Advent, Love

The Sacraments - Communion

In this episode Danny and I discuss Communion (or The Eucharist or The Lord's Supper). We discuss the elements, where in scripture we find the sacrament (or ordinance), and what it means to celebrate Communion. We find that this holy ceremony is a call to unity with Christ AND with the Church. In our study on this topic, we found Francis Chan's views on Communion to be especially helpful.

Ecclesiology - Sacraments (Ordinances?)

In the first episode of 2024, we continue our conversation on Ecclesiology. We consider the issue of the sacraments (or ordinances, depending on your tradition). What are the sacraments, are they truly sacred practices, and how do they connect us to the divine?

Advent, Love

Merry Christmas Eve! Today is the last day of Advent, tomorrow is Christmas Day! In this episode, we discuss the theme of love. How do we know what love is? What do we do with love? We look at John 3:16, Romans 5:8, and 1 John 4:10 and discuss the role of love in our lives. Thank you for joining us on our journey through Advent.

Advent - Joy

In Philippians 4:4 Paul encourages Christians to rejoice. In fact, he believes it so strongly he says it twice. How can we experience joy even in dark circumstances? How do we rejoice regardless of what is going on around us? In this episode, we explore Philippians 4, the story of Job, and Hebrews 11 as we discuss how to find joy in faith.

Advent - Peace

This week's episode is all about peace. If Jesus is considered the Prince of Peace, what does that mean for us? Does it mean we will never experience pain or conflict? Will things always be calm in our lives? If they aren't calm, does that mean we've messed up somehow? Explore and meditate with us on what it means for Jesus to be peace even in the midst of the storm.
