In this episode we will look at the various terms that describe what members of Jesus' family are (their nature) and the various terms that describe them as a group (their collective identity). These terms are scattered across the Old Testament, so we pull them all together here and talk about what these terms can tell us about Jesus. After all, if Jesus was a Co-Creator of these spiritual beings, then looking at them more closely will be like looking more closely at a piece of art - eventually you discover something about the artist who made them.

In this episode we are going to take a look at a passage of scripture that gives us a rare, but intriguing glimpse of God meeting with his divine council. Jesus, as a part of the godhead, is obviously present in the meeting, but is not specifically named or identified. However, we think you will be genuinely surprised by how God conducts this meeting, and the implications it has for our understanding of God and other spiritual beings in his "household." 

Key Scriptures and Concepts:

1 Kings 22:1-23 - Micaiah shares his vision of God meeting with the divine council

Job 1:6-7 - The divine council has periodic meetings, and apparently, not all the members of the divine council are always gathered around God's throne.

We take a pause from our regularly scheduled program. ;) Tiffany talks about actually Connecting with Jesus... not just talking about him. This one is short and sweet. She reads from John 15:4-5 when Jesus says I am the vine; you are the branches.

Did you know that Jesus had a "family" before the events recorded in Genesis 1? He of course had God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit, from all eternity. But did you know there's a group of spiritual beings that surround God's throne who are called "the sons of God"? In fact, these "sons of God" are just one group among several groups. This is the first of a series of episodes where we are going to explore these different groups of spiritual beings in God's Household, and the role they play in the story of Jesus. 

Genesis 1:1

Continuing the journey through Hebrews 1 we explore how Jesus is the Representative of God, and Rules from the right hand of God. We unpack the metaphor of the signet ring as a way to understand how Jesus is the "exact representation of God's person." We also point out the difference between forgiveness and cleansing, and how that difference enriches our understanding of what Jesus has done for us. 

Hebrews 1:3

In this episode we explore some of Hebrews chapter 1 and the unique role Jesus plays in revealing and radiating the fullness of God to us. And, as usual, we share some metaphors that can help us talk about how he does this from a Trinitarian perspective.

Meet the Catchims and why they are starting a podcast that focuses exclusively on Jesus. Almost everybody knows his name yet he's one of the most misunderstood people in all of history.
