  Trust Is Built By... / Pastor Dennis St. Lawrence

  Sep 17, 202629 minS44

  Pastor Dennis St. Lawrence opens with Proverbs 20:6 — "Many will tell you they are loyal friends, but who can find one who is truly trustworthy?" — and shifts the focus from a broken world's untrustworthiness to the personal question every believer should ask: am I trustworthy? Drawing from a secular book on trust, he presents eight qualities that build trust in every area of life. Scripture Texts Proverbs 20:6; Proverbs 28:13; Ecclesiastes 9:10; 1 Corinthians 13; Ephesians 4:15 Main Points or Ideas Character - Doing what is right when no one is looking; being dependable regardless of the cost. Competency - Character without skill is incomplete. A mechanic with great integrity who cannot fix the car, or a skilled mechanic who cheats customers, both fall short. Believers must pursue excellence in whatever God has called them to do — the inward man can keep growing and improving until the day of death. Consistency - Anybody can perform well briefly, but lasting trust is built by day-in, day-out faithfulness in character and excellence. Being a "steady Eddie" — someone others know exactly what to expect from — is a powerful testimony. Conviction and Commitment - Ecclesiastes 9:10 calls believers to do whatever their hand finds with all their strength. Half-heartedness does not build trust. Passion, wholehearted commitment, and a clear sense that "this is what God wants me to do, and I am all in" are visible to everyone around us. Compassion - 1 Corinthians 13 says that oratory, knowledge, and faith without love amount to nothing — a clanging cymbal. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Truth without genuine love fails to land. Communication - Ephesians 4:15 commands speaking the truth in love. Four rules of trustworthy communication: be honest, keep current, attack the problem not the person, and act rather than react. Evasion, dishonesty, or emotional reactivity erode trust quickly. Courage - Paul stood alone when no one else would. There will be times when doing what is right draws criticism and isolation. Trusting God more than the approval of others — while remaining open to genuine correction — and maintaining a right spirit through it is what builds lasting trust. Confession - Proverbs 28:13 promises mercy to those who confess and forsake sin. Failure does not destroy trust; how a person responds to failure does. Owning mistakes without blame or excuses, seeking forgiveness, and making things right are marks of a person others can trust. Conclusion Pastor St. Lawrence closes by pointing to God as the perfect embodiment of all eight qualities — except confession, since God never sins. Because God is trustworthy, believers can trust him. And because they trust God, they should live in such a way that others can trust them.

  Dating, Part 1 / Dr. Jim Tillotson

  Sep 16, 202627 minS44

  Dr. Jim Tillotson opens the first of a three-part dating series by grounding the topic in biblical priorities and framing marriage as the ultimate purpose of dating — while also affirming that not everyone is called to marry. He covers the foundations of friendship, God's design for marriage, and the importance of a healthy self-image before any dating relationship begins. Scripture Texts Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; Proverbs 18:22; Genesis 2:18-24; Hebrews 13:4; Mark 10:2-9; Psalm 139:13-14 Main Points or Ideas Start with friendship - Ecclesiastes 4 establishes that God did not design people to be alone — whether or not they marry, every believer needs a genuine friend. Tillotson urges students to spend the early weeks of the semester building broad friendships with people of both sexes before pairing off, warning that moving too quickly into dating narrows the field prematurely and puts unfair pressure on early interactions. God's design for marriage - Genesis 2 establishes that marriage was God's idea before sin entered the world. Woman was created as a suitable completer for man — not above him or below him, but alongside him. Marriage is permanent (Mark 10), and Hebrews 13:4 declares that sex within marriage is honorable and undefiled. Tillotson argues that the world inverts God's order (physical first, then emotional and spiritual), while God's design works from spiritual and emotional connection outward — and that following God's order produces the best result. A healthy self-image is the prerequisite for dating - Students who try to find their identity and worth through a dating relationship will put unfair expectations on the other person and set themselves up for disappointment. Four handles for building a God-honoring self-image: realize your importance to God (made in his image); value inner character over outer appearance (God looks at the heart); accept how God made you (Psalm 139 — your physical traits are not accidents); and improve what you can (hygiene, communication, dress, and social skills are all improvable). Conclusion Dr. Jim closes by encouraging students to carry the booklet for all three sessions, accept who they are while working on what they can improve, and build the kind of genuine friendships that form the only solid foundation for any future dating relationship. Parts two and three — covering who to date and how to date — will follow in subsequent sessions.

  Alcoholism / Dr. Doug Brown

  Sep 14, 202638 minS44

  Dr. Doug Brown opens by acknowledging that alcohol is a controversial topic across evangelicalism, with many Baptist churches now removing abstinence clauses from their covenants. He was asked by the administration to address the topic, and he does so by working through the context of Ephesians 5:18 and its surrounding verses, arguing that the passage calls believers to a walk of wisdom — and that abstinence is the wisest choice. Scripture Texts Ephesians 5:15-21; Luke 15:13; 1 Peter 4:3-4 Main Points or Ideas Walk in wisdom (Ephesians 5:15-17) - The surrounding paragraph in Ephesians 5 calls believers to walk worthy of the gospel — in love and in light. Verse fifteen commands wise walking rather than unwise, making the most of the time because the days are evil. Verse seventeen commands understanding the will of God — not mystically discerning decisions about career or marriage, but taking the revealed Word of God and applying it in everyday situations. Wisdom is about conduct and thinking, not just intention. Don't get drunk (Ephesians 5:18a) - The word for debauchery in verse eighteen carries the idea of a wasted life — the same root word used in the prodigal son's "reckless living" and in 1 Peter 4:3's "flood of debauchery." Paul may have been addressing the Ephesian context of Dionysus worship, where pagan worshipers got drunk to become conduits for the spiritual realm, but the warning applies broadly: alcohol impairs judgment, opens the door to sexual immorality, and leads to devastation in families and churches. Brown notes that seventy percent of the audience raised their hand when asked if their family or a friend's family has been impacted by alcohol abuse — and that over ninety percent of sexual assaults on college campuses are linked to alcohol use. His personal conclusion, and his counsel, is that abstinence is the wisest choice. Be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18b) - In direct contrast to the influence of alcohol, Paul commands being filled with the Spirit — a supernatural influence that moves believers to do what they would not naturally do. As Ephesians frames the church as the new temple of God, the Holy Spirit is the Shekinah presence that dwells within each believer. The results of being Spirit-filled (vv. 19-21) are thanksgiving, mutual submission, and praise — the marks of a life transformed from the inside out, not one that must be altered from the outside in by a substance. Conclusion Dr. Doug closes by urging students to walk wisely, redeeming the time because the days are evil. Alcohol may not be categorically forbidden in Scripture, but drunkenness is — and the risk of crossing that line, combined with the devastation he has witnessed over a lifetime of pastoral ministry, leads him to commend total abstinence as the wisest path for believers in ministry.

  Miracle of Salvation / Bob Roberts

  Sep 11, 202637 minS44

  Bob Roberts continues his walk through John's Gospel by surveying the seven signs before focusing on the sixth — the healing of the man born blind — and arguing that the greatest miracle in the chapter is not the physical healing but the moment the blind man said "Lord, I believe" and worshiped. That miracle of regeneration, he argues, is still going on today. Scripture Text John 9:1-38 Main Points or Ideas Heaven flexes in weakness - When the disciples ask who sinned to cause this man's blindness, Jesus reorients their whole framework: neither this man nor his parents, but that the works of God should be displayed in him. Roberts argues that heaven consistently chooses to demonstrate its power and quality not through strength but through redeemed tragedy — Bobby McCoy, a quadriplegic pastor who says he would not trade his wheelchair; Phan Thi Kim, the Vietnam War napalm girl who came to Christ through her scars; Fanny Crosby, who wrote eight thousand hymns and said she would not trade her blindness because it kept her from distraction and set her face toward Christ. Real Christianity, Roberts argues, is not natural — it is supernatural. Mercy over man-made fences - Jesus makes the mud on the Sabbath, deliberately breaking three man-made derivative rules (not God's rules). The Pharisees' verdict: this man is not of God. Jesus's verdict: you reject God's commandment to keep your own tradition. Roberts sees this as a recurring pattern in the Gospels — Jesus always prioritizing mercy over religious fencing, grace over judgment, the cosmic conquest of love over checklist religion. The greater miracle: the blind man's faith - The physical healing is remarkable, but Roberts identifies the climax of the chapter as verse 38: "Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him." That is the miracle that is still happening. Jesus quickens dead hearts and turns rebel enemies into worshiping sons and daughters. Roberts closes by applying this directly to a group of about a thousand teenagers coming to campus for Faith Fest the next day, urging students to pray that God would do that same miracle — creating more worshipers through the gospel. Suffering as participation in Christ - Roberts draws on Colossians 1:24 and his own stage-four cancer diagnosis to address the theology of suffering. Christ left no unfinished atonement, but he left an unfinished allotment of affliction for his body. Every generation takes its portion. Roberts testifies that when he finally accepted the invitation to board the "stage four train," he found Christ present in it every moment — and that he would not trade the suffering for anything, because it has brought him to know Jesus better. Conclusion Bob Roberts closes with John 9:38 as the summary of the whole message: a man who had been blind from birth, sent through mud and water, came back seeing — and then bowed and believed. The miracle of salvation, the creation of new worshipers, is the greatest sign in the Gospel of John, and it is still happening. May God, in his mercy, do it again.

  Us Time with God / Matt Galvan

  Sep 9, 202634 minS44

  Matt Galvan opens by situating the church of Ephesus historically — a forty-five-year-old, well-established congregation with sound doctrine, active service, endurance under pressure, and zero tolerance for false teaching. He then asks: what could Jesus possibly rebuke a church like that for? The answer to that question drives the entire message. Scripture Text Revelation 2:1-7; Philippians 3:10 Main Points or Ideas Christ's characteristic - Jesus introduces himself to the Ephesian church as the one who holds the seven stars and walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks — that is, he is actively present among his churches and sees everything. He comes not as a detached observer but as one who walks through and inspects, missing nothing. Christ's compliment - Jesus commends the church at Ephesus for four things: hard work and labor, patient endurance under pressure, intolerance of blatant sin, and sound doctrinal discernment in rejecting false apostles. Galvan applies this to the student body — serving God, not quitting when things get hard, pursuing right doctrine — and affirms that Jesus sees and commends it. Christ's rebuke - With one word — "nevertheless" — everything changes. Jesus says, "I have this against you: you have left your first love." First love is honeymoon love: fervent, personal, uninhibited, and openly displayed. Using the marriage analogy, Galvan argues that the Ephesians had let life — not sinful things, but busy, good things — crowd out "us time" with Jesus. They were theologically straight but had lost the personal intimacy that makes doctrine living. Jesus says: I miss when you used to pray about everything, read the Word desperate to hear from me, and needed me for every situation. That intimacy had been replaced by routine. Christ's command - Jesus gives three imperatives: remember, repent, and repeat the first works. Remember how devoted you once were. Repent — not with excuses but with genuine sorrow and willingness to change. Repeat the practices of early love: personal Bible reading, prayer, desperate dependence on God. The warning is sobering: the church at Ephesus eventually disintegrated — not for lack of programs, but because they never returned to us time. Conclusion Galvan closes with three diagnostic questions: What three things most quickly distract you from time with God? What does Jesus want to do with you during that time? And what entertainments or pleasures never get skipped on days when devotions do? Jesus's appeal to Ephesus is the same appeal to every student: come back to us time — before it's too late.
