In order to examine the “spirit of Christmas” we must turn to God’s word and in doing so, we must...

In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis examines Mary’s song of praise in the first chapter of Luke’s Gospel. In her song, Mary articulates the proper response that everyone should have to the incarnation of Jesus Christ.

In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis continues his study on the subject of Biblical Wisdom and looks to the book of James. In James 3, the Scripture delineates the wisdom of this world from the wisdom that is “from above.” In doing so, James reveals that the tangible fruit of true wisdom is “good deeds.” Wisdom is not so much what we know as it is the translation of applying what we know to how we live.

So much of the Christian life boils down to making wise choices. But how do we live a life of wisdom?
In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis walks through the Biblical starting point of wisdom. Namely, the fear of the Lord.
Although the fear of the Lord is a pervasive topic throughout God’s Word, it is insufficiently addressed today and as a consequence, there is a deficiency of wisdom in the Church today.
Do you want to be wise? You must grow in the fear of the Lord.
