New Testament Themes E2 — Many who are intrigued by Jesus of Nazareth have a difficult time balancing his overwhelming generosity and grace with his challenging call to discipleship and making serious sacrifices.

New Testament Themes E1 — When we open the New Testament and start reading about Jesus, his message, and his mission, it’s not what most people imagine when they think of Christianity. Early on, we find the phrase “Kingdom of God” or “Kingdom of Heaven.” But what does this phrase mean? Why is it important to Jesus? And what bigger storyline is it a part of? This first message in a six-part series gives an introduction to Jesus and his mission, as it’s offered in the Gospel of Mark. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Ore., on September 23, 2012.

Theology of Work E2 — Many Christians believe the world will ultimately be destroyed when Jesus returns, and so our day-to-day lives don't really matter. But the Apostle Paul teaches the opposite in 1 Corinthians 15 and Colossians 3. The eternal, redeemed nature of the new creation makes our work more meaningful than we can imagine. In the second half of a two-part teaching, Tim explores how our hope about the ultimate outcome of history significantly impacts the way we think about our jobs and career goals. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Ore., on March 3, 2013.
