113 episodesAfter naming John the Baptist, Zechariah gets his voice back and belts out a prophecy of his own. Those promises from of old, that felt like they dwindled over time, are back with a vengeance. God will speak. A king from the House of David will rule God's people. God will make all things well. It's going to look way different than before, but that difference is its strength. Christ's birth kicks off a mighty movement of God. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Every Christian year begins with a scripture about the end of the world. This isn't to scare people, but to give people hope. In the end, God wins handily. It won't always look like that's what's going to happen, but God has kept every other promise. So, we being every year with a reminder of the promise still hanging out there unfilled, and God's history of righteousness. We can carry this with us as a spark of hope in a dark world. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
Jesus's trial before Pontius Pilate does start to feel like two men quipping at each other about the nature of true. Pilate gets portrayed as hapless or spineless, but history reveals him to be absolutely ruthless. On the other hand, Christ won't even raise a hand in his own defense. He dies willingly out of love. This conversation functions on a symbolic level for the difference between earthly empire and the Kingdom of God. Who do you want to be your ruler? What Kingdom do you want the world to look like? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted a Culture, on one level, is a film about how the word "homosexual" entered the canon of Scripture less than a lifetime ago. It was done via the translators for the Revised Standard Version (RSV), and its use has only risen with later translations. However, the team behind the RSV retracted its usage. That shift reveals one of the real themes of the movie that should resonate throughout modern Christianity: humility. The film centers on our addiction to certainty and the ways that we damage people with it. About the film: https://www.1946themovie.com/ ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
