August 03, 2018 James Bryan Smith on Spiritual Formation and the Kingdom - KR 100
We all have ideas that we tell ourselves about God and how he works in our lives. Some are true--but many are false. James Bryan Smith and Scot talk about how these thoughts determine not only who we are, but how we live.
The path to spiritual transformation begins with the right thoughts about God. Turning to the Gospels, Smith invites you to put your ideas to the test to see if they match up with what Jesus himself reveals about God.

July 20, 2018 Class is in Session: Education in the First Century (Rebroadcast) - KR 99
How did people learn in the 1st Century? What kind of school would Jesus have attended?
Dr. McKnight tackles these questions and more in a discussion about education in the 1st Century. The way education was carried out in the 1st Century has a lot to say about how Jesus did discipleship. Understanding discipleship is more than transferring information; it’s rooted in a personal relationship that brings transformation.

July 12, 2018 1 & 2 Thessalonians in the Story of God (Conversation with John Byron) - KR 98
Hope is essential to the Christian life.
Like the Thessalonians, we’re sometimes tempted to lose hope and give up. It’s in such situations that these ancient letters find new life. Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians are often overlooked, but they’re as important as any of his letters – and they’re essential for the church today.

July 05, 2018 1,2, & 3 John in the Story of God (Conversation with Con Campbell) - KR 97
Sometimes we just need to hear it how it is. This is the approach John takes in writing his epistles.
Join Con and Scot as they explore how First John is a love letter from God, and it inspires love among God’s children. And for such a short letter, 2 John packs a lot in, the twin themes of love and truth dominating its theological content. 3 John addresses love and truth as the subject of hospitality, and also adds practical insights for leadership.

June 29, 2018 Paul and the Desire for Fame - KR 96
How should Christians view achieving fame, status, and honor?
The ancient world was addicted to the achieving as much fame and honor as possible. This honor was achieved through what was known as the cursus honorum. The cursus honorum was the path to achieve this status. It would be nice if the present world didn’t suffer from this unhealthy approach to life, but we know it all to well.
Paul has some subversive and important words to Christians in the ancient world and for our world today when it comes to how we should handle our desire for fame.

June 09, 2018 The Spirit of Pentecost - KR 95
What would the Church be without Pentecost?
Nonexistent is probably the best answer. In this Sermon Scot shares how Pentecost launched the early church by revealing God’s mission is our mission and that mission is to share the gospel. The church is not left without a means to accomplish this. Pentecost also shows that God’s power is also our power through the Spirit.

Jesus not only cares deeply for the marginalized, but Dr. Dennis Edwards reveals how First Peter empowers the marginalized to be Christ-like examples to all.
First Peter will assist you by affirming your Christian identity and guiding you in your relationships within and without the Christian community. Furthermore, despite the present challenges of living among people hostile to Christian faith, you will be reminded of our “living hope.”

May 18, 2018 The Sermon on the Mount (Story of God Series) - 92
The Sermon on the Mount is the moral portrait of Jesus’ own people.
Because this portrait doesn’t square with the church, this Sermon turns from instruction to indictment… This commentary has been written with the simple goal that God will use this book to lead us to become in real life the portrait Jesus sketched in the Sermon.
