Christianity: Our Only True Hope
Religion or Relationship?
May 19, 2024 • Michael Graham • Galatians 4:8–11
There is so much confusion around "Christianity." Is it a "religion" or a "relationship"? And why does it matter? The New Testament goes to great lengths to answer this question, and it affects every aspect life, and how you live and relate to God. Listen in as we see Paul labor to rescue the Galatians from falling into "Religion" and calling them back to that faith-driven relationship. Because the consequences of this error are not only damaging, but eternally costly!
The Captivating Church
April 14, 2024 • Michael Graham • Acts 2:41–47
God desires to reach the world through "churches" that are captivating by remaining faithful to Jesus. But what specifically makes a church captivating? More than that, what defines the church? There are things that characterize a church where God works to captivate outsiders, and leads to more people coming to Christ. This is what every church should aim for. This is what we hope to do, though imperfectly, as we live to honor King Jesus.
The Captivating Christian
March 24, 2024 • Michael Graham • Acts 9:19–31
What is a Christian? More than that, what is a "Captivating Christian"? God wants those who follow Jesus to live in a way that captivates, rather than settling for less. Few Christians have demonstrated what this looks like more than Paul the Apostle. In Acts 9, we will see 10 marks of a Captivating Christian.
The Mission Of Our Faith
March 17, 2024 • Michael Graham • Matthew 16:24–28
What does the Christian life look like? Is it a path of ease and comfort once we come to Jesus? Or is there a lot of hardship and trials? Should it be this way? Listen to the words from Jesus and find your heart encouraged as you walk through hard times in life.
The Message of Our Faith
March 10, 2024 • Michael Graham • Matthew 16:21–23
The central message of the Christian Faith is the Gospel, meaning "good news." The essence of this message is the foundation of our hope. Its how sinners like us can get into heaven. Listen to hear about this message, and what God is saying to us as he planned, accomplished, and applies salvation to sinners.
The Man Of Our Faith
February 25, 2024 • Michael Graham • Matthew 16:13–18
There are over 4,000 religions in the world. Yet Christians would say that Christianity is the only way to heaven. Why? "Christianity: Our Only Hope" is a series that unpacks three essentials our our faith. Listen as we first talk about the person of Jesus, and how/why he is the center of our faith, as well as all of history.
