Reconciliation—One of the Principal Messages of the Bible

Presented by Mark Winner - May 19, 2017

Jesus Christ’s sacrifice to pay the death penalty for our sins was the ultimate act of reconciliation. But reconciliation is also something we are to practice with one another when and as needed. We often refer to a few verses in Matthew 18 in regards to this concept, but sadly, people frequently find it difficult to practice, giving a variety of excuses. Our love for God and His truth are what will ultimately drive us to seek reconciliation when and where needed. Join Mark Winner at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Friday, May 19, for “Friday Night Live” to see what God teaches regarding this important topic.

The Gates of Hades Shall Not Prevail Against It

Presented by Joel Meeker - May 1, 2017

Jesus stated in Matthew 16:18 that He would build His Church, and that it would never die. Thus there is an unbroken chain of Church members stretching from the day of Pentecost in A.D. 31 to the present time. What traces of that seamless line can we find in history? In this Friday Night Live, Joel Meeker will present an overview of the Church’s understanding of its history through the last nearly 2,000 years. Cicero said: “To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.” We must understand our place and responsibilities in this worthy line of Christians.

Firstfruit: What Is That?

Presented by Jim Franks - April 14, 2017

After the Feast of Unleavened Bread we enter the countdown for Pentecost, which is also called the Feast of Firstfruits. We are to count 50 days from the Sunday during Unleavened Bread in order to establish the date for Pentecost. Over the years the dating of Pentecost has been controversial, and there has also been some controversy about the term “firstfruit.” This is an agricultural term that has a spiritual application. What does it really mean?

Who Are the Ministers of Jesus Christ?

Presented by Doug Horchak - February 18, 2017

Who are the real ministers of Jesus Christ? So many claim to represent God and Christ, but who are the men that actually DO represent Jesus Christ and the Church He founded? By what tradition or authority do they exist, and what role does the Bible say they should have in the Church? By reading through God’s Word, we will answer these and other questions about the servants God has commissioned to help care for His Church.

Be a Man! Or a Woman!

Presented by Dave Myers - January 20, 2017

Our current culture is confused on the topic of men and women – masculinity and femininity. What is a man and what is a woman? What is a man supposed to be like? How is he supposed to act? What is a woman supposed to be like? How is she supposed to act? And how should gentlemen and ladies interact with each other? To clear the confusion and help us to sort through the conflicting opinions offered by our culture, we’ll look to God’s Word for His framework. By using God’s word we will come to understand the basics of Godly masculinity and femininity and be encouraged to receive the joy that comes from living according to His guidelines.

Burying the Mule

Presented by Clyde Kilough - December 16, 2016

Truly forgiving other people for past hurts they have inflicted on us—some of them deep and scarring wounds—is one of the toughest challenges a Christian may face. This study will address a number of the questions and spiritual concepts about this issue, such as: Why is forgiveness so hard for humans? What about concepts “forgive and forget” or “forgiving yourself”? Can humans forgive sin? What do you do when you find you just cannot forgive someone? Oh, and about that title . . . well, you’ll just have to tune in to see what that’s all about!

Personality and Character

Presented by Andy Burnett - September 16, 2016

Psalm 133:1 states, “…how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” We tend to know it when we see it, but why is it sometimes extremely difficult to get along with certain people? Some chalk it up to personality differences while others cite character flaws as the culprit. We’ll examine God’s Word on these subjects while offering tools (e.g., discernment, understanding) on how to enhance our relationships with one another in the faith.

God’s Design For Male and Female

Presented by Dave Myers - September 12, 2016

Masculine, feminine, something in between? What’s missing in the current cultural debate over human sexuality? What defines male and female? What stand should a young Christian take with regard to gender, sexuality, and morality? Join Dave Myers on Friday evening, August 19, to learn what is the missing dimension in the current culture’s approach toward gender and sexuality. We’ll closely examine what the Creator states and then discuss the answers a Christian can give when asked about this topic.
