Cal KrahnDid Jesus really say that we would always have the poor with us? Yes, but not as an excuse to avoid helping the poor. Jesus calls us to generously give to the poor and to extravagantly love God. In fact, helping the needy is an expression of love to God.
[John 12:1-8; Deuteronomy 15:7-11; Matthew 25:40]
Jeff BjorganJesus used severe language when discussing our approach to sin. Did he really want us to physically remove the body part that led us astray? Jesus is suggesting something more profound: a radical response to God’s commands as they relate to our hearts.
[Matthew 5: 27-30; Matthew 18:6-9; Mark 9:42-48]
Cal KrahnDid Jesus really say, “I came not to bring peace, but the sword.” Yes, but context is key. Jesus doesn’t want violence or division, but not everyone wants to follow Jesus. This is the Jesus effect: we either follow him or reject him. There is no middle ground.
[Matthew 10:34; Romans 12:18]
Ben McGillivrayThe way Jesus lived in his time here on earth was counter-cultural and often spurred controversy. We examine how Jesus differed from the religious leaders of the time by inviting sinners and immersing himself in their world.
[Mark 2:13-17]
Cal KrahnDid Jesus really say, “love your enemies?” The world can be a troubling place, but there is a better way: the way Jesus taught and lived–the way of love. His love knows no bounds and He calls us to follow. So do we truly love others including our enemies?
[Matthew 5:43-48; Romans 5:8-10]
Jeff BjorganIn this series, we will tackle some of the hard sayings of Jesus. Did Jesus really say that? Here we tackle Jesus’ statement to “give to Caesar what is Caesar’s.” Is he talking about a balance between government and religion or is he suggesting something more?
[Mark 12:12-17]
Ben McGillivrayWe are in the midst of difficult times as our world wrestles with many political and social issues that challenge our Christian worldview. It turns out that Daniel lived in a similar setting and we examine how he responded to it.
[Daniel 6:1-23]
