6 DEC 2024 · If you have ever heard the term "lukewarm Christian", you can thank the church in Laodicea for that! But what does it mean to be "lukewarm"? Whatever it is, it's pretty important, because Jesus says that being "lukewarm" is so gross, He wants to vomit it out of His mouth. So it stands to reason that we, as followers of Jesus, should make sure we are as far separated from whatever "lukewarm" is.
So what does it mean to be "lukewarm"? Have a listen! We're glad you're here, let's get into it :)
29 NOV 2024 · When I was a teenager, I assumed that there was only one way to read Revelation. And, in a way, there IS only one way to read Revelation, which is the same way we read the rest of the Bible: in it's proper context. But due to it's blend of prophetic, apocalyptic, and epistolary elements, Revelation feels a little more difficult to simply read "within it's context".
Because of this, certain methodologies have arisen throughout history that have sought to make sense of Revelation within it's context. In today's episode of our bonus content series "REVELING in Revelation", Braden and I explore the 4 main methodologies used to understand this incredible (and slightly confusing) book! We unpack what they are, what their strengths are, as well as their weaknesses.
So if you've ever been interested in the various ways in which Revelation has been interpreted, or if you've never given any thought to it until today, give us a listen!
We're glad you're here, let's get into it :)
22 NOV 2024 · The church in Philadelphia is dealing with an issue that we all deal with: doubt. It makes sense, too! They've got people telling them that Jesus is a false Messiah, and if they don't turn back now, they'll be judged by God. I wouldn't blame anyone for struggling with doubt in that context. But what's really cool about Jesus' message to the church in Philadelphia is how Jesus handles their doubts. And I think His message to them is just as pertinent for those of us today who have ever wrestled with their own doubts.
So if you have ever had doubts about faith, Jesus, the existence of God, the Bible, or anything of that nature, then this episode is for you.
So welcome! We're glad you're here, let's get into it :)
15 NOV 2024 · Jesus follows the same structure when He addresses the churches:
Reveal
Reassurance
Rebuke
Repent
Ramifications
Reward
As we've been going through the churches we have been picking apart each part of the structure of the churches! What's interesting is in that, sometimes, Jesus DOESN'T stick to the pattern. That's on purpose, because Jesus wants us to pay attention in these moments. This week, Jesus messes with the pattern. He's done it already with the church in Smyrna, and he does it with the church in Sardis, but in the exact opposite way. So have a listen as our pastoral intern Braden Shannon walks us through the church in Sardis!
We're glad you're here! Let's get into it :)
8 NOV 2024 · Jesus follows the same structure when He addresses the churches:
Reveal
Reassurance
Rebuke
Repent
Ramifications
Reward
On our next episode in our Revelation series, we're tackling the fourth church: Thyatira. If you've ever heard the term "Jezebel" thrown about in church communities, you have this passage to thank! Jesus' issue with this church actually centers around a "Jezebel" in their midst. So what does Jesus mean when He tells them that they've been tolerating "Jezebel"? Why is it such a big deal? And what does it mean for us here in 2024? Have a listen and find out!
We're glad you're here, let's get into it :)Â
25 OCT 2024 · There are probably few theological topics more famous than the one we know as "The Rapture". Even if you aren't a Christian, you are probably aware of what it is. They've even based entire secular movies around the concept of the rapture! It's extremely well known... but do you actually KNOW it?
Join us for our second episode in our bonus content series "REVELING in Revelation", where we discuss topics, issues, and aspects related to the book of Revelation that don't necessarily serve the purpose of a lesson at youth group, but are important enough that we need to talk about!
For this episode, we are diving full on into the Rapture. What is the rapture? What is it's history? Who promotes it? Where is the evidence for it in scripture, and can a good argument be made AGAINST the rapture? If you've ever asked one or multiple of these questions, or if you're just interested in the topic, then have a listen!
We're glad you're here, let's get into it :)
18 OCT 2024 · When Jesus addresses each of the seven churches, He follows the same structure:
1.) Intro
2.) Encouragement
3.) Rebuke
4.) Repent
5.) Consequences
6.) Reward
So for each church, we are going to go through this structure, and we're going to unpack what Jesus says. This week, our very own pastoral intern Braden Shannon flew solo as he recorded the lesson he taught at Youth Group this week! So what's the deal with the church in Smyrna? What does it mean to be a "Synagogue of Satan"? And what's the surprising thing about this church? Have a listen to what Braden has to say and find out!
We're glad you're here with us! Let's get into it :)
17 OCT 2024 · When Jesus addresses each of the seven churches, He follows the same structure:
1.) Intro
2.) Encouragement
3.) Rebuke
4.) Repent
5.) Consequences
6.) Reward
So for each church, we are going to go through this structure, and we're going to unpack what Jesus says. So what's Ephesus' deal? What does "the one who holds the seven stars in His right hand, and walks among the seven golden lampstands" have to say to this church? And most importantly, where has the love gone??
We're glad you're here with us! Let's get into it :)
11 OCT 2024 · Jesus has a message for each of the seven churches, and for each church, He follows the same format.
Intro - Jesus introduces Himself in such a way that would mean something for that specific church
Encouragement - Jesus tells the church what they are doing well
Rebuke - Jesus tells the church what they are NOT doing well
Repent - Jesus calls them to repent
Consequences - Jesus tells them what will happen if they DON'T repent
Reward - Jesus shares an eternal reward for "those who conquer"
For this week, we did the church in Pergamum! This church is commended for holding fast to face in INTENSE persecution, but rebuked for some faulty teachings they're adhering to, which adds up to this: Following Jesus means allegiance and adherence. What does that all mean? Have a listen and find out! We're glad you're here, let's get into it :)
27 SEP 2024 · One of the reasons I love the book of Revelation is because it's just absolutely crazy. But the craziness has a purpose to it! Case and point: Jesus shows up in our passage today, but He shows up in a way that is WILDLY different than what we're used to seeing. Most of us, when we think of Jesus, think of that painting in your church where He's holding a little lamb or snuggling a child. We RARELY think of Jesus with eyes on fire, hair white as wool, and a sword coming out of His mouth. Yet this is what we see in our passage today.
But Jesus doesn't show up like this just for fun! He shows up like this for a purpose. So what's the purpose? Have a listen and find out! We're glad you're here, let's get into it :)
