What did Paul say? Or did Peter say that? Did Jesus? Does it matter?

This week we're looking at three things Paul said, and questioning whether Jesus said it too--and, ultimately, if it matters. And also taking a quick look at part of the character of Paul to see if we should question his motives.

Kicking off a 3-part sub-series: Did God Really Say? (He usually did.) Today we answer the question: where does the Bible say to "invite Jesus into your heart and be saved"? That phrase isn't, but we can search through a number of other Scriptures to try to find the concept.

People like to remind religious folk that Jesus ate with sinners--but what do you think those dinners were like? What might have been some topics of discussion? Well, this week we take a look at five of the dinners recorded in the Gospels, who attended, and what reaction they had to sitting with Jesus and breaking bread.

What do we do when we realize we believe in a heresy? When someone else believes in one? When our pastor preaches one? There's no one-size-fits-all, but we'll take a look at a few key scriptures to help guide us.

How might Christians view tradition? The Pharisees were somewhat notorious traditionalists, and perhaps why the church tries to be so relevant today. But can we also shun tradition at our own peril--or, at least, a diminished experience in the body of Christ? Tune in to hear Scripture for and against Church tradition.

Is "Christian Supernatural" an oxymoronic genre? If you hear a book in that genre, do you think "how could a supernatural story be Christian, or vice versa?" This is the episode for you, potentially. Listen in for the briefest of dives into six Scriptures that remind us we're in a supernatural story whether we see it or not.

Today we look at a few key passages of Scripture as we consider how much value things on earth have. Is it worth fighting for? Getting into arguments over? Judging others for? Removing from our lives just for the sake of removing it? Or, by denying ourselves things, are we only writing a new law that God never gave us? Just three passages today, to maybe help us answer these questions.

When we're told to "bear much fruit" because it is "to God's glory" it is important to know what kind of fruit we should be bearing. Today we look at what we can expect, what we should expect, and what we should pray for and intentionally bear--no gardener simply throws out random seeds. Neither should we only haphazardly cultivate crops within our character and our souls.

Fate...freewill...someone should write a fantasy book exploring this idea...

What is predestination? Are we able to choose salvation, or has God already determined it beforehand? We start with each verse that uses the word to see some context, and then go all over the Bible to see where else it might pop up--or might not.
