  • Happy Birthday Podcast Parables!
    Happy First Birthday Podcast Parables! 
    One year ago, the vision was born to create a podcast that would tell the stories of the Bible in a unique and special way. Because of the goodness and graciousness of God, here we are-- 68 episodes in, hours and hours of content created, four seasons worth of Bible explored, and 40 Bible characters interacted with. 
    Join me in this celebratory episode where we pause, reflect back, jump for joy, and continue to walk forward in faith. 
    Thank you, listeners! 
    "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 3:14

      • Cornelius
        Podcast Parables - Season 4
        GEN1 - Proclaiming Jesus. Building the Church
        Episode 5 - Cornelius
        Around these parts, we love exploring and interacting with Scripture and encourage you to do the same. All of these stories are taken straight from the pages of the Word, with Biblical integrity and historical accuracy held at highest priority but there is permission to fill in the blanks of what was not written and to imagine what might have been. So, welcome, glad you’re here! Today, we will take a look at Cornelius, a Roman centurion, and labeled the first GENTILE, or non-Jewish convert to The Way. James E. Kiefer says, “In New Testament times, an estimated ten per cent of the population of the Roman Empire consisted of God-fearers, Gentiles who recognized that the pagan belief in many gods and goddesses, who according to the myths about them were given to adultery, treachery, intrigue, and the like, was not a religion for a thoughtful and moral worshipper, and who had accordingly embraced an ethical monotheism--belief in One God, who had created the world, and who was the upholder of the Moral Law. Although only a few of them took the step of formal conversion to Judaism, undergoing circumcision and accepting the obligations of keeping the food laws and ritual laws of Moses and his rabbinical interpreters, most of them attended synagogue services regularly.” http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/97.html 
        This is the story of Cornelius, found in Acts Chapter 10. Enjoy.

      • Tabitha

        Podcast Parables - Season 4

        GEN1 - Proclaiming Jesus. Building the Church

        Episode 5 - Tabitha

        Tabitha was this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds. She is always portrayed in artworks and commentary as a holy woman, and that may well have been true. But she also sounds like one of those large-bosomed, generous-hearted women loved by all. She was used by God because she used what she had. Her kindness changed a whole community. Even if that’s all we know for sure, today, friends. That’s something we can absolutely take with us. We can all be used by God by using what we’ve got. And kindness matters in community.

        Listen in to her story today! Enjoy.

          • Gamaliel
            Podcast Parables - Season 4
            GEN1 - Proclaiming Jesus. Building the Church
            Episode 4 - Gamaliel
            Gamaliel was a renowned Rabbi, powerful Pharisee, and member of the esteemed Sanhedrin. He taught Saul as a young man and he used his voice to calm the storm that raged in the wake of the Apostles' wild behavior after Jesus ascended and left them the Holy Spirit. Gamaliel had the wherewithal to step into the fray and provide some much needed insight and perspective, even when his own beliefs, generational history and fellow countrymen did not agree.
            Listen in to his story today! Enjoy.

          • Sapphira

            Podcast Parables - Season 4

            GEN1 - Proclaiming Jesus. Building the Church

            Episode 3 - Sapphira

            Status. Power. Prestige. Honor. >>> Ananias and Sapphira got it twisted. They thought their core standards of interacting with the world matched the ways of Jesus. They loved what Jesus had to offer-- the prayer services were great, the fellowship was awesome, the people were amazing. But they didn’t realize that the way of Jesus went beyond a great service; it required sacrifice.
