In his third epistle, John uses the testimony of a man named Gaius to help us see what a person whose life has been changed by the gospel looks like. Those changed by the gospel are bound together with other Christians, walk faithfully in the truth they have believed, love others in word and deed, and support gospel proclamation.

How do we know the resurrection of Jesus Christ really happened? On what basis do you believe that it happened? In John 20, we see Thomas, one of Jesus' twelve disciples, refuse to believe that Jesus had risen. He demanded his own evidence, rather than accepting the testimony given. God wants to be believed, and he has given all the evidence we need.

In his second epistle, John exhorts Christians to be vigilant in watching out for false teachers. The church should be marked by discernment: "For many deceivers have gone out into the world." However, a church will not survive the onslaught of spiritual warfare through false teachers if she neglects the truth of God's Word, fails to love the saints, and disobeys the commands of the Lord.

Christians face the continual temptation to trust in ourselves, other people, or institutions, rather than God. Psalm 146 helps reorient us so we see that only God is worthy of our trust.

Second John, though the shortest of all the New Testament books, reminds Christians of the three inseparable elements found at the core of Biblical Christianity: a committment to the truth, love for other Christians, and obedience to God's commands.

In this session, Pastor Jess Miller wraps up the first section of our confession of faith, which explains what we believe about the Bible. Subjects covered in this lecture: the internal witness of the Holy Spirit as the chief evidence of the Bible being the Word of God and the Doctrine of Inspiration.

In Philemon, we see how the gospel changes relationships, especially when we have been wronged by someone else.

We are all weary people who need help. Isaiah 50 is written to weary people, and the help we find in this chapter comes from the Servant of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

What are relationships in the church supposed to look like? Relationships in the church are to be shaped by the gospel. Paul and Philemon demonstrate two critical components of gospel relationships: we pray for one another, and we refresh one another.

Why do we have the books of the Bible we do, and how can we trust we have the right ones? These questions and more are addressed by Pastor Jess Miller as he teaches through what we teach at CBC.

In this sermon, Pastor Jess Miller introduces us to the book of Philemon. This little book is important because it has much to teach us about Christian relationships and the change the gospel brings to a life. It shows us who God is and live as followers of Jesus Christ.

In this session, Pastor Jess Miller teaches on the importance of God's general and special revelation.

The Shema teaches us who our God is, and who God is demands a response—love. There is no greater command than the command to love God with all our heart, soul, and might. All other obedience and worship flow from our love for God. In the final message in this series, Pastor Jess Miller unpacks what it means for us to love God and then points us to Jesus, the only man who perfectly loved God from his heart.
