Have you ever wondered what the Bible really says about...well...everything? Have you ever wondered what it looks like when two churches from wildly different backgrounds get together to talk about it? We sure did, which is why Unfailing Love Church and Unfinished Community have come together in this new series called "Untitled," where we spend time talking about the Bible, what it says, and how we can apply it to our own lives.

Today, we're finally doing it. Yes, it's the passage you've all been waiting for; Leviticus 18:22. Give it a listen to find out more about this passage, and to learn more about what it means to be a follower of Christ!

Today, we're digging into 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, and talking about lawsuits, conflict in Christian community, the origins of communism (hint: it's Jesus), and why it's stupid for churches and church folk to be suing anybody, right or wrong. Give it a listen to find out more about this passage, and to learn more about what it means to be a follower of Christ!

Welcome to our "new" series, "Back to Basics!" (Well...by new, we mean...repurposed. This isn't the same as the previous series by the same name!)

In this series, Pastor Don and Courtney Fraley are going to explore the Bible, one story at a time, starting at the beginning, and working our way forward until we either get bored or run out of Bible! Tune in every week for a brief exploration of the next chapter in that thrilling and oft-misunderstood story, the Bible!

In today's episode, we decided to make the best out of a weird overlap. Since "Untitled" (our other hit video/pod series with ones of listeners!) just recently covered Genesis 19 and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in detail, we figured we'd just cut to their analysis already in progress. So, if you've already seen/heard "Untitled's" take on this passage, feel free to pass right through this episode on to the next. Otherwise, tune in for some special guests, as we take apart Genesis 19, where it's STILL not the gays!

In today's episode, we are talking about the second part of Genesis 18, and the pronouncement of God's judgment against Sodom, Gomorrah, and all the rest. Did God just slip off a trio of bodies like you or I might slip off a pair of moderately uncomfortable shoes? If you annoy God long enough, do you accidentally wind up inventing keigo? Was it really the gays? No, seriously; was it actually the gays? Check out today's episode to find out about all that and more! (Spoiler alert; it really wasn't the gays!)

Today, we're digging into Ezekiel 16:44-58 and, just in case last week wasn't clear enough, taking a little more time to talk about what this whole "Sodom and Gomorrah" thing was really about. In case you were wondering, no; it's still got nothing to do with LGBTQIA folks, or really any kind of intimate sexuality. Give it a listen to find out more about this passage, and to learn more about what it means to be a follower of Christ!

In today's episode, we are talking about the first part of Genesis 18, and the encounter with "the Lord" at the Oaks of Mamre. Does this count as the first incarnation of God in the world and, if so, why is it a kind of slenderman-esque creepy? How are covenant-era Israelites and Hobbits the same? Did the Lord of the Rings crib a Christian hymn? Check out today's episode to find out about all that and more!

Today, we're digging into Genesis 19:1-29, and exploring the often misunderstood story of Sodom and Gomorrah. In case you were wondering, no; it's got nothing to do with LGBTQIA folks, or really any kind of intimate sexuality (though violations of consent abound, and we'll definitely talk about that!)

In today's episode, we dive into the discussion about Genesis 17, and the second crack at the whole "covenant" idea. Is circumcision a terrible idea, or does it make sense given Abraham's weird penchant for sexual abuse as a problem solving technique? Wouldn't you want to change your name after forcing everyone in your tribe to undergo involuntary genital surgery? If God can make you the father of many nations after cutting up your parts, what can't God do? Check out today's episode to find out about all that and more!

This is the sermon delivered remotely by Rev. Don Van Antwerpen to the congregation of First Reformed Church of New Brunswick, NJ, on Sunday, October 30, 2022. 

Drawing from a fiery rant by the prophet Isaiah, and the oft-misunderstood story of Zacchaeus in the gospel of Luke, join us for an occasionally spicy deep-dive into that hardest aspect of the Christian life: reconciliation.
