SIDERIS PODCAST

Psalm 75 | What I love about summer is that it pushes me out of my usual patterns which provides the opportunities I often need to encounter God in new thoughts and ways ~ It's my prayer that as you are out and about that you search for and allow God the opportunities to speak and reveal himself. What's a small way you can bring consideration of Him and His Son Jesus into your backpacking trip? Va...

Psalm 41 VS. Beatitudes: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” (Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬) Link to Katherine Wolf’s video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CupcpyHN2ao/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== In this Sunday's Pslam, we will witness an oft-proud and strong warrior brought to his knees by sickness, pain, and the whispers of his enemies. I've found in my own life that in my greatest moments...

Psalm 17 | The wine He gave Jesus... Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds... Our Enchanted World... Prelude to the Lord's prayer... Three pleas... God as the bartender... What's drinking me?... God's presence is the 'squeeze'... Where is your portion?... Panic as praise & more.

Psalm 8 | Join us as we dive into this poetic hymn that celebrates the majesty of God's creation and the honor bestowed upon humankind as the pinnacle of that creation.

John 6:22-59 -- Is Jesus trying to get people to stop following him?

John 6:16-21 | Modest Mouse, Floating the Nooksack River, Recovering the What?!, Onboarding Jesus, Rowing Made Easier, and more.

John 6:1-15 | Dave makes the case that we would never have known the name Napoleon Bonaparte if France (and the world) had taken the revelation and message of this passage to heart.

John 5:31-47 | We continue to unpack the trial of Jesus' divinity where he will call witnesses to the stand and provide his closing argument. When he's done the question to us (the jury) is what is your decision? Is he the son of God? How good of a case do you think he made?

John 5:18-30 | This Sunday we will have a chance to hear from Jesus Himself in an extended monologue recorded for us by John. Jesus was defending himself against the allegations of the authorities, while simultaneously declaring himself to be cleared at the highest levels of authorization. For you Amazon employees, Jesus definitely has a silver badge (or whatever color is highest these days)…for J...

John 5:1-18 -- Did Jesus real just do this?

John 4:43-54 | This Sunday we will re-enter the world of John and see how John records the beginning of Jesus' healing ministry. There is a strange element to this particular healing story. Can you see how it is different from other healing miracles?

Mark 8:11 - 9:1 | What does it mean to follow Jesus? Often, it's unclear to outsiders looking in because it's unclear to the insiders! Here in Mark chapter 8 we see Jesus make it clear to his disciples, how might this enhance what we think it means to follow Christ?

John 4:27- 42 | This Sunday we get to look at the conclusion of the story of the Samaritan woman at the well. Whereas last week we got to talk about 'thirst', this week we get to talk about hunger. How are they related? How are they different?

John 4:1- 42 | As your soul’s thirst is quenched by this weekend’s sunshine, take a moment to consider what it would be like if the clouds never came back. Now… those of you from Colorado, fight the urge to just answer home… for it’s the unique combination of “thirst-quenching” that the Seattleites feel on a day like today that makes it magical… so imagine if that same Seattleite thirst was always...

John 3:22-30 | In this week's passage we return to John the Baptist as his ministry winds to an end and he decreases so that Jesus can increase. Some confused about Christianity have asked a fair question: "Why does Jesus need all the attention? Is He an egomaniac?"

Acts 1:1-11 | No other religious leader has risen from the dead and, 40 or so days after Jesus Christ rose, He did something else no other religious leader has done - He left! Why? How? To Where? Luke's account in the opening verses of the book of Acts sheds light on why Jesus had to leave and how his vision for his movement would impact every single one of his followers, even to this day.

He is risen - He is risen INDEED! ... The year is 2023.

John 12:12-15 | This Palm Sunday, we explore the powerful story of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Together we consider the significance of the word "Hosanna," looking into a deeper understanding of the praises offered by the crowds and the true nature of Jesus' mission and ask the question of how we as believers today should respond in worship towards our servant-king Jesus.

John 3:16-21 | The words of John the evangelist here in John 3:16 are some of the most popular in Western society and in many parts of the world. But do we really understand their central force? Once we do grasp what John is actually telling us he believes, how does he hope we will respond? The answer may surprise you!

John 3:16-21 | This day and week are always bittersweet for me personally as it marks both the day that I lost my sister and the day that God spoke to me in a new and unexpected way. It was on this day in 2007 that got delivered Kim’s message to ask her friends to “Consider Jesus”. It just so happens, but probably not just so, that this week's passage is a classic. What does it really mean that Go...

John 3:1-15 | This Sunday we will look at one of the most famous conversations that have ever taken place under the sun. And though it will disappoint you if you select this passage of Scripture at the 14 Principles Trivia night in connection with Principle 8 (“Kiss Cocktail Conversations Goodbye”), you would certainly be right in the fact that this conversation was anything but ordinary.

John 2:12-22 | And as we will see from this passage, the worship of the one true Lord should never be taken for granted or lightly. If you read this passage on your own you might be asking the question of where is the fun wedding Jesus went to? But what we will uncover is that - as good as the wine-flowing wedding Jesus is... the Jesus we see in the temple courts brings even more joy when rightly...

John 2:1-11 | After a confusing back and forth with his mother at a wedding, Jesus performs the first sign of his ministry unbeknownst to the wedding guests. Why did he do it? What did it inspire in his disciples? How does it relate to us anyways?

John 1:35-51 | This Sunday, we transition the focal point from John the baptizer's ministry to Jesus' ministry. In this passage, Jesus calls his first disciples.

John 1:29-34 | As for our consideration this Sunday, we spend the second week looking at John the Baptist and the incredible revelation God gave to him after he prepared the people (see last week).
