In this lesson I discuss the beginning of the story (creation), which is crucial if you want to understand the "end". Lesson 2 will be on "The End?" and Lesson 3 will deal with the concept of judgment. I'm guessin that the perspective I'm presenting will …

In this session, McLaren does a general Q & A. He covers subjects like the atonement, inclusion/exclusion, diversity in the emerging church, and more. Really interesting stuff. Later…

This is the 3rd Lesson in the "Are We Supposed To Do That?" series. This week I dealt with Confronting a brother or sister in Christ who are embracing sin. I was having a little technical problem with the equipment that messed up the audio a bit in places. I edited it some, but it's still kind of irritating. I think I have fixed the problem though,…
