Discussing the Gospel of Mark, chapter 7. This episode is about the traditions of man that make hypocrites out of people who claim to know God.

Discussing Acts 9 and the Gospel of Mark, chapter 6. These chapters coming to faith and facing opposition in sharing it. There is a resilience that comes with knowing that Christ makes up for all we lack.

Join Pastor Locke and Pastor Nate this week as we are discussing the Gospel of Mark, 4:35-5:43. These chapters emphasize faith as the means whereby we connect to the Kingdom. Without faith in your Designer, the default is self-faith, and that has very, very limited resources.

Discussing the Gospel of Mark, chapters 3-4. These chaptere talk about the unexpected nature of God and the parables used to describe it.

Join us for our discussion on the authority of Jesus from Mark chapter two. In this discussion, we talk about how faith in Jesus asking for healing relates to our faith in him for forgiveness of sins. Not all illnesses are necessarily caused by personal sin. Jesus has authority to forgive sins. Next we look at how Jesus' authority is displayed in his mission and purpose to rescue the sinner. He can courageously enter into very personal spaces and conversations with sinners, knowing his purpose to rescue them. Lastly we talked about how Jesus has authority over the Sabbath and the role of fasting in the life of the Christian.

Join us for a discussion on God as the source of our gratitude, and the practical expressions of that gratitude in everyday life. We could never repay God, but we should recognize the value of what he has given us in the way we give to others.

Today we reflect on recent Advent and Christmas themes, focusing on the spiritual significance of Christ’s coming, the nature of love, and humanity’s response to God’s invitation. The Advent season encapsulates the full narrative of Christ’s coming, both historical and future, inviting believers to reflect on the ongoing personal relationship with Jesus. True Love is inseparable from God's presence.

This podcast episode centers on the theme of joy during the third week of Advent, drawing heavily on biblical texts, particularly from the Old Testament and Isaiah 35. Pastors Locke and Nate explore the nuanced distinctions between joy, happiness, and blessedness, emphasizing how these terms overlap biblically but diverge in English usage, with joy portrayed as a deeper, more enduring state connected to God.
