What happens in Shinar, definitely doesn’t stay in Shinar. The Bible uses this land metaphorically to describe wickedness and the moving away from God toward our own desires—away from God’s best, to cheap imitations of what we want. This week we will consider the passages that mention Shinar and see how God enters into wickedness and rebellion to rescue his people.   WAYS TO LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE:

Paul mentioned praying for the churches he's writing to in several of his letters, but in the letter to the Ephesians, he actually prays . . . twice!

During these two weeks, be part of the group as they look at what it means to be filled with the fullness of God, and how praying that for those around us can have a tremendous impact.   WAYS TO LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE:

"What's in a name?" is a famous question Juliet asked in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. And while she wasn't asking the question about the Bible, when you read the Bible, you find that names mean a lot. Great meaning is attached to both people and places. And so it should be no surprise that when it comes to God, the central figure in the Scriptures, His name—or actually His names—matters a lot. So much so, in fact, that one name can't fully represent God's power and majesty. Join the group this week as they discover how knowing the names of God in the Bible can help us appreciate more of who God is. What's in a name? Apparently a lot.   WAYS TO LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE:
