Christmas Eve Service 2019

This week, we look at a passage from 1 Timothy, which encourages us to not focus on wealth but on doing good.

Riches

When we're trying to get our heads around the Creation story, we have to look at a completely different creation story, from Babylon where the people were exiled. Take a listen to see a whole new side of the Creation stories in the Bible.

Creation(s)

For the second and final installment of our series on Jude, we look at those affected by the "bad guys" in the letter. Some have fallen for their dangerous ideas. How should we deal with them?

Jude: How to deal with those who stumble

Today, we start to take on the wacky and confusing book of Jude. Meaning, first of all, we have to try to figure out what the heck Jude is even about. Which is not that easy to do! Take a listen to see if you can make heads or tails of it!

Wait, there's a book of the Bible called Jude?

This week, we look into Gehenna, a valley of fire and garbage and dead corpses, that just happened to be the inspiration for Early Christian view about Hell. So, learn more about that, as well as another way to think about Hell that might be more helpful nowadays.

Hell: Gehenna

Is there such a thing as Hell in the Old Testament? We look at Sheol, a murky, shadowy underworld; see how that's the Old Testament's remedy for evil; and explore how else we might conceptualize evil.

Hell: Sheol

Today's sermon takes on a tough story to crack, and digs into the ins and outs of how a civil war was averted, people were terrified of being left out, and a hothead was able to keep it together to avoid a disaster.

Changing Your Mind

Today's sermon looks at a bunch of different stories to try to figure out, How should Christians take care of the poor? Take a listen.

Early Christian Care for the Poor

Today's story features the obscure story of Mephibosheth and King David. To make sense of it, we take a look at the Marshall Plan, years-long chases, and a tragic accident.

Mephibosheth

Today's sermon, the last in our sermon series on healing, looks at an odd story of a blind man being made to see. It involves spit, interrogations, screaming matches, and a Swedish teenager. Take a listen!

Healing: Disabilities

This week, we look at the question of Why doesn't God heal people anymore like in the Bible? Our journey takes us through the fields of anthropology and sociology to investigate healing around the world and our own Western culture's disenchantment.

Healing: Why Doesn't God Heal People Anymore?

This week, we dive into the passage of the Geresene Demoniac, looking at how the Roman Empire relates to the demon Legion.

Healing: Geresene Demoniac

For our first sermon in this series on healing, we will be thinking about the nature of prayer and what it means to be praying for something.

Healing: Praying for Healing

This week, we look at the famous story of the Ethiopian eunuch and dive more into the background of the story.

The Queer, Ethiopian, Eunuch
