The Book of Philemon is a short, personal letter from Paul to Philemon. It's only 25 verses and it's incredibly difficult to understand what Paul is conveying without context. Join us as we peel back the layers of this brief yet powerful message and take a look at how Paul expertly reprimands a companion whom he is close to, who hosts one of the first-generation churches in his home, and (and this is important) who was a slave owner.

Emmaus Road is a famous story in the Bible but not a very famous road, nothing about it is significant except that two Believers were walking down it. Despite this, the risen Jesus chose to walk with them and teach them all afternoon and break bread with them in the evening. Two seemingly random Christ followers, on a seemingly random road, headed home... yet the risen Christ chose to take the time to walk with them, teach them, and break bread with them. Remember, this same Jesus Christ walks alongside you as well.

We give Thomas a bad rap. He is commonly known as Doubting Thomas in the bible, but is that actually the whole picture? Join us as we discuss the situation and history surrounding Resurrection Day and why, maybe, it was the poor witness of the other disciples that created doubt in Thomas in the first place.

The story of Esther is a story teeming with violence, sex, war, immorality, lust, and betrayal. The Book of Esther is not a love story. It is not a story of submission or the definition of a good marriage. Join us as we deep dive into the history surrounding the unusual marriage of Queen Esther to King Xerxes I, King of Persia.

This week we’re going to tackle the context, history and impact surrounding one of Jesus’ most interesting  miracles: the healing of a man possessed by several demons and the casting of them into a passel of pigs.

Do you know the Easter Story? We sat down with some of the children in our church to find out what they knew about the Easter story and the trial, crucifixion, death, and resurrection. I think you'll be surprised how much they know and how raw and real their response is. Jesus calls us to have child-like faith. Join us as we dive into the Passion of Christ.

Imagine for a moment you’re one of the disciples. Jesus was betrayed, stood trial, and was killed before your eyes. You put all your hope in his teachings and his words. You believed he was the Savior. Now, 3 days later, you are in a time of mourning at his death, and you are in hiding fearing for your own life. You think to yourself: How do I know that I can trust that my sins are forgiven? How can I trust that what Jesus Christ said is true?... After a moment, you look up and you see Mary running up to you, yelling: “The grave is empty!”

When we read the gospel narratives, we typically approach them as one narrative, like a news paper article, but they are more like a police report. They are an account of what took place, written from different perspectives, but explaining the same event. How do we know we can trust the Resurrection? Are we trusting the word of a few disciples? If it was fabricated, who would do it? How would they? Why? We explore all these topics and more as we investigate: Can we trust that the Resurrection actually happened?

God

/ɡäd/

noun

“1. (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being.” Oxford Language Dictionary.

But how does one really define God? How do you know that the one you call “God” is God as described in the Bible? This episode clarifies a statement that I (Imran) made in an earlier episode when I incorrectly equated the god of Islam to God in the Bible. This conversation ultimately leads us to the question: How is our God different among other modern gods? Join us in our discussion.

Part 2 of 2
This week we talk about Faith VS. Faithfulness. When we learned the story of Samson in Sunday school, it was probably a story about strength, love, betrayal and heroism. What we learn when we read the story as adults with the full context and maturity of adulthood you can see that the story of Samson is about a slow fade to unfaithfulness. Samson teaches us that once we lose our faithfulness, the world will overcome us. Today we will learn that a commitment to FAITHFULNESS is far more difficult than a commitment to FAITH because commitment to Jesus means being a disciple and not just a “believer.”
