Give & Take: The Power of Encouragement, Part 4
The greatest encouragement we can give someone is to love them, but the apostle Paul gives us an impossible standard for love in 1 Corinthians 13. Biblical love is always at odds with the self-centered elements our fallen nature like envy, jealousy and pride. To love someone in the truest sense is impossible apart from Christ.

Role Call, Part 3: In the Church
As we continue in our series on gender roles, Pastor Mike looks at roles in the context of the body of Christ – the church. The second half of 1 Timothy 2 has often been misinterpreted and misused. While scripture prohibits women from pastor/elder roles in context of the local church, the sweeping narrative of scripture provides clarity – men and women, while different in role, are equal in value before God.

Life Will Be Better When… Part 1
Most of us live with the mentality of “life will be better when…” and constantly look ahead to the next big thing that will surely bring happiness. This is a pattern that can be traced from birth to death, yet we never find the satisfaction we crave. Instead, we are often crushed by the weight of expectation of the future “whens”. We must never let our expectations of the future keep us from being good stewards of the present.

Watch / ListenWhat the Bible Says About Itself – Part 1
Amongst the many church activities and programs available to Christians, one thing often missing is teaching people how to feed themselves from the Word of God. Pastor Mike begins a 3-part series on the whys and hows of delving into the Word, which is a gift of revelation from God.
ListenTogether @ RBC, Part 1 – Why Are You Here?
Pastor Tony Pedroni draws from 1 Cor. 12 to answer the question “why are you here?” The answer lies in the gifting God has given us for His glory and for the good of His church. To find your gifting, identify your passion, find a need, and start serving.
