Pastors Mike Dahl and Todd Miles sit down weekly to talk about how we go through life together as a body of believers. Topics will include foundational truths of the church, Christian living and how the church functions together, voices from members of GBC, and news of what is going on in the life of Gresham Bible Church.
With the coming of the advent season, Pastors Mike and Todd spend some time talking about favorite Christmas traditions and the importance of the incarnation to our theology and also how it impacts us as we live our lives.Books Mentioned:"Jotham's Journey" by Arnold Ytreeide"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" by Barbara Robinson"The Virgin Birth of Christ" by J. Gresham Machen
Pastors Mike and Todd continue our podcast series on the distinctives of GBC. These are further conversations on the sermon series we did this past summer (https://www.greshambible.org/sermons/series/gbc-distinctives). This is our second distinctive which reads:We are a church that prays because we depend on God. Prayer is our shameless admission that we can do nothing without Him. Therefore, prayer is not merely a transition point in our lives and activities, nor is it the cherry on top; prayer is the beginning, middle, and end of our work. If we desire for God to work in ways that cannot be merely attributed to our efforts, then we must be a people on our knees (Ephesians 6:18, James 5:13, 1 John 5:14).Books mentioned:"Praying the Bible" by Donald Whitney"A Praying Church" by Paul Miller"Praying with Paul" by D.A. Caron"Prayer" by Tim Keller"The Valley of Vision" by Arthur Bennett
Pastors Mike and Todd begin a new podcast series on the distinctives of GBC. These are further conversations on the sermon series we did this past summer (https://www.greshambible.org/sermons/series/gbc-distinctives). This is our first distinctive which reads:We are committed to expository preaching because we deeply believe that what the Bible says about itself is true (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12). We believe that God's Word is the foundational way through which God works in the world (Isaiah 55:11). Therefore, Scripture is central in all of our ministries because it is our authority, our light, and brings life to all who receive it. Books mentioned:"Systematic Theology" by Wayne Grudem"The Doctrine of the Word of God" by John Frame"The Question of the Canon" by Michael Kruger"Canon Revisited" by Michael Kruger"How to Read the Bible For All Its Worth" by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stewart"Invitation to Biblical Interpretation" by Andreas Kostenberger"Expositional Preaching" by David Helm
