Episode 139: The Jim Elliot test
Psalm 91 contains some of the most confident statements of God’s protection to be found anywhere in the Psalter; such words have been a comfort to countless believers through the centuries. But as I’ve suggested repeatedly, I'm concerned about how people treat verses like these as inviolable "promi…
Episode 138: Shadow of the Almighty
Elisabeth Elliot’s account of her husband Jim’s missionary career—a career which ended with his martyrdom—is entitled, The Shadow of the Almighty. The title is taken from the opening line of Psalm 91, which uses imagery reminiscent of the opening of Psalm 57. Unlike Psalm 57, however, Psalm 91 is n…

The Cost of Discipleship - Week 1: Count the Cost
This week Pastor Mel began a new series, The Cost of Discipleship, with Luke 14:25-33.

In this message from the Life Under the Sun series in Ecclesiastes 9–10, Pastor Paul Durbin walks us through Solomon's honest look at life on planet earth—where no one escapes death, hard work doesn't always win the day, and a little folly can spoil a whole lot of good.

Even If It Costs Me Everything | EVEN IF SERIES
Most of us carry one quiet condition on our faith: I'll follow Jesus, as long as it doesn't cost me too much. Right now, more than 380 million Christians live in places where following Jesus costs them something real, and they keep following Him anyway. They know what Jim Elliot knew: "He is no foo…
