PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST is a movie that captures the ending days of Paul’s life and ministry. Luke, as a friend and physician, risks his life when he ventures into the city of Rome to visit Paul, who is held captive in Nero’s darkest, bleakest prison cell. But Nero is determined to rid Rome of Christians, and does not flinch from executing them in the grisliest ways possible. Before Paul’s death sentence can be enacted, Luke resolves to write another book, one that details the beginnings of “The Way” and the birth of what will come to be known as the church.
Bound in chains, Paul’s struggle is internal. He has survived so much—floggings, shipwreck, starvation, stoning, hunger and thirst, cold and exposure—yet as he waits for his appointment with death, he is haunted by the shadows of his past misdeeds. Alone in the dark, he wonders if he has been forgotten . . . and if he has the strength to finish well.
Two men struggle against a determined emperor and the frailties of the human spirit in order to live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ and spread their message to the world.

Come Join us at the Taste of Northern - goo.gl/TW5pEC
When an expert in the law asked Jesus for the greatest commandment, Jesus responded with the Shema, the ancient Jewish creed that commands Israel to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength.

April 13, 2018 Open to the Spirit (Part 2) - KR 88

March 23, 2018 Essenes Then and Now - KR 86
What is the appropriate way to respond to corruption?
In the first century, there was a group of Jews called the Essenes who countered the corruption in their day by entirely withdrawing from the rest of society. Scot unpacks how this group formed, their foundational beliefs, and the critical practices of the way this group lived. The Essenes were an essential part of the religious landscape in the first century when Jesus’ Kingdom took root. They also shed necessary light on how the Church can and should be taking root today.
Want to learn more about the Essenes by reading the Dead Sea Scrolls? These are the two sources Scot Suggested:

March 15, 2018 Zealots Then and Now - KR 85
How do you influence the world?
The ancient Jewish group known as the zealots had a specific way in which they thought they would win for God in the world. This ancient Jewish group had a difficult time understanding Jesus’ way and the way Jesus’ follower were to win in the world.

March 09, 2018 Sadducees Then and Now - KR 84
What happens when a group has privilege and power?
The Sadducees in the ancient world were a privileged and powerful Jewish group during the time of Jesus. Scot reveals the characteristics of the Sadducees and how Jesus' interaction with them challenge what one can and should do with power. Jesus' Kingdom vision challenged the Sadducees. Jesus' critique of their use of power should inform and challenge followers of Jesus today on how the Kingdom should take root.

February 23, 2018 Race and the Kingdom (Coversation with Derwin Gray - Rebroadcast) - KR 83
The embodiment of the Kingdom found in the New Testament and lived out through the Church was to be a vision of unity and diversity.
The Church in America, unfortunately, has remained one of the most segregated organizations instead of being a vision for unity and diversity. Pastor Derwin Gray and Transformation Church is a shining light of how the Church can be the type of diverse community it was intended to be.
Hear about Pastor Derwin’s journey of planting Transformation Church, the challenges they faced from being a multiethnic church, and steps any church can take to become a richer expression of the diverse Kingdom of God.

February 16, 2018 Pharisees Then and Now - KR 82
The term Pharisee is one of the most misused terms by Christians today.
Often it is used as a simple synonym for someone whose belief does not match the behavior of his or her life. Scot takes on this misconception and gives a better context about the Pharisees and how Jesus interacts with them in His ministry.
Jesus sees the Pharisees as people who were distracting others from the fullness of life that God has for His people.
