Faith On Hill

The Big Idea in Philippians 2 is that people who follow Jesus are to be servants of all. The Big Problem in Philippians 2 is that emotionally unhealthy people often live out this Big Idea in emotionally unhealthy ways. There has been far too much abuse and toxicity because of people misunderstanding or misusing Bible verses about humility, submission and service. But Jesus set healthy boundaries a...

The book of Jonah is "the one about the whale", but it is really not about the whale at all! The book is about a believer, who is running from God and coming to terms with his own selfishness, bigotry and worldview.

It is really hard to talk about holiness or righteousness without confronting the reality that for many, this conversation has only taken place in abusive, broken or toxic situations. How can we as a church be part of changing that conversation?

Episode 92 doesn't have anything controversial going on. We only talk about things like "can a person lose their salvation". There is nothing controversial there... nope, not at all.

Obadiah is a man of mystery. But this obscure book written by an even more obscure man challenges people today to come to terms with Israel, prophecy and whether or not we believe God's message even when everything around us tells us to walk the other way.

The book of Philippians wasn't written as a book, but as a letter to distant friends. In our first week talking about the church in Philippi we get a general overview of the state of the local church in that city. We also get a feel for the guy who wrote the letter (Paul) and what his connection to that city and that church was.

This week we continue our study of Hebrews with a look at Jesus as our high priest.

Everyone has a goal or reason for doing something. Many people have been around church or the Christian faith for reasons other than Jesus. Today Pastor Adam talks about reasons why people hang around church vs what Jesus' goal is for people.

Sometimes there are things in the part of the Bible we are studying that we don't have time to get to on a Sunday morning. Last Sunday we looked at some Bible verses that some people say depict ancient people interacting with visitors from another planet! But is that actually what the Bible is talking about? Does the Bible say anything about intelligent life on other planets? Is this all just clic...

Imagine you were working your garden and God spoke to you. Not only did you hear the voice of God but he told you to go to another country and preach! That's what happened to a guy named Amos, one of the most significant people in all of human history.

Somethings are clearly taught in the Bible. Somethings might be taught in the Bible. Other things are not in the Bible at all and yet Christians still believe them or follow those practices. How do we know which is which and what do we do if another Christian or a church are doing things or teaching things that either are not in the Bible or dividing over things that only "might" be in the Bible?...

Many people say the Bible has two Gods: the kind, loving God of the New Testament (Jesus) and the angry, vengeful God of the Old Testament (Yahweh/Jehovah). But is that actually what's in the Bible? In 2 King 1, we see the love, grace and mercy of God on full display. Pastor Adam will also talk about how God is the same in both Old and New Testament (Jesus and Yahweh are one and the same) and how...

In this episode we talk about how the writer to the Hebrews calls people to two things: 1. Don't ignore the voice of God speaking into your life 2. Let the word of God do his work in your life through the Spirit of God, God using people in your life and the word of God (the Bible) challenging and changing us #biblestudy #podcast #hebrews4 #oregon #church #faith #faithonhill #bibleteaching #bible

Joel's name means "Yahweh is God" and that was his message to God's people. They had turned to false idols and Joel called them back to the one, true God by reminding them of the pain their sin caused and the coming kingdom of heaven.

God told Hosea to marry a hooker... do I have your attention now? Good. We have a guest speaker at church today so we don't have an online Sunday Service, so instead we are releasing the newest episode of our Starting Points podcast a day early. Outside of the major books of the Bible (the Gospels, Acts, Genesis, etc) Hosea one of the most well-known stories because, yes, God did tell him to marry...

In this episode we talk about the warn between religions in our culture and how the Gospel of Jesus is different. We also discuss how the Kingdom of Heaven is Already and Not Yet at the same time.

After the Gospels and Acts, the book of Daniel might be the most significant book in the Bible. It teaches Christians how to live as exiles in this world. It also speaks directly about Jesus's work on the cross and the coming kingdom of heaven.

Everyone has "ways", rhythms or patterns of life that we live by. Today we are going to talk about how that works in the real world and how God can break up our old ways and lead us down a better path.

Starting Points- Ezekiel by Faith On Hill

God told Elijah to anoint a young man named Elisha to be his successor as the prophet to Israel. What does it mean to pass things on to the next generation? What does it mean for them, what does it mean for those handing off? Faith on Hill is a multi-generational church, what implications does this have for us?

Most religious people understand that, to the irreligious, we make the case that Jesus is better. But message does Christianity bring to the religious person? Moses was the greatest leader the people of Israel ever had, and he brought the religious system that the religious people of Israel lived by. But in chapter 3, the writer of Hebrews makes the case that Jesus is superior to Moses, or any oth...

Jeremiah: prophet by day... poet by night? The book of the Lamentations is a collection of poetic writing describing Jeremiah's feelings and insights into the world around him. But what place does the modern church have for lament and grief? What place do we give to art and expression? We'll talk about it on this episode.

Elijah just had an incredible victory and everything is smooth sailing ahead right? Right? It's all going to ok isn't it? There won't be any other issues that come up?!? This week we look at the contrast in the peaks and valley's of the faith of Elijah

In Hebrews chapter 2, the writer addresses those who would put Jesus on the same level as the angels or who try to elevate the angels higher than they should be. The big message: Jesus is better than the angels.

Jeremiah was a failure. He was the prophet that no one listened too. He was ignored, imprisoned and often in danger. He wept for the fate of people and even tried to quit on the job. But in spite of all this, he was faithful to the work that God had given him, bring messages of hope to the very people who had rejected his earlier messages.
