Week of August 2, 2026
This week we're exploring what Paul meant by "mystery" in Ephesians, why Christians keep making foolish arguments about minor subjects, and how to tell the difference between dogma, doctrine, and distinctives.

What to Do
A few practical things to do this week.
- Learn the Nicene Creed.
- Read one real theology book this quarter. Pastor Howie’s recommendations:
- The Reason for God by Timothy Keller
- Basic Christianity by John Stott
- Knowing God by J.I. Packer
- Delighting in the Trinity by Michael Reeves
- Do You Believe? by Paul David Tripp
- Plug into your church and seek real accountability, challenge, and correction from leadership. It’s how you grow.
