Building on Bedrock - Synagogues, Summary and Conclusion
BUILDING ON BEDROCK
Here is the final wrapup of the series that began in January. It has been difficult and controversial, but I'm convinced it's both Biblical and essential for the future until the Lord Jesus Christ returns. May God bless and encourage very listener!

Building on Bedrock - Peace is a Person
BUILDING ON BEDROCK
We're examining the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22 and 23 as the character of Christ manifested in the body of Christ. As always, I hope it's an encouragement and a blessing!

Building on Bedrock - Spiritual Joy
BUILDING ON BEDROCK
We continue our consideration of the Fuit of the Spirit as an aspect of "Christ in Session"; the Corporate Christ in action! We "reflect" on the difference between Joy and happiness. As always, I hope it's a blessing and an encouragement!
info_outline
Building on Bedrock - The Love of God
BUILDING ON BEDROCK
In our examination of the New Testmaent model for local churches, we turn from the power and authority of Christ to His character. The first and primary aspect of that is God's Agape Love. May we all reflect it to each other and our neighbors!

Building on Bedrock - the Teaching Ministry
BUILDING ON BEDROCK
In this series we've already seen how Christ should be manifested in local churches in POWER: basically, Holy Spirit giftings. With this episode, we complete how He should be manifested in AUTHORITY: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Shepherds and Teachers. The final way He should be seen in us, CHARACTER, will start next. As always, I hope this is a blessing!

Building on Bedrock - Pastors and Teachers
BUILDING ON BEDROCK
Keeping in mind that all these authoritative ministries are TEAMS and not individuals, we consider the role of "shepherds" in the local churches. While they are related to teachers, and often the same office, our tranditons have clouded the true functions of these offices. May God steer us away from trends and traditions to open our hearts to his truth!

Building on Bedrock - New Testament Evangelists
BUILDING ON BEDROCK
Outside of Jesus Himself, we have only one example of Evangelist in the New Testament: Philip, who started out in Acts 6 as a deacon. As always, I hope this episode is a blessing, an encouragement...and a push in the rith direction.

Building on Bedrock - Prophets in the Churches
BUILDING ON BEDROCK
Almost everybody who reads the title of this episode will think he or she knows what I say in it, and most of them will be wrong. It's a controversial subject, and what I say won't really support any of the more vocal positions. Whether you agree or disagree, I hop it'll be a blessing and an encouragement!
info_outlineContinuing Genesis 13, we see Lot's foolish and selfish choice, and how God blessed Abram! I don't know where the "underwater" effect came from, and I hope it's not distracting. Blessings, listeners!
