If you want to learn the deep truths, you need to get back to basics.

God Is (Jim Wilson)

What holds you up – your faith, or God’s faithfulness? When it comes right down to it, our ability to obey has nothing to do with us—it comes from God’s faithfulness.

God is kind, God is faithful, and His kindness leads us to turn to Him. Trust God to protect you.

Faith in His Faithfulness (Jim Wilson)

Discipline involves correcting your kids when they do something wrong, but it is much more than that. There is a positive aspect of discipline as well. When you tell your child, “Good job!” for something they have done, that is positive discipline, and it is essential.

Discipline is a means of encouraging your children and producing a sense of security in them. Discipline must always be an act of love done for the children, not a self-centered act—when God rebukes you, it is always for your best interests.

Disciplining Children in Love 1 (Doug Wilson)

This talk covers the negative aspect of discipline, including: 1) how to spank and 2) what to discipline for.

All children are descended from Adam and are naturally sinful. You don’t need to teach your kids to lie, fight, or be selfish—you must train them not to.

Scripture tells that not only is spanking not child abuse—refusing to spank your children is an act of hatred. “He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him” (Proverbs 13:24).

Yet “he who loves him is *careful* to discipline him.” Discipline is careful. If you boil over and let your kids have it in anger, that is not biblical discipline, either.

Disciplining Children in Love 2 (Doug Wilson)

The gospel lived opens people’s eyes to the truth. The gospel proclaimed brings them to Christ. Here is how to help people understand and respond to the gospel.

“I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me” (Acts 26:17-18).

Evangelism: Understanding the Gospel (Jim Wilson)

There are four wills involved in anyone’s salvation. God’s will is for all men to be saved. He commands everyone to repent, and He commands Christians to witness to the lost. This is an informal discussion of the Christian's role in leading others to Christ.

Loving Your Neighbor (Doug Busby)

“Repent and believe” is the constant theme of the New Testament. But repentance is more than just feeling troubled about your sin. (Even Judas did that.)

Repentance means:

Defining sin according to the Word of God.
Sorrow and shame for sin.
Confession of sin.
Hatred of sin.
Forsaking sin.

The Marks of True Repentance (Doug Wilson)

God is holy, and He requires us to be holy, too—and not just when we get to heaven. 

What does holiness mean, and how do we get holy?

Holiness (Jim Wilson)

What does the Bible tell us about the Holy Spirit? Here is a quick overview.

The Spirit is a person, not a power. He is our counselor. He is God. He was involved in creation…
