Rockville Church of Christ episodes

  • As God Sees (1 Samuel 10:21-24)
    Studies have shown we are generally more likely to trust the people we find
    attractive or have a “presence” about them. Those who “look the part” are
    more likely to receive our listening ears, our votes, our willingness to
    hire them, and our delegation of important roles to them. 1 Samuel
    highlights how the Israelites, including the prophet Samuel, fall into the
    trap of relying on the data their eyes are receiving. But God has a strong
    message about the reliability of our eyes in making value judgments. We
    explore and apply.

  • Resident Aliens (1 Peter 2:9-17)
    The Christian model for relationship with civil government is actually
    based on the experience of exile of the Jewish people. So what does being
    “Resident Aliens” mean for our understanding of citizenship and political
    engagement? We ask some of those exiles and listen to the wisdom of 1 Peter
    2.

  • Three Men and a Savior (Acts 9:22-28)
    Jesus creates unlikely friendships. He was the reason these men were
    enemies. And then He became the reason they were friends. We examine the
    relationships between Paul, Barnabas, and John Mark to see what we learn
    about Christian friendship, especially what it is capable of enduring.

  • The Groaning of Creation (Romans 8:14-30)
    God’s creation is good. But it is not at rest. It is fallen. And it is
    groaning. We too groan within it, longing for something more, longing for a
    state like Eden without the curse of sin and death which affects all
    creation. Romans 8 helps us make sense of history and God’s redemptive plan
    by viewing it all through the lens of the resurrection - Phase 1 with Jesus
    and Phase 2 still in our future.
