    2025/02/03

    There is no doubt that there is a natural desire within every Christian, and more specifically every minister, to help others in their times of need. However, how far is too far? Is it ever appropriate for someone to come between a Pastor and his parishioner? Further, what does the Bible say about those that interfere beyond their God-given authority? These are some of the questions that we ponder on this episode.

  • Ep. 94 Cultural Context and Church History
    2025/01/20

    Text Us!

    The study of Church History has been an invaluable tool for the modern church. However, arguments abound as it relates to church history somewhat being the standard that we measure our doctrine by. Further, arguments are made that if a particular issue cannot be proven sufficiently from the records of church history, then the modern church should not hold to such ideologies. In this episode, we contend that the culture in which the early church operated must be taken into consideration before we dismiss certain beliefs that do not abound in the records of church history. We hope you find this helpful!

  • Ep. 93 Carrying Out the Great Commission
    2024/12/09

    Text Us!

    As we discussed in our last episode, the Bible seems clear in its command that believers are to go and make disciples. The next step is exploring how one is to effectively carry out this command. That is precisely what we discuss on this episode.

  • Ep. 92 To Go or Not To Go...
    2024/11/18

    Text Us!

    In Matthew 28:19-20 we are given what has come to be known as "The Great Commission". Is this commission still binding on the church? Are we obligated to fulfill the command that Christ is giving here, or was it merely for the disciples? Further, when Matthew 28:19 says to "go" is it a direct command, or merely a passive statement that we are to make disciples as we go along our way? These are some of the questions that we explore on this episode.

  • Ep. 91 Our Civil Responsibility
    2024/11/04

    Text Us!

    Some have the opinion that because we are of the Kingdom of God, then our allegiance should be to that Kingdom alone. We should have no part in the affairs of earthly government. However, is that what the Bible truly teaches? Does our citizenship of the Kingdom of God negate our responsibility to be good citizens of our nation? Are these concepts at odds one with the other? These are some of the questions we explore on this episode as we continue our discussion on the Kingdom of God.

  • Ep. 90 Already, But Not Yet!
    2024/10/21

    Text Us!

    We continue our series on the Kingdom of God. We have already established that there is a sense in which the Kingdom of God is present in this world today. We see that evidenced through the power of God demonstrated in various forms. However, is there a sense in which the Kingdom will come in a "fuller" expression and realization? If so, do we as the Church help that Kingdom become established in its fullest sense on this earth? What Scriptural evidence seems to point to the establishment of this Kingdom futuristically? These are some of the questions that we ponder on this episode.

  • Ep. 89 The Power of the Kingdom
    2024/10/07

    Text Us!

    Though the Kingdom of God has not been realized in its fullest sense yet, there is an element of it that is accessible and evident even now. The power of the Kingdom was demonstrated through the ministry of Christ and the Apostles in the Gospels, then through the church in the book of Acts, and is still evident in modernity. There really is power that transforms lives, and it is found in the Gospel of the Kingdom. That is precisely what we discuss on this episode.

  • Ep. 88 The Gospel and The Kingdom
    2024/09/23

    Text Us!

    All throughout the Gospel accounts we find this concept of the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven. What is so important about understanding what this reference is? Jesus found it important enough to make it a central topic of his preaching in the Gospel accounts. Further, how does understanding this important concept transform the life of the believer and change their perception of their responsibility to the world? Those are some of the questions that we are going to seek to answer in this multipart series on the Kingdom of God. We hope you enjoy!
