TreasureCast

What do Calvinism and lasagna have in common besides being delicious, layered delicacies that warm the soul? Join Pastors John, Drew, Matt J, and Matt E in the second part of our discussion on Joyful Calvinism, also known as the doctrines of grace. They delve into several helpful aspects of this theology mentioned in episode 4 and even enjoy some lasagna on the show. They highlight some enlightening truths from Romans 8, Romans 9, and explore terms worth digging deeper into. The pastors discuss how believers can experience joy—a settled certainty—that God is in control, and how God works all things together for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.

What is your first memory of money? Was it good or bad? Is it biblical to tithe as New Covenant Christians? Why is it important to steward what God has given us, and should we really leave an inheritance to our children's children? Join Pastors John, Drew, and Rich as they discuss stewardship and generosity this holiday season. They will delve into examples of how and whom we should be generous with. Even if life hasn't gone as you thought it would financially, it’s no excuse to not be generous with what God has given us stewardship over. This discussion will likely span two episodes, as there is so much to cover. We'd love to hear from you!

Time is flying by again, and the holiday season is right around the corner. Typically, holidays involve seeing family and friends that you may not see that often. People you love and get along with, but also people you may not prefer to be around. The world often tells us that we should never bring up two things at family gatherings—religion and politics. Join Pastor John, Pastor Drew, and Pastor Rich as they discuss "The Holidays" and how we as Christians should navigate them. They also talk about several pitfalls that await the Christian during the holidays, offer encouragement on how to not fall into them, and guidance on how to treasure Christ this holiday season.

Sexual sin is rampant in our world today. This sin also finds its way into the church. There have been a lot of unfortunate news reports with various Christian leaders (our heroes of the faith) falling into sexual sin over the last several decades. This is not a new problem and is something that the enemy uses to destroy leaders and and scatter the church. The most recent offender being Steven Lawson. Join hosts Pastor John Pfannerstill and Pastor Drew Hacker as they discuss this important issue with Pastor Derek Best and Pastor Marsel Lela. They go into details that often are the root behind how this happens and how Christians can seek to fight this type of sin.
