A Life the Gospel Produces
Robert Canfield teaches that believers should live in a way that reflects the transforming power of the gospel by remaining united with other believers, maintaining a strong testimony, and striving together for Christ’s mission.
Our Highest Calling
Dr. Charles Blackstock teaches that the highest calling of the Christian life is to love others by laying down our own desires and living to meet the needs of those around us, just as Christ laid down His life for us.
Overcoming the World
Dr. Charles Blackstock teaches that every believer faces three powerful enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil, but God has provided spiritual weapons to overcome them.
For the Gospel
Dr. Charles Blackstock teaches that the central mission of the church must always remain the proclamation of the gospel and the salvation of souls, just as Paul committed himself to becoming “all things to all men” so that some might be saved. When churches lose that focus and replace it with preferences, programs, or cultural battles, they risk missing their true purpose and leaving people lost without Christ.
It Takes Jesus
Dr. Charles Blackstock emphasizes that real change in our lives, families, church, and world cannot come through human wisdom, programs, or effort alone; it requires the power and presence of Jesus. If we truly want to make a difference, we must seek Christ personally and allow our relationship with Him to shape everything we do.
Live the Book
Chris Cowan teaches that believers cannot experience the peace and joy God promises unless they actively live out the truths of Scripture rather than merely hearing or knowing them.
The Limits of Knowledge
Dr. Charles Blackstock teaches that while knowledge is important, it has limits; simply knowing the truth does not guarantee that we will live it or become wise. True spiritual growth comes when knowledge is combined with understanding and applied through obedience, transforming our lives and helping us build up others.
A Church Making A Difference
Dr. Charles Blackstock challenges the church to move beyond simply attending services and instead live with compassion that actively changes lives. He challenges us to be a church making a difference.
Bible Believers
Dr. Charles Blackstock challenges Christians to examine whether their beliefs truly come from Scripture or from traditions, culture, and personal preferences.
Returning to the Father’s Presence
Using the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, Missionary Brad Brandon highlights God’s relentless love in pursuing those who are lost and His joy when they return home. It challenges believers not only to avoid living far from God, as the younger son did, but also to guard against becoming like the older son, busy serving yet distant from the Father’s presence.
