DOGMA

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect — 1 Peter 3:15

Do you know what you believe? Do you know what the Bible teaches? Do you believe what the Bible teaches? In this series, we cover the fundamental doctrines of Christian faith as taught in the Bible and attempt to remove the dogmatic overtones pressed upon us by centuries of tradition. As our guide through this study, we will simply take the Core Beliefs of the church Statement of Faith and study the statements phrase by phrase to unpack their meaning, Scriptural validation, and contemporary application.

077-01 :: DOGMA Part 01 :: The Bible

What could you possibly say to make me change my beliefs? What could you possibly do to convince me that I’m wrong about something? Answer: Use the Bible. In this message.

077-02 :: DOGMA Part 02 :: The Trinity (w/ Live Q&A)

One of the most complicated concepts to grasp is the notion that God is three-in-one. The Trinity is the conviction that the Bible means what it says. When it teaches that God is one and that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are equally God, we simply believe both propositions are true at the same time. […]

077-03 :: DOGMA Part 03 :: God the Father (w/ Live Q&A)

What comes to mind when you think about God? What images come to mind? Do you think of God like an old man on a throne? Like a breeze blowing through the trees? Like an impersonal force? In this message, we learn that all human language for God falls short especially when we take what […]

077-04 :: DOGMA Part 04 :: Jesus Christ (w/ Live Q&A)

How well do you know Jesus? The fundamental truths about Jesus are just as complex and sometimes confusing as the doctrine of the Trinity itself, but understanding who Jesus is forms the foundation for everything in the Christian faith. After all, we call ourselves “Christians” because we follow Jesus Christ! In this message, Pastor Jeff […]

077-05 :: DOGMA Part 05 :: Holy Spirit (w/ Live Q&A)

The Holy Spirit is the mysterious and often forgotten third member of the Trinity. Some churches emphasize the role of the Spirit above nearly everything else including the Bible. Some churches emphasize the Bible and every other doctrine while effectively ignoring the Holy Spirit. Some debate on what role the Holy Spirit plays in the […]

077-06 :: DOGMA Part 06 :: Regeneration

All people are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under condemnation. Those who repent of their sins and surrender their lives to Jesus are regenerated by the Holy Spirit (John 1:12-13, John 3:3, 16-17, Acts 20:21, Ephesians 2:1-9, Titus 3:5). In this message, Pastor Jeff walks us through the central truth of […]
