This week Steve shares one of his staple messages, and it continues to challenge us. Are we living in a city of unbelief? Have we become our own city of unbelief?

As we continue our look into the book of Ephesians, we take a deeper look at the balance of grace and works. When we try to live in only one of those camps, our lives become unbalanced.

This week we begin our journey through the letter to the Ephesians. Steve shares the truth about Jesus plan, and how it's always been on his mind. So what's his plan for you? Are we all included, or do we have to qualify?   Paul writes an encouraging letter that's overflowing with truth. Who are we in Christ? Who is Jesus to us? Do we have a choice in the matter, or has it always been set in stone...

Often we get caught up thinking that the life Jesus died for us to have is all about us. When in reality, He died so we could live for Him.   Do you find yourself wishing there was more? Does your Christianity dry up easily? In this episode of the Uncommon Truth, Steve and Vicki dive into the topic of being raised up to new, abundant life with Jesus. However, there's one condition; we must first b...

This week we're diving into the passage that comes after Jesus' letters to the churches. We get challenged to broaden our view of who God really is, and He's not quite what you might expect.   Join us as we're drawn into a description of resurrected Jesus, his throne room, and the scene that takes place before Him. Are we willing to trust God's character when we can't fully understand who he reall...

Steve and Vicki are away on vacation, so we decided to bring back one of our favorite episodes from season 3. We'll be back with a new episode soon, but we hope you enjoy! We chose this episode because it's all about our response to Jesus. One of the major themes of Revelation has been how we choose to respond to the revelation of Jesus Christ.     Connect with the show: Email  uncommontruthpodcas...

This week we're reading Jesus' last letter in Revelations. This time around he's not too happy with his people and has some hard words to swallow.  If the church in Laodicea won't burn for him as they once did, he'll spit them out of his mouth!   Has your christianity gone cold? Has it become mundane or stale? It's time to remember what Jesus has done for you, and rekindle your flame. Luke and Ste...

Luke and Steve dive into Jesus' letter to the church in Philadelphia. This time around it's a letter we're all happy to read. It's full of encouragement, and crazy promises from Jesus!   Jesus is proud of the little bit of strength this church had, and promised to open a door no one could close. Being faithful with what we have in the moment; faithful with today, opens a door of intimacy and conne...

In his letter to the church in Sardis, Jesus urges the christians to wake up. They had a great start, but slowly let their light die out. If they don't burn again, He'll remove their names from the book of life!   Have you fallen asleep? Has your christianity become dull or mundane? Today is the day to wake up. Return to your first love and do the things you did at first. Burn for Jesus once more!...

This week on the Uncommon Truth we're studying Jesus' letter to the church in Thyatira. Most of our conversation looks at the spirit of Jezebel; it's still alive and active today.    Jesus gives a stern warning to turn away from the teachings of Jezebel. She taught that there were many gods. While we might feel disconnected from the worship of statues, there are many areas where we choose to trust...

This week we're looking at Jesus' letter to the church in Pergamum. He's proud of the faith that remains despite their circumstances, but that up with some difficult words. If they don't do away with the false gospels among them, he'll make war against them.   It can be easy to relax in our christianity and begin thinking we've got it. However in every one of Jesus' letters to the churches he has...

This week's passage is the second letter from Jesus in Revelation. He holds nothing against this church, but at first glance the letter seems fairly grim. Jesus presents the Church in Smyrna with an interesting path to follow. They've remained faithful during the storms, but a bigger storm is on the horizon. He calls them to trust in him for a short while longer, and their reward will be the crown...

This week we're beginning our journey through Jesus' letters to the churches in Revelation. Jesus told John to write to the church in Ephesus and commend them for their good deeds and firm foundation on the truth. Then he tells them to repent and return to their first love, or their lampstand will be removed from its place. How can we build a life reliant on Jesus, being fully surrendered, while s...

This week we're looking at the command of Christ. We can get distracted trying to live by all the rules and traditions we were raised with, while forgetting what Jesus really said. His one command was this: Love as I have loved you. Steve and Vicki dive into what it really looks like to love as they have been loved by Christ. To what extent should we give of ourselves? And what do we do when peopl...
