Appleton Gospel ChurchSpiritual Dependence (Values of the Cross)Spiritual Dependence (Values of the Cross): The way of Jesus is fundamentally different from the ways of the world. Why? Because the story of the cross produces unique values that transform our focus, conflicts, purpose, allegiance — everything! Lent is a season to reflect on these unique values. And prayer and fasting, two traditional practices of Lent, can be great tools to help us refocus on our spiritual dependence on God. Recorded on Mar 16, 2025, on Matthew 6:5-18 by Pastor David Parks.

Is there a way to work hard for the glory of God without dying on the altar of productivity? In the story of creation, God modeled productive work and meaningful rest. The lesson of the Sabbath is that God clearly expected his people to adopt this same pattern as a sign of their relationship with him — a sign ultimately fulfilled by Christ.

The ministry of the priests and Levites of ancient Israel might seem very disconnected from modern life. However, their ministry — representing the people to God and God and his will to the people — reveals a pattern that still applies today. As we follow Jesus, our Great High Priest, we are invited to join him in his priestly ministry. And what could be more significant than that?

In the covenant offered at Mount Sinai, God made a way where there was no way — so people might have peace and friendship with him.

Jesus has come; he has established his church and given us the Holy Spirit and the gospel — but there will still be darkness until the return of our King.

In one of the most crucial chapters in the Bible, we find that the great, big beating heart of God behind all his saving work is this: to have a real, intimate, and life-giving relationship with people — people who have been separated from a holy God by their sin — but people who are still greatly loved and are precious to God.

As followers of Jesus, how do we fight our battles? When the Amalekites attacked the Israelites at Rephidim, the people, led by Joshua, had to fight. But the Lord brought the victory through the intercession of Moses, acting as a mediator.

ArchiveRedeeming SinglenessRedeeming Singleness: In the Christian life, is it better to stay single or to become married? There is not a simple, black-and-white answer for everyone. While marriage can provide loving companionship in our short time on earth, it is not without the difficulties and distractions of family life. Remaining single can allow you to focus more easily on a life of undivided devotion to the Lord. Regardless of marital status, we must evaluate our priorities in light of eternity, avoiding distractions and focusing wholeheartedly on serving the Lord.

Conversations about sexual immorality and pornography are often challenging to have within the Church’s fellowship. My guest in this episode is Dr. David Parks, Director of the Global Center at Beeson Divinity School. We address the impact of the pornification of societies on the Church and Her mission.
Why is this a missiological matter? Why are there few conversations regarding this topic? Is the pornification of societies truly a global issue? If so, how are Majority World Church leaders addressing this matter? How do honor-shame cultures respond to this reality?

One of the central doctrines of Christianity is justification by faith. We all long to be justified; we long to to prove ourselves to (and to receive the approval of) other people. This longing is a sign pointing to our need to be justified or "declared righteous" by God. However, all have sinned and stand guilty (not righteous) before God. The good news of the gospel is that we are not justified by works, but by faith in Jesus Christ. This means that there is hope fo...2015-02-2744 minArchiveLiving By FaithLiving By Faith: This sermon is part of Galatians: The Gospel of Grace series. After carefully defending the doctrine of justification by faith, the Apostle Paul continues with a strong rebuke and correction on the life of faith. This is a major point of the gospel on which the Galatians are being confused and led astray. What does it mean to live by faith? Faith is trust in God which leads to a miraculous, spiritual life of blessing.

Many people form their identity around people, place, past, passion, personality, or profession. By faith in Christ, we have a new relationship with God, a new identity as adopted children of God, and a new, eternal inheritance as heirs of God. If God has adopted you, then you are incredibly valuable and death is not the end.

There is much confusion in our culture today about what it means to be a Christian. What makes you a Christian?? Baptism? Church attendance? Being a good person?? Everyone wants to know God and be known by God and the basic way the world thinks that God can be known is through religious activity. However, the Apostle Paul says this way of life does not lead to freedom, but rather slavery. This is the worst life. The only true way to know God (and be known by...2015-02-2742 minArchiveFreedom In ChristFreedom In Christ: This sermon is part of Galatians: The Gospel of Grace series. "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free." Why is the gospel good news? A huge part of the goodness of the gospel is freedom in Christ. Freedom in Christ is freedom from sin which is accomplished in Christ, given by the grace of God, and received by faith alone. Freedom in Christ is experienced through the Spirit and, while the message about sin may be offensive to some, this freedom is worth fighting for.
