This audio is an ABF lesson taught by Robbie Sagers on Stress/Anxiousness on January 31, 2010. You can download here.
This past week in Kingdom First, Robbie Sagers continued our study DirectionPoint by discussing the Christian response to stress. As Robbie taught, stress has everything to do about life and godliness. It’s not simply about the seemingly unconquerable and numerous tasks needing to be accomplished each day, but about how we as believers in Jesus respond to such stress. When we face times of distress, we need to frequently ask ourselves what were driven to, and more appropriately, who we’re being driven to.

This audio is an ABF lesson taught by Dr. Russell Moore on Courtship on January 24, 2010. You can download here.
Taking a brief interval from our next scheduled study through Zephaniah, Pastor Moore began a four-week series titled “DirectionPoint.” Over the next four weeks, Pastor Moore will be teaching on relevant relationship topics for people of all ages, among them: Courtship, Marriage, Parenting. This past Sunday, Pastor Moore started off the series by discussing courtship. In his teaching, Pastor Moore emphasized how today’s “dating culture” is unlike any other relationship atmosphere the world has previously known. Due to the present culture’s fascination with with romanticism and infatuation, individuals are now taught to gauge a potential marriage partner according to compatibility, attractiveness, and “mystical rightness.” However, as Pastor Moore demonstrated, Scripture does not speak to the above issues nor does Scripture unveil a 39-Point Checklist like we see on e-Harmony. Rather, Pastor Moore spoke to the marriage culture of the Bible and how the Bible pictures marriage along the lines of fidelity. Fidelity, a life-long covenant relationship, is that which produces love through a lifetime of disagreement, sacrifice, agreement, complementarity, frustration, and trial. Additionally, as Scripture so eloquently speaks to, it is the faithfulness that Christ demonstrates to his Church that provides the perfect model for how each of us is to pursue and conduct our marital relationship.
This series is promised to be wonderful, so please pass-on the recordings to your friends and family.

As of this week’s lesson, Kingdom First has now faithfully studied three books of the Bible in-depth, verse-by-verse. We began with 1 Corinthians, Joshua, and now, with the completion of 1 Peter, Kingdom First awaits as we learn which book of the Bible we’ll be headed to next. Rumor has it that we’ll be in Zephaniah in the near future.

This Sunday at Kingdom First, Dr. Moore conducted the ever-popular “Open Forum” where members and visitors to Kingdom First can ask any question imaginable to Dr. Moore. While the nature of this forum prevents us from providing explicit answers to each question, rest assured that every member of the class walks away with greater understanding of wisdom, that is, Jesus Christ.

This week in Kingdom First, guest teacher Wayne Tyler taught through Psalm 46. As a new year has come, people are thinking through the previous year and looking ahead to the one just come. As such, Wayne exhorted the men and women of Kingdom First to be especially diligent to make God our refuge. While it may be easy to fall into the trap of finding our identity in our vocation, identity, or any number of other things, the Scripture time and again drives the believer to find his refuge in God—it is He who is with us, who has come to be our refuge, and who has come in the person of Christ to die on the cross on our behalf to save us from sin. As we move throughout this year, and all the rest the Lord may give us, may we find our rest and strength in God.
