PETER PROCLAIMS JESUS (Chris Burke) Acts 2 and Acts 10 point to Peter's boldness of taking the Good News of the resurrection of Jesus Christ to both Jews and Gentiles, breaking extreme ethnic barriers. Recorded February 2018. 

PETER DENIES JESUS (Daniel Montgomery) Peter was the “boldest” of Christ’s disciples, yet sometimes he was sheepish and experienced deep shame. Jesus addresses Peter’s shame, and calls him to serve in spite of what he had done. Recorded February 2018. 

PETER UNDERSTANDS JESUS (Sam Reader)In Mark 8:27-33 Peter confesses that he believes Jesus is "the Christ", but he misinterprets what Jesus came to accomplish. Jesus tells Peter he is setting his mind on "things of man", not the "things of God",  Recorded January 2018. 

PETER TRUSTS JESUS (Matt Reagan) In Matthew 14:22-33 we see the scene of Peter taking a great step of faith, but then failing. Jesus desires to understand Peter in his fear, which is doubt. Recorded January 2018. 

Psalm 107 (Mason Bramer, Chris Burke, Sam Reader) 1 Thessalonians 5:18 commands believers in Christ to give thanks to God in all circumstances. Yet, both our dispositions and our situations can often lead us away from practicing thanksgiving. In Psalm 107, the writer recounts four stories of redemption, thanks the Lord for His deliverance, and reminds the reader of God’s sovereign love for the hum...

Psalm 51 (Mason Bramer, Chris Burke, Sam Reader) In 2 Samuel 11-12, King David commits a pile of atrocious sins (adultery, murder, etc.). After being confronted by Nathan, David turns from his entitled and malicious sin-spiral to broken and contrite repentance. Psalm 51 is David’s prayer penitence, and serves well as a model for all who experience the guilt of shame, and seek to be forgiven and re...

Psalm 42 (Mason Bramer, Chris Burke, Sam Reader) In this Psalm, we find a writer who pours out his soul, which is overwhelmed with sorrow and grief, to the Lord. Yet, this is not passive complaining. The Psalmist takes his heart in hand, and begins the hard and necessary work of putting his hope in God. In Psalm 42 we can learn how God enters into our sadness and strife, and how we can interact wi...

Psalm 23 (Mason Bramer, Chris Burke, Sam Reader)  In this Psalm, we find David, amidst unnerving and threatening circumstances, in a state of unshakeable serenity. In his prayer, David employs two metaphors to help us understand and rest in who the Lord is: God as Shepherd and God as Host. In a time of frenetic news cycles, the disruption of regularity, and the unveiled reality of our empty i...

Psalm 1 (Mason Bramer, Chris Burke, Sam Reader) The first chapter of the Book of Psalms stands as a gatekeeper to the rest of what Dietrich Bonhoeffer called the “prayer-book of the Bible,” where we are able to learn 1) Who God is 2) Who we are 3) How to interact with him in relationship. The writer of Psalm 1 quickly cuts to the chase, declaring that every man will walk one of two paths. The firs...

Philippians 4:10-13 (Tim Hester) “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me” might be the most misused verse in the Bible. We’ll look at the context behind what Paul is writing and see what the Lord actually wants us to learn from it, which is the secret to true contentment. Recorded in November 2018. 

Philippians 1:12-21 (Ronnie Cordrey) Paul is writing from prison to his friends in a city where he was beaten publicly, yet he still has the robust confidence to rejoice. This passage reveals the priorities and heart of Paul: he can suffer with hope because it’s God’s agenda that shapes his perspective, not his current circumstances. Recorded in November 2018. 

Philippians 3:1-11 (Ben Cross) In Paul’s old social sphere, he had it all: power, influence, and notoriety. He was gifted, diligent, and downright impressive. Yet, after encountering Christ, Paul counted all these gains “as loss for the sake of Christ.” We look to this text to discover what that means, and why it’s worth imitating.  Recorded in October 2018.

Philippians 2:3-11 (Chris Burke) The majority of this section of Paul’s letter was actually a song or poem of sorts that encouraged unity among the Philippians by detailing the humility of Christ. It is in Christ’s humility that we see why Christianity is different from any other religion or lifestyle in the world. Recorded in October 2018.

Philippians 4:4-9 (Mason Bramer) Internal conflict in the church at Philippi and external anxieties are both bringing them dismay. Paul addresses the difficult circumstances in Philippi by exhorting, “Rejoice in God always! I’ll say it again—rejoice!” These verses show us how to obtain the peace of God. Recorded in October 2018.
