Mon, 03 May 2010 00:00:00 EST

Monday, May 3, 2010 Host: Pastor Bob DeWaay In this program we discuss the Emergent concept of being missional.

The Need for Elders Who Guard the Flock

Mon, 05 Apr 2010 00:00:00 EST

Monday, April 5, 2010 Host: Pastor Bob DeWaay In Acts 20 Paul charged the elders in Ephesus to “guard the flock” against wolves that bring false teaching. In Titus and Timothy Paul also gave elders the responsibility to teach true doctrine and refute false doctrine. In today’s evangelical world, very few churches have elders who are able to do this and the results are harmful to the Lord’s flock.

The Profundity of Simple Christian Worship

Mon, 22 Mar 2010 00:00:00 EST

Monday, March 22, 2010 Host: Pastor Bob DeWaay The Hebrew Christians were tempted to go back to the temple Judaism because it offered tangibility and excitement that meeting in the simple house churches of the time could not offer. But they are told to offer the sacrifice of praise, do good and be generous. We discuss how Christianity has often gone astray by neglecting simple Christian worship in exchange for something that appears more exciting. Hebrews 13:13 - 25

Monday, February 15, 2010 Host: Pastor Bob DeWaay We are instructed to pursue peace and sanctification because of the danger of the community being defiled by the presence of apostates. Esau is used as an example of such a person. We apply this to apostasy in the church today. Hebrews 12:14 - 16

FREE PDF Download:“Church Health Award” From Rick Warren or Jesus Christ?

A Study of the Seven Churches in Revelation by Bob DeWaay We are awash in information about how to have healthy and successful churches. Rick Warren's Purpose Driven church movement claims to have trained many thousands of pastors around the world. The churches who most successfully copy Rick Warren’s pattern are honored with a "Church Health Award." Shall modern technocrats like Rick Warren set the standards for what is pleasing to God in a local church or should Jesus Christ Himself set these standards?

Jesus, as the head of the church, will ultimately judge His church. He gave us the seven inspired messages to the seven churches so that we might know what He commends and what He condemns.
