58. The Open Table 14.08.2023

57. Remembrance at the Lord's Table 06.07.2023

In this episode, we talk about the phrase "do this in remembrance of me" and talk about exactly what kind of things we are to remember when taking the Lord's Supper. Music: "Kid Kodi" Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

56. Ministry to the Outcast at the Lords Table 19.05.2023

In Luke's gospel, Jesus is constantly interacting with those the text refers to as "tax collectors and sinners". Many of those times, Jesus is seated at a table, eating with them. In this episode, Spencer and Jack look at the institution of the Lords Supper in Luke's gospel narrative and connect the theme of Jesus eating with sinners to Jesus' eating with Judas. Music: "...

55. Service and Greatness at the Lords Table 14.04.2023

Luke's gospel places the discussion between the apostles about "who is the greatest?" right after the Lord's Supper implementation. Why here, and what does this mean for us today? We discuss in this episode. Music: "Kid Kodi" Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

54. Forgiveness and Salvation at the Lord's Table 24.03.2023

In this episode, we discuss the atoning language that accompanies communion, and chase a few theological rabbits while we're at it! Music: "Kid Kodi" Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

53. The Lord's Supper and The Eschatological Banquet 03.03.2023

How does the table we sit around now in our worship compare to the table scene that awaits us in the end? We discuss eschatology and the Lords Supper in this episode. Music: "Kid Kodi" Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

52. The Lord's Supper and Passover 17.02.2023

The Lord's Supper was not a random happenstance meal, but one that was built on the foundation of the Passover meal of Israel. When we understand the importance and significance of the Passover meal, we come to a better understanding of the wine and bread at the table of Jesus. Music: "Kid Kodi" Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

51. Is Church Necessary? 02.02.2023

Do Christians need to attend church buildings or is it alright for people to meet in smaller groups, or through livestream? We discuss how the early church met, why we are even asking the question, and some good reasons to attend and NOT attend congregations.  Music: "Kid Kodi" Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

50. Are Humans Good? 16.12.2022

Are people good or evil? We continue our look at the recent "State of Theology" survey, and discuss what Scripture tells us about people, sin, and human nature.  Music: "Kid Kodi" Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

49. Does God Change? 01.12.2022

Does God change His mind? Some Bible passages point explicitly to "no", while others seem to indicate a change. How can we navigate these seemingly contradictory passages? We discuss on this episode of Thinking Theologically. Music: "Kid Kodi" Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

48. Is Jesus God? 04.11.2022

Is Jesus God? It turns out that a lot of people aren't sure. In this episode, we speak to this confusion and look to various references throughout the Bible to see what answer it holds. Music: "Kid Kodi" Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

47. Undervaluing Sex, Overvaluing Marriage 06.10.2022

On this episode of Thinking Theologically, Spencer and Jack mirror the previous episode by looking at how Christians undervalue the sexual relationship God created, and overvalue the marriage as a result.  Music: "Kid Kodi" Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

46. Overvaluing Sex, Undervaluing Marriage 25.09.2022

On this episode, we discuss sex and marriage from the world's perspective. We talk about both what the world gets wrong and what it gets right about these two subjects. Music:  "Kid Kodi" Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

45. New Creation in Revelation 25.08.2022

How does it all end? We go through the phrases that John uses for new creation in Revelation and see how they connect to the phrases we've seen used throughout the Bible. Music: "Kid Kodi" Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

44. New Creation in the Gospel of John 04.08.2022

What does John's gospel teach us about God's plan for creation? We discuss in this episode.

43. New Creation in Peter - A Study of 2 Peter 3 18.07.2022

On this episode, Spencer and Jack move into the text of 2 Peter 3, a chapter that very much ties together the new creation themes of Genesis, Isaiah, and Paul. Come study this incredible chapter with us and see what God has said about the "new heavens and new earth". Music: "Kid Kodi" Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

42. New Creation in Paul - A Study of 1 Thessalonians 4 02.07.2022

41. New Creation in Paul - A Study of Romans 8 09.06.2022

In this episode, Spencer and Jack discuss a section of Scripture that feels somewhat out of place. We look at the greater context of Romans, the cyclical nature of Paul's language throughout the book, and what exactly he believes will happen to the creation.  Music: "Kid Kodi"  Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

40. New Creation in Paul - A Study of 1 Corinthians 15 26.05.2022

In this episode of the Thinking Theologically podcast, Spencer and Jack discuss Paul's new creation language in 1 Corinthians 15. Lots of discussion about the resurrection of Jesus, our resurrection, and why it's important that Jesus is described as the new Adam.  Music: "Kid Kodi" Blue Dot Sessions www.sessions.blue

39. A Brief Introduction to Pauline Theology 12.05.2022

How did Paul view the world in which he lived? How did this view effect his writings and belief about this life and the one to follow?
