Yet even in her darkest hour, God is quietly at work, preparing the way for redemption through the loyalty of Ruth. In this episode, we e...

Send us Fan Mail Overview: The book of Ruth is more than a love story set in the days of the Judges.  At one level, the story is about Ruth, a Moabite widow who chose to follow her mother-in-law Naomi back to Bethlehem. She was a stranger, an outsider, under the condemnation of the Law — for Deuteronomy tells us that no Moabite could enter the assembly of the Lord. And yet Ruth was redeemed by a n...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back, friends. Today, we’re wrapping up our series on 1 Corinthians with what I’m calling “A Book Review.”   If there’s any church in the New Testament that feels like it could be dropped right into the modern world, it’s the church at Corinth. Because of the issues they were facing then? They’re the very same issues the church faces today.   Leadership Lessons From The Gr...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Notes: Churches are messy. Families are messy. Life is messy.  And when you’re in the middle of it, the temptation is to grow sharp, critical, or even walk away. But Paul’s closing words to the Corinthians give us something better: five short commands that can anchor us in the middle of chaos. In this episode, we’ll explore how to: Stay spiritually alert and grounded in tr...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome: When Paul begins to closes his letter to the Corinthians, he includes what looks like a simple travel log — where he plans to go, who he plans to send, and how long he’ll stay. At first glance, it feels ordinary. But hidden in those details is a surprisingly practical lesson on how Christians should make decisions. In this episode, we’ll explore: Why Paul sometimes based...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Notes: In this episode, we step into the final chapter of 1 Corinthians, where Paul turns to a very practical subject: M oney . If that makes you a little uncomfortable — you’re not alone! But Paul shows us that how we handle money is deeply connected to our discipleship. In just four verses, he lays out a Spirit-inspired pattern for giving that still speaks powerfully tod...

Send us Fan Mail It began with a doubt in the Corinthian church — is there really a resurrection of the dead? That doubt spread into denial, and eventually divided the believers. So, they turned to Paul, and his sweeping answer in 1 Corinthians 15 leaves no room for uncertainty: Christ is risen — and because He lives, all who belong to Him will also rise. Our perishable bodies cannot inherit etern...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Notes: When we talk about proving the resurrection, we usually reach for the familiar arguments — the authority of Scripture, the empty tomb, the eyewitnesses. Those are strong, solid, and true. But in 1 Corinthians 15, Paul takes an unexpected path. In this message, we explore three of Paul’s strange but powerful arguments for the resurrection — ones you won’t often hear...

Send us Fan Mail The Reality of Our Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:20–28) Death comes to us all — one out of one. And yet, Scripture declares that death is not the end. In this message, we turn to 1 Corinthians 15:20–28, where Paul shows us that Christ’s resurrection is both the guarantee of our resurrection and the promise of His final victory over every enemy, including death itself. In this epi...

Send us Fan Mail What is the heart of Christianity?  Church buildings? Sunday gatherings? Traditions? As important as they are, the early church thrived without them. The true heartbeat of our faith is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without it, Paul says, Christianity collapses. Preaching is empty, faith is futile, sins remain unforgiven, and hope is lost. In short, no resurrection, no Christia...

Send us Fan Mail What if you saw a headline that read: "Man Returns from Dead, Witnessed by Hundreds" ? Most of us would scroll past with a smirk—but what if it was true? In this episode, we explore Paul’s eyewitness account of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, not as a myth or metaphor, but as the concrete, historical act of God that changed everything—past, present, and future.
