to find it.The band performed songs by The Eagles, Tears for Fears, Rich Mullins, and Ken Yates.

This past Sunday at Storyline's Gathering, the series on Growing in Grace continued by considering the opportunity to seize joy in life.The band performed songs by Sheryl Crow, Chris Stapleton, Radiohead, and more.
