Wake Before the Day

Jesus shattered cultural boundaries to reveal the heart of God but why did Jesus next allow the demons go into pigs?

Jesus revolutionized the "golden rule"! He also teaches on the danger of a critical spirit and the beauty of a fruitful life.

Did you know that science has proven what we look at can change the composition of our brains? Jesus knows that it not only affects our brains but our hearts as well! We'll also discuss worry because you know we're all worried about something right now!

Matthew 5 retells the story of Jesus's first large public teaching. In this podcast we'll briefly unpack what it means to be "blessed". You could call Jesus's teaching an "upside down kingdom" because much of what he says is counterintuitive and opposite of what the world says! He looks through our behavior to our heart and motivation.

This episode discusses the God given weapon to fend off evil and how God often calls his people in the midst of daily life. Are you listening?

The baptism of Jesus teaches us many things. Because of Jesus, believers have access to the Father in heaven. Heaven has literally been opened to us. The same Spirit that empowered Jesus lives within those who believe. And just as the Father delighted in the Son so the heavenly Father delights in his children. This is a life changing message!

Join Klarc and Bobbie as they unpack Matthew 2. The discussion revolves around the coming of the magi, the significance of Bethlehem and addressing a question you might have asked, does God speak through dreams today?

Let's discuss why genealogies matter and get a look behind the scenes at Mary and Joseph's near divorce and eventual marriage!

Revelation concludes giving us hope for our future life, a sense of empowerment to live for Jesus today and a warning not to change or take God's word out of context. 

God desires to be with you! From Eden, to the the Temple, then Jesus himself and now the Spirit in the believer's heart, God is with us.

Celebrate the final judgement of Satan and evil. The scriptures are also fulfilled and humanity reigns, rules and judges with God and under the authority of God. What God intended in Eden is now complete in the final judgment. 

The final judgment is going to be a site to see and definitely something to be revered as well as celebrated! We're reminded that Jesus' victory should bring up nothing short of our best praise and worship. We also wonder what our "new names" will be? Join us as we unpack an exciting chapter!

How do we avoid the worldly entrapment of comfort, wealth and consumption? Feasting and fasting with the Lord.

Revelation 17 uses "Babylon" to describe the immoral and idolatrous ways of the world. Babylon still exists today. The questions we must ask ourselves are what seductive pleasures and idolatry tempt us today? What's our plan to sift through the spiritual confusion of our day and age?

Final judgments and songs of victory! Remember, the worship of God brings clarity in an age of confusion!

The standard for life and salvation is simply whether or not one believes in Jesus Christ. Join us as we identify "who is who" in this story and what the implications are for us today.

Humanity forfeited the keys to rule over the earth in Genesis 3. Although already defeated, Satan still seeks God's power and wants to harm God's people. This is a reminder to renew your mind with God's word and stand firm in the victory of Jesus on the cross.

Revelation 12 is wild ride talking about a pregnant woman being hunted by a dragon and a war in heaven! Join us as we discuss the interaction between the natural world and the supernatural world. We'll also discuss how the church is to live in the reality of Jesus' victory which is now ours too!

The Spirit empowers the believer to share Jesus even to death. What kind of witness are you willing to be?

God's word has more power and authority that all of our words combined! If we want to truly speak blessing we need to pass on God's word. In order to pass on His word, we need to have God's word inside us. We can't give what we ain't got! Join us as we unpack Revelation 10.

Believers are called to endure because God is holding back his judgment. He wants more people to believe! Who can we share Jesus with today?

Are you eager for the judgment or afraid of it? The chapter ends offering hope and a promise for the believer's future!

As we experience the grace of God we will simultaneously become more aware of the brokenness of the world. God calls his people to endure, to trust in his timing and to hold back from an attempt at self-salvation.

In Revelation 5 we discuss this "New Song" that's being sung. This chapter lifts the gift and joy that comes with our praise and worship of God. A few questions we ought to wrestle with in reading this chapter are: - Why is it necessary to praise God? - How often does praise and worship flow from us?

Anytime a human encounters God or an angelic being the first words out are "don't be afraid". God is all-powerful and everywhere. How often do we think about him?
