Untold Stories, Part 3 - IRENAEUS

February 25, 2019

We’re going back in time this week and putting the finishing touches on the series UNTOLD STORIES: Forgotten Fathers of the Faith. We started this series way back in December, but had to cut it short due to some untimely snow days.

But we put the finishing touches on it yesterday as we looked at the life of IRENAEUS OF LYONS. - an unsung hero of the faith who was one of the first church fathers to address the issue of the Bible: what belongs in it (canon) and how should we understand it (covenant).

IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH - Untold Stories, Part 1

December 3, 2018

The New Testament ends abruptly but the story of Christianity doesn’t. When the last of the apostles died, Christians were left with just a few letters and some scattered writings about the life of Jesus.

So where did the church come from? Where did the Bible come from? What’s the connection between the church of the New Testament to the church of today?

Answer: THE CHURCH FATHERS. They are the ones who brought Christianity out of infancy and nurtured it to allow it to stand on its feet as it is today.

Each week in this series, we’ll look at one church father - a “hidden figure” of church history - and see how they helped contribute to the church we now see today.

For the Bible Tells Me So - CLEAR THE AIR, Part 2

Warning:  the video above may lead to some serious trauma for those who grew up in church and were taught that the Bible is the foundation of Christianity.  If that's you, get ready to have your faith seriously challenged.

It's our second installment in CLEAR THE AIR - the series that looks at the different reasons people "walk away" from God and calls them into question.

THE ‘T’ WORD – Ancient Faith in a Modern World Part 2

June 27, 2016

The ‘t’ word.  It’s a word that can instantly divide Christians into two groups: pro vs con.  Some hate it and believe that it is the cause of all the problems in church history.  Others love it and believe that we’d be lost without it.

What is the ‘t’ word?  TRADITION.

In this week’s message, we take a look an objective look at tradition and see where it came and what our view towards it should be.  Does the Bible ever speak negatively about tradition?  Does it ever speak positively of it?  Is all tradition a good thing?  Is there a time where tradition can be bad?  

What is tradition and what would our lives/churches look like without it?
