Are Lukewarm Christians Saved?
Are lukewarm Christians saved? I don't know. At the end of the day that is God's decision. What I do know is that either way, the Bible has some difficult things to say to the lukewarm Church.

What Does it Mean to Follow Jesus?
What does it mean to follow Jesus? A pretty important question for those who would call themselves followers of Jesus. And maybe it is not as complicated as we seem to make it sometimes. After all, Jesus doesn't seem to make it very complicated. What does He say when He calls the disciples? Simply, "Follow me."

Acts /// Will You Go? (Acts 28.11-31)
With Acts 28 the book of Acts comes to end. As Luke brings brings Paul's journey to a conclusion, he passes the torch of the mission of Jesus to the reader, as if to say, "Now will you go? Will you take the gospel the rest of the way?" So, will you? Or maybe the better question: Will you go all in? Will you give everything to Jesus and hold nothing back?

Nicole Heppner /// A Conversation About Biblical Counseling
Today I am joined by my wife, Nicole Heppner, to talk about the basics of biblical counselling. In our chat Nicole helps define what exactly biblical counselling is; she disusses how it is different from other forms of counselling, and even gets into some the specifics of applying biblical counselling principles and methods to our day to day lives.
Nicole grew up on Long Island NY and spent many years working for apologetics ministries in NY as well as serving on the mission field in Latin America. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from State University of New York, and a Master’s degree in Biblical Counseling from Master’s College. Nicole works as a Biblical Counselor in our local church. -
Sermon: How Does the Gospel Go Out? (Acts 27-28.10)
It is easy to think that the gospel will reach the ends of the earth without me. A pastor will do the job, or a missionary, or just somehow God will accomplish it without me having to go. But is that a biblical view of the mission of Jesus and what He calls us to? The question asked in this sermon is simply this, how does the Gospel reach far away places? How will the kingdom of God advance to the edges of the earth?

Doctrine, Theology and Anti-Intellectualism
We are tempted as Christians to at times believe that deeper study will lead to a heady and withered faith. I am convinced that the exact opposite is true. That in fact deeper study, when it is saturated with Christ, will lead us into the most thrilling faith we have ever known.
