SCIENCE: Science in the Bible. "Charles Darwin." Bats. Genotype.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Renaissance month begins next week. I thought it would be a good introduction to discuss the way we look at the physical world and how it can either defeat or reinforce faith, depending on how much faith we had to start with. This week we will discuss the scientific facts found in the Bible and which ones are more persuasive than others; Charles Darwin’s argument regarding human suffering, which has lived far longer than he did; the testimony of 1.5 million airborne Austinites; and a form of evolution I can embrace and have fun with.

Salvation by Grace

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Salvation by Grace by Matt Bassford Matt's article is accessible through the link above. Have you had experiences like I had on the plane last week? How do you explain that Grace of God to people who question your faith in it? Have you let Romans 1-6 become a template for explaining salvation by Grace through faith? Are you Rahab? Or is she someone beneath or behind you in faith and life? Has the greatness of God's grace convinced you to give your whole life over to Him?

Consummation - John 18-21

Jeff · Working with the Word

The time has come for Jesus to accomplish what the Father sent Him to do. Jesus has prepared His disciples for this moment, as well as Himself in prayer, and now He is arrested, crucified, and raised from the dead. In this episode we simply read from the text to observe what's unique and important about John's presentation of these events.

DIFFICULTY: Being saved. "The Sound and the Fury." "Flight of the Bumblebee." Kanban.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Easy is better than hard, all things being equal. But all things are not always equal. In fact, the more desirable the skill, object or accomplishment in question, the harder the quest seems to be. And that’s a good thing. This week we will discuss why life has to be so hard in general; why I have never finished a William Faulkner book, and have no intention of doing so; how the seemingly impossible can be rendered entirely reasonable; and how order of operations can build either a car or a home in heaven.

Wrestling with God

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Six observations from Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32: 1) Jacob is a flawed but very faithful man. (Gen. 31:3, 41-43: 32:1-2) 2) Jacob is in a stressful and uncertain situation. (Gen. 32:3-8, 9-12) 3) God initiates this encounter for Jacob's benefit. (Gen. 32:22-24, 28, 30) 4) Jacob does not try to escape but holds on until God blesses him. (Gen. 32:24-26; Hosea 12:4) 5) God conceded defeat to Jacob in a moment of grace and transformation. (Gen. 32:26-29) 6) Jacob proceeds from the encounter physically worse and sp

Psalm 62

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

This psalm uses the Hebrew word translated "only" or "alone" some six times. Four of these times in passages about God Himself-( 62:1, 2, 5, 6). God alone is our rock and our salvation. What does the Psalm tells us about God? (62:1-2. 5-6, 7, 11-12) Why is man such an empty object of hope and trust? (62:9-10) What does the Psalm tells us about Christ?

BEACHES: Paul on Malta. "The Power of Your Influence." The Beach Boys. Santa Monica.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Drawing a line in the sand is a common expression in English. And the beach has plenty of sand, and plenty of opportunities to draw lines. When does comfort become complacency? When does relaxation become laziness? This week we will discuss Paul’s day on the beach and how it informs the book of Philippians; our influence at the beach, and whether we are part of the solution or part of the problem; beach music, and whether Jesus would sing along; and whether a beach trip without beach activities is worth the effort. Hal Hammons is the p
