The Extra Point

Can God "change His mind" without changing His character? This conversation explores one of Scripture's most challenging questions before offering a simple Bible-reading practice that can transform the way you understand God's Word.

Romans 5 reveals that the Christian life is anchored by hope from beginning to end. Because Christ has justified us, sustains us by His grace, and promises to return in glory, even our deepest afflictions become part of God's work of shaping us into His likeness.

Two thoughtful questions from our study of Exodus open the door to deeper conversations about assurance of salvation and keeping the Sabbath.

Exodus 28 is one of those chapters many of us skim. It’s an entire chapter describing the high priest’s garments—gold, gemstones, bells, pomegranates, linen, and even undergarments. Why would God devote 57 verses to clothing? In this episode, we slow down and discover that every thread, every stone, and every stitch was preaching theology. Together we’ll explore what these garments looked like, what they meant for Israel, and how they ultimately point us to our Great High Priest, Jesus Christ.

When we think of costly obedience, we often picture sacrifice we choose. But Scripture suggests our greatest acts of faith may be found in how we respond when suffering, loss, and disappointment choose us—and whether we continue to treasure Christ above everything else.

Many believers know the stories of Scripture but struggle to see how they all fit together. Understanding God’s covenants reveals the Bible as one unfolding story of redemption, with every promise, law, and shadow ultimately pointing to Jesus Christ.

One of the most surprising commands in Exodus 19 appears just before God descends upon Mount Sinai. Far from being a statement about sexuality, it reveals a deeper truth about consecration, priorities, and the holiness of the God who was about to meet His people.

Growth rarely happens in the places where we feel strongest. Sometimes God uses our fears, our hesitations, and even the loving correction of others to reveal areas where He wants to deepen our faith and transform our character.

The bitter waters at Marah reveal more than a moment of provision in the wilderness. As the story of Scripture unfolds, this passage begins to echo a greater pattern of grace, where God transforms bitterness through the remedy only He can provide.

The crossing of the Red Sea is more than a dramatic miracle story—it’s part of a much bigger pattern woven throughout Scripture. From Moses in the Nile to Israel passing through the sea, God repeatedly reveals Himself as the One who rescues His people through what looks impossible.
