Who are you, and how do you change that?

Jerell dives back into this week's sermon on the practice of formation.  So much of who we are comes down to identity and purpose, which is formed by what we repeatedly do. Take a listen as we unpack some of this week's sermon. 

Where did UFC start?

Well, to answer that question we have to go back to the beginning. Not the beginning of time, rather what laid the groundwork that ultimately led to the church plant that is UFC. Stick around and get to know Brett's history. 

What's the difference between the children's version of Jonah and the standard biblical account?

Jerell shares his reflections on the story of Jonah. We explore the characters, attitudes, and motifs of this often overlooked biblical account. Finally, we conclude with identifying how Jonah's story can be seen reflected in our own lives. 

How do Christians help?

Should Christians help?

Jerell unpacks this week's sermon from our Practices of Discipleship series. Compassion is a, somewhat, polarizing topic amidst the Christian community. Yet, we see a clear call for Christians to be compassionate, and we see Jesus having compassion. So what do we do with it? Listen in as we discuss. 

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

So what is being blessed? How about poor in spirit? And what is this is kingdom of heaven stuff? Jesus' sermon on the mount often has people confused or it's quoted without much thought given to it's meaning. Sean begins this, one verse at a time, explaining the "Blessed" statements. 

I bet you thought we were done!

Craig continues our journey through Acts. We consider what difference all this makes to our lives as well as other things. Join us as we conclude our fascinating examination of how Acts is structured. 

Have you ever considered the chronology of the Bible?

Craig takes us on a journey exploring the structure of the book of Acts and we consider what that means when we're interpreting Scripture. I bet you never thought so much excitement could be generated around sequences of biblical events!

Isn't community just for the socialites and extroverts?

One of the privileges and blessings we receive as Christians is a family of believers. Community is more than your next-door neighbors, and it's more than socializing. Jerell unpacks what it means to engage in the church body and why you need it, and why you're needed by others in it. 

The Sermon on the Mount is one of the most jam packed sections of Scripture. So much so that Sean decided to go through it verse by verse. This rich section of the Bible offers incredible insight into how we approach God, who we are as Christians, what are the blessings God freely gives, and much more. 

This episode covers the opening line of the Scripture. If you thought an episode couldn't be made out of one line, consider it a challenge accepted. You'll be surprised by how much God is speaking in a single line of Scripture. 

Why is it so hard to study the Bible?

Jamie brings us some practical tools and resources to help us study God's Word effectively and faithfully. As disciples of Christ we need to be in the Bible daily and the tools discussed here provide an easy onramp as well as some community around this discipline.
