Reformation, Part 1

Sunday, October 26th, 2008 : By Dan Miller

Did you know that October 31 is called Reformation Day and marks the anniversary of the “official” beginning of the Protestant Reformation? On October 31st in 1517 Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses on the door of the University Church in Wittenberg Germany. The 95 Theses were a consolidation of Martin’s disagreements with the Roman Catholic Church regarding the sale of indulgences. Today we will seek to better understand the reasons that led to the actions of Martin Luther as well as the implications of that day has in our lives now. MP3 download.

ChurchWorks: How You Function, Part 8

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008 : By Ken Rutherford

Last week we began a short series on the Work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the member of the Trinity whom the Scripture most often represents as being present to do God’s work in the world. We categorized His work in four ways: 1) empowers, 2) purifies, 3) reveals, and 4) unifies. This wee we continue by looking at the ways in which the Holy Spirit purifies, reveals, and unifies.

ChurchWorks: How You Function, Part 7

Sunday, July 27th, 2008 : By Ken Rutherford

Have you ever wondered “Who is the Holy Spirit?”, “What does the Holy Spirit do?”, or “How does the Holy Spirit work in the life of a believer?” The doctrine of the Holy Spirit is easily one of the most controversial, disagreed-about, avoided, feared, confused, and neglected subjects in the Bible. Pastor Dan has been teaching on the marks of a God-owned church (Knowing Who You Are) and how God equips his church to carry out his mission (Knowing How You Function). For the next two weeks, we are going to take a slight detour and explore the theological foundation to his teaching by focusing on the Biblical description of the Holy Spirit.  MP3 download.
