Is The Anti-Christ coming? Is he already here? Is the mark of the beast coming? Is it already here? These questions have been speculated for thousands of years. Today, we look at Revelation 13, the primary source for much of these speculations. How would the first audience have understood this story?…

The Seven Trumpets 55:41

Hail, fire, blood, scorched earth, scorpions, locusts with lions teeth, two-hundred million troops, plagues, serpents, falling stars, bottomless pit, mountains thrown into sea, Wormwood, eagles, fire breathing horses like lions, China, Russia, and India. We are into the thick of Revelation and it is NOT a prediction about what is to come.…

The Seven Seals 1:10:31

1:10:31

As John breaks the seven seals, what He uncovers might surprise you. The empire is not as secure and stable as it might appear. John is intentionally shaking the foundation of our security. He is not trying to induce anxiety but he is inviting us to trust in the salvation of something greater.

Lion + Lamb 1:06:45

1:06:45

The creative artist John sets up the reader with an expectation of a fierce, violent, and ferocious lion coming to save the day. Just when you think the warrior is arriving, John surprises us with an image of a slaughtered lamb coming to save the day. This is about deconstructing notions of power.

Inventing the Rapture 58:37

há 5 weeks58:37

58:37

Let's talk about the rapture. A word or concept found nowhere in the Bible. Yet, many believe and wait for the moment when all christians will be caught up in the air to meet Jesus and leave behind all non-Christians. Which leads us to some questions, where did the concept come from? Does Revelation even hint at it? And who cares if people believe in a rapture? Why does it even matter?…

The Collective @ Laodicea 53:56

53:56

This week we visit the spiritual collective @ Laodicea. You know the one? They are lukewarm and getting spewed out of God's mouth. Does that ring a bell? It is a strong image. But what is behind it? Turns out John is serious about those who have gotten too comfortable inside the empire. John calls them to open their blind eyes to the reality of the empire.…

The Collective @ Ephesus 55:30

55:30

John begins his specific address to the seven spiritual collectives in Asia Minor. The collective at Ephesus is praised for their willingness to accept the cost of calling out those who have willingly aligned with the empire. But he also pleads with them to make sure their work of justice is centered and grounded in love.…

John + Domitian + Resistance Literature 57:53

57:53

To know what the text means you have to first know what the text meant. Let’s go deep into the historical context of Revelation. Then let's go deep into the literary context John is using. What do we discover? Not simply history but our own stories inside of this first century story.

Everything Revealed 40:08

há 10 weeks40:08

40:08

Today we begin our series on Revelation with a simple yet profound truth. Revelation is not a prediction about the end of the world. Revelation is about the uncovering of things that were hidden. Revelation is not written to us in 2025. Revelation was written to people in the first century living under the boot of the Roman Empire. It is in this context, we discover EVERYTHING REVEALED.…

A Double Victory 57:38

há 11 weeks57:38

57:38

In Romans, Paul arms us with weapons of peace. He invites us to consider overcoming evil with good. The result? We will “heap burning coals on their heads.” What does that mean? I believe the answer can best be summed up in what Dr. King called, “A Double Victory.”

Breaking Mirrors 51:40

51:40

The Book of Romans has become a domesticated letter about individualistic salvation and personal righteousness. But Paul isn’t writing systematic theology here. Romans is indeed about salvation, but it is salvation from real forces of evil. Paul outlines very tangible ways that his community can be a peacemaker in the face of evil. What are we supposed to do with all this evil? What do I do when treated unjustly? How to behave in the face of injustice? How do we overcome evil?…

ONE NEW HUMANITY 54:50

Can conflict be healthy? Can conflict be a doorway to transformation? Today, we explore how the collective at Ephesus found themselves in some serious conflict which leads to a major disruption. But it’s in the midst of the conflict and disruption that something is birthed. The author calls it, ONE NEW HUMANITY.…

Inside the Pain 46:12

46:12

Central to the human experience is pain and suffering. Last week we explored the question of WHY THIS? This week we will explore the question, WHAT NOW? What do you do when you are inside the pain? Is there a distinction between pain and suffering? Is suffering inevitable? How can we go through pain without being overcome by it?…

Pain + Suffering + Omnipotence 56:53

Why? That is the question. Why is there pain and suffering in the world? Where is the Divine? And what about all those clutches like “God is still on the throne” “God is in control” “Everything happens for a reason” and “His ways are not our ways.” Today we talk about pain and suffering.
