In this week’s episode, we welcome another former Zion Vicar, Pastor Brock Schmeling, to discuss the rest of 2 Corinthians and some of Galatians with Pastor Tom Marcis and Vicar Aidan Moon. See how the cross of Christ is a paradox of suffering and exaltation—a mystery that shapes the believer’s life.

Join Pastor Tom Marcis and Vicar Jason Kohm as they discuss the Reformation, Martin Luther, and the origins of the Lutheran Church.

Split by division and stuck in sinful practices, the Corinthians had fallen woefully short of the standard Paul charged them to live in—which is precisely why he wrote to them. Join Pastor Tom Marcis and Vicar Jason Kohm as they reflect on the Christian life that Paul presents in his epistles to the Corinthians. Living as a Christian isn’t merely “Do this, don’t do that,” but it’s also a life filled with the love of God, which infinitely affects the world around us.

Paul sure has a lot to say in his epistles! Join Pastor Tom Marcis and Vicar Jason Kohm as they finish their discussion on Romans and dive into 1stCorinthians. See how we live as Romans 7 sinners with a Romans 8 God, who sets us free from our bondage to sin as a gift. Additionally, this episode ends by setting up the world that the Corinthians lived in—and why Paul had a problem with it.

Acts ends with Paul spreading the Good News of Christ all the way to Rome, the pagan capital of the ancient world. Join Pastor Tom Marcis and Vicar Jason Kohm as they finish looking at the book of Acts and provide a crash course on reading the New Testament Epistles. From the moment of his conversion, nothing would prevent Paul from strongly preaching the Gospel for the rest of his life. See how Jesus worked powerfully through this former persecutor of the church!

This week’s episode introduces a key player in the formation of the church: Paul, the persecutor-turned-apostle by the Lord Jesus Himself. Join Pastor Tom Marcis, Vicar Aidan Moon, and our guest Pastor Douglas Bergelin as they continue to discuss the church’s movement across the world in Acts. See how the Lord spread the good news of salvation to all people.

If you enjoyed reading Luke’s gospel, you’re in luck—he wrote a second book called Acts that continues the story. Join Pastor Tom Marcis and Vicar Jason Kohm as they discuss the overlap between Luke and Acts. Jesus’ work was far from over after His Resurrection. See how Jesus sent His Holy Spirit upon the apostles to spread the good news of salvation way beyond Jerusalem, to the ends of the earth.

Today we begin to cover the last of the four gospels in our Trek through the Scriptures: Luke! Join Pastor Tom Marcis and Vicar Aidan Moon as they set the scene for Luke’s gospel with this week’s guest, our former Vicar Ben Ramthun. See how Luke’s gospel is intended to create and nourish Christians throughout their whole lives.

Join Pastor Tom Marcis, Vicar Aidan Moon, and special guest, Pastor Bill Gauger, as they discuss John's Gospel, both up close and in the bigger context of the Gospels, the New Testament, and the Bible as a whole.

Matthew begins with Jesus’ birth, and Mark begins with Jesus’ ministry—but John starts His gospel at the very, very beginning, when God created the universe through His Word, revealed to be Jesus Himself. Join Pastor Tom Marcis and Vicar Jason Kohm as they discuss the two different endings of Mark and take an in-depth look at John 1. We may not be able to fully wrap our heads around God becoming man, but we do see a wonderful expression of His love in this mystery.
