Only One - Jude 17-25

August 30, 2020 • Luke Hildebrand

Jude tells the early Church to defend the faith. But what exactly are we defending? And how do we do that? The answer is a bit upside-down, but thankfully, so is God’s Kingdom.

Only One - Jude 1-16

August 23, 2020 • Terry Dueck

Terry guides us through the first half of Jude, a short, but powerful and relevant letter on the dangers of trying to change the message of Jesus to fit our own desires. Jude’s call to respond and defend the faith reaches out to us today. Where is the Holy Spirit compelling you into action?

Only One - 3 John 9-15

August 16, 2020 • Mike Franz

Mike finishes teaching through the second part of 3rd John. In the final section of the letter, John encourages Gaius not to follow Diotrephes example. Instead, we learn that we should continue to serve one another and imitate those that are doing good. Hospitality continues to stand out as a theme in this letter and we end 3rd John by taking a look at a couple from WMBC who are living out the gospel message through hospitality.

Only One - 3 John 1-8

August 2, 2020 • Mike Franz

Mike begins teaching through the first part of 3rd John. In the initial section of the letter, John encourages Gaius to continue to show hospitality to traveling missionaries. Hospitality stands out as a theme in this letter and we are encouraged to be hospitable towards others for the sake of the Gospel. The way we invite others into our home is a reflection of our Heavenly Father inviting us into His home.

Only One - 2 John 4-13

July 26, 2020 • Luke Hildebrand

The letter of 2 John punches above its weight. In this short letter, John guided a home church network through a crisis by helping them refocus on the truth that Jesus shows us about God, and His command to love others. How do we respond to this letter in our own time and place?

Only One - 2 John 1-3

July 19, 2020 • Luke Hildebrand

It turns out that the shortest books in the Bible are letters. But do we read them that way? This week we dive into the world of the Early Church in an effort to understand the New Testament letters on their own terms. Then we take what we learned to the second letter that John wrote to a church in crisis.

Only One - Philemon 8-25

July 12, 2020 • Terry Dueck

Terry continues teaching through Paul’s letter to Philemon and the radical request being made of him to forgive a runaway slave. Forgiveness and reconciliation lies at the core message of the Gospel. How we live our lives and who we choose to forgive gives testimony to the power of Christ’s love within us.

Only One - Philemon 1-7

July 5, 2020 • Terry Dueck

In this kick off to a new series we look at the book of Philemon, a small and unique book, that in a most personal way addresses the all-important topic of forgiveness.
