Number 1: A New Vision (Remastered)
Resurrection as a Way of Life E1 — The topics of resurrection and new creation in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles are crucial for how followers of Jesus view the world, the future, and themselves. In this first episode of a five-part series, Tim teaches from Luke 24 on the story of Jesus offering a new vision of the messiah to two disillusioned disciples on the road to Emmaus. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Ore., on July 3, 2016. OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT View this episode’s official transcript. REFERENCED RESOURCES Tim references Warner Sallman’s popular painting Head of Christ. In contrast to the above painting, Tim references the 3D model produced by Richard Neave and other forensics experts that depicts what an average Galilean man from the first century would have looked like. The model was produced for the BBC documentary series Son of God. The model and image are most commonly referred to as “The Forensic Face of Jesus” or “Popular Mechanics Jesus” due to its feature on the cover of Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Number 3: Groaning and Liberation (Remastered)
Resurrection as a Way of Life E3 — In this third teaching of a five-part series, Tim dives into one of the most exhilarating and beautiful chapters in all of the Apostle Paul’s writings.

Number 4: A Life of Learning (Remastered)
Why Church Matters E1 — When people think of Christians, openness to new ideas is not usually the first thing that comes to mind. That's because we've lost a key part of the mindset of a “disciple,” a word that actually means “learner.” In this first episode of a two-part series, Tim explores the earliest depiction of the Church in Acts 2, where a group of people commit to each other and to Jesus so they can learn new ideas and form new habits of living and thinking together, all centered around Jesus. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Ore., on January 4, 2014. OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT View this episode’s official transcript.

Number 5: Sharing Grace (Remastered)
Why Church Matters E2 — Why is sharing our stuff so hard? And how does church play a critical role in helping us form this habit? In this second episode of a two-part series, Tim explores the portrait of the first church community in Acts 2, who committed to sharing their resources with each other. This demonstrates a core habit of the Church from the beginning: crossing over boundary lines to freely release our time and resources to other people. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Ore., on January 11, 2014. OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT View this episode’s official transcript.
