Faith On Hill

It's called Numbers because they take a census. Also, a man is ungrateful for his life-saving, talking pack animal and we talk about the one time that Bible College kids were allowed to swear.

This we we answer a pretty straightforward question: Can Christians Get Divorced? But the Christian view of this subject spans a wide range of opinions and is anything but simple. Also, we talk about eunuchs, because of course we do...

This week we talk about the death of Samuel and letting God build the kingdom.

Many people in our church were surprised to discover that Leviticus wasn't part of our "10 Least Read Books of the Bible" sermon series last year. In fact, Leviticus is highly read, in large part because it can be highly controversial. It contains some of the clearest and most direct teachings on human sexuality. It also has some of the most well-known parts of the Bible that Christians don't foll...

21 years ago, the towers fell and our world was changed. But as more people have no direct memory of this tragedy, what responsibility do they have to learn and what responsibility do we have to teach? Today we talk about the Biblical concept of memorials stones, both personal and communal and how we see this played out in the memory of 9/11.

In chapter 25 we hear the story of Nabal and death of the prophet Samuel.

Last week Jesus taught his disciples to do right by others. But what happens when someone doesn't do right by you? What happens when someone who is supposed to be on your team does you wrong? What happens when the sin comes from inside the church family?

We're back! This week we talk about abuse and toxic cultures and how people misuse the Bible for evil ends. Also, we talk about how you really need to make sure the cave is empty before you use it as a bathroom...

Who is the greatest? Who is the best? Who is the most important? Jesus' disciples really wanted to know the answer to this question... and the answer Jesus gave probably surprised them.

This week, we get to hear from Pastor Brian Hotrum. He will be taking the leadership of our conference of churches in November. Brian currently pastors our sister-church in Sweet Home, Oregon.

This week we study the 17th chapter of the Gospel According to Matthew. Jesus is revealed in his glory and demonstrates his power and authority.

Have you ever needed to get your head right? Too much distraction? Too much noise? Lack of focus? The people who followed Jesus weren't any different than us. They had outside voices, distracting situations and misunderstandings all over the place. They needed to get their head right and remember the only thing that matters: Jesus.

In this episode we talk with Brian Hotrum. He is a historian, pastor, and soon to be Doctor of Ministry. He has pastored churches in Oregon and the Mid-west, including several years at a church in the St. Johns neighborhood of PDX. He currently pastors our sister church in Sweet Home, Oregon. Brian and Adam talk about hope and despair, lessons that history can teach us for today, and how Brian's m...

The book of Exodus is an incredibly human story that lives in the duality of the natural and the supernatural... it's also one of the books of the Bible with the most active divine intervention. The book is made up of two overall stories: Deliverance and Dedication... and in this episode we talk about both of them.

The people outside the church want something. The people inside the church want something. But what does Jesus want?

In episode 62, we look at finding shelter and safety in the kingdom of God

In this episode we start at the very beginning and look at the Book of Genesis. What is it about? What are the tricky issues? Where is Jesus seen?

Everyone has a code or set of rules they expect the world around them to follow. But what rules does God expect us to follow? What happens if God's list is at odds with the list of others?

In this episode we talk about David living in the trauma of uncertainty and fear. There's no easy answers, only living in reality.

In episode 2 we take an overview look at the Pentateuch: the first five books of the Bible.

In real life, faith isn't built in a moment, but lived out over a life time.

In episode 60 we continue the story of the fall of Saul and the rise of David. The key factor in each man's story is where they stood in relation to God.

Its a new Faith on Hill Podcast! This podcast is designed to give a Starting Point to studying the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

Do you think the church has problems? Jesus does too, but he also thinks the church was worth dying for and with fighting for. We talk about it this morning as we finish the 13th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew.
