August 18, 2017 The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector - KR 60
How does God view us?
This may be the most important question that one can answer. Jesus tells a parable that not only challenges those who are listening, but it reveals the very character to God. The parable shows that God doesn’t judge how we often think he does, rather he always has the ability to get to the heart of the issue.
God loves us as we are and not how we should be. This view of God’s mercy shows the true character of God. It sets the foundation to be able to understand and be transformed by God on a deeper level.

August 03, 2017 The Parable of the Wicked Tenants - KR 59
God went to great lengths to help his people understand their identity.
The people of God have a rich story because of God’s faithfulness, but often it is a story that is tainted with God’s people not listening and obeying. This parable of Jesus provides a significant warning on not listening or acting upon God’s desire. God has given everyone the opportunity to continue His story through Jesus and this parable is a perfect example of it.

July 27, 2017 The Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16) - KR 58
How is it that generosity can create frustration?
In Jesus’ parable of the workers in the Vineyard he challenges his listeners to embrace the generosity and faithfulness of God. Jesus takes on the toxic attitude of envy that feeds the darkest parts of our hearts and casts a shadow over our eyes preventing us from the opportunity to see God at work.
If followers of Jesus don’t rid themselves of the envy that can plague their heart all they will be left with is frustration from the extravagant generosity of God toward others.

July 14, 2017 Devloping a Culture of Generosity (Part 1) - KR 56
The Church can never be all God wants it to be without the generosity of its people.
Leadership naturally creates the culture of any organization. It is clear that the leaders of the early Church deeply cared for the poor because they fostered a culture of generosity within the church. Scot lays the foundation from the New Testament on why and how the church can develop a culture of generosity.

June 15, 2017 Women Leading in the Church (Part 2) - KR 55
Throughout Scripture and church history, women have been central to the mission of God. But all too often women have lacked opportunities to minister fully. Many churches lack visible examples of women in ministry and leadership. This can and should be changed.
Scot and Tara Beth continue their conversation about how women can be emboldened to do the ministry they are gifted to do. When women teach, preach, lead, evangelize, pastor, and disciple, the church's imagination expands to better reflect God's story and hope for the world.

June 08, 2017 Women Leading in the Church (Part 1) - KR 54
Why have women been silenced & not allowed to lead in the Church?
Scot McKnight is a leading advocate for empowering women to be a part of every sphere of church leadership and work. Tara Beth Leach (Sr. Pastor of PazNaz) joins him to help tackle this conversation. This controversial topic always has the potential to be divisive and unproductive. In order for the Church to be all it can be we need to be more informed and thoughtful when it comes to the conversation about Women leading in the Church

June 01, 2017 Living Like Christ in the Face of Evil - KR 53
How does one be Christ like in a non-Christ like world?
Scot explores how 1 Peter sheds light on the answer to this question. In this letter the Apostle Peter shows that Christ’s life is the pattern for our faith. It also is the path to face unchristian behavior in the world. Scot shares three specific ways that Peter challenges his audience to respond in the face of evil.

May 26, 2017 The Drama of Jesus' Temptation - KR 52
Is there ever a time to delight in the defeat of an enemy?
Scot shows from the temptation of Jesus how Satan was defeated in and through Jesus’ victory over Satan’s temptation. The temptation of Jesus is one of the high points of drama in the story of his life and ministry. Jesus is a part of a much bigger cosmic battle where he proves to be victorious and leads his followers in victory through following Him.
