SEQUELS: Biblical sequels. "Unshackling America." Indiana Jones. Machi Koro 2.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Sequels are a mixed bag. Sometimes they celebrate or even improve upon the original. Sometimes they make us wish someone had just left well enough alone. This week we will discuss the purpose of sequels in the Bible and how we can make the most of them; the war we fought because we didn’t fight the previous one well enough; the upcoming Indiana Jones film and why I’m nervous about it; and the board game sequel that improved our gaming experience by robbing me of victories. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods D

Just "Do Something"

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Sam Bennett is a collegiate golfer from Texas A&M. He made an amazing showing at the Masters tournament recently. But his tattoo got as much attention as his golf game. He lost his father two years ago and had his father's last written words identically tattooed on his arm. The message is powerful and needful for us all. It can be so easy to do nothing. We do nothing out of fear. We do nothing out of a lack of self belief. Often we may do nothing as a result of a weaker faith than we'd like to admit. Jesus didn't teach a

Jeff O'Rear · Bible Geeks Podcast

Appreciate Biblical People of Faith And we have a winner! This week we wrap up our 2023 Bible Bracket, surveying the life and writings of Paul the Apostle, who voters identified as a Favorite Figure of Faith ( biblegeeks.fm/bracket ). We’re also excited to have Jeff O’Rear join us on this week’s episode. Jeff is an evangelist with the Judson Road church of Christ in Longview, Texas, and seemed like the perfect guest co-host for a review of the Bible Bracket. Together, we talk about our biggest upsets (Barnbabas!!!), why we appreciate Paul, and who else has impacted us by their example in Scrip

S3 E10 - Clay Pots & Bird Nests

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail We mounted some clay pots on our back patio to plant herbs in for the spring. There is just one problem, the birds got to them first. So instead of growing herbs, we will now be playing host to the hatching of baby birds in nests they have made in two of our pots. Well...as I watched these birds, it reminded me of Jesus' reassuring words in the sermon on the mount. Here I watched these little creatures day in and day out find food and shelter, which God constantly provides. We are of so much more value - so won't God also care for us? So long as we seek his kingdom first, the

Psalm 79

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

This psalm contains lamentation (79:1-5), imprecation (or curses) (79:6-7, 10b, 12), pleas for mercy (79:8-10a, 11), and thanksgiving and praise (79:13). The events of 587 BC were devastating to Jerusalem. Abraham was promised the land of Canaan and they were ripped off of it and taken into captivity. David was promised a king from his line to sit upon his throne and this king was removed. Solomon built the temple and the temple was destroyed. The Psalm is very similar to Psalms 44, 74, and 137. There is no darker time than this in the OT for God's people. However, remarkably the Psalm will en

TRAINS: Asking God to yield. "Murder on the Orient Express." "City of New Orleans." Railroad Revolution.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! This week we will discuss how standing in front of an oncoming train is an absolutely idiotic thing to do, but also could actually be necessary; we’ll talk about the most famous train in the world and one of the most famous murders; a song about a train that goes a lot further than you may have realized; and a game that brings out the best in some and the quit in others. All aboard, we’re leaving the station. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the host of the

The Holy Longing

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Special thanks to my friend, Kam Armstrong, for calling my attention to the book Sacred Fire, by Ronald Rolheiser. He expresses three levels of life, both physically and spiritually: Essential Discipleship (the struggle to get our lives together), Mature Discipleship (the struggle to give our lives away), and Radical Discipleship (the struggle to give our deaths away). We will be focusing on the first of those today, and particularly how young adults embrace this task of putting their own life together. Younger people fac
