The Gospel Tour – Birmingham, AL – Recap!

TullianGT1

The kickoff of the Gospel Tour at Samford University was awesome! Many people came to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ heralded. Both Tullian and Matt shared messages that not only inspired, but showed us that Jesus is the only one to bring about change. It was great to see so many people gather to hear a message of hope.

A special thanks goes out to Samford University and Beeson Divinity School for allowing us to bring a night of Gospel Truth into their midst! Also a shout out to David C. Cook for providing Matt’s new book To Live is Christ, To Die is Gain and Tullian’s new book One Way Love!

Thank you to all who attended The Gospel Tour in Birmingham. We hope you were blessed as much as we were!

Lee Strobel – Faith Under Fire: Miracles of the Bible

Learn the arguments — Defend your faith

Today we see science being pitted against Christianity as an opponent to the miraculous. Faith is being challenged with logic, leading people to rely more on their own mind than our Creator God. Join Lee Strobel, author of The Case for Christ, The Case for a Creator, and The Case for Faith among others, as he leads a debate of the hard questions of Christianity–and the scientific controversy surrounding them.

In Session 1, Lee Strobel mediates the debate between Edward Tabash, a skeptical Civil Liberties Attorney and Dr. J.P. Moreland, a Philosophy professor at Talbot Theological Seminary in California. Both sides state their views on whether evidence supports or undermines the legitimacy of the miracles in the Bible.

Faith Under Fire is the perfect study to open the door for conversation with the skeptical people in your life or Bible study group. These videos do not only serve as thought-provoking evidence for non-believers, but also a way for Christians to learn to defend their faith in concrete, logical ways.

You Can Lead A Horse To Water…

science.opposingviews.com…but you can’t make him drink.

Last Wednesday our family had the opportunity to drive out to a ranch in Texas to celebrate the 4th of July. If you know anything about Texas, people love their ranches. They are designed to bring out the little bit of John Wayne in all of us. Every time I go to a ranch, I ask the Lord if in my next life I can come back as a real cowboy. Then, if I go to the beach, I ask the Lord if I can come back as a surfer dude!

Before you go crazy, ‘my next life’ is just a form of expression 🙂 I know there is only heaven or hell after we leave earth and that is exactly why at The Hub we are so passionate about developing and distributing Bible resources that can draw any person to Christ, whether believer who is seeking to know Christ more intimately or disillusioned believer or not a believer yet.

On the way to the ranch we had a chance to stream a video by Mark Driscoll about who we are in Christ, with our entire family in the car. Parents, this is greatness, kids completely trapped and we had church in the car!

The goal of this blog is not to get you to go trap your family in a car and make them listen to a sermon, but it is for you to think creatively and be spontaneous about how to share and model truth to your family. Technology allows us the access to have the truth ready for delivery whenever you are ready for it! You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.ipodincar

Perhaps the thing I love most about technology is that when the proverbial ‘horse’ is ready to drink, there will be quality water waiting him or her.

We at The Hub wake up every day asking the Lord by His grace and power to help us be a key source of quality water whenever anyone in the world is ready to drink of Christ’s living water.

Thanks for listening…

Founder and President of The Hub

NEW: Timothy Keller’s The Prodigal God

Have you ever wondered about the parable of the Prodigal Son?

Why did the son want to leave? What were the implications of his request for his inheritance early? Why did Jesus mention the older brother? What was his role to play? How does this parable show the love of God for us?

Many times we find ourselves focused on the “prodigal son” and ignoring the other characters for life principles and guidance. But as Timothy Keller points out in this series, not all of us are “lost.” Some of us have fallen into a spiritual limbo, just “hanging around” to receive our heavenly reward. Others of us are painfully watching loved ones go down these paths, and are just waiting to welcome them home once more.

Timothy Keller opens up the parable by diving into the culture of a society we have only read about. He draws us into the lives of the family and society that broadens our perspective by introducing details never thought of, or never understood. Dissect the spiritual meanings hidden within Jesus’ words to reveal the multitude of ways this parable can impact us today. Find out how this parable spoken from the lips of our Savior can nourish your own relationship with the Father, and others.
