The Uncommon Truth

This week we're looking at Jesus' letter to the church in Pergamum. He's proud of the faith that remains despite their circumstances, but that up with some difficult words. If they don't do away with the false gospels among them, he'll make war against them.

It can be easy to relax in our christianity and begin thinking we've got it. However in every one of Jesus' letters to the churches he has something important for them to work on. How can we become a church that overcomes till the end? What steps is Jesus calling us to make? He always has something better in store for us, no matter what we're facing.

This week's passage is the second letter from Jesus in Revelation. He holds nothing against this church, but at first glance the letter seems fairly grim.

Jesus presents the Church in Smyrna with an interesting path to follow. They've remained faithful during the storms, but a bigger storm is on the horizon. He calls them to trust in him for a short while longer, and their reward will be the crown of life. Are we willing to build our faith before the storm comes? Do we believe that Jesus is good even when times are tough?

This week we're beginning our journey through Jesus' letters to the churches in Revelation. Jesus told John to write to the church in Ephesus and commend them for their good deeds and firm foundation on the truth. Then he tells them to repent and return to their first love, or their lampstand will be removed from its place.

How can we build a life reliant on Jesus, being fully surrendered, while still giving him our all? What would our lives look like if we really knew we were loved and chosen, and from that place spent our time loving in response?

Welcome to Season 4! A huge thank you to all our listeners for your continued support of the show. We're kicking off this season with a general overview of the book of Revelation, and getting set up for the rest of the season with some context and much-needed information. Steve shares his history with the final book in the Bible, and the huge role it should play in our lives.

Jesus is serious about Christianity, and it's easy to see when you read 'The Revelation of Jesus Christ.' We're challenged to take a hard look at what our role in his story is, what Jesus is expecting, and how we should live with him, and in response to him. As we encounter his love and holiness a response is required. What should that response look like? That's what we're diving into this season, and we hope you'll join us along the way!

This week we're looking at the command of Christ. We can get distracted trying to live by all the rules and traditions we were raised with, while forgetting what Jesus really said. His one command was this: Love as I have loved you.

Steve and Vicki dive into what it really looks like to love as they have been loved by Christ. To what extent should we give of ourselves? And what do we do when people don't love back, is it okay to stop loving?

This week we're diving into a common theme that's popped up throughout this season, but hasn't had the spotlight yet. Holiness can be difficult to understand, since we are far from perfect, but still called to be perfect.

How do we live a life of holiness before the Lord when we know we won't get it perfect? Do we make a decent effort and hope Jesus will cover us? Or do we give our all, fall short, and walk in confidence that Jesus is bridging the gap?

This week in our kingdom series, we're looking at what Jesus gave, and what he was focused on.

At the last supper the disciples get into a debate about who is the greatest among them. In the midst of this, Jesus was busy telling them that they were called to give their lives for his kingdom. It's so easy to lose focus of Jesus' idea of the perfect kingdom, and start pursuing money, influence, and recognition. What are you looking at?

This week we're looking at what Jesus sees as greatness in the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus lived perfectly as a servant who gave it all for the One who sent Him. How come we get stuck focusing on ourselves?

As we discuss Jesus' servant based kingdom, we're immediately challenged by our selfishness. How can we let go of ourselves and trust Jesus to take care of us? What are some practical steps towards becoming great in the Kingdom?

As we venture into one of the final episodes of Season 3 of the Uncommon Truth, we realize how similar we are to the disciples. After Jesus' death and resurrection his disciples still had their mind on their own kingdoms. Jesus, however, had a different plan in mind. 

The words of Jesus in Acts chapter 1 immediately challenge our thinking on what it means to live in the Kingdom of Jesus. Are we focused on building up our own lives, or are we open to and focused on making Him famous? What does building His kingdom look like in everyday life?

This week we're sharing one of Steve's sermons that we referenced in Season 3 Episode 17. Steve shares about forgiving others, what it takes to be forgiven, and how releasing forgiveness effects you. If you feel stuck in any area of your life the odds that it's related to withholding forgiveness are quite high.

Steve dives into Luke 6 where we find Jesus' words clearly stating that if you don't forgive others from your heart, you won't be forgiven either. So what does it mean to truly forgive? How can we possibly forgive people who have caused us years of trauma, pain, and shame? If forgiveness is so difficult, is it really a requirement?
