Word and Testimony

God’s story in the Bible is one of covenant and keeping covenant. What is covenant and how do we walk with God… this is our start toward answers for those questions.

Exploring the ideas of being a priesthood and living in covenant relationship with God in and through Jesus Christ (the great High Priest).

The Bible is a massive narrative about God, given to us by God, to help us know God.

Christian conviction about the Bible admits that it is inspired. As we explore that idea, we run into ideas about inerrancy and infallibility that matter for us as we read the Bible.

The Bible is a religious set of texts, composed of at least 66 texts. Central to the Bible is a narrative about God and his work, creation, and redemption that has Jesus Christ at the center of its focus.

What is the Bible, how do we read it? What does it mean to meditate on Holy Scripture? Scripture is unique and powerful; but, we have to read it and do so consistently and with intentionality to mine the depths of the Bible.

Looking at 1 John 4:7-21 and considering what love is in the sense of agape love from the Bible.

Brief look at the weight and problem with sin.

Questions around Matthew 8, Mark 1, 3, and 5.

Taking a look at the story of Genesis 3 for what is happening deeper than just the surface story we are used to hearing.

The connection of Genesis 1-2 help us see and understand the creation and the God who created.

Looking at creation as a temple.

Sermon from Esther at Faith Community Church.

Lessons from the life of Joseph about following Jesus and being a good father. Was intended to be an abbreviated version of my Father’s Day sermon at Faith Community Church, but ended up about the same length.

Just thinking about how Christians look at the Bible and what that means for how we read the Bible.

The matter of the days of Genesis 1 can be a tense issue today. We explore the understandings of those days in this episode.

Exodus 32; Genesis 18 & 22. God puts his mediators to the same test.

The days of Genesis 1:3-31 find a deeply rhythmic pattern and repetition. What that means for how we understand the days and the order of creation is a matter of interpretation and plenty of thought.

Deep dive in Genesis 1:1-2. We consider if these two verses are part of the sequence of days in Genesis 1:3-2:3, how they fit into the overall narrative of Genesis’ 7 days account of creation.

Taking a look at starting our full series in Genesis with some basics and building blocks for what we will encounter.

My girls have been asking profound questions about God and it has sparked some really cool conversations around God and faith in our home.

Christ has won, but we walk awaiting that culminated reality. So, Paul instructs us about how we do that as Christians committed to the body and the Lord.

We are called to submit to Christ and one another. In Ephesians 5:22-6:9, Paul explains how that looks with specific case studies and examples.

The content of our character should be like Christ as individuals who belong to a community of believers.  My life needs to be lived like light and wisdom because I am submitted to my Lord Jesus Christ and my family of faith.  When one of us is not walking in the light the shadow is cast on all of us.

Called to walk in a manner worthy of our calling in Christ Jesus means walking in the conduct of our character and the community of faith in a way that looks, lives, and loves like Christ Jesus our Lord.
