Can I be called a “Christian”?
​
If the county prosecutor were to file charges against you in court for being a “Christian,” could he provide enough evidence to a jury to get a conviction? Would your co-workers agree with an allegation that you’re a “Christian?” Today, Pastor Greg Byman explores Acts 11:26 where believers in Jesus Christ were first called “Christians” at the ancient city of Antioch. Bearing the name “Christian” was a much heavier burden than today, and Pastor Byman challenges us to carefully consider the authenticity of our faith and our relationship with God.

​Last week, Pastor Byman talked about our desire for maturity and this week he talks about the fuel for that maturity -- reading God's Word. The believer only knows about God because God mercifully revealed himself through his holy Word, the Bible. Pastor Byman starts in Psalm 119, where David is not grousing through the Word as a duty to fulfill, but a joy to consume, even comparing the Word as a delicious meal.

We all want maturity, but how do you know you're actually making progress? This week, Pastor Greg Byman takes a look at 1 Thessalonians 1:3, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and Hebrews 10:24 to glean an understanding of how we might define maturity, and then take stock of how demonstrably experience it.

What on earth are you here for? What person are you to marry? What children are you to raise? What vocation are you to occupy? What mission are you to join? Whatever God may have in store for you, that calling will fall within the parameters that his word provides for all believers in Christ. This week, Pastor Greg Byman takes a look at Romans 8:28-30 to learn about God’s big ideas for your calling. This week we’ll consider how God necessarily is calling every Christ-follower according to God’s plan. Next, your calling necessarily requires that you increasingly become more like Jesus. Finally, your purpose necessarily will involve helping people. Pastor Greg Byman delivered “What on Earth Am I Here For?” on April 22, 2018 at St. Joe Community Church.

What is wisdom, and how to you get it? Over the past couple weeks, Pastor Greg Byman has focused on the fundamental historical facts of the Bible proving that Jesus was who he said he was – the one and only son of God who both saves us from an eternity of condemnation and separation from God, and then empowers us to live for God’s glory during our remaining days on this earth. The key to living for God’s glory instead of our own is found in wisdom. God’s wisdom, however, stands in stark contrast to our mortal wisdom, and today, Pastor Byman digs into the word of God in the book of Job, chapter 28, to explore how God wants us to tap his wisdom for our daily living. Pastor Greg Byman delivered “Get Wisdom” on April 15, 2018 at St. Joe Community Church.
