Small Talk

Communion is celebrated at Wallula Christian Church every Sunday. It is easy to pass by the moment and not think about the layers of meaning and the significance of that moment. Studying the last supper helps us uncover so many deep truths wrapped up in this event. 

The parable of the persistent widow branches off from some of the normal patterns found in Jesus' parables. Much can be gleaned from this parable, such as learning more about God's character, our faithfulness, and what our prayer lives should look like. We also answer two questions submitted by a listener! 

This week we sit down with one of Wallula's small group leaders, Thomas Kane, to discuss the story of the prodigal son. This story helps us to better understand who God is, His love for us, and how we should respond when someone enters into His family. 

Zach, Craig, and Lance discuss the interaction between Jesus, Simon the Pharisee, and the sinful woman at the dinner party scene in Luke 7. A closer look is given to what our response to God's forgiveness should look like. And we answer our first question submitted by a listener!

This week we welcome Kasey Robinson, lead pastor at Westside Family Church Leavenworth. We spend some time pulling out the teaching points of Jesus' Good Samaritan parable and what we can do to apply it and take action. 

Craig, Zach, and Lance talk about Acts 6 and the example it shows us for service, prayer, and the mission of God. 

Lance, Craig, and Zach discuss the second half of Hebrews 3 where the author gives a model of how Christians should exhort one another. This is something we should do daily within a community of believers. We also consider the Exodus account and how it can shape our lives today. 

Lance, Craig, and Zach discuss the beginning of Hebrews 3 where the author mentions the "holy brothers who share in a heavenly calling", as well as the end of verse 6 when a conditional statement is given about being confident and boastful of our hope through Jesus. 

Lance, Craig, and Zach discuss the different names of Jesus given in Hebrews 2:10 and how it shapes our understanding of who he is. They also consider how Jesus is the perfect example of how to remain faithful to God through temptation while also leaning on him for help. 

Small Talk is back with Wallula's new study on Hebrews! Lance, Craig, and Zach discuss the signs of drifting away from the gospel and things we can do to stay on course each day. They also discuss why Christians are able to look to Jesus for comfort when trials and suffering come.
