Responding to the Message

Chris Hearty
James 1:19-27

How do we prepare the soil of our heart to welcome the God's message/ Receive the word of God by paying careful attention in order to truly understand it. Be wise listeners, who are slow to speak and slow to anger. And finally, keeping your attention fixed on the perfect law of liberty, be a purposeful doer of the Word; Put into practice what you know to be true.

Being God's Child

James Rochford
Psalms 131:1-3

The psalmist demonstrates how we can come to God and rest, the way a child rests in its mother's arms. Elsewhere in the Bible, we read that God wants to be our perfect heavenly father. These images show the deep care God has for His children and the tender, intimate relationship we can have when we spend time with Him.

The Body of Christ

Chris Hearty
Romans 12:3-21

The Body of Christ is filled with people with many diverse giftings, supernaturally empowered to serve the Body of Christ as well as the world at large. Every member of the Body has a unique role that they can fulfill to demonstrate the love of God to a lost world. God is calling each one of us in the Body to step out in faith and let our love for one another shine brightly in a dark world.

Applying Isaiah's Anonymous Servant Passages

Gary DeLashmutt
Isaiah 53

Many Christians are aware that Isaiah 42, 49, 50, and 53 predict Jesus' first coming. Few realize, however, that the New Testament also applies these passages to Jesus' followers. This workshop explores these applications so that believers can become more effective servants of the Servant.\r\n

Two Lepers

Jim Leffel
2 Kings 5:1-27

Jim Leffel discusses a tale of two lepers, Naaman and Gehazi, which reveals elements of Biblical irony. Naaman was an honorable Aramean army captain and far from God while Gehazi was Elisha's servant. Naaman eventually humbled himself and trusted in God's grace. His life was transformed and he sought God's reputation over this world, while Gehazi's life was destroyed as he sought the world and misrepresented God.\r\n

The Beginning of the Babel Project

Gary DeLashmutt
Genesis 11:1-9

Genesis 10 and 11 tell the story of the Babal project, in which man sought to build a tower for astrological worship. The tower represented their attempt to unite humanity under human rule, in defiance of God's direction to spread out. God responded by thwarting their plan and confusing their language, forcing them to spread out. Through Biblical stories and history, we see God judging human empires, in keeping with His opposition to the "proud," but we also see God giving grace through the Messiah for those who humble themselves before God.

The Tower of Babel

Mike Sullivan
Genesis 9:1-11:9

After the great flood and united in language and purpose, people try to make a name for themselves by erecting a great tower--a prideful act of rebellion. God thwarts their plans, but their story is not unique; throughout history, man's chief problem has been pride and we are not immune. In dependence on God, we must pursue humility in order to live a life of peace and fulfillment as we live in proper relationship to God.
