In this final episode of the Kingdom Gospel Beyond Sunday series, the conversation centers on Jesus’ resurrection, not as a once-a-year Easter concept, but as a present reality that shapes everyday discipleship. The hosts explore the historical grounding of Jesus’ death, the faith dimension of the resurrection, and what it means to live with “the same power that raised Christ” at work in us. From forgiveness and resisting temptation to daily prayer and time with Jesus, this episode calls believers to recognize, rely on, and testify to resurrection power in ordinary life.

Jesus died for all. Most Christians believe that. Few slow down to ask what it really means. In this episode of Beyond Sunday, Pastor Jeff and Pastor Zack unpack why Jesus had to die, how His sacrifice fulfills and replaces the old covenant, and why everything in the Kingdom hinges on His death and resurrection. More than forgiveness, His death transforms us, reshapes how we see people, and removes every excuse for prejudice, pride, and indifference. If Jesus died for everyone, it changes how we treat everyone.

In this episode of Beyond Sunday, Pastor Jeff and Pastor Zack continue the Kingdom Gospel series by unpacking what it really means to say “Jesus is the Christ.” They walk through the meaning of Christ and Messiah, the evidence for Jesus as the promised King (Scripture, prophecy, eyewitness testimony, and history), and why the resurrection and the disciples’ transformation matter. Then they bring it home with the real implications, if Jesus is King, discipleship is obedience, lives change from the inside out, and the mission of God cannot stop with us.

In this episode of Beyond Sunday, Pastors Jeff and Zach unpack what Jesus meant when He said “the kingdom of God is at hand.” They talk through the “now, but not yet” reality of the kingdom, why many Christians treat Jesus like He will be King someday instead of King today, and why real discipleship can’t be separated from obedience. The goal isn’t rule-following or coerced behavior, it’s developing a heart of honor that actually submits to the King and reflects His kingdom values in everyday life.

In this Beyond Sunday episode, Jeff and Zach kick off the new year with a candid conversation about spiritual growth, staying faithful to your calling, and what it really takes to finish well, especially in ministry leadership. They talk mentors (or the lack of them), books that shaped their lives, why spiritual formation matters more than hype, and how to approach Bible reading in a way that’s sustainable, personal, and life-giving.

Pastor Jeff and Pastor Zach walk through the Christmas story with an open Bible and clear eyes. They sort out tradition from text, from the inn vs the upper room, to the manger inside a home, to how many wise men there really were and when they arrived. They talk St. Nicholas the pastor in Turkey, why angels are not said to sing, what apocryphal books like the Protoevangelium of James added later, and why the exact date does not change the gospel. Listener note, there is candid talk about Santa and other traditions, so use discretion with young kids.

Christmas is beautiful, but it is easy to let pop culture and busy calendars crowd out the heart of the season. In this episode we talk about keeping Jesus at the center, the pull of nostalgia, generosity that reflects the gift of Christ, and practicing peace and reconciliation. We share family traditions that keep the focus on the Nativity, a striking story from Egypt’s cave church, and simple ways to bring hope to others this December.

Pastor Jeff and Pastor Zach talk plainly about the church in the last days. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3 to 4 and Ephesians 4, they call us to sound doctrine, holiness, and Spirit-led ministry, with a steady life in Scripture and prayer. Hear a practical vision for a church that resists cultural drift, equips believers for every good work, and stays focused on the Gospel.

Many believers feel anxious about the rapture, but Scripture points us toward anticipation, not dread. In this conversation we walk through Matthew 24, Titus 2, and key passages in Daniel and Revelation, discuss pre-trib timing versus enduring tribulation, and outline a simple timeline, rapture, great tribulation and wrath of God, return of Christ, millennial reign, final judgment, and new heavens and new earth. We end with a clear call to live on mission while we wait.

Pastors Jeff and Zach unpack the rapture, what the Bible says, what it doesn’t, and why it matters. From 1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 15 to the meaning of “harpazo” (caught up), they tackle common questions about resurrection, cremation, and our future transformation. They also tee up next week’s convo on “signs and seasons” without getting lost in speculation.
