They will look at these examples as well as passages that give us direction in our Christian parenting and consider the application of these truths to our lives as Christian parents. Join us for a helpful review of the important responsibility of Christians in their role as parents.
Join Pastor Mark Tiefel as he describes and defines the word “Scriptures” and show where it came from. This term is derived from Latin and Greek and simply means “writings”. From this basic definition we are simply saying that these books of the Bible are simply things that were written. But there is a deeper meaning as well. The writings of the books of the Bible were different from other writings. Jesus Himself understood and declares that these writings are from God. The apostles also use this term to show that the writings of the Old and New Testaments are holy, or given by God. They are God’s words, not man’s. What a blessing that God had communicated these truths to us through the Scriptures!

Join Pastor Mark Tiefel and Sam Rodebaugh as they discuss a recent video by Quarterback Drew Brees and its relationship with Focus on the Family.

Join them to learn about how a Christian should respond to those who call them a bigot or a hater and why it is important to go back to what love really is. They will also talk about what Christianity is all about: It is not about our love for God or others, but the love of God for us.
Pastor Sam Rodebaugh joins Pastor Nathanael Mayhew to discuss an article in USA Today by a teenager about the problems with Christianity and the church. We will take a look at how she and others view church and discuss the problem with where they are coming from. We will also discuss the purpose of church and why it is important to be different from the world. Join us for this insightful discussion.
What is a disciple? Basically it means “one who follows” but we find that it is much more than just that. Pastor Mark Tiefel defines the word disciple and also points to what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Following Jesus implies endurance. Those who follow Jesus will be disciplined as His disciples, and while that may be difficult, it is better to be disciplined then to be lost and separated from God.
