S2 E58 - Special Annoucement & A Different Perspective

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail I will be on paternity leave starting with next weeks episode since our baby girl is coming by next week, but we will have guest speakers for the next several weeks! They bring a different perspective, which is exactly what I brought to lunch today. Bella, our friend Brianna's daughter, wouldn't eat her chicken. No matter what Brianna tried, Bella refused. Then I gave it a whirl, and wouldn't you know it, she at it. Same fork. Same chicken. But a different person offering it. Aren't kids funny? Well...I think there is a lesson here. We would do well to ensure that we are sitti

The Holy Spirit in God’s Plan - John 16

Jeff · Working with the Word

Throughout John 14-16 Jesus tells the apostles the Holy Spirit will come as their helper and counselor. He also tells them to not fear the future, for "I have conquered the world." Why did the apostles need this instruction and comfort? How was it fulfilled in their lives, and how does it relate to us today?

Tell No One

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! I am an oversharer. I talk too much and listen too little. The issue with this is I read the reactions to that sharing and hang too much of my happiness on the response, the likes, the affirmations. There is certainly room in life to tell people things and read their feedback. But I am learning to "tell no one." I am learning that social media has programmed my brain to post and hang my joy on the reactions. But with the help of Captain America, Bradley Cooper, and Joe Burrow, I am learning to keep more to myself. I am le

ARE Bible Study - Inviting the Young Men Back

The Daily Answer

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, ACT LIKE MEN, be strong.” Paul the Apostle made this proclamation in 1 Corinthians 16:13. The expression “act like men” is translated as “be brave” in many versions of the Bible. Where are the brave men of our time? As our society seeks to feminize men, many have lost their drive to provide for the home and to keep their families in the way of the Lord. Therefore, many young men have lost their faith, and as a result, the faith of others has suffered. We need strong, courageous men in the home and society, but most importantly, in the church. And we need

OIA Review with Genesis 6-9

Jeff · Working with the Word

After taking a lengthy break, let's review and re-sharpen our Bible study skills as we Observe, Interpret, and Apply Genesis 6-9. We'll work through these chapters one step at a time, working from simple observations about the text to direct application connections that the New Testament makes from Noah's life. The flood narrative teaches us much about sin through humanity's rebellion, about faith through Noah's obedience, and about salvation through God's grace.

S2 E57 - Fantasy Or Real Life?

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Fantasy football is starting back up, and I couldn't be happier! I love everything football. I can debate it all day long, talk the ins and outs of the game, and even enjoy studying the technical aspects of football from time to time from experts. But here is the catch...I've never played football. Ever. There is a huge difference between knowing about football, and actually playing it. Well...the same thing could be shared about sharing the gospel. We know a lot about evangelism, don't we? We study it, debate it, read about it, and promote it. But what are we actually doing?

PEACE: Passing understanding. "Finding Moosewood Finding God." Facebook jail. Village Green.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Maybe I’m still in stay-cation mode from last week. In any case, I’m spending this week talking about taking it easy and enjoying the life Jesus blesses us with here on earth, even in troubled times. We’ll discuss why the world is so confused by our peace; the extreme measures we sometimes need to take in its pursuit; the peace that has recently been forced upon me against my will; and the work that often goes into finding it. Hal Hammons is the preacher for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the host of t

Crying "Abba Father"

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Have you ever cried out "Abba Father" in prayer? It is found three times in Scripture. Jesus did it in Mark 14:36. Jesus seems to be doing it through us in Galatians 4:6. And we are all, having been adopted by God, to cry this out to the Lord in Romans 8:15. There is this cool progression from Jesus, to Jesus in us, to us. Credit to Ryan Goodwin for sharing these great thoughts recently. You can find his sermons on our church YouTube channel. But what does it mean? How are we crying "abba" which represents a child-like ad

Psalm 60

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

This Psalm has a lengthy heading which ties in to David and Joab's conflicts with Edom recorded in II Sam. 8:13-14; I Chron. 18:12-13; and I Kings 11:15-16. This most closely fits a national lament mourning a defeat in battle. Verses 5-12 are largely repeated in 108:6-13. 60:1-3 uses several verbs that stress God's hand in this crisis. 60:5 but the people are God's beloved 60:6-8 God has divided out the land among His people and He has promised to conquer Israel's foes 60:9-12 They beg God's help and aid in their conflict with Edom because only He can deliver and save. In the end they express

ARE Bible Q & A

The Daily Answer

ARE Bible Study - The Christian and Civil Government

The Daily Answer

Ephesians 1:21 tells us that Jesus is “far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named….” Does this mean we are not to submit to the civil governments of this world? How do we as Christians balance our loyalties? Should we get involved in politics? Should we support one party over another? Should we submit to civil authority even if it contradicts God’s word? Can politics be a part of our evangelism? Thankfully, God gives us direction in His word about our duty as citizens under earthly authority.

S2 E56 - Getting Things Ready

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail We are about three weeks away from baby time, and we have been working hard to get things ready. Some things aren't as fun to get ready like all the laundry, cleaning, etc. But getting her room ready? That has been a joy. We've been working hard to get a place ready for her, and even though she won't understand what's waiting for her or appreciate what we've done, we do it because we love her and this will be her home. Well...isn't that the journey ahead for all of us Christians? Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us. We cannot begin to imagine what heaven will be like, or
