“Unless I understand the Cross, I cannot understand why my commitment to what is right must be precedence over what I prefer.” – Ravi Zacharias

As a disciple, we cannot make a defence of Jesus Christ unless we understand His character, whether it be in regard to creation or salvation.

A good apologist is not the individual who is strictly academic but rather the Christian that has spent time in the Word and prayer. Therefore, the first sermon in our Answering Life's Tough Questions series is focused on how to prepare your heart and mind to make a case for Christ.

“For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach” – Titus 1:7.

Biblical leadership, for the benefit of the church, has been clearly defined by Scripture. If you are wanting to know more about what an elder is and why you should care, our panel discussion on the matter should be a step in the right direction.

God created you with great joy. As a matter of fact, He is delighting in you today as His child. The Lord can restore whatever you did not receive while growing up, whether it be: love, discipline, or protection.

For the wealth of knowledge taught by Jesus in Matthew 24, his most profound reminder is this: do not be deceived.

As children of God, we do not walk by blind optimism but hope established in truth. Jesus has given us insight into what tomorrow may hold. Anything else is unworthy of our attention.

Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your heart.

Our God is not an idol with eyes that fail to see, nor does he have a mouth incapable of speaking. From the very beginning of time, his voice has permeated throughout creation – even at this very moment.

Can you hear it?

“For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God” – 1 Corinthians 1:26-29.

God does not call the qualified. Rather, He has qualified those whom He has called.
