Greater Than Rome
This weekend, we are beginning a brand new series focused on Christmas, titled “GREATER.” Through this series, we will focus on the society and political structure during the time of Jesus’ birth. Even though times change, people, situations, and politics remain the same. In this first message, we will take a look at the Roman Empire and how it was affected by Jesus’ birth. The title of this weekend’s message is “GREATER THAN ROME.”
Episode 17: Running the Race (ft. Dr David Alan Black)
In this episode, Abidan Paul Shah will be talking with Dr. David Alan Black about his newest book “Running My Race: Reflections on Life, Loss, Aging, and Forty Years of Teaching.” It’s about learning to deal with the pains of life in a way that draws us closer to the heart of God. Both laypeople and scholars will benefit from this book.
DADS WANTED PART 2
Last week we looked at the first 5 letters that Solomon wrote to his son Rehoboam. He warned him to avoid the wrong crowd, seek wisdom, be successful, appreciate discipline, and have a godly heritage. In the next 5 letters, he will be reminding his son about the dangers of bad company, exercise self control and have a happy marriage. The last point is so important that Solomon dedicates the last 3 letters to it! Our children desperately need dads who will take the time to lead their children in these vital truths, especially on how to have a happy home.
Where are the Vikings? (Men in Church)
Ever wonder why all the disciples that Jesus called were men? Why was that? Was it because Jesus was just a product of His time? Was He just a patriarchal rabbi who looked down upon women? Contrary all such notions, Jesus actually treated women with a lot more respect than any of the religious leaders of His time. In fact, He elevated the status of women. Many women followed Him and were the first ones to receive news of the resurrection. So what’s the reason? This weekend we will answer this very relevant question. It will help us understand why men are missing in most of our churches in America. It will also help us understand why Christianity is shriveling in America.
