Thomas Nelson Johnson Ferry Baptist Church College/singles

What comes to mind when you think of the Gospel? What about when you think of God? We my need a paradigm shift in how we think about the Lord and what He does.

Paul says that he counts everything a loss except for knowing Jesus in Philippians 3. So, what is the difference between knowing God and knowing about God?

This sermon from Thomas is a Biblical view of race and diversity in the world, and how the Church should act and react in the midst of racial tension.

This week we take a page from the books of wisdom and look at 4 essentials of understanding God. What is Sabbath? Is baptism essential for salvation? What is intercessory prayer? What does the love of God sound like? Grab your Bible and a pen as we answer these questions though the Scriptures and personal testimony.

In part 3 of the series "Things That Go Bump In The Night" we take a practical look at how we inadvertently invite evil spirits into our lives, and ways to avoid oppression by these spirits. Can people be raised from the dead? Can I be possessed by evil spirits? Listen in to find out.

Do evil spirits really have territories under their command? Can they hinder my prayers being answered, and even control governments? Listen in to part 2 of the series "Things That Go Bump In The Night" to find out what The Scriptures have to say.

Do the dead roam the earth? Can spirits really haunt a place? How strong are demons? Are there more than 3 dimensions? These questions and more will be answered through the Scriptures in this series on the supernatural. This week, in part 1 we look at Angels, Demons, and how they move among us even when we can't see them. We also look at demonic influence in world religions such as Islam and Mormonism, as well as some "Christian" churches.

What is moralistic therapeutic deism? How does this idea really play into how most Christians view faith? How does this effect the rest of America? We take a look at all of these questions in the second part of the Self-Contained series.

What does it mean to say the church has become self contained? The church as a whole seems to have a skewed view of the individual Christian's role in sharing the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus. This is the intro to our current series on what it means to say that the church is Self-Contained. If we are called to Go to the nations in Matthew 28, why do we live so often in our 'holy huddle'?

This week we look at the connection between Ruth, Moses, The 10 Commandments, Pentecost, and Shavuot. Through this, we see how impeccable the Lord's timing is when we seek him with all that we have.

This week we take a closer look at the responsibilities and behaviors of a man and a women as they seek to enter into a relationship that is built around Jesus.

Here we look at one of the only Biblical models for dating and relationships. We look at the role the man and the women plays in the process.

This week we look at the story of Elisha and the young workers who jeered at him after cleansing the waters of Jericho. What does this story mean? How does it apply to me?

Even though we're crippled and broken, The Lord still invites us to sit at his table even as we fall short over and over again.

Forgiveness can be hard, but can we see God's grace in the Old Testament narrative?

Some awesome things that will never make us happy.

Why is it so important that fasting be a spiritual discipline for believers? What is it about abstaining from neccesary nourishment for a short time that is so powerful?

This week we look at the discipline of prayer. Prayer is often a hard discipline to practice. So who prayed in scripture, and how did they pray? Why is the forgiveness of sin vital to prayer?

This week we look at how much we need to be in Scripture. Without time in the Word we are completely unaware of who we are supposed to be through Christ.

This week we look at how far our picture of Jesus' first night on earth is from what scripture tells us.
