May 11, 2017 The Great Gospel Experiement (Part 2) - KR 50
What does it look like for a fellowship of differents to take root?
Books of the Bible like Paul’s letter to Philemon are incredible treasures for the present day Church because they are a real life example of how difficult issues got worked out in mission. It is easy to be idealistic about a vision taking root, but it is another thing all together for it actually to happen. Scot and Geoff talk about how this happened with Philemon and how it can happen for the Church today.

May 04, 2017 The Great Gospel Experiment (Part 1) - KR 49
Vision is necessary for any type of movement to take root.
Paul had a vision from God on what the local church should look like. This unique and inclusive vision for Paul’s churches was able to take root so powerfully through embracing the great gospel experiment. Paul’s challenge for the church was to live out this vision that demonstrates to the world God is creating a new community that embodies God’s redemptive work in Christ.

April 27, 2017 The Parable of the Treasure and the Pearl - KR 48
Have you ever had to give up something of value to gain something else of greater value?
In these parables Jesus illuminates the fact that following Jesus in discipleship is costly, but also well worth the cost. There is great joy that comes when the true value of Jesus’ Kingdom is discovered and embraced. Jim Elliott captures it well when he says, “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”

The resurrection is the biggest “IF” in all of history because if it is true all of life changes with it.

April 06, 2017 Embracing Holy Week and the Church Calendar - KR 45
Following the Church calendar is one of the most powerful ways to embrace and be shaped by the gospel in discipleship.
God has blessed the Church with the Church calendar as an opportunity to physically remember and be transformed by embodying the greatest events of God’s people. Scot shares about his journey of paying more attention to the Church calendar and why he began to spend more time remembering the great events of God through embodying them in the Church calendar.

March 24, 2017 The Unforgiving Servant (Matthew 18:23-35) - KR 44
The Unforgiving Servant (Matthew 18:23-35)
Imagine a world with more forgiveness.
It has been said that withholding forgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping the other person will die. Jesus uses this powerful parable not just as an illustration about forgiveness, but also as an invitation into a deeper relationship with God through forgiveness. The reciprocal nature of God’s grace is such that when it is given it creates the opportunity to deepen the relationship with a responding gift.
At first look this parable seems like it might not be very gracious, but when it is put into it’s historical context it’s easy to see that this parable is actually a perfect example of how God’s grace invites us into a greater story.

March 17, 2017 The Lost (Prodigal) Son: Luke 15:11-32 - KR 43
What kind of party does God like to throw?
Jesus’ parable of the lost son reveals the heart of God about those who are far from Him. It is clear that God celebrates the worst of sinners coming to Him and invites all to the celebration. Jesus captures our imagination once again in this parable he invites us to join the celebration of redemption like only He can throw.

February 24, 2017 The Barren Fig Tree: A Parable of Jesus (Luke 13:6-9) - KR 42
Stories have power.
No matter what you think about Jesus, no one can deny that he was a master storyteller. Jesus’ stories or parables were used to invite listeners to imagine a world saturated in Kingdom living. These stories inspire, disrupt, and sometimes even trick us into understanding the truth.
In this episode Scot and Chaz have a conversation with Scott Reed about the Parable of the Barren Fig Tree. This parable shocks the listener into hearing some important truths when it comes to God’s judgment and justice.
