The Church and the Kingdom
April 14, 2019 • Dr. Glen G. Scorgie
We continue our “We Believe” series this week by considering the closely-related doctrines of the church and the kingdom. Here our focus shifts from “I” to “we,” from personal salvation to broader social dynamics that are also part of the Good News.
Redemption Applied
April 7, 2019 • Dr. Mark Strauss
The Bible tells the story of God’s plan to save his people through the life, death and resurrection of his son Jesus Christ. Today we look at the nature of this salvation: its motivation, means, appropriation and the metaphors used in Scripture to describe it.
The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
March 31, 2019 • Dr. Mark Strauss
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. Like the Father and the Son, the Spirit is fully God and yet a distinct person.
The Person and Work of Christ
March 24, 2019 • Dr. Mark Strauss
The Bible teaches that Jesus is fully human and fully divine. In the incarnation he became a human being in order to pay the penalty for our sins. Through His perfect life, sacrificial death on the cross and victorious resurrection from the dead, He accomplished our salvation.
Humanity: Image Bearers who Sin

“Nobody’s perfect.” This folk wisdom recognizes some moral / ethical standard and the reality that no one fully embodies it.
God's Self Revelation

God's Person & Work
March 3, 2019 • Dr. Mark Strauss
This week we continue to examine the person of God and His work. God is both transcendent and immanent—wholly separate from human beings yet choosing to be in relationship with them.
God in Three Persons
February 24, 2019 • Dr. Mark Strauss
Theology begins with God, the Creator and Sustainer of all things. Finding meaning and purpose in life starts with the realization that God exists and that He is the infinite, holy and good God, and that He desires to be in relationship with His people.
