026-05 — The Body Is the Bride
Published by Jeff, on May 3rd, 2005 in 026 We Are His Body, Front Page.NWBC-026-05
To conclude this series of messages, I jumped into another profound biblical metaphor for the church —that we are the bride of Christ—to show how our diversity and our unity together make us more beautiful to Jesus.
Did you wonder why unity was so important in the church? It’s because our unity makes us more attractive to Jesus and to the world around us. Listen up!

This message was preached at Northwest Baptist Church in Chicago by my friend Andy Tucker. It’s a part of the larger series I’ve been doing on the body of Christ and it’s an excellent message, so I’m including it here too.
026-03 — Body Building Attitudes

There are four attitudes we can take to improve our relationships… Ok, really, there are four attitudes we have to take as part of the body of Christ. In this message I exploree the mystical reality of what it means to be part of the body of Christ and tie it into four practical commitments we all can make to be a better representation of Christ.
026-02 — The Spirit Makes Us One

One of the most profound truths about the Christian life is that we have the Spirit of God Himself dwelling within us! It’s hard to know exactly what that means, but in this message, I attempt to explain from 1 Corinthians 12:1-13 that the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives sets the stage for us to experience Christian Community the way it should be lived out!
- We can’t take credit for our faith.
- We can’t take credit for anything we’ve ever done.
- We can experience the real presence of the Holy Spirit if we give of ourselves to others.
Sound interesting?
026-01 — An Awesome Church
Published by Jeff, on April 6th, 2005 in 026 We Are His Body, Front Page.NWBC-026-01
To begin this series on what it means to be the body of Christ, Pastor Jeff examines a famous passage on Communion! How does the Lord’s Supper relate to the Christian Community? Listen up and be ready to realize how awesome the church of Jesus really is!
Greetings, interesting article. There are a few people who would disagree with you, for starters take Johm MacArthur. He recently opened up his 40 year vault of messages free to the public. He has 100s of messages devoted to the 5 points of Calvinism, which he strongly supports. He also has many messages on a pre-trib rapture, which he also supports. Boice, Barnhouse, Lutzer, etc. are just a few of the well known preachers who are 5 point and pre-trib. S. Lewis Johnson, considered by some the greatest exposito of the 20th century, was also Calvinistic and believed in the rapture. So, there are a few men who have studied the scriptures far more than you and I who came to a different conclusion.
