Faith On Hill

We've done 80 episodes! How the time flies... In this episode, the traitor Absalom gets some good and advice and some bad advice but which one will he choose? Meanwhile, King David makes plans to take back his throne.

The story has been dark. Evil is on the rise. The destruction has been catastrophic. But it is always darkest before the dawn... This week, we see the light appear and Jesus begins to turn the tide.

A rebellion is afoot and a coup is underway. The King's son is making a move for the throne and the King's faith and trust in God is directly tested.

Happy Mothers Day! Ok, so Mother's Day might seem like an odd day to talk about the Mark of the Beast... maybe there's a bad mother-in-law joke there somewhere? The main point of this chapter isn't about the Mark of the Beast or what 666 means. Rather, its about what happens when you reject the true power of God and look for a replacement.

Happy Mother's Day from Faith on Hill!

Starting Points is a Faith on Hill podcast. Each episode looks at a major section or book of the Bible as a starting point for our study of God's word. This week we look at the story of Esther, an amazing story of faith and biblical feminism. It's also a controversial story with questions and controversies both historical and theological.

The Jews are the chosen people of God. From Abraham on, God promised that he would make the Children of Israel his people, and God does not go back on his promises. Yet many Christians believe that God is done with Israel as his people and the promises have been transferred to the church. But is that what the Bible teaches? If God is not done with the Jewish people, then what does that mean for th...

In this episode we talk about which order should the books of the Bible be read? Don't I just start at the beginning? Why do some books of the Bible get read more than others?

God does not make you believe, but he does provide witnesses to the truth. This week in Revelation, John receives the witness of the word of God (the Bible), the city of Jerusalem receives the witness of two powerful, mysterious people, and the world receives the witness of God's restoring work.

Trigger Warning: This episode deals with the after effects of rape, abuse and violence in a very dysfunctional family. While nothing graphic is discussed, the subject matter is still something that each person will process differently. Listen or skip at your own discretion. In Episode 78 we talk about the after effects of Amnon's wicked actions, Absalom's violent vengeance, and David's passive par...

The book of Nehemiah is the book of Ezra pt. II. In this episode we talk about why the book was split off into its own thing, what story it tells, and as always: where is Jesus in the story.

The 8th and 9th chapters of the Book of the Revelation are full of symbols, but there's also an unusual event: total silence. This week Pastor Adam talks about how we should approach the symbolism in Revelation and why "boring" things in our daily life are so important to the prophecies in this book.

In Episode 6 we talk with Andrew Hirschman. He is a pastor in Seattle who has preached at our church before. We talk about music, people who leave the church and how we live in a complex world that people pretend is simple.

In chapters 6 and 7 we see a direct contrast as judgement begins on the Earth between the people who have repented and those who continue to defy God.

Happy Easter! In Revelation chapter 5 we see the results of Jesus' victory over sin and death. Jesus acts on the victory that Easter accomplished!

On the final day of Holy Week, we pause and remember that Jesus was still active even while in the grave.

This Good Friday we gather at 7pm to remember and proclaim the death of Jesus of Nazareth

The Thursday of Holy Week was a day of service, communion, loneliness, betrayal and healing. Today we remember our Lord Jesus.

On the Wednesday of Holy Week our Lord paused. Pastor Adam talks about what that means and what that might of looked like. He also has some words to encourage people who struggle with anxiety and fear.

On the third day of Holy Week, Jesus taught his disciples, and dd a lot of walking

On the second day of Holy Week Jesus cleared out the temple.

Today is the start of Holy Week as we remember and proclaim Jesus's journey towards his death, resurrection and victory over sin & death! On Palm Sunday Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem, openly declaring himself to be the Messiah.

This week things start to get weird, but if the main focus is Jesus then we have nothing to fear. In Revelation 4 Pastor Adam talks about mysterious elders, weird creatures and what the Holy Spirit does in people's lives.

Trigger Warning: 2nd Samuel 13 deals with some very adult themes including abuse, rape, and incest. It is one of the darkest stories in the Bible. If this is a trigger for you, feel free to skip this episode. If you do listen, this is R-rated material and while we try to keep things PG, this is definitely not a kids safe episode.

Today we will be talking about something that no one has disagreed about anywhere, at any time, ever: The Rapture of the Church. #Sarcasm Can Christians agree to disagree? What does the Bible actually say? Wasn't the rapture just invented by "Big End Times" to sell books?
