Opiod Overview
Feb 20 ⋅ by Woody Chipman
As believers, we often dream of doing great things for God’s kingdom here on earth. We want to be part of something much bigger than ourselves. And many times, this dream causes us to look to some future time or large ministry as the solution. However, Jesus often spoke of looking to the needs of our neighbors and those most vulnerable as some of the highest callings for his disciples.
One of Jesus’ most loved parables, the Good Samaritan, is especially meaningful to believers in Philadelphia. While we may dream of grand plans for serving in God’s kingdom, we have a golden opportunity right now to help our neighbors, friends, and family who suffer on the streets next to us. Medical Campus Outreach and Renewal Presbyterian Church invite you to join us for a panel discussion about Christian perspectives on the current opioid crisis. Our panel includes speakers from national, state, and local levels who will provide information on both public policy and m...
A Vision
Feb 5 ⋅ by Liam Goligher
For the last two decades, downtown Philadelphia has experienced a renaissance. Individuals from numerous ethnicities are putting down roots near the church by seeking advanced degrees, establishing careers, and in some cases starting families. Real estate prices, high ranking public elementaries, and new skyscrapers serve as constant reminders of change.
With all of this said...
True Paideia For Your Soul
Feb 5 ⋅ by Gavin Lymberopoulos
We live in a culture obsessed with productivity books. If you want to use time or money more wisely, there are endless resources available. None of this is a surprise. We all feel the demand on our resources, and we want to be more disciplined in how we approach life. There is great wisdom to be found in these books, but they only discipline our actions or at best our thoughts. When we receive ...
The Importance of College Fellowship
Jan 23 ⋅ by Jared Cochrum
One of my favorite parts of working in college ministry for Tenth is that there is no gap between Tenth College Fellowship (TCF) and the church where students are able to encounter and worship the living God. This kind of proximity between campus and worship is essential to the discipleship and growth of the students who are a part of our congregation and who are becoming true worshipers of the...
The Importance of Internationals Worship
Jan 23 ⋅ by Enrique Leal
The universal church is a clear demonstration of God‘s sovereign power. Think about this for a moment. People from all nations gather together on the Lord’s Day with the same purpose, to worship God. Though we have various expressions of worship around the world, the Holy Spirit has the sovereign power to keep us together in one mind, which is to give glory and honor to the gi...
On Nature and Nature’s God
Jan 7 ⋅ by Onsi A. Kamel
The twentieth century was unkind to classical Reformed theology. While theological conservatives often blame liberals for undermining traditional Protestant doctrines, the staunchest conservatives and the neo-Orthodox also revised several key doctrines. One such was the doctrine of natural revelation. In his otherwise thunderous “Nein!” to Emil Brunner’s defense of natural the...

Venite Adoremus
Dec 22, 2019 ⋅ by Colin Howland
How does Christmas motivate you? How does it shape your calendar during the final weeks of the year? Is it a time filled with activity, or a time for you to stay out of the fray? Each year when Christmas is on the horizon, we anticipate the emotions which come with the season. We see Christmas in our future, and what we foresee Christmas being like determines much of what we do.
A Time for Giving Thanks
Nov 26, 2019 ⋅ by James Boice
Our lives are filled with many responsibilities. Our days are usually taken up with useful activities. Much of our time is spent working. We have five days a week for that, and for many of us the other days are filled with work too. Sometimes our days are taken up with fighting—not physically for most of us, but for causes or sometimes even against colleagues who want to cut corners or do...
