Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! The first month of Season 6 is all food, all the time. And we’re starting with a discussion of Biblical bread with Ryan Joy and Jeff O’Rear. Ryan co-hosts the Bible Geeks podcast and preaches for the North church in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Jeff preaches for the Judson Road church in Longview, Texas, and was the one who brought the Bible Geeks to my attention. We’ll start with the daily bread we get from God, and whether we think we could do better. Find the Bible Geeks podcast at https://open.spotify.com/show/01lseSKZvqry1P3kxEZnXs?si=200

Soul Love

Love Better

Today, we begin a ten-part series on learning to love the Lord (and our neighbor) with all our soul. What's a soul? Let's look at science, R&B, and take a trip to the Sinai Peninsula to find some answers. This series is a part of a broader goal this year to learn to love with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Jesus says that learning to love God and our neighbor with these four parts of us are the two greatest commandments. There is no better way to love better than to try and figure out how to best fulfill the first and second commandments. Send us Fan Mail "Remember, you are loved, so

"It's Me Season"

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Hey, "IT'S ME SEASON." Okay, actually it is not. But I did see that printed on a sweat shirt recently. What are your thoughts on that? It really struck me as an honest, but also very sad proclamation. Our culture is shifting so quickly and fully to individualistic thinking. It doesn't make me angry to see and hear this. It just makes me sad. God has such a deeper and richer plan for your life. There is an incredibly amount of value, purpose, and JOY in seeing your identity as a product of Christ, and for Christ, and to be

Psalm 108

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

This Psalm combines sections of Psalm 57:7-11 and Psalm 60:5-12. Psalm 57 and Psalm 60 are in their titles tied to specific circumstances in the life of David. There are some 13 Psalms that do this and these are two of them. This Psalm stresses 108:3 Giving thanks to the LORD 108:4 God's lovingkindness and faithfulness 108:7-9 God's complete sovereignty over Israel and their neighbors 108:11-13 God alone is responsible for victory. Trust in men is vain- Jer. 17:5-8. The Psalm foreshadows the salvation Jesus gives 108:8 Judah the leader - Heb. 7:14 108:5 Be exalted- John 3:14; 8:28; 12:32-33 10

S4 E7 - A Drawing for Jesus

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail My son went flying past me with a piece of paper he looked proud of. When I asked him what he had there, he said it was a drawing for Jesus that he planned to give to him when he saw him in heaven. Doesn't that just melt your heart? It's not about the picture (which was amazing by the way, it was a bunch of crowns) - it's about the heart behind it. Before the throne of God in John's Revelation, the 24 elders cast down their very crowns at the foot of the Almighty. But in reality, they presented the same gift to God as my son: they gave their everything. The question that remai
