Jordan went to Annual Conference this week and ran into a LOT of people who think of justice as something other than she does. So, she asks us, "how do we all pursue righteousness together?" She starts with the most important part: that we remember that God is God, and we are not. fmhouston.com

A reader sends in a Twitter link about a possible mistranslation of a Scripture passage, and it leads to some combatitiveness over different Biblical translations, trying to read multiple* Biblical translations, and a surprising argument over whether we should be bothering to read the Old Testament at all. * https://twitter.com/lllogannnnn/status/1520393475790979072 , though it looks like the user...

Blessed: “Poor in Spirit” - Ken Coneby 10.05.2022 22:29

We have to stop allowing our worldly perspective to reflect on our perfect creator. Mother’s Day can be painful. And Ken knows that women have often not had a proper place in society, especially in Biblical times, when they looked at as less than men. But God describes himself as a mother hen, protecting her brood under her wing. A new kingdom is being built. And Christ is giving us a new perspect...

And let people gasp before they call it a thing of wonder.” -Lanecia Rouse Tinsley fmhouston.com thesourcehouston.org

Easter Message: “A Burden We Don’t Have To Carry” – Ken Coneby 20.04.2022 26:29

“Fixing all this is not on us.” John said the Word was made flesh. That was blasphemy to some people. But the Word being made flesh is what makes Easter the miracle that it is. If we release the sin the holds us down to the savior that took it, we don’t have to carry it any more. That’s Easter. That’s the gospel. Fixing all this is not on us. We breathe. We release. And we follow. John 20:1-18 fmh...

You Can Hear Us In The Streets: Season 1 | Ep16: "Why Don't We Say 'He Descended Into Hell' In The Apostles' Creed Anymore, or, Life In A Flaming Garbage Dump" 13.04.2022 33:30

The phrase "He descended into hell" was removed from the Apostles' Creed a long time ago, and a listener wants to know the reason why.
