What is the Gospel? | Be and Make Disciples, pt. 3

Thursday Feb 16, 2023

What is the Gospel?

This question is terribly to the topic of discipleship because as Bill Hull and Ben Sobels say, "The gospel you preach determines the disciples you make" ... and it will determine the kind of disciple you are as well.

And unfortunately, the typical gospel in the evangelical church has been really good at making church members with a ticket to heaven but not disciples of Jesus.

So what is the gospel Jesus and the apostles preached? Tune it to find out.

What would it be like to be discipled by Jesus? | Be and Make Disciples, pt. 2

Thursday Feb 09, 2023

Be and Make Disciples

This episode explores the question, What would it have been like to be discipled by Jesus?

We can answer this question by reading the Gospels. There was this well-known line from the Mishnah about being “covered in the dust” of your rabbi. It reflects both traveling behind him learning as you discuss important topics and sitting at his feet as he taught in a house. This is exactly what we see in the gospels. In the Gospels, we see Jesus discipling the disciples.

Thursday Jan 05, 2023

Advent 2022

Over the next several weeks, I want to consider the story we believe is the the true story of the world leading up to the coming of the Messiah and then go beyond that to what we’re still waiting for today.

We’ll look at the promise and its initial fulfillment and then its final fulfillment when Christ comes again.

Even though Jesus came as the initial fulfillment of the advent hope, the waiting isn't over. So in this episode, we explore what it is that we're still waiting for... what is our final hope?

Exile - Cut Down but Not Abandoned | Advent 2022

Thursday Dec 15, 2022

Advent 2022

We’ll look at the promise and its initial fulfillment and then its final fulfillment when Christ comes again.

In this episode we consider the theme of exile and how being forsaken because of their unfaithfulness led to real loss, and how that led to longing and hoping and waiting for God to act. Israel may have been cut down but they weren't abandoned and God hadn't forgotten his promises.

Israel - Unfaithfulness and Promise | Advent 2022

Thursday Dec 08, 2022

Advent 2022

We’ll look at the promise and its initial fulfillment and then its final fulfillment when Christ comes again.

In this episode we consider the nation of Israel, a key part of the fulfillment of the promise to Abraham. Their story shows us God's faithfulness even when we're unfaithful. Their story is one of covenant and failure… of blessing and curse … of destruction and promise

It's a story of unfaithfulness and promise.
