In the Yoke Together

Scott Risley
2 Corinthians 6:14-7:3

Paul expresses his deep love for the Corinthians and asks them to open their hearts to him as well. He also warns them to be wise about committing to serious relationships with non-believers. Doing so in areas such as marriage or business can cause hardship, advice useful to Christians today.

Good Friends Are Hard to Find

Patrice McCormac
1 Samuel 23

Our culture is plagued with loneliness. Part of the problem is that we are often more concerned about whether people are being good friends to us than if we ourselves are being a good friend! As we examine the biblical story of David and Jonathan's friendship however, we see several key elements of good friendship. To be a good friend, we must warn our friends of danger even when it may be risky for us. We should speak and wish well of them, encourage, and initiate choosing to commit to the friendship. As we move away from our own selfish tendencies and toward these habits, we move toward becoming a good friend to others.

Suffering - Pastoral Care or Apologetics?

Pat Reeder
1 Peter 3:15

Unfortunately some of us have been perpetrators or victims of apologetics used during sensitive and difficult times that are cringe-worthy. How do we balance providing truth and biblical answers in times of suffering with being a caring and sensitive friend? This workshop helps practically break down scenarios and address appropriate responses to others' suffering based on timing and relationship, amongst other factors. As we learn some practical steps in both pastoral cases and apologetical cases, we become better equipped to provide thoughtful responses to others around us.

The Person of Jesus (Part 3) - Loving Anger

See Jesus Ministries
Mark 3:3-6

We find in the Bible that Jesus loves through his anger. Jesus embodies love and views people as they are meant to be seen. When Jesus gets angry it is because of injustice. Through the story of the man with the crippled hand we can follow Jesus' anger and learn how to love in anger.

The Person of Jesus (Part 2) - The Missing Person of Jesus

See Jesus Ministries
John 20:11-18

Often times we can forget to behold the beauty of the true Jesus that we are heading towards. Opening up the gospels to reengage with the real person of Jesus can lead us to rediscovery. We can discover him through the eyes of the authors. We can also discover how he interacts with people and creates the space they need to enter into a love relationship with him. As we follow and try to live like Christ, we will get to know him more deeply.

Evangelism Insights from Francis Schaeffer

Josh Benadum
Romans 10:14

Francis Schaeffer, a nineteenth century, prominent theologian, provides several key insights into faithful and biblical evangelism that is transcendent across culture and time. Schaeffer was convinced that we must become preoccupied with reaching the people of our current generation. We should not settle for a superficial knowledge of secular ideology, and we should hold loosely to language or methods that may be barriers to the gospel. While we want to adorn the gospel with authentic Christian love and community, we never want to compromise the truth as we do so. Finally, we can have confidence to point every individual toward a God who is truly there.

The Way of Love

Scott Risley
1 Corinthians 13:1-13

People have tried to define love in many different ways, but God's love, as laid out in the Bible, completely transcends all human ideas or expressions of love. Paul's message of the centrality of others-centered love in the Christian life, and what that looks like, is every bit as relevant today as it was to the Corinthian church.
