The Word episodes

  • The LIVING God: Immutability?

    Today we look at Malachi 3:6 - “I am the Lord, I do not change” - and consider what this really says about the Living God. Along the way we will explore some Neo Platonist philosophy, some bad theology, the concept of “immutability”, and something called “proof texting”. Buckle up and get ready to engage with the Word!

  • S4E36. “Divided”. Luke 11:29-36.
    When Jesus’ detractors demand a miraculous sign, he responds by telling them that the only sign they will get is the sign of Jonah. This message was originally delivered at Memory Chapel on Sunday July 2, 2023.

  • S4E35. “The Holy and The Unholy”. Luke 11:13-28.
    Jesus shifts the conversation from prayer to the Holy Spirit and delineates the Holy from the unholy. There is a line in the sand and no neutral ground. We cannot seek the holy apart from the Holy Spirit. The path of blessedness lies in hearing the Word of God and heeding it! This message was originally delivered at Memory Chapel on Sunday, June 25, 2023.

  • S4E34. “A Magnanimous Father”. Luke 11:5-13.
    This week we emphasize a word: magnanimous. It refers to a person that is great in spirit. It wraps up the ideas of being gracious, generous, others-oriented, others-serving, and quick to forgive. The Bible might not use the word “magnanimous”, but it definitely does teach us that all that is summed up by this word is true of our Heavenly Father. In Luke 11:5-13, Jesus teaches us about prayer by highlighting the contrast between human fathers that even at their best can nevertheless be self-serving with the magnanimity of the Heavenly Father who defines himself by other-serving love. This message was originally delivered at Memory Chapel on Sunday, June 18, 2023.

  • S4E31. “A Prayer for Students pt 13: Radical Dependence”. Luke 11:1-4.
    As Jesus teaches us to pray, he focuses our attention upon our inherent, radical dependence upon God. We should acknowledge and embrace this dependence… a dependence that we will never outgrow, but rather, as we grow to maturity in Christ, our realization of this dependence will only grow. This message was originally delivered at Memory Chapel on Sunday, May 28, 2023.
