Connexion: Faith Begins with Questions – Bob Whitaker (6 Oct 2013)
We have assumptions about evangelism that are hard to overcome. But as Bob shows us this week from John 4, leading people to Christ can be done gently and often begins with simple questions.
Connexion: Grace for Him? – Josiah Leuenberger (29 Sept 2013)
Josiah helps us think through a how undeserved grace. Jesus heals a paralytic by the pool at Bethesda, but unlike most healings, the man showed little or no faith, and little or no gratitude. What lessons can we learn about Jesus and about his grace from this story?
Connexion: Jesus Meets a Zombie – Dan Waugh (22 Sept 2013)
What do zombies have to do with the Bible? Well, the Bible tells us that there are people who are alive but dead – alive physically but devoid of life spiritually. Jesus says that unless people are born again from above, from the Spirit, they won’t see or enter the kingdom of God. Dan explores […]
Connexion: Come and See – Josiah Leuenberger (8 Sept 2013)
Director of University Ministries Josiah Leuenberger helps us think through what it means to respond to Jesus’ call to follow him on the journey of discipleship as well as what it looks like for us to invite others to ‘come and see’ for themselves who Jesus is.
Connexion: God’s InFleshedness – Dan Waugh (1 Sept 2013)
The doctrine of the incarnation is really cool and entirely unique to Christianity – God became flesh and dwelt among us. Not only is it cool, but is practical. Because God in Jesus experienced everything we as humans experience, he can sympathize with us. Cool, Practical, and Important. It’s no exaggeration to say that without […]
Connexion: Setting the Record Straight – Bob Whitaker (Aug25)
Pastor Bob kicks of the semester and a new series at connexion on the Gospel of John called Rediscovering Jesus. This week, Bob asks wrestles with questions like: Why do I believe the Gospels are true accounts of Jesus? Is there enough evidence to believe them? Is there good reasons to disbelieve them?
Connexion: Pilgrim Songs – Bob Whitaker (28 April 2013)
Bob brings the semester to a close with a overview of the Songs of Ascent, encouraging us to a realistic view of the world, an appreciation for God’s sovereignty, and an understanding of the central role of worship in the life of the believer.
Connexion: Satan Quotes a Psalm – Josiah Leuenberger (21 April 2013)
Josiah speaks on Psalm 91. Yep, that’s the psalm the devil quoted when he was tempting Jesus in the wilderness. How do we make God our refuge? How do we handle those promises that ‘no harm will befall you’?
Connexion: Two Paths – Dan Waugh (14 April 2013)
The Psalm’s are full of godly wisdom. One of the ways the psalmists commend wisdom to us is by presenting two alternative paths: the path of righteousness and the way of the wicked. Each path leads somewhere. While the path of wickedness may look enticing, it leads to destruction. The path of righteousness, on the […]
Connexion: Created For Praise – Bob Whitaker (7 April 2013)
Pastor Bob kicks off a new miniseries on the book of Psalms. Each week we’ll look at a different type of psalm: wisdom, lament, Messianic. This week, Bob begins with psalms of praise, addressing issues like “Why does God want our praise?” and “What happens to us when we praise God?”
