Food & Faith

Lets take a journey through the Scriptures, together, and look at how often food and faith collide.  You might be shocked at how often God, in His interactions with man, does so over a meal.

Food & Fellowship

While we're at it, lets, also, talk about how having meals together can enhance our fellowship.  The pattern of the early church was rich with discipleship around the dinner table.  We believe families, churches and, honestly, pretty much everybody would be a little better off if they slowed down enough to share some meals together.

We hope this encourages you to invite some folks over for a feast in the name of our Lord!

In Chains For The Glory Of Christ

In this next edition of our "Large Chunks Of Scripture" Series we look at the writings of Paul while he was shackled up in chains.  His perspective on the gospel, Christ and just life in general have a lot to teach us which its why many are so familiar with this section of Scripture.

Take-a-ways

We talk through one take-a-way for each chapter and I've got the four listed below.

Its all about the Gospel

Having The Mind Of Christ

Press On Towards The Goal

Having Contentment In All things

Why Do You Gather With The Church?

In Hebrews Chapter 10, we are instructed to consider one another as we gather together.  What does that mean and how does it actually play out?

Consider, Promote, Encourage

These are the 3 words that my wife and I zoom in on, in the passage from Hebrews.  In the conversation we also look at Acts 4 and 1 John 3 to see how the early church lived this out and what the disciples taught about it as well.

We hope this episode encourages you towards greater love and good works

Putting Jesus In His Place

I'm joined this week by Pastor Doug Goodin to talk about his book, Exalted.  He has an immense passion to help Christians live lives that are obsessed with Jesus.

Created By Him And For Him

Everything is literally about Jesus.  His book and our discussion will touch on how to have Jesus Exalted in your mind and in your actions

What would change in your life if everything you did was filtered through the lenses of exalting, loving, and serving Jesus?

Is Santa Sinful

Should we celebrate Christmas without Santa? Some Christians say "yes", some say "no", and we say, "Let's get the cards out on the table, with open Bibles, and talk about it"!

Loco For Coco

Disney has a new film out called Coco.  Are its themes consistent with a Biblical worldview? Does it have content that we are able to enjoy and watch with our children?  Does media influence worldview and are all traditions, good traditions?

Join us as we discuss the film, these questions and other related topics.
