Ephesians 2:1-10 is a great way to share the Gospel if you have time to sit down and walk through it. Ephesians 2:1-3 talk about who we are, our sinfulness, and what we will face (children of wrath) if we continue on a sinful path, in rebellion to God. These verses show us our need for a savior, a need for Jesus. Thankfully, the story doesn't end there. the next verse starts with "But God," meaning that while we are all of those things, God is the opposite. Verses 4-9 go on the speak of who God is, what He has done for us, how we are saved, and the reality that we can't earn salvation. Verse 10 then ends with tells us that we are made for good works. Meaning we aren't saved to continue living our lives in sinfulness, but we are saved for a purpose, to gloify God and tell others about Him.   Sharing the Gospel is scary and hard, but it is a command that we have been given. God has a heart for all people, for the nations, and that is shown throughout Scripture, both Old Testament and New Testament. While it is difficult to do, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to do this, so trust in Him to work in and through you. Want to find us on other platforms? Links below! ALSO…. THE MERCH IS HERE!

Sharing the Gospel can be a hard thing to do, especially if you have never done it before. Many people are worried about not having every answer, not speaking eloquently, or simply being rejected without having the opportunity to even start. All of these are fears are valid, but these worries should not stop us from being obedient to our calling. We have been given a spirit of power, not fear. We are ambassadors, and we should carry ourselves as such.  Even though we know these things to be true, the question now becomes “how.” “How do I start a Gospel Conversation?” Well, sometimes it is as simple as answering a common question back to your relationship with Christ. If a coworker was to ask why you never took shortcuts at work and you said, “because God has given work as a gift, and I want to honor Him in the gift He has given me,” then an everyday conversation could have just turned in to a Gospel conversation, and all you had to do was give an intentional answer.  Many Gospel conversations aren’t even opened by you, but if you have an open heart and open ears, others my give you the opportunity to share the Gospel. This all starts with our heart, do we have a heart for people to know Christ? If not, we need to change that. If we do, then we ought to be praying that God would provide opportunities to share the Gospel. Then, mindset, what are we focused on in conversation, do we look to make much of us or much of Christ, or are we just engaged in conversation to get through it? Lastly, willingness, are we willing to put ourselves out there when the opportunity is presented?  Want to find us on other platforms? Links below! ALSO…. THE MERCH IS HERE!

One of the most common accusations against the Bible is that it had been changed over time, making it unreliable. How do we know if what we have today is what the original Bible actually said? How can we be confident that we are reading the accurate Word of God? What if the story of Jesus has just been hyperbolized over the hundreds and thousands of years? Well, there is an answer to each of these questions. Scholars engage in textual criticism, which allows these questions and more to be answered. To do this, scholars and textual critics review thousands and tens of thousands of ancient manuscripts, compare these manuscripts to one another, validate the validity of the manuscripts, and come to a conclusion on whether or not the text is accurate. One important distinction to note is the difference in a manuscript and a copy. A manuscript is handwritten. If you were to copy, paste, and print the Bible that would not be considered a manuscript, and therefore would not be eligible for review in textual criticism. Each of these manuscripts was written by hand, and there are tons of them. Some Bible critics, such as Dr. Bart Ehrman, intentionally mislead people when talking about the accuracy and validity of the Bible. These critics will use phrases like “there are over 400,000 variations of the Bible,” which is a true statement, but not in the way that we understand it. The same is true for the word “corrupt” in textual criticism; this word has a slightly different meaning, but that difference completely changes the way we understand this argument. Spoiler alert, the Bible is shown to be accurate through textual criticism, and has more support than some of the other most famous writings in modern history. Want to find us on other platforms?

A lot of Americans make New Year's Resolutions. We say that we are going to change our life and that "this year is our year," with as much hope as Dallas Cowboys fans every year, just to find the same result as those fans, disappointment. We disappoint ourselves and set ourselves up for failure when we make these resolutions and life changing commitments without stepping back, checking our heart, mind, and motives, and then making the decision.  If we are going to make a New Year's Resolution it needs to be: 1. Centered on the glorification of Jesus 2. Something the Spirit is promting us to do, not our culture or emotions 3. Not contingent on the day of the year that you start it. Resolutions can be good, but why wait until New Years to do something that the Spirit is leading to and that will glorify God? If that is what you are feeling, don't wait, go be obedient to the Spirit. However, if you New Year's Resolutions aren't meeting these criteria, maybe reconsider and reexamine what you are doing and why you are doing it. Want to find us on other platforms? Links below!

Reading your Bible can oftentimes seem like a daunting task. There is so much historical context, cultural context, and Scriptural context. The questions of where to start, how to understand what is being said, and how do I apply it to my life? All of these worries and questions are valid, but we can not let those things stop us from getting in the Word and pursing Jesus. Hopefully this video is helpful in learning how to do just that. These are practical tips to read your Bible and be more consistent in the Word. Learning how to abide in Christ as John 15 calls us to is essential to our spiritual development and our relationship with Christ. A common question people ask is how can they hear from God, and the way to do that is by consistency in His word. If you want to get to know someone you have to spend time with them, that is the same way with Christ. In order to deepen your relationship with God you need to be interacting with Him through prayer and reading His word. Want to find us on other platforms? Links below! ALSO…. THE MERCH IS HERE!

A popular phrase in Christianity is “In the world, not of the world,” but what does this actually look like? Are we supposed to affirm and embrace the culture that surrounds us, even if it is opposed to everything we stand for or are we to shelter and isolate ourselves from the rest of the world so that we are not tempted by it? Well, neither. We should not embrace or affirm the sin that is in our culture or in the world, just as we should not embrace or affirm the sin that is in our own lives, but that does not mean that we isolate ourselves and see ourselves as better than those who have accepted Christ. It is important to remember the only difference between a believer and unbeliever is that standing before God. Christians are not morally superior or perfect, and we should not pretend that we are. We have done nothing to separate ourselves from the world, but Jesus has done everything. Unbelieving people are one choice away from forgiveness, but how will they make the choice if they are not told about the Good News of Jesus Christ? We are called to spend time with people who do not know Christ, but there are obviously boundaries that you must set depending on the situation. You should not be in a position where you will be tempted to sin. You must remember that you are always representing Christ. Being a Christian is a fulltime commitment, not a part time hobby.

Consumeristic Christianity has infiltrated Christianity in America. The idea that church is all about what we can get from it instead of how we can serve is contrary to what the church is designed to be. As Christians we are called to both pour out and be poured in to, we are called to serve as others serve us, we are called to encourage believers in the faith as we are encouraged in the faith. The church is meant to be a unified body, working in unison for the glory of Christ. Serving in a church is oftentimes seen as something that we must do or are required to do, if we do it at all, but that is because we have a misconception of church service. God has given us the gift of serving one another. Even Jesus says that the Son of Man came to serve, not to be served. Jesus has set the example of service; we are given the responsibility to serve and encourage other believers in a church setting. Understanding that church isn’t about what we can get is essential if we are to fully experience the gift that Christ has given us within the body of Christ. Consumerism is rampant in American culture, and this consumeristic mindset has taken a foothold in Christianity in America. We must realize our responsibility and the reality of what church is, not an event once or twice a week but a commitment the requires out attention and action. Want to find us on other platforms?

Christmas is the holiday that many people would say is there favorite, but Trey has a very different opinion. He is not a fan of Santa or the icon that Santa has become, which distracts people from the true meaning of Christmas, Jesus. Jesus is the gift that we have received, and that is what Christmas is about, remembering that gift. Christmas is not just a time of selflessness, a time of helping others, or a time of showing love. Christians do those things year-round because of the gift we have received in Christ coming to the earth, dying for our sins, and defeating sin and death. Christmas is a time to remember the love that God has for us, the love of the Father for His children. In reality, Christmas is not the most important Christian holiday, that should be Easter, but our culture has made an idol out of Christmas and distracted us from the true meaning. Let this Christmas be the year that you remember Christ is the gift we have received. You can still give and receive gifts, but do it knowing why. The why is not because of an old guy in a red suit is watching and making a list, the why is not because it is simply what we do, the why is because the God that created us, that we rebelled against, loves us enough to come to us, live a perfect life, die the death that we deserve, and rise from the grave so that we can know Him for eternity. That is the true story of Christmas, and it is worth celebrating and remembering. Want to find us on other platforms? Links below!
