Teaching your church how to read the Bible may be the most powerful way to equip a community to become like Jesus.
It is so easy to tame the Bible to say what we want it to say. More often than not, we clip the wings of the Bible’s message instead of letting it soar and challenge us to climb to new heights with God. Learn from one of today’s leading New Testament Scholars how to teach your church how to read the Bible. There is no telling the places God will take your community.

November 01, 2017 Christians as Culture Creators (Part 2) - KR 69
How do we bring the Kingdom to where we live, work, and play?
Jesus created the Church to be the presence of the Kingdom in the world. The Church was a unique group of diverse people from all sorts of backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, and social status. God’s intention for the church was to be a vast fellowship of differents.
In this talk Scot unpacks how the Kingdom took root in the household of Philemon with the reconciliation of Philemon’s slave Onesimus back to the household. This letter proves to be an incredible vision for how the Kingdom can take root today. Interested in Scot’s new commentary on Philemon? You can find it here: http://goo.gl/cVYMha

October 27, 2017 Christians as Culture Creators (Part 1)- KR 68
What does God want me to do?
Ask any pastor and you will find that this is the most common question that pastors must field. The ironic thing is that God cares more about who we are than what we do.
Scot shows how God has a specific way for followers of Jesus to embrace the world and live out His will. No matter what you do God has a way that you can embody the presence of Christ in the life you live.

October 19, 2017 The Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) - KR 67
Jesus has an uncanny way to disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed.
In this Parable Jesus seems to invite those listening to imagine a world where judgment is surprising. Longing for and attention to Jesus’ return is so important and Jesus drives that point powerfully home in the Parable of the Ten Virgins. This parable is one of the most difficult to understand, but when we let Jesus imagine the world the implications of this parable would create it has significant consequences for the church today.

Epaphras – The Behind the Scenes Kingdom Worker – KR 66
One of the ways God built and is building the Kingdom is through the 'behind the scenes' workers that rarely get notoriety.
Paul’s friend and co-worker Epaphras was one of those behind the scenes kind of guys. He did so much to move the Kingdom forward, but we know very little about him. In this sermon, Scot unpacks what we can understand about Epaphras and how we can better recognize the 'behind the scenes' workers.

October 06, 2017 The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats - KR 65
Imagine a world where everyone was treated like a King.
In Jesus’ typical style he invites those following him to live in a whole different world. That world is one where no one is below being treated like a King. This parable has Jesus identifying himself with the most vulnerable and showing his followers how important it is for them to help those in need.
How are you treating the least of these, because it couldn’t be more important to Jesus?

The Parable of the Rich Fool - KR 64
Your life is not defined by what you possess, but what possesses you.
Jesus says that it is impossible to serve both God and money and this parable drives this important truth. The rich fool was possessed by his possessions. Scot, Kevin, and Joe talk about how Jesus invites his kingdom to be marked by generosity and that there is no room to be greedy with what God provides.
How are you using the abundance God has given you?
