Exit Church Teachings

He is risen! Forrest Brown walks us through a biblical theology of the resurrection and what it means for the believer.

Join us as we sing and read the biblical account of the crucifixion. 

How do we wait well? Griffin Harris walks us through the lives of Simeon and Anna, who show us how to wait well, even our entire lives, to see the Lord's hand at work. 

In our culture, we highly celebrate those that move from a low class in society to a high class. And yet, when we look at the birth story in Luke chapter 2, we see a massive army of angels singing and celebrating a perfect God who--although he was at the top of the universe--set aside his rights and became a vulnerable human baby born in a dirty feeding trough--one of the lowest stations in life. And Scripture tells us that this is ultimately the most glorious thing, worthy of all praise.

What does suffering produce in you? Where do you go when life's circumstances (and perhaps even God himself) press on you? In this passage Forrest Brown highlights how Zechariah's  suffering/punishment led him to glorify God, even going as far as delighting in God himself more than God answering Zechariah's prayers. In our own suffering, can we let it produce in us this kind of focus/desire for the Lord?

Forrest Brown preaches on Mary's visit to Elizabeth and how the Spirit moves in both of them, as well as through John the Baptist, still in Mary's womb. From this passage, we also get The Magnificat, Mary's song in response to God's goodness. As with Mary, God often calls us to step out in faith, even when we don't have the full picture and we don't know how the end will turn out. We may even face significant backlash. Yet, Mary and Elizabeth show us how to faithfully respond to God's promptings.

Forrest Brown compares the prophecies that the angel Gabriel gave to Zachariah and Mary. Through the Scripture, we can know that God hears our prayers and that his word is always trustworthy. Last, we are challenged to respond with faith, not doubt.

Luke was a gentile outsider that was convinced that Jesus was the Messiah, the savior of the world. In his gospel account, Luke aims to provide a detailed account of Jesus' life, death and resurrection and to show them as credible. His purpose is "that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught" (Luke 1:4).

In our world today, there is an overabundance of content; books, songs, movies, news, television shows, tweets, blogs, podcasts, you name it. As Christians who aim to love God with all of our minds, how do we sift through this content to discern what is good from what is not? Tune in as we discuss this topic and grow in the skill of discernment.

Tyler Shirley finishes out the book of Hosea, preaching on chapter 14, which details HOW to be restored to the Lord and WHAT restoration ultimately looks like. 

Forrest Brown preaches on Israel's trust in their diplomacy for safety, their hope in money for their comfort, and their worship of other gods. What are the areas of life that we struggle to trust the Lord with?

Tim Carpenter preaches about God's call to come home to him--to repent of our running from him and listen to his voice calling. He preached from his own home due to a snow storm.

What purpose does God's wrath have in the life of a Christian? Why does God get angry? Why is God's wrath good news? In this message, Forrest Brown answers these questions, showing us how a biblical view of God's justice/wrath leads us to a whole view of God, and it even shows the depth of his love.
