Fairest Lord Jesus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Text: Psalm 45 -- Guest speaker: Rick Anderson -- In Psalm 45, we have a divine song of love that lifts our eyes to the beauty, majesty, and victory of Jesus Christ—the King who is fully God, full of grace, and worthy of all our affection. It isn't enough to merely observe Christ from a distance. We must behold Him as He is: the Savior who gave Himself for sinners, who reigns in righteousness, and who receives His redeemed people as His beloved bride. -- Woodland Park Bible Church is located in
Take Up the Cross of Christ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Text: Mark 8:27–38 -- Guest speaker: Brett Nelson -- Who is Jesus, and why follow him? Jesus' response to Peter's confession of Jesus as the Christ reveals how easily human expectations can distort the meaning of discipleship.

We also talk about "free will," what it means, and how it relates to God's sovereignty in election and predestination. When we look at the Bible's teaching on both of these topics, we learn that Go
Aliens, Conviction, “In Christ”—Oh My! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Text: Selected Scriptures -- Speaker: Tony de la Riva -- What does it mean to be “in Christ?” How should believers respond to guilt or doubt? What about aliens—do they really exist? When we consider the Bible's answers to those questions, what becomes clear is that the believer is secure in Christ—no matter how they feel from day to day or whatever life forms might or might not exist "out there." Whether the threats are from without or within, the Word of God calls us to rest in the love of God
