All of us strive for something (or even many things) in life. These are our hopes and dreams put into action. But what do we do when what we strive for doesn't come about? Is it possible for our striving to be redeemed? Listen in today and learn about King Josiah's striving and how Jesus Christ redeems all of our striving.
Redeeming the Outsider (Hebrews 11:29-40)
We live in an insider/outsider world. How can the genealogy of Jesus Christ teach us anything about what it means to live in this kind of reality? Listen in today as we learn about outsiders in Jesus's time, and in todays time, and then what we can learn about the true "insider" life.
Redeeming the Weak (Matthew 1:5; Ruth 1:9-21)
Do you feel weak or incapable sometimes in life? What hope can there be? Listen in today as Marcos teaches us from the remarkable story of Ruth and Boaz.
Christ the Redeemer (Matthew 1)
Jesus's family tree is full of interesting people. But one thing they all share in common is that they are not perfect, not by any stretch of the imagination! As we step into the fall, we're going to be learning each week about how Jesus is the Redeemer of all broken people, starting with the ones in his own genealogy. Today though we begin simply with the simple fact - The Redeemer is the Christ, the Son of David and Abraham, and his name is Jesus because he saves his people from their sins.
The Greatest Work (Psalm 111)
Psalm 111 is a beautiful acrostic poem that recounts the great works of God in summary form. But how does the greatness of what God does relate to what we do in our everyday lives, and particularly our places of work? Listen in today as we learn a bit about the biblical theology of work itself and God's greatest work of all.
