QuadCity Podcast

This weekend we take a break from our series on the Seven Churches of Revelation to give everyone an update on the vision and direction of the Church. Pastor Jason returns from his sabbatical energized to preach the word and let the Spirit lead our congregation.

Thank you for listening to the Becoming Better Podcast. We dive deeper into Sunday's message. We answer some questions and talk about how we all can become better disciples of Jesus. Thank you for listening.

Today we are going to do a deep dive into the church of Pergamum, and the warning of synchronism in their (and our) culture.

On this episode, Jason, Josh, and Nate sit down to discuss some of the hot takes they believe in. They also jump into Sunday's message, asking and answering some questions. If you have any questions for us on the podcast, you can submit them to quadcity.church/podcast. Well, without further ado, we hope you enjoy this conversation.

Here is what we can conclude from Jesus' letter to the church in Smyrna:

Jesus isn’t promising to pull you out of what you’re facing

He’s promising to walk with you through it.

To strengthen you in it.

To give you a hope that even death can’t touch.

So don’t quit.

Don’t walk away.

Don’t lose heart.

This is part two of our Becoming Better podcast. Jason, Josh, and Nate continue answering your questions. Thank you for joining us, and we hope you enjoy the rest of this episode.

Welcome to the Becoming Better Podcast. On this episode Jason, Josh, Nate sit down and talk about McDonalds and we jump into talking about sunday. This will also be a two part podcast. We want to make sure that we cover all the questions so we are going to do this as a two part series. We hope you stick around and listen to both episodes. Well we hope you enjoy this conversation.

The Biblical account of the church of Ephesus ends with a letter Jesus wrote to this church in Revelation chapter 2. From this letter we can see that they took seriously the expectation to get rid of the false teachers. Jesus commends them for doing so. However, in their eagerness to dispel false teachers, it seems they forgot the greatest command of all, to love God and love people.

Well, hey, and welcome to the Becoming Better podcast. On today's episode, Jason, Josh, and I sit down and we talk about Josh's New roommate, and we then dive into Sunday's message. If you would like to submit a comment about what has stuck out to you, then I want to encourage you to do that at quadcity.church/podcast. We look forward to talking about that on next week's bonus episode.

Paul ends with a flurry of personal instructions and greetings. This is a reminder to us that Paul was a real person, who lived in a real time in community with real people. Among the many names in this text we find people who have helped Paul along the way and those who have hurt him. What is the hard thing God has called you to do? If you only have God with you to do it, is that enough?
