Can a Christian lose their salvation? Is it true: once saved always saved? Can you have eternal security? Jesus promises salvation. But throughout history, many have questioned how we know if we are truly saved. Even major spiritual figures like John Wesley questioned their salvation throughout their entire lives. So how can we know for sure? And what is it that we are hoping to be sure of? That we go to heaven when we die? Or something more? Well, if you're curious to find out the answer to those questions, check out this week's video! And, as always, thanks for watching! _________________________________________________ SUBSCRIBE to get videos each week that will help you grow your relationship with Jesus and grow your church.  Click the NOTIFICATION BELL so that you don't miss out when we release new videos each week.

** I've had several requests to post this video without the background music. Thanks for the feedback! ** Correction: I made a mistake in the section on the three words for love and said that “philo” was the Greek word used in the 1 Corinthians passage. The word used here is actually “agape.” I apologize. Thank you to those who caught this mistake. Does Jesus tell us that the poor will be blessed? Should couples remember that love is patient and kind? Is Sunday supposed to be a day of rest or a day of worship? What if some of the things we thought we understood about the Bible actually weren't true? What if it was saying something very different than what we thought it was saying? This week, we're going to look at 10 words that will forever change the way you read and understand scripture.

What is the trinity? The doctrine of the Holy Trinity may be one of the most confusing theological concepts for most Christians. What exactly does it mean? Are there three gods? How does Jesus fit in? Is it even biblical? Understanding the trinity isn't easy. So, in this video, I'm going to help you understand both what the Trinity is NOT, where we find the Trinity in scripture, and how you can begin to wrap your mind around this description of who God truly is.

I'm going to share with you 5 essential things to remember when reading the Bible, and 4 insights that will help you to better understand scripture.

What is a disciple? Most Christians have heard the term. But do we really know what it means? Churches say their mission is to "make disciples." But are we all clear on what a disciple looks like? How someone becomes one? This week, we're going to break down exactly what a disciple is, based on how Jesus himself understood it. Understanding "discipleship" is essential for Christians. Check it out! ___________________________________________________________________ To learn more about discipleship at the time of Jesus and the call of Jesus' disciples, check out Rob Bell's Nooma video: Dust: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM3qHBAekhg To learn more about the Information, Imitation, Innovation triangle, check out resources by Mike Breen at: https://www.3dmpublishing.com/store-home?category=Books ___________________________________________________________________ If you haven't already, make sure to SUBSCRIBE and click the NOTIFICATION BELL so that you don't miss out when we release new videos each week.

It's one of the most common questions I get: How do I pray? On the surface, it seems so simple. Prayer should just be a conversation with God. But how do you do that? How do you talk to someone who doesn't seem to talk back? What do you say? What shouldn't you say? Fortunately for us, Jesus answers this question. Learn a simple strategy for prayer in this week's lesson. ____________________________________________________________________ Here's a list of the many names for God we find in the Bible... https://www.crosswalk.com/blogs/debbie-mcdaniel/50-names-of-jesus-who-the-bible-says-christ-is.html ____________________________________________________________________ If you haven't already, make sure to SUBSCRIBE and click the notification bell so that you don't miss out when we release new videos each week.
