Read the Bible with Gospel Lenses. When God says he will bless the entire world through one man. When all cry out for deliverance from Egypt, or Assyria, or Babylon…and God comes to their rescue. When outsiders beg for mercy, and dare to touch the face of God, and they find overwhelming grace and acceptance.The gospel was preached to Abraham. Every section of Scripture—Law, Prophets, Psalms, Gospels, Letters, and Apocalypse—tells of God's relentless rescue mission, reconciling the world in and through the Messiah.In this episode, we return to a series that began in season 2.

[Note: audio issues in the original recording]Unity is complicated. Creating unity has often failed us (Gen 11). Maintaining unity is what will heal us (Eph 4). By the Spirit, we have “all things in common” (Acts 2:44). The only question is this: what will we do with it (John 17)?The sermon today is titled "All Things In Common."

I hear our Lord gently saying to us as we read Acts 2:42 (“and they were devoted to the Apostles' teaching”) “go and learn what this means.” These young Christians were barely dry. Not one of them had a New Testament handed to them as they came up out of the water, because it had not been written yet. Paul had not written his majestic letter to the Romans, or to the Corinthians, or to any of the churches for that matter. He wasn't even a Christian yet! With no New Testament, this early band of believers “devoted themselves to the Apostles' teaching.” What exactly did they devote themselves to? The sermon today is titled "The Apostles' Teaching."

How do I know if I am explaining the depth of the gospel or adding to the gospel? The answer is found in discovering the content of the earliest preaching, the central themes that appear in gospel presentations.What we would need is something that touches on all the central items the gospel seeks to proclaim, the things that would have been believed and received when the “word” was preached. We would want it to include the things that appear over and over again in the early speeches of Acts, that ground the teaching of the Apostles in the rest of the New Testament, and that encapsulates what “the word of His grace” was meant to include. And since baptism dramatically displays the gospel, it would need to include all the major truths being proclaimed in that moment as well. The sermon today is titled "The Diameter of the Gospel." It is the fourth installment in our "What Is The Gospel" Series. The Scripture reading is from Ephesians 4:4-6. Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on January 22, 2023.

Cannabis businesses don't have access to many services other types of businesses enjoy. Banking is more difficult or impossible, interstate commerce is not allowed, and access to capital, such as small business loans, is limited or non-existent. Humboldt County government, together with the local cannabis industry, created Project Trellis in an attempt to remedy this imbalance. We spoke with Scott Adair and Peggy Murphy of the Humboldt County Office of Economic Development about Project Trellis.
What are the essentials of the faith? How do we teach our members and remember them ourselves? We can look at the recurring themes in the speeches in Acts, or the 7 ones of Ephesians 4, or the basic elements laid out in the early Christian creeds. But what if those same basic elements are displayed dramatically in our baptism? In this ninth episode (and part 2 of our "theologically grounded" discussion), we explore the gospel which defines the essence of our faith, and learn how to read Scripture through the lens of that central message, confessed by every believer in the act of baptism itself. My featured guest today is Dr. Scott Adair. Scott is a professor of theology, Bible, and ministry at Harding University (Searcy, AR). In his speeches at lectureships, youth ministry conferences, in academic papers, and in a recent book, Dr. Adair is promoting his gospel project--which includes a very "handy" exercise which helps you teach anyone--at any age--the truths of the gospel that define our faith.In this episode, we cover several interesting topics, including:Was there a "gospel" or even a "word of God" before the New Testament? (1:40)How does our baptism ceremony proclaim and enact the gospel? (6:41)What is the theology IN baptism (not OF baptism)? (8:56)What are the core tenets of the Christian faith? (10:43)"Fingers of Faith": What is a handy way to remember the 7 core tenets? (12:13-28:16)How does the gospel project move us neither left nor right, but deeper? (29:33)And lots, lots more!Connect with Dr. Adair:Nathan's substack article featuring the interview with ScottScott Adair's Harding faculty bioScott's chapter in the new book Scripture FirstScott's earlier article "Reading Scripture Baptismally" in Christian StudiesShort videos for your church or class: Fingers of Faith And if you want more tips and guidance, visit us at avenueforfaith.org.

A lot of issues, questions and practices have united and divided believers over the years. But what IS the Gospel... really; and why is it important to not only define the Gospel but to let it define our churches and our daily lives?
Sometimes we find ourselves majoring in the minors. Join Jonathan and Harding University Professor Scott Adair, as they look deeper into the importance of defining the Gospel and letting it define our churches and our daily lives.
Theology is the pursuit of believing right and true things about God. This involves reading Scripture, studying church history, and engaging with Christians throughout the ages in reasoned reflection. Why is theology so important, and what value does it have for the church? In this eighth episode, we consider how theology provides a framework for uncovering the central truths of the Christian faith, and grounds the church in its mission, calling, and identity.My featured guests today are Dr. Edmon Gallagher and Dr. Keith Stanglin. Ed is a professor of Scripture and Biblical Interpretation at Heritage Christian University (in Florence, Alabama), and serves as the associate minister for the Sherrod Avenue Church of Christ. Keith is a professor of Scripture and historical theology at Austin Graduate School of Theology (in Austin, Texas), a school now in partnership with Lipscomb University. In the next episode (a part 2 of sorts on the topic of being theologically grounded), I will be joined by Dr. Scott Adair of Harding University.In this episode, we cover several interesting topics, including:The Need for Theology (1:08)Ed: When Bibles Were Uncommon, How Did Christian's Grow? (3:44)Keith: Why "Theologically Grounded" is an Important Principle (9:23)C. S. Lewis' Shared Hall of Faith (12:27)Keith: What Are the Central Truths of the Faith?

Palm Bay Para Fly-in Summary By Mark Renkins I want to thank you all for joining us at the Fly In which was two weeks ago already!!! Overall we believe the event was an overwhelming success!! Nobody got hurt and the feedback we received was very positive. A few issues were brought to our attention that we plan to address next time. Our goal is to learn as we go and try to improve the event each time around. In total the event brought in $18,000. We had approximately $4000 in expenses. Therefore, $6500 went to the Palm Bay Police Athletic League and another $6500 went to our Victim Services Unit!!!! In comparison, last year we raised $10,000 and had $3000 in expenses. In 2013 we had 87 registered pilots. This year we had 140 registered pilots so the event is definitely gaining momentum thanks to all of you!!!! The next Palm Bay “Scott Adair” Para Fly/USPPA National Convention is scheduled for March 13, 14, and 15, 2015 at the same location, Valkaria Airport. One thing we realized this year is we were way understaffed which led to some of the issues that were brought to our attention. We will be in need of some volunteers at the next event so if you’re willing and able, let us know. On behalf of our planning committee (Don and Leeta Jordan, Jeff Weimer, Ben Teaford, Dana Packard, Robin Renkens, Dave Weber, Glenn Garceau, and Ed Bermudez) I want to thank all those who participated and especially those of you who donated so generously above and beyond!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also want to thank the Airport Manager Steve Borowski for being an excellent friend and advocate for our sport and allowing our event to take place at such an awesome facility!! Lastly – please keep our vendors in mind when making any PPG related purchases. They include: AEROLIGHT KANGOOK USA PARAJET (could not come but told us to keep the $100 registration fee as a donation) GRASSHOPPER PPG PALM BAY PPG PLANET PPG FREEDOM FLIGHT CENTER MOJO GEAR SOUTHERN SKIES FOOT FLYER WEATHER FLOW SKYCRUISERS PARATOUR PPG SIMULATOR (ROB CATTO) USPPA TEXAS FLY SPORTS PARADRENALIN AVIATOR PPG Thank you all so much!!
