Apologetics with Dr. Stan FlemingPosted by sgrove on February 27th, 2009

If the Christian’s hope is in a dead Christ who was martyred because He threatened the existing religious establishment, then the Christian is in the same boat with the Muslim, the Buddhist and the followers of Confucius. Mohammed is dead. Buddha is dead. Confucius is dead. But the Bible affirms that Christ is alive; and because He lives, the Christian will live also, eternally.² Fritz Ridenour

Christianity is unique among the religions of the world. And the reason for its uniqueness lies in the historical figure who stands at its center – Jesus Christ.¹ Alister McGrath

Preaching TimePosted by sgrove on January 20th, 2009

It’s time to put the spiritual disciplines into gear.  This week’s lecture time will be spent listening to our Capital Interns as they have prepared brief sermons on text and topic of choice.  Prayer, study, fasting, silence and solitude are a few spiritual practices that have been employed.  I’m excited to hear what God has prepared in their hearts.  I’m ready to shout amen!  I’ll post some of their outlined notes at weeks end.

Fasting Silence & SolitudePosted by sgrove on January 10th, 2009

This month we are focusing our study on spiritual disciplines.  Class instructional times will be spent on spiritual disciplines such as fasting, silence, solitude, frugality, service, study, prayer, worship, fellowship, confession, etc.  It is our passion to go to a deeper level in our relationship with God.  This does not come about by osmosis.  Our spiritual maturity takes place when we intently engage the text, prayer, study, worship, etc on a daily basis. This last week we hit on the spiritual practices of fasting, silence and solitude with the aim of focusing less on self and more on God. For some interns, fasting food for three days is a first. Capital Interns…how’s it going? What have been some of your experiences?

Eschatology & Sexual Character…good stuff!Posted by sgrove on December 10th, 2008

Oh what a fun month!  Not only are we approaching the greatest holiday ever (Christmas) but we are involved in two interesting class subjects.  Our focus this month is on Eschatology & Sexual Character.  I’m not sure how these two topics landed in the same month but how fitting it is!  I often prayed a prayer like this as a young lad, “God, please don’t come back until I get married Amen.”  The word “married” was code word for sex. Be honest, you probably prayed the same prayer or still pray that prayer currently.

We began a “Sexual Character” series in our YP717 service and I felt it necessary to continue this topic throughout the month with our Capital Interns.  It is our responsibility and privilege to live sexually pure and walk in the freedom and fulfillment of God. Coupled with this teaching we are engaged in a challenging course on Eschatology by Dr. Stan Fleming entitled “Servants of the Third Watch”.

Prayer, Praise & ProphecyPosted by sgrove on November 11th, 2008

Beginning November 12th we will begin a new Capital INTERN study intensive.  The primary emphasis of this study is on pursuing God in the areas of prayer, praise, and prophecy. The importance of simply learning to pursue God is the topic of the introductory session, followed by sessions that focus more on aspects of prayer, praise (worship), and prophecy, either distinctly or in conjunction with the others.  We will post portions of lecture, so feel free to check back in from time to time.

“Acts” IntensivePosted by sgrove on October 16th, 2008
