New Testament Themes E4 — In the Apostle Paul's mind, the good news about Jesus becomes most persuasive when his followers live with incredible generosity. And that’s because radical generosity permeates the New Testament, most powerfully revealed in Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. In this fourth message in a six-part series, Tim teaches from 2 Corinthians 8 on how financial generosity demonstrates the claim that Jesus really is the risen Lord of the world. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Ore., on November 11, 2012.

New Testament Themes E3 — In the New Testament, “witness” is what Jesus' followers do together as they live, committed to one another and to Jesus. How is this understanding of witness different from how it’s viewed in modern Christianity? And how can we protect this kind of communal witness? In this third message in a six-part series, Tim traces the theme of witness in the book of Acts, concluding in Paul’s farewell speech in chapter 20. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Ore., on October 28, 2012.
