SIDERIS PODCAST

Every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears that you put into a relationship here on this earth is ALWAYS WORTH IT, PERIOD. There will be no regret in investing in people. Though not all people will be with us in Heaven, it does not make the time spent loving them, living life with them, or sacrificing for them a mistake. Just like Jesus death for all humanity on the cross was not a mistake, even thoug...

So with a proper perspective on Heaven — that it is not just some distant far off future thing, but that it begins now — let us work toward a lived Theology of Proximity. ASK yourself… ASK a friend… Why has God put you here in this place? In this city? On your street? In your apartment? What foretaste of Heaven can you bring to your current proximity, as we await Jesus bringing the fullness of Hea...

Heaven will come in three distinct WHENS: (1) LIFE NOW = Full embodiment/physicality, but only the partial presence of the triune GOD thru the presence of the Holy Spirit... so it is right to hope and cry out for more of Heaven to come; (2) LIFE AFTER DEATH = Full presence of the triune GOD, but only partial embodiment/physicality... so it is right to hope and cry out for more of Heaven to come; (...

So many people — maybe you are one — NEVER want to think about Heaven, probably because they’ve been taught the wrong answers to “WHAT” Heaven will be like. David Lloyd George former Prime Minister of the UK once said "When I was a boy, the thought of Heaven used to frighten me more than the thought of Hell. I pictured Heaven as a place where time would be perpetual Sundays, with the perpetual ser...

Heaven had to be a part of God's plan because he needed a new creation with the proper environment for Himself to dwell with His redeemed creation. The New Creation – "Heaven" – is not a place without choice, desire, or worship; BUT a place with the fullest and freest choice, desire, and worship... Those in Heaven have not lost the capacity to choose wrongly or the capacity to desire wrongly or th...

Current Heaven is God's home. Current Earth is our home. Jesus Christ, as the God-man, forever links God and mankind, and thereby forever links heaven and earth. This idea of heaven and earth becoming one new creation is explicitly biblical. Christ will make Earth into Heaven and Heaven into earth.

What did Jesus spend his last days doing? It tells us a lot about what he valued most. Last week we saw that Jesus “serving others" up to the very end. In fact, on his way to accomplish the most important task in the history of the universe, he stopped to serve a blind beggar named Bartimaeus. Jesus served by GIVING of himself to others… But we see Jesus doing something else in these last days: we...

In the last few days of Jesus pre-crucifixion ministry, he asks "What do you want me to do for you?”... Unfortunately the recording was damaged so this is a partial recording. Our apologies.

"Every culture, every nation, every human being, know something about marriage... Which makes it the greatest of connecting points to show what the gospel looks like in action. You'd almost think God deigned it."

What is the vision God has for our church? What is the theological vision God has for every follower of Christ?

Why do we gather as a community? Is it to receive or to offer? Who is the audience?

"But that is not the way you learned Christ!— assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness."

Many of us keep God away, because we are confused about what he is like and what he brings with him when he arrives in our lives. At Christmas time we celebrate that God has clarified who he is because he put on flesh, that we might understand God in a language we can understand, the language of our own humanity. With God clarified in the person of Jesus, perhaps now we can decide to let him into...

The origin of joy - Seeing how God has already fulfilled certain longings of my heart, wedded together with a real trust that God will fulfill the remaining desires at some future moment.

What is the HOPE we anticipate this time of year?

The world has only ever heard of two ways to receive salvation: (1) WORKS and (2) GRACE. The Bible tells us we are saved by the grace of God through faith. The "works" have already been accomplished. Jesus Christ (God in flesh) died on the cross. Through faith we receive salvation. But to fully understand our salvation, we must first understand what we are saved from?

Why is it so hard to remember to thank God?

How is God present in the world today?

Why would he send His son?
