Why So Many Bibles?

Have you ever noticed how many different version of the Christian Bible there are? Why? What are all of these different versions for? Can they all be useful? Is there one “blessed” version? This week we walk through some of the reasons for different versions, and why there may be more use in the differences than you think.   Join us to discuss this important topic.

What is a Disciple?

“Go and make disciples of all nations”, Jesus tells us that this is job 1. But that begs the question, “What is a disciple?” Discipleship is such an important part of the Christian faith. Yet, even very successful churches are failing to build a solid base of discipleship. Maybe it is because they don’t start here. What does it mean to be a disciple?

What is worship? Is it just the song or music portion of our church services? Is it just the Church service? There are a ton of ways we use the term worship and it seems we have pigeon holed the term to mean far less than it does. We, as Christians, worship in many different ways. This wee Rick and I talk this out. Hope you will join us.

If Jesus came today for the first time, would we recognize him? There are many ways of looking at this idea. Rick and I do a little thought experiment looking at what it might look like if the first coming of Jesus were to happen today. Where would he come to? Is He here today? Join us as we walk this out.

Christian Superstition?

Are there things that Christians believe or put faith in that are more like a good luck charm or magic? Is the belief in a religion at all a superstition? There a so many things that Christians put faith in that are not Jesus. We sure hope you can join us as we talk this out.

Get what you give?

In the Christian religion is there any expectation of getting back what you put into it? Would that be karma, or something different? Justice is an expectation but what does that look like in a Christian frame. We sure hope you can join us as we talk this out.
