Jesus as Lord and Christ

 By Stephen Venable
Posted on January 5, 2012

In today's Christianity, "Christ" has become a synonym for "Jesus", and "Lord" has become a synonym for "master". But for the early church, Lord and Christ had significant meaning.

In this teaching, Stephen Venable analyzes Peter's sermon in Acts 2. By His resurrection, Jesus was confirmed to be the Christ, the anointed king who would sit on David's throne in Jerusalem. By His ascension, Jesus was confirmed to be the Lord, the Creator and Sustainer of all things, because He took His seat on God's throne at His right hand.

The significance of this truth cannot be...

Deception and the Preeminence of Jesus

 By Josh Hawkins
Posted on December 24, 2011

The same question Jesus asked His disciples 2,000 years ago is the same one He is posing to us today. "Who do you say that I am?" Answering this question correctly is essential for the believer, especially because of the hour that we live in.

In this teaching, Josh highlights the identity of Jesus and His equality with God as the primary issue of deception at the end of the age. Currently we are witnessing four general negative trends today that must be viewed as nothing short of a full-blown crisis in light of the coming delusion spoken about in the Scriptures.

Doctrine and the pastoral ministry

 By Josh Hawkins
Posted on July 30, 2011

In our modern churchgoing generation, the word doctrine often bears a scholarly, academic stigma. Most western Christians would not say that they are into doctrine. However, most would probably say they are into truth. This dichotomy is an unbiblical one. Doctrine is simply the ordering of truth, and the way that Biblical truths fit together as sound doctrine matters much more to the health and vibrancy of our hearts than we probably realize.

Another unbiblical dichotomy we often make is between the teaching of sound doctrine...

The great line of division: Is Jesus God?

 By Josh Hawkins
Posted on September 18, 2008

I believe the greatest point of contention that men will wrestle with at the end of the age is the identity of Jesus. Is he just a good man that lived a few thousand years ago or is He fully God?

I’ve been studying Christology lately, and even just yesterday my roommate Tim spoke to some Jehovah’s Witnesses at our door. As we were talking last night, we both quickly made the point that the root of the problem in their faith is their misunderstanding of the person of Jesus. They believe He was just a mediator for a super-spiritual class of believers throughout history, the 144,...

Discerning Truth and Error about God's Grace

 By Mike Bickle
Posted on August 3, 2007

The most common area of false teaching is that which perverts biblical understanding of the grace of God. They pervert God’s grace by reducing its message to receiving forgiveness without repentance and seeking to make people comfortable with God while continuing in their sin.

The grace message inspires us to deny lust and gives us power to walk godly. We want the true teaching on grace because that is the only way that we will experience God’s power in our spirit.

Much of the “grace teaching” in the body of Christ is not true grace teaching. It is distorted because it...
