Does God ever accomplish His goals through violent people? With figures like Jehu we wonder if this is sometimes the case. There are times when God’s wrath needs to be brought against people, for instance when God allows a sinful empire like Babylon to overtake Israel. In the case of Jehu, we wonder if maybe the idolatry was so intense that even a sinful person like Jehu can be an instrument of God’s good plan. Remember what people intend for evil, God can intend for good.   Song: Better Than Life (Psalm 63) - Zak Kratzer (2021)

Many claim that the Bible is full of contradictions, but is this true? Is scripture consistent with itself? This is a question that affects how you view the Bible and ultimately how you view God. And if scripture is consistent, then how do we handle things that seem contradictory on first look. We tackle these questions and more…   SONG: Holy Spirit Fill Us (Zak Kratzer, 2020)

The argument goes something like this: Anti-Christians: The bible is unfactual, contracts itself, and is most likely allegory or myth.  Fundamentalists: Everything is literal Us: Somewhere in the middle?

You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

Episode 26 - Idols Around Us

Outreach is held as one of the most important parts of any church ministry. But is our modern idea of "outreach" really the same thing God called us to do as Christians?   For the last two weeks we've discussed different people who recently left or entered into the community of God, and in the weeks past we have looked at how the modern church tends to be swayed more by the trends and motivations of modern life then by the scriptures. Today we want to discuss what real Outreach looks like to God.      Song: Words Aren't Everything (CHILL VERSION) By Zak and Collin                #establessed!
