You will find the most recent teaching audios and teaching notes below. Other teachings can be found by category under the Teaching Categories menu in the right column.

These audio messages were recorded in our house church settings. Instead of the speaker giving a lecture-style message, these messages were delivered amongst much interaction from the entire church. You will hear others giving their comments, insights, asking questions, debating, and interrupting the teacher! We hope this is not too unsettling for you. All of this takes place regularly as we seek to understand and obey God's Word together from week to week, and we accept it as "normal" in our common life together in Christ.

God's Judgment of Christian Workers
1 Corinthians
Sunday, August 29, 2010
How will God judge Christian Workers -- those that lead, preach and teach God's people? What will He be looking for? How can those of us who have leadership in the body of Christ make sure we are preparing ourselves for this solemn judgment to come? How can we "be careful how we build upon the foundation" Paul laid? In this study, we examine Paul's architectural metaphor of those that work to construct God's building - God's temple, and the fire which will test the qualitiy of their works.

The Wisdom of God
1 Corinthians
Sunday, August 22, 2010
Man's wisdom differs greatly from God's wisdom! In this study we examine the entire 2nd chapter of 1 Corinthians to discover Paul's preaching of God's Wisdom, the rulers' blindness to God's wisdom, Paul's revelation of God's wisdom, and man's response to God's wisdom. In so doing, we discover some very important lessons about how God would have us seek to win people for Christ.

Christ: The Power and Wisdom of God
1 Corinthians
Sunday, August 08, 2010
Have you ever wondered why some people respond eagerly to the gospel, while others ignore or reject it? In this study the apostle Paul answers that question. He tells us how the Jews responded to the message of Christ crucified -- they stumbled at it. He tells us how the Greeks responded -- they laughed at it. However, there were some Jews and some Greeks that found Christ to be the power and wisdom of God. Find out why they responded this way in this study!

Putting Away Party Divisions
1 Corinthians
Sunday, August 01, 2010
In the church of Corinth the brethren had lined up under certain preachers like Paul, Apollos and Cephas, while others said they were devoted only to Christ. This brings up the age old problem of division in the church and God's attitude toward it. Listen in as we discuss this problem and how we can seek to avoid it.
