In this series we will discover and define seven key words of the New Testament. These words are rich with meaning. They open doorways of understanding into God’s beautiful character and the life-transforming truths of the gospel. Word by word, you will be ushered into a deeper walk with Jesus.
Perisseuo
October 8, 2022 • Ty Gibson, Nathan McKee
Imagine a jar positioned directly under a waterfall. What happens? The jar is continually filling and overflowing at the same time. This is the rich image communicated in the Greek word perisseuo. Jesus is the waterfall and you are the jar.
Zoe
October 1, 2022 • Ty Gibson, Nathan McKee
Are you alive? “Of course I am, or else I wouldn’t be reading this.” OK, yes, you are biologically alive. But are you alive on all levels of your being—emotionally, spiritually, morally, relationally? It’s not merely biological life Jesus offers, it’s zoe life, which is so much more.
Pistis
September 24, 2022 • Ty Gibson, Nathan McKee
The Greek word pistis, from which we get the English word faith, means far more than simply believing something to be factually true. It means . . . well, you’ll just have to tune in for this message to explore with us what it means.
Sozo
September 17, 2022 • Ty Gibson, Nathan McKee
Jesus came to “save” us. But what does that mean? Going to heaven rather than hell when we die? The Greek word for salvation is sozo, and it has far more to do with our present experience in this world than what happens after this life is over.
Agape
September 10, 2022 • Ty Gibson, Nathan McKee
Our culture is obsessed with “love.” But often what the world calls “love” is little more than temporary attraction. What does the New Testament mean when it says, “God is love”? The answer lies in the Greek word agape.
Logos
Ty Gibson, Nathan McKee
The ancient Greeks believed that all of reality is undergirded by one essential principle of truth that forms the basis for all rational thought. They called it “the logos.” The bold claim of the New Testament is that the logos became flesh in Jesus Christ.
