Christians At UMMC

Sometimes the stories in the Bible are uplifting and encouraging.  Sometimes the stories in the Bible are serious and a warning to us.  While many are familiar with the story of Abraham and Ishmael, many don't realize that this story is not just a historical story, but a warning to us.  Join me and Dr. Paul Redmond as we break this story apart to see God's strong warning toward us.  Music by the Cooley's

Why are do our morning times with God feel so impersonal sometimes?  What can we learn from Abraham's relationship with God and how does that help us in our time with the Lord in the morning?  Check out the podcast as we dive into Genesis 18 to learn how to linger with God so that He can open His heart to us.  Music by Grace Nolasco.  P.S. Please excuse the background chatter.  Recording a pod in a house full of kids is always an adventure!

In Genesis 12, we see that God's appearing to Abraham caused him to leave his father's house.  Not only so, wherever Abraham went, he built an altar and also pitched his tent.  Believe it or not, God is looking for us to also live a life of the altar and the tent.  Join us as we open up these verses and see what it means to live this life and how it applies to us today!  Special guest Christian Yu.  Music by the Cooley's.

Before Abraham was called by God, he was not the father of faith.  He was full of doubts and failures.  How did Abraham go from someone who lied about his wife, not once, but twice, to someone who was willing to give up his promised son to God?  How does that apply to us today?  Thanks to Matt Howard M4 for joining the podcast!  Music by Arose.

Prior to the flood, the world was full of violence.  God called Noah to cooperate with Him, and together they ended that time and ushered in a new age.  However, at the tower of Babel, God personally came down to judge that situation.  What was so wrong that God Himself had to come and judge the people at that time?  Join us as we open this passage up to see the seriousness of Babel as well as our need to come back to God's presence.  Special guest Johnathan Marks, M3.  Music by Shiloh River.

Noah's Ark was a monumental event.  It was the main work that God was doing at that time.  What about today?  What is God's main work today, what is His Ark in our time?  Would you believe that God actually hinted at it in Genesis 2 and Paul picked it up in Ephesians 5?  May God open our eyes as we consider that God's Ark is today.  Verse references: Genesis 2:18-24, Ephesians 5:25-32, Hebrews 12:2, Matthew 16:18. Music by New York City Young People.

In the time of Noah, the world situation was not good at all.  Man was essentially living as if there is no God.  However, in that dark situation, Noah was not only able to survive that environment, but even overcome the environment!  How did Noah do that?  What does it mean to find Grace?  Join us as we dig deeper into the story of Noah finding Grace.
