In a world where sex outside of marriage was expected for all men, the early Christian ethic of sex only between a husband and a wife was counter-cultural. The early disciples also saw sexuality as an equal gift and responsibility to both husbands and wives. The needs of women were never taken into consideration like this before. Early disciples saw sex, not just as a physical activity, but a spir...

Everyone is willing to do for those who can do for them. But what set Christians apart from the very beginning, was their care for those who could not care for themselves. Building on the foundation laid in the Old Testament, the early Christians took seriously the call to take care of the poor and the marginalized and alien in their midst. And we are called to do the same.

In a world where children were literally thrown out with the trash and left to die or to be picked up and sold to slave traders or sex traffickers, it was the early Christians who would take in those kids to raise them as their own. Knowing that all humans were made in God's image meant that all life was worth saving.

Slave and master, rich and poor, Jew and Gentile, and men and women, were all invited to be a part of the kingdom of God. The multi-racial, multi-ethnic, and economic diversity in the church was unmatched in its day. Everyone was welcome. Since all people are made in the image of God, all people are invited to be a part of the body of Christ.

Welcome to the Becoming Better Podcast. On this weeks episode Jason, Ken, and Nate sit down and talk through Joshes Message on Forgiveness. We dive in a little deeper on what that looks like for us as followers of Jesus. We hope you enjoy this conversation.

As Christians, we often read and hear that we should forgive one another, but is there a limit to the amount of forgiveness that we should give? At what point is it okay to stop forgiving someone? The answer to these questions is a matter of life and death.

There was an end to Job's suffering. And the scripture says he was more blessed in the latter part of his life than before. Does that mean we, too, will experience greater earthly blessings after our suffering? No. But for those who remain faithful to Jesus, we are promised that our suffering will end one day. And we, too, will be richly blessed beyond measure. What Job got in this life…we are pro...

Welcome to the Becoming Better Podcast. We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Many people will say, “I can’t wait to ask God why he ____________.” There is an expectation that God owes them an explanation. Job gets the opportunity so many people dream off…and it doesn’t go like he envisioned. When confronted about Job's suffering…God offers no explanation except: I am God.

A few weeks ago we learned what not to say from Job's three friends. Today a new voice jumps in, a young man named Elihu. He offers a different perspective of what to say to a person who has suffered greatly. Sometimes, in addition to encouragement and lament, there are hard things that need to be said in love and truth.

We hope that you enjoy this episode. If you haven't yet listened to the last two sermons, we encourage you to listen to them as they will help make this conversation more sense.

The only thing worse than bad things happening to good people is when good things happen to bad people. Does it ever feel like the wicked are never punished? Like everything works out in their favor? Job made the same observation. Does that mean it’s better to be bad?

As Job continues to sit in his suffering, he understands one thing for sure: God is all powerful. There is no doubt in Job's mind that God is above him and can do anything he pleases and no one can stop him. However, there is one issue that Job seems to struggle with: Is God good? Does He care for the people He created? Does He listen to their cries? Is He willing to respond to their hurts? The an...
