How do you know that you are called? The answer is knowing what work the Lord has called you to. Craig and Troy talk through three important aspects of "calling."
Professor and author John Pless extends his time with Craig and Troy as we go deeper with this notion of "vocation." What does God call us to in society? What does God call us to in our families? If I'm to serve my neighbor, how do I know who that is? Once again, John helps to keep the us practically centered on Jesus Christ.
Professor and author John Pless joins Craig and Troy to discuss what God calls us to do in our everyday, ordinary lives. The theological name for this is "the doctrine of vocation," but John helps us to see how this is a practical and grace-centered teaching.
Who is a true child of God? Who is a true child of the promise? Paul gives a surprising allegory that helps us understand just how easily we fall into the trap of selling ourselves back into spiritual slavery.
Big, fancy words and big, fancy ideas are thrown around, but what Craig and Troy try to simply say is that the Word of God turns us to Christ and not to ourselves. Where God's Word neither commands nor condemns, our lives and choices are free in the Gospel.
Pastor Bob Hiller gives Craig and Troy a view of the book of James that leans completely on Jesus Christ for salvation but also teaches us to repent when our Christian lives don’t measure up.

“What must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus answers that question with a parable.
We have our own question: “Who am I in this parable?” But a better question is “Who is Jesus for me in the parable?”
Paul wraps up his “missionary support letter” by seeking support for the church around the known world in both spiritual and physical ways. A lot of names are mentioned--some we know, some we don’t--but God has used them all.
If you admit that you’re the weaker brother, does that make you the stronger brother because the stronger brother refused to admit he’s the weaker brother? . . . or something like that.
Orgies and drunkenness and licentiousness, oh my! Sometimes Christians get hung up on the really “big” sins, but Paul lists quarreling and jealousy right there with them. What’s the connection? Craig and Troy discuss how love does no wrong to a neighbor, for love is the fulfillment of the law.
