Romans 5-10 The Book of Romans is a foundational document for Christianity, giving us a detailed look at the Gospel.

Weston interviews Josh and Rikki Reed as they describe their journey toward the full time mission field in Mexico.

Romans 1:18-32 God, through His Word, gives us a clear understanding of biblical sexuality. As believers we must know the truth that frees us from bondage to sin. Satan's strategy is to make sin seem normal and righteousness seem strange.

2 Corinthians 8-13 Paul's defense of himself and his ministry gives us a well rounded picture of Gospel integrity looks like and how we can grow in it.

2 Corinthians 1-5 Through the afflictions and pain of the apostle Paul we see the closeness and comfort of God that he would not have experienced had not suffered. God reveals his presence uniquely and specially through our pain and affliction. As jars of clay, we can let the light and beauty of Jesus shine through our cracks in this life.

1 Corinthians 12-15 When the Church gathers, Jesus should be visible. Visible in our serving, our worship and everything that we do for the purpose of building up the church.

We have Andrew Wingo on to talk about the different ways our churches, and others, have, are, and will collaborate for the gospel in the Galesburg area. (Apologies for the audio quality being poorer than usual, and that Andrew isn't as in focus as he should be.)

1 Corinthians 6-11 When reading Scripture, we need to make sure we don't just learn the situational lesson; we also take in the central lesson of staying tethered to the Gospel.

1 Corinthians 1-5 Paul writes a letter of course correction to a newer church that had veered away from the true north of following Christ. Divisions in the church can happen when the body of Christ focuses on people or personalities. However, when Jesus remains at the center, the church unifies under him.

We walk through the whole book of Galatians, focusing in on how the Gospel is to be our True North, and what captures our attention is what determines our direction.

1 & 2 Thessalonians Paul wasn't planning to go to Thessalonica, but, led by the Spirit, he went and preached the good news of salvation. Though he was only with that church for 3 weeks, Paul had a deep affection for them which appears in his two letters to this church. The main theme is that Christ is returning; therefore, we as Christians must be ready and eagerly awaiting his return.

Weston, Damon, and Kiera talk all about summer camp and how to get hyped.

Guest Preacher - Pastor Scott Cramer Philippians 4:10-20

Acts 15:12-22 We explore the process the early Church went through in handling the conflict in Acts 15, how that maps onto us and our own church, as well as how we need the gospel to live any of it out.

Acts 6-10 The Holy Spirit was a huge part of the early church spreading and starting new churches. He is the third person of the Godhead and we as believers must not resist, suppress, quench, or grieve the Spirit of God.

We interview Toni Doubet and discuss the Library Ministry she heads up, as well as "What'cha Reading" (obviously, with the Library) and "Redeeming the World", focused on creation, since Toni and her husband love hiking/camping.

Acts 1:6-11 An overview of the book of Acts, including other New Testament books covered chronologically within our study of Acts. This message covers how God grows His church despite His followers and through His followers.

John 20:1-16

John 12:2-8 More than just contrasting Judas and Mary, we see the appeal and addiction of being calculated criticism as well as the transforming power of simply worshiping Jesus.

Mark 12:28-34 Jesus gives the greatest commandment, to love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul mind and strength. The second goes hand-in-hand with it – you should love your neighbor as yourself.

We interview our new Director of Stewardship, Wayne Carl.

Matthew 19:13-26 What does it look like to come to Jesus empty-handed? So many of us come to Jesus holding onto so much. And Jesus has asked us to let those things go, and come, follow Him.

Kevin, Weston, and Damon discuss how they have been tackling what to preach on in our New Testament plan for this year. Also, a brief segment of What'cha Reading as well as Redemptive Recap.

Luke 17:1-10 Jesus warns his disciples not to lead others astray into temptation, but to confront and forgive fellow believers. As we trust God faithfully we must also serve humbly.

John 9:1-5 Spiritual blindness keeps us from seeing our blindness, and only Jesus is the one who can grant us true Spiritual sight to see Him and so many other aspects of our lives.
