Jennifer Gerhardt writes, “We’ve all heard the Iraneas quote, ‘The glory of God is a person fully alive.’ And that’s what I thought of when Justin shared this dusty memory, pulled from some far corner of his mind.

“When Jesus and the New Testament writers wanted to illustrate a point or establish a truth, they would often turn to a story found within the pages of the Old Testament.” With that in mind, Clay Gentry turns our attention to Cain and Abel from a New Testament point-of-view.

March 2013 Bible Reading Calendar

March 2, 2013 — Leave a comment

Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Pet 3:18).

That’s our prayer and goal for 2013 at Laurel Canyon. To that end, our Bible reading plan for the year focuses on the Psalms, Proverbs, and the New Testament. Each Sunday we’ll read a psalm. Each weekday we’ll read a psalm (to focus our hearts on God), a chapter from the Gospels or the Book of Acts (to fix our eyes on Jesus), and a chapter from one of the New Testament epistles (to refresh ourselves on what it means to be a disciple of Christ).

“Man shall not live by bread alone” (Matt 4:4). Those were our Lord’s words. Let’s take them seriously and live on the word every day in 2013.

Click here for the March 2013 reading calendar, and be sure to come back at the beginning of April for the continued schedule.

What was the Baptism of the Holy Spirit?

January 3, 2013 — Leave a comment

The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

There are several “baptisms” mentioned in the Bible:

The baptism of Moses (1 Cor 10:1-2) — the historical crossing of the Red Sea.
The baptism of suffering (Mark 10:35-40) — overwhelming pain or persecution.
The baptism of John (Mark 1:4-5) — a means of preparing for the coming of the Christ.

But what about the baptism of the Holy Spirit? What role did it play in God’s plan for mankind?

Why Membership Matters

June 20, 2012 — Leave a comment

American Express made the slogan famous: “Membership has its privileges.”

But what about membership in a local church? Is it just a matter of tradition? Is it a Biblical idea? Does it really matter? If so, what does it look like?

Using the New Testament, this sermon explores membership from three angles.

April Bible Reading Calendar

March 30, 2012 — Leave a comment

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matt 4:4).

In an effort to grow in the word of the Lord, our aim at Laurel Canyon is to walk through the Bible in chronological order throughout 2012. Our monthly Reading Calendars (freely available as a PDF download) will sync the Old Testament, the New Testament, and even books like Psalms and Proverbs as they unfolded historically. The “big picture” of our tour through the Bible can be seen below. Our plan also provides 52 “catch up” days—one for each week of the year.

“Man shall not live by bread alone.” Those are our Lord’s words. Let’s take them seriously and live on the word every day in 2012.
