Wake Before the Day

In episode #116 we study John 8 to compare and contrast the way from above to the way from below. The way of Jesus to the way of the world. Let's discuss!

In this podcast we encourage you to reflect on 2020 and all that's happened this year. As we do that and then turn our attention to 2021 we want to invite you to respond to a question Jesus asks in the Bible multiple times rather than settling for the same old "resolutions" that no one keeps and no one remembers. The question Jesus asks is this, "What do you want me to do for you?" How would you answer that question? Let's talk about it!

Are we in the end times? What does the Bible mean when it says we're waiting for the "Day of the Lord?" We respond to these questions and find a great deal of hope knowing that God is a God of order and peace. Let's discuss 2 Thessalonians 2.

I often hear from non-Christians and skeptics say, "The Bible makes God sound like some kind of power hungry dictator! Why does the Bible say we have to live to "please him"? That doesn't sound fun!" The problem with this statement is that they're viewing our relationship with God as a tyrant to a slave but as Christians we're to view our relationship through the lens and motivation of love. We seek to please those we love not because we fear them but because we care for them!

In episode #110 we talk about fearing God versus fearing humanity and how that drives what we say and do. We also discuss what it means to be entrusted with the Gospel. Let's discuss 1 Thessalonians 2!

Romans 16 reminds us that rich biblical doctrine leads to love and community among God's people. The final instruction given to us is to avoid false teaching, be an example to others and lastly to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil!

In this episode we focus on Paul's teaching to "submit to governing authorities" - pretty timely eh? We address what this looks like for us in 2020. When is it ok to disobey the government? How is the church navigating the COVID regulations? Let's dive in.

In Romans 11 we're reminded of God's faithfulness even when we are not. While Romans 12 is an often quoted chapter, we can't understand the full magnitude of it without first reading this chapter.

God, and the free gift of salvation, is opposed to "earning" but is not opposed to "effort". Like any relationship we are called to put effort into it! How is the Spirit inviting you into "obedience" today?
