Conversations About Race | Ep.101 w/ Sandra + Michael Winfrey

Welcome to Conversations About Race, a (sometimes awkward) conversation about race, what the Bible says about it, and how we can respond.

And they have a heart to be on mission with Jesus.

Waking Up to a New Reality

,

Imagine waking up. But rather than your typical experience of slowly opening your eyes as you gradually wake up, imagine that you are jarred awake suddenly. 

You sense a queasiness in your stomach as you realize that your bed is swaying. Disoriented, you realize that books and pictures are unexpectedly falling from shelves. You hear glass shattering and a low, unrecognizable rumble, but you can’t quite identify the source. As a racing heartbeat quickly replaces the fog of sleep, you realize that you are in the midst of an earthquake.

Welcome to Our Fall 2021 Study

Join us this season as we dive deep into the five shortest books of the Bible: Jude, Obadiah, Philemon, 2 John, 3 John. We are going to spend two episodes on each of these short books. Kelly and Kristy will be alternating joining the conversation each episode. Each episode will focus on a different tip or strategy for studying and interpreting the Bible. We’ll start with the longest book on this list (Jude at 461 words) and work our way down to the shortest (3 John at 219 words) so we can show you how rich your study of God’s word can be when you dive deep into a short book!

We are in the final chapters of Hebrews where the author is calling these Hebrew Christians to faith and endurance by building on the great cloud of witnesses from Hebrews 11 and reminding them of their God who was faithful to them. In chapter 12, we see the push towards endurance in daily living until the Lord ushers in his completed kingdom someday. In chapter 13, we wrap up with concluding exhortations and remarks for this audience and we hone in on how they apply to us today.

Listen in today as Justin and Danny talk to Jerry about stories of encouragement, triumph, and what it looks like to lead with a Christ-centered heart.

A really unbelievable episode you’re not going to want to miss.

More Than Fire Insurance

The Gospel has often been presented as a one-time decision that grants you your “get-out-of-hell-free” card; as that prayer, you once prayed that equipped you with fire insurance for eternity. If that’s what we believe the Gospel is, we’ve...

What Is Worship, Really?

, ,

Ever felt disconnected, disassociated, dysfunctional, disjoined, disapproved, distant, disappointed…just straight up dissed? God doesn’t disconnect from people, so we know the problem isn’t God. In fact, he designed a model for us to be a part of that is imperative to who we are as Christians. It’s called the church body.
