Sonship Course Lesson
Even as a believer I found that pushing gospel grace down into my heart was more than an intellectual exercise. Though I had been through every imaginable discipleship program, I needed someone to talk straight about my life and to help me see my present need for the gospel grace of Christ today. Sonship is designed to help you take glorious theological truths of the gospel - truths that you may know in your head - and apply them to your heart and the nitty gritty reality of daily life. Live the theology you believe!
Delivered as part of the Mentored Sonship Program at Serge
Teaching on Church Leadership
In the last years I have seen pastors I admired lose their congregations because they could not translate grace into practical leadership. The many modern models around encourage us to lead very differently than we have been led by Christ as believers. These talks take a look at who we are called to be - gracious Servant Leaders.

Teaching on Healthy Church Growth
In these two talks I look at 1 Thessalonians as Paul approaches church growth from love and faith. He unveils a portrait of personal and community progress that is genuine and organic; naturally rooted in Gospel principles that are in many ways counter-cultural and counter-intuitive, but enormously attractive and welcoming.

Teaching on Ecclesiastes
The writer of Ecclesiastes takes a clear eyed look at our work, relationships, good times, and even at religion - and then comes away with a renewed trust in the person and work of the Creator that doesn't deny the difficult realities of everyday life.
