    Beyond the Sermon: What's the Difference Between an Active and Passive Faith?

    Spend any time looking through the stories of Acts and you'll find faith that is alive and active. "Boring" is certainly not one of the adjectives you'd you use to describe it! And yet often Christianity and church life carries a reputation of being boring and mundane. So what are we are missing here? What does a vibrant and active faith look like? Join Ridge Lead Pastor Mike Van Rees and BTS Host Will Herron as they discuss these questions and more on this week's Beyond the Sermon.

    Passive vs. Active Faith

    Paul is preaching long into the night in an upper room. A young man named Eutychus is there sitting on a windowsill. As the sermon continues on (and on and on), Eutychus eventually drifts off to sleep and falls three stories to the the ground. The fall is fatal. But Paul performs a miracle and brings Eutychus back to life. What a thing to have happened! But what is it that we're supposed to see here? Is is something beyond the miracle?Message by Mike Van ReesScripture referenced: Acts 20:7–12

    Beyond the Sermon: Why is Confession So Important?

    You would be hard-pressed to find anyone who enjoys confessing their failures. Who wants to have to admit you were wrong? Yet confession is something the Bible teaches should be part of the rhythm of our lives. But why? Why is confession so essential to our overall health and our spiritual growth? Join Ridge Lead Pastor Mike Van Rees and BTS Host Will Herron as they discuss this question and more on this week's Beyond the Sermon episode.

    The Power of Confession and Repentance

    The people of Ephesus just witnessed the aftermath of a failed exorcism by the Seven Sons of Sceva and saw demons flee in the name of Jesus. After gaining this profound reverence for Jesus' overwhelming power and authority, an interesting thing happens. The Ephesians openly confess their previous involvement in magic and occult practices and gather to publicly burn and completely destroy their expensive spell books. Clearly, confession and repentance are powerful. So, what does all of this mean for us, and how does it apply to our lives today?Message by Mike Van ReesScripture referenced: Acts 19:17–22

    Beyond the Sermon: Are Demons Still Present and Active Today?

    Looking through the Gospels and the book of Acts, it's hard to ignore the frequent encounters of Jesus and the Apostles with the demonic. Whether it’s the Gerasene demoniac in Mark 5:1-20 or the boy in Matthew 17:14-21, these encounters pose an underlying question for the modern reader: Are demons still present and active today? Join Ridge Lead Pastor Mike Van Rees and BTS Host Will Herron as they discuss this question and more on this week's Beyond the Sermon episode.

    Lessons from the Seven Sons of Sceva

    The Seven Sons of Sceva. This group of men would travel from city to city looking for spiritually oppressed people who would pay them to cast out the demonic. While in Ephesus, the men heard about Paul and his ability to heal, restore and bless — power unlike they had ever witnessed before. And they wanted what Paul had. But when the Seven Sons of Sceva tried to get it, things didn't go well for them.Message by Mike Van ReesScripture referenced: Acts 19:1–16

    Beyond the Sermon: How Can I Tell if Something is an Idol in my Life?

    In Acts 17 we get insight into a message Paul gave to the leaders of the city of Athens. At that time Athens was known for its temples, idols and cults, and Paul sets out to contrast the idols of Athens with the one true God. But how is this relevant to us today? What are the equivalent idols of the 21st century?  Join Ridge Director of Family Ministries Doug Applegate and BTS Host Will Herron as they discuss ways in which we can identify and overcome idols in our lives today.

  8. Idolatry and Modern Day

    Idolatry and Modern Day

    In Acts 17 Paul is in Athens. As he walks to the city, we learn two things: The city was full of idols. And Paul is greatly distressed. At first glance, it seems this passage is a bit antiquated. Idols are a thing of the past, aren't they? Just as idolatry weaves its way through the Bible from beginning to end, so, too, it finds its way into modern day.Message by Will HerronScripture referenced: Acts 17
