Traders Point church of Christ: Recent Episodes
Traders Point Church of Christ
Welcome to Traders Point church of Christ! Each week we explore what the Bible has to say about different topics and passages of scripture through sermons and Bible studies. Our goal is to grow closer to God through a better understanding of His word!
This month we will spend our time in the book of Psalms. Each week we will pick a specific genre, then a specific Psalm from that genre and discuss and study from it. This week the Messianic Psalms and specifically Psalm 22. In this Psalm David writes of his own struggles and it is easy to see the parallels to Jesus. Jesus quotes from this Psalm from the cross, noting the fulfillment of what we see in there.
As we continue our study of the one chapter books in the New Testament, we spend this week in 3 John. This is another personal letter written by John to a friend of his, with encouragement and admonition to help and support those who speak the truth. It has great application for us today in those same areas, who to emulate and who not to as well. Join us as we study this great book together.
The letter entitled 2nd John carries a very personal tone as "the Elder" writes to a woman that he clearly knows quite well and thinks highly of. He is concerned with the potential influence of those who are opposed to the truth and love that defines a christian.
Jeremy begins the first New Testament story of the Preaching Through the Bible Series, looking at the birth and early life of Jesus! Have you ever thought about why God announced the birth of His Son to shepherds? Or what the significance is of the first recoded words Jesus spoke? Great insights in this latest lesson!
We are going to spend some time this month studying the shortest books of the New Testament - the four one-chapter letters of Philemon, 2 John, 3 John and Jude.
This week is all about Philemon; a short, personal letter, written by Paul to a dear friend of his named Philemon. The letter addresses what could be a sensitive topic between the two of them but Paul respects and trusts Philemon enough to be confident that it will be well-received.
Every other one of Jesus' miracles has instantaneous results. Why does the healing of the blind man in Mark 8 take Him two tries? John Morgan helps us see what Jesus is teaching in the context of Mark 8 and, as a result, what REALLY seeing Jesus and His Kingdom will do for us.
John and Jeremy team up to recap what the kids learned during VBS, "Mountain Movers," a couple weeks ago. What can adults learn from Mt. Sinai, Mt. Carmel, and The Mount of Transfiguration?
We sing some VBS songs that kids will enjoy too!
Even when given everything, man is still susceptible to temptation. Genesis 3 teaches a lot of very important lessons about the result of sin and the impact that it has on our relationship with God and with each other.
In this episode we discuss Genesis 2, the creation of man and woman, as well as the beginning of marriage. Lots to discuss, study along with us.
In this episode we will discuss Genesis 1, and the beginning of all things. We will talk about creation, and God's power and His order. Join us in this all important study from God's Word.
The last three of these seven letters, found in Revelation 3, are written to churches that are all in very different places. Sardis might have looked the part from an outsider's perspective but it's reality was very different, Philadelphia may not have been the most impressive looking church but was persevering in an admirable way, and Laodicea was a church that needed to rediscover its passion and zeal!
Amidst the turmoil and destruction of Jerusalem at the hand of the Babylonians, was God's desire still to save His people? John Morgan thinks so, and he talks about how that's still God's desire for us today. This and two other points we can learn from Israel's Babylonian Captivity on our latest episode!
Part five of our monthly series, Preaching Through the Bible. Watch now!
The next two letters, both found in Revelation 2, speak to churches that are both being influenced by false teaching. And both instances encourage us to look back to two Old Testament figures...Balaam and Jezebel.
This week we dive into the first two of the 7 letters recorded for us in Revelation 2-3. Ephesus is a church we know a lot about from Paul's journeys and the letter bearing their name. Smyrna, however, is not as well known. Both churches have some good things going for them and both are facing some challenging circumstances. Sound familiar?
Jeremy's got back-to-back lessons on this series! This time, what can we learn from the largest of the books of Poetry--Psalms.
What title does Psalms have in Hebrew? What are three takeaways can we have from this book of praise? Give a listen to find out some important reminders!
In Nehemiah chapter 1, after receiving news that the people back in Jerusalem aren't doing well, Nehemiah prays. He confesses sin, showcases repentance and asks God for mercy. It is a wonderful prayer with lots to learn.
You simply can't do a study on Old Testament prayers without spending some time with Hezekiah. Not only was he was an important king in the nation of Judah but he left behind two great examples of what it means to seek God's guidance and blessings first.
In this episode we look at two prayers by Hannah; the first in 1 Samuel 1 and the second in 1 Samuel 2. Both of these prayers give us insight into the faith of Hannah and provide us some strong application that we need to consider making to our prayer lives today.
Jeremy is inadvertently continuing a "series" on wisdom. Listen in as we dive deep into James 3:13-18!
John reminds us that because Christ was raised, we will be too (1 Cor. 15:23), and some other reminders that come when we think about the Resurrection!
Jeremy continues the series of Preaching through the Bible, pulling out applications we can make by looking at King David's family.
On a Wednesday night special service, John and then Jeremy take some time to dive deep into what we can learn from two hymns!
March 25, 2026
"Moses, Moses"; "Samuel, Samuel"; "Martha, Martha"--Jeremey recounts these and other double names in the Scriptures. What can we learn from them? Listen to the latest episode from Traders Point church of Christ to find out!
Sunday PM, March 1, 2026
John continues our monthly series of preaching through the Bible!
Sunday AM, February 22, 2026
Jeremy launches a new monthly series, "Preaching through the Bible"!
Sunday, Jan 4, 2026
In the final week of our first trimester theme, "God and Family First", we discussed the great blessings that come from being a part of God's family. The questions we discussed in our groups are as follows:
1) Discuss practical blessings that come from being in God’s family in each of the
following areas. Also, contrast each area with that of a physical family.
God as our Father
There is power in numbers (Mark 10:28-30)
Eternal relationship (Romans 8:16-17)
2) What are the benefits of thinking about: Where we were before becoming a
member of God’s family, and what God did to make that available to us?
(Galatians 4:1-7)
3) What are some obstacles to seeing and treating our spiritual brothers and sisters
as a part of our family?
4) What are some practical things that will take place if we are able to view our
spiritual brothers and sisters as a part of our family?
As we continue studying through our theme for the first trimester of "God and Family First", we spent time Sunday on the topic of raising godly, obedient children who honor their father and mother. This conversation is a recap of the discussions we had in our group Sunday evening. The questions we discussed are below for reference.
-
What is the long-term impact – in the church, in our homes, in our communities – of framing, or reframing, godliness, honor and obedience as the norm for our children as they grow up? (Ephesians 6:1-3, Judges 2:8-12)
-
As parents, how can we best deal with the immense pressure to cultivate faith within our children as they grow? And, how can we (the church) support one another in those efforts?
-
What does Godly discipline within a home that helps lead a child to honor and obey their parents look like? What does it not look like? (Josh 4:19-24, Prov 29:15, Prov 13:24)
-
Titus 2:4 says “…that they (the older women) admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children…”. Doesn’t loving our children just come naturally? Why, and in what ways, does it need to be taught from one generation to the next?
First of all, huge apologies for the audio quality. We had a recording mishap. With that said, this represents our recap of the discussions had last Sunday evening about saving our households. The questions we were discussing were as follows:
1) At the time of Noah, his world was said to be incredibly wicked, full of people with evil
hearts. Is our world the same or different than that? What kinds of wickedness must we
be aware of that can get in the way of our family’s goal of salvation?
(Consider: Genesis 6:5)
2) What are the biggest challenges that we face in believing that our time on this earth is
temporary? (either death, or Christ’s return) & What level of impact will believing in that
truth (that life is temporary) have in the way we look at our families.
(Consider: 2 Peter 3: 8-13)
3) As parents God has placed upon us the task of bringing our children up in the “Training
and admonition of the Lord”. What are some “good” (not evil) things that can distract us
from that one main goal? & What are some ways that we can deal with those things?
(Consider: Deuteronomy 6:1-9)
4) How can these same principles and beliefs play a role, not just the way that we look at
our families, but also in the way we look at reaching the lost?
(Consider: Romans 14:8-12)
Continuing with our theme of God and Family First, our topic for this week's group discussion was marriage. The four questions we addressed in our sessions were:
1. What are some general ways in which our society, or culture, steps outside of
God’s design for the marriage relationship? & What is it about those ways, that
can be so tempting for God’s people to do the same?
(Consider Romans 1:18-32)
-
Describe some ways that spouses can go about making their relationship
secondary instead of primary. & How can those things bring about damage to the
marriage?
(Consider Ephesians 5:22-31) -
Why would God be so emphatic about the permanency of marriage? Is divorce
really the “easy way out”? What are some practical things to consider to make
sure “divorce” never even becomes an option for a marriage?
(Consider Malachi 2:16) -
Is sexual sin more prevalent in our day than in the past? How does this kind of
sin damage marriage? What are some practical ways to avoid it?
(Consider 1 Corinthians 6:18; 7:1-5)
This is the second recap episode in our series on God and Family First. On the 1st and 3rd Sunday nights of the month we are gathering in groups to discuss some very practical application from the sermon Sunday morning. This week, our topic is Dating and Choosing a Spouse. John, Tim and Keith each led one of the discussion groups and then shared some of the main takeaways in this episode.
These short episodes each week will serve as a recap of some of the main discussion topics from our 1st and 3rd Sunday night group discussions. Our theme for the first trimester of the year is God and Family First!
We've reached the end of the book! Mark concludes his account in a fitting manner...succinctly but thoroughly. Today we discuss the ressurection and ascension back into heaven and wrap up this year on the podcast!
Chapter 15 brings us to the tragic, yet triumphant, culmination of Jesus' time on earth. The Jews have worked a mob into a frenzy around Jesus and now the Roman government is brought in to finish the job.
Chapter 14 takes on a different tone than the previous chapters. Jesus has been tackling some very heavy and serious teaching but this chapter, while covering a lot of serious events and pieces of teaching, focuses heavily on the narrative as Jesus nears the cross.
Chapter 13 is a challenging chapter wherein Jesus addresses a potentially frightening upcoming event...the destruction of Jerusalem. But the underlying principle that Jesus wants all of us to consider is the need to be prepared.
Jesus is now in Jerusalem and His interactions with those who oppose Him are ramping up! In this chapter Jesus has conversations with the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the Scribes - all of which are trying to trap him.
Chapter 11 marks a significant event for Jesus as He walks into Jerusalem - the home of the Pharisees. They have been following Him around, trying to trap Him and discredit Him, now He is at their front door.
So much is packed into each chapter as Mark tries to record the movements and the interactions of Jesus. This chapter includes teaching on marriage and divorce, pride, riches and more.
There is A LOT to cover in Mark 9! We did our best to get through it all but please do yourself a favor and carve out 10 minutes to read this amazing chapter. The transfiguration, the casting out of a demon that the Apostles couldn't handle, Jesus predicting His death and resurrection and so much more!
It continues to be astonishing how compassionate Jesus is in the midst of crowds and multitudes demanding His time and attention. Chapter 8 not only includes more miracles but also includes very profound teaching about the dangers of influential people and Jesus' upcoming rejection and death.
This chapter begins with an interaction between Jesus and some Pharisees that take issue with the lack of attention being shown by the disciples to the traditional/ceremonial washing of hands that is done by the Jews prior to eating. This opens the door for some teaching on what truly makes one clean or unclean...and, spoiler alert, it's not what goes in, it's what comes out!
So much happens in Mark 6! It's difficult to wrap our minds around all that is recorded for us...better yet try to discuss it all in 20 minutes! But one thing that keeps coming to the surface is the compassion that Jesus has for people; even putting them above His own needs.
We continue our study through Mark this week with a chapter that tells the stories of Jesus casting out demons and raising a young girl from the dead. Both remarkable in their own right and both demonstrating Jesus' great power of both the physical and the spiritual realms.
Mark doesn't include as many parables as some other gospel writers do but chapter 4 is a grouping of those parables that provide us with some important teaching. The words of God are powerful and they can produce almost unthinkable greatness when falling on hearts that are searching!
Chapter 3 picks up right where chapter 2 left off...with conflict centering on the Sabbath. But Mark also continues to provide us with vivid language describing the masses of people that surrounded Jesus almost at every turn. But through it all, Jesus stays true to his purpose.
Chapter 2 continues to showcase the constant demand for Jesus's time and attention that He was facing. And a new theme is introduced that will be important to follow...authority. As Jesus collides with the Pharisees on many occasions the focal point of their conflict will be authority. In this chapter, Jesus will lay claim to the authority He has to forgive sins and the authority He has over the Sabbath.
We're beginning a brand new study through the book of Mark today that will take us all the way through the end of the year. Chapter 1 hits the ground running with a fast paced account of Jesus beginning his ministry.
Our final episode of this series takes us to chapter 6 of 1 Timothy. Paul concludes his letter to Timothy with some summary remarks about guarding and protecting what is true and avoiding those things that are "falsely called knowledge". There is so much practical application for us today from this entire book but especially chapter 6!
The theme of structure and order within the Lord's church is continued in chapter 5. And the beauty of that structure and order is seen as the physical needs of even the most vulnerable within the church are met.
It can't be overstated how much Paul cares for Timothy and wants to see him succeed in the important role he's been given in the Lord's kingdom. This chapter serves as both a warning as well an encouragement to Timothy and to us. We need to be prepared for false teachers. And Timothy...don't neglect your own spiritual growth and nourishment in this work.
Paul continues to build on the importance of order and structure within the Lord's church by laying out some qualifications for those who will take on a role of leadership. Elders and Deacons alike are to be faithful men of God who understand the importance of their role and have proven themselves prepared!
Chapter 2 begins with some instructions around prayer and builds on the desire that God has for His church to exude propriety, structure and order so that godliness can shine forth.
Paul and Timothy shared a very close and unique relationship with Paul serving as a mentor/father-figure to the younger Timothy. Now, years after years of working together, Paul has left Timothy in Ephesus to work with and teach a group of Christians that Paul, himself, spent a lot of time with over the years.
This is both a very personal letter and one that contains a great deal of encouragement for a young evangelist and important principles for the church today.
The chapter concludes with a contrast between behaviors and traits that lead to disunity and those that strengthen the bond that we have with one another and with Christ.
Our study this week focuses on the gifts and abilities that God provides and the role they play in the unity we discussed last week.
This powerful and remarkable chapter centers around the ideal of unity and God's plan for the church to grow and flourish. This is the first of three episodes in which we'll study through Ephesians 4 together.
The last one! We conclude our study of Abraham this week by looking at one of his las acts recorded for us; securing a wife for his son Isaac. There are lessons about purity and holiness and lessons about priorities and faithfulness among many others.
We could talk for hours about all the lessons and foreshadowing contained in the story of Abraham being told to sacrifice his son Isaac. But we refrained and kept it short! Nonetheless, this is a remarkable story that makes us take a closer look at our faith as well as God's plan for each of us.
The son of promise is born! Isaac's birth has been anticipated for a long time but it's still hard to comprehend given the respective ages of Sarah and Abraham. But, as usual, God leaves no doubt who is control!
Waiting on God is a big theme throughout scripture and it's a challenging undertaking at times but it's vitally important for God-fearing people to learn. Sarah and Abraham failed as they waited for the child of promise to be brought into their lives. They became impatient and decided to take matters into their own hands. The story that bring Hagar and, eventually, Ishmael, onto the scene is a sad one but one that holds many important lessons for us.
The relationship between Abraham and Lot is a fascinating one. In Genesis 13 we get a glimpse at the challenges that existed between the two men and their herdsmen...but more importantly, we see how Abraham navigated that conflict and displayed a great deal leadership in an effort to preserve peace.
We're discussing in more detail the three main promises that God made to Abraham as recorded at the beginning of Genesis 12. If you only take one thing away from the discussion this week, let it be this: God keeps His promises! He kept the ones He made to Abraham and He'll keep the ones He makes to us as well.
Today's topic centers around the directive God gives Abraham to leave his homeland and the faith Abraham demonstrated by doing just that! He truly was a man who walked by faith...literally! I pray that all of us can learn from his example and do the same in our lives today.
We're beginning a brand new series this week on the life of Abraham! God has preserved much of his story for us and the application that we can make from his life and his interactions with God abound! Today serves as a bit of an introduction to Abraham and his place in Biblical history. Enjoy!
This is it! We are finishing our study through the Sermon on the Mount today. It's been a tremendous study personally and our hope is that you have benefited from it as well. We're picking up in verse 15 of chapter 7.
Chapter 7 begins with another very clear warning to those who are more focused on the righteousness of others instead of their own! Kalvin Johns is with us again this week to help us navigate through the beginning of chapter 7. It's a powerful and challenging text that demands our attention!
We're finishing chapter 6 this week...and we've got a special guest on the show; Kalvin Johns. Kalvin preaches for the church in San Francisco and was in town visiting and joined us to share his thoughts on this section of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus is going to begin drawing things to a close....but He's still focused on issues of the heart!
We start chapter 6 today and Jesus is going to come down hard on hypocrisy! Whether in charitable deeds, praying or fasting, the Pharisees had been guilty of doing these things to be seen by men. When in fact, as Jesus points out, God values sincerity.
As we conclude chapter 5, don't forget what Jesus said in v. 20. The Pharisees are not your standard for righteousness. Love like Jesus loves. Be perfect just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
It's not just about oaths, promises or swearing...it's about integrity. It's about honesty. It's about morality. Jesus wants us to look inward and examine our hearts and look to him as our standard for righteousness.
Continuing in the same line of thought from last week, Jesus uses the marriage relationship to illustrate just how crucial matters of the heart are. Adultery is/was/and will always be sinful! It was one of the commandments! You have to commit adultery to be guilty of adultery, but you don't have to commit adultery to be guilty of sin. Jesus is asking us, again, to look inward and examine our hearts!
Jesus is interested in our hearts. When our hearts are aligned with Him then our actions will follow. The Jews had perverted God's law in such a way that they had begun looking at it backwards....check the boxes and your relationship with God will be what it should. Jesus shakes things up as He begins challenging their way of thinking and their understanding of righteousness!
The Law. Jesus will be accused time and time again of breaking the law, of disrespecting the law...but He makes it very clear at the outset of His ministry that that is not His intention at all!
We continue our study through the sermon on the mount with Jesus pointing to each of us and telling us that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. But what does that mean and what responsibility does that carry?
We begin a journey through the sermon on the mount today with a deep dive into the Beatitudes. This foundational teaching from Jesus is just as powerful and challenging today as it would have been 2000 years ago!
The next example of a soldier for God is David. There are many examples of his readiness and preparation as a soldier throughout his life but non better than the story of David and Goliath found in 1 Samuel 17!
We've spent a few weeks in Ephesians 6 talking about the spiritual war we are engaged in and how God has prepared His people for that battle. Now we're going to spend some time looking at some examples of that and first on the list is Joshua!
We conclude the conversation from Ephesians 6 today with a discussion about the full armor of God and the practical manner in which we are to be equipped and ready to fight!
Paul concludes his letter to the christians in Ephesus with this powerful picture of a soldier, fully equipped, for the battle at hand. What comfort it is to know that God has prepared us in ever way to STAND!
We're starting a new series today that mirrors our theme for the first trimester of the year...Soldiers of Christ! We're going to spend a few weeks unpacking that concept and today we begin in Ephesians 6.
This is it. The last episode in our series! We've spent 3 months studying through a few hours of Jesus' life and the profound impact that it had, not only on those present, but on generations since. The crucifixion scene is gut-wrenching but it is ultimately a story of victory!
While we finished chapter 17 last week, we thought it would be appropriate to put on a bow on our study by doing a couple episodes on chapters 18-19. Everything that we've been discussing over the past 3 months (just a few hours for them) culminates with Jesus' arrest and crucifixion. It's a powerful story!
We finish chapter 17 today with Jesus praying for us! He prays for unity and reminds us of the love that God has for us.
As we continue to study John 17, Jesus turns his attention to praying for His disciples. He knows they will face trying times but also knows with confidence that they can find peace and comfort in unity with Him and the Father!
Today represents the first of three episodes covering chapter 17. Jesus turns the focus of His conversation from the disciples to the Father and the two share a very special moment in the first 5 verses.
The end of chapter 16 represents the conclusion of the conversation between Jesus and His disciples. He wants to make sure they are as prepared as they can be for His departure.
We start chapter 16 today. As difficult as it will be on the disciples for Jesus to leave, He tries to help them see the great benefit of Him leaving...because that means the Helper will come!
We finish chapter 15 with a discussion of the comfort found in a meaningful relationship with Jesus as well as His words of preparation to the apostles who are going to experience the hatred of the world first hand. But don't worry, He says...it's not you, it's me!
Today, we start chapter 15 and unpack the illustration that Jesus uses to describe the relationship between us and Him. He is vine and we are the branches!
Today we finish chapter 14...and what a finish it is! A helper is promised and with it comes the reassurance that an even closer relationship with Jesus and the Father awaits those who are obedient to the gospel of Christ!
We're beginning chapter 14 with Jesus telling the apostles to not be discouraged! There is great comfort and peace found within the difficult message that Jesus has for his followers. I hope this text helps all of us find that same peace and comfort today.
As we finish John 13 today, it's important to remember how emotional this time was for both Jesus as well as his apostles. Jesus is dealing with the reality of what's about to happen and the apostles are on the receiving end of some very specific warnings and deep teachings from Jesus. This study is so rich and so powerful and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we do!
Today we begin a new series looking at the last few hours of Jesus' life as recorded by the gospel writer John. Our focus, in this episode, will be John 13:1-18; a beautiful and powerful example of servitude and humility that Jesus displays for his disciples and an example that you and can and should follow today.
In this final episode of the series we continue our discussion from last week about principles that should be on the mind of everyone seeking to serve as a leader. Again, while much of the conversation is focused on Elders within a local body, the applications are transferrable to any position of leadership you may find yourself!
As we begin to wrap this series on leadership we want to discuss some very practical points of application that anyone in a position of leadership, striving to be a godly leader, should consider. While much of the conversation is geared toward Elders in a local church, the principles apply to any role of leadership you might undertake.
Whatever type of leadership role you find yourself in it's important to embody leadership styles consistent with what God wants and expects. We look specifically at 3 different characteristics today that all center around selflessness, genuine love for others and a willingness to remain humble.
We've all witnessed, or perhaps been, poor leaders. Leaders in title, but certainly not the type of leaders that engender trust or make others want to follow them. This episode is all about recognizing those negative leadership styles and characteristics and then making sure that we don't become that type of leader or allow ourselves to be led by a self-seeking leader.
This week's episode is part 2 of the discussion from last week in which we began our series on leadership by looking at some godly examples from scripture. Today we dive into the characteristics of David, Paul and Philemon that made each of them powerful and important leaders.
We're beginning a new series this week on leadership. Over the next several weeks we'll discuss what the Bible has to say about characteristics and qualities of godly leaders in our homes, communities, local churches and more. We're going to begin by looking at 6 examples of godly leaders: Moses, Joshua and Nehemiah this week. David, Paul and Philemon next week. We'll be using the workbook "Leadership: The Crisis of our Time" by Wendell Winkler as a template for our discussions. Enjoy!
Nearly as soon as Jesus was born He became a target. His mere presence in the world represented a perceived threat to Herod's status and control that lead him down a path of irrational and immoral decisions. History will tell of us of his wickedness and there are some pretty important lessons to be learned from his behavior.
The pages of Esther offer so many powerful stories and examples of courage, faith and leadership. But they also introduce us to Haman...a wicked, self-centered and evil man with vengeance in his heart and pride that lead to his ultimate death. He's the subject of the conversation today!
Ahab and Jezabel...the evil power couple! Their story is one filled with wickedness, deceit, murder and sadness. So what can we take from a story like that today? Let's find out together!
The story of the Exodus is a remarkable display of God's power and His faithfulness to His people. But it also contains the story of one of the most stubborn and prideful leaders you'll ever encounter...Pharaoh!
There is no more infamous villain in the history of the world than our adversary, Satan. He's mentioned numerous times in scripture and, while we'll probably always have some questions that will have to go unanswered, there is a lot we can learn about him and his evil intent.
These two women demonstrate a level of faith, commitment and understanding that we should all strive to emulate!
Mary had to deal with circumstances that no other human who has ever lived had to deal with! And yet she walked by faith. She gave birth to the son of God, raised the son of God and ultimately watched Him die on the cross and there are a lot of lessons to be learned through a study of her story!
The only woman judge in the book of Judges but she certainly left her mark! A woman of courage, a born leader and someone whose willingness to act on her faith hi-lights quite an amazing story!
Loyal. Hard working. Virtuous. Loving. Those are just a few of the words that describe Ruth. Her story is a fascinating one and we hope you get as much out of the discussion as we did!
Hannah's story may be contained to just two chapters but this amazing woman has a lot to teach us about how to live a Godly and faithful life!
This is it! The last episode of the "Friend of the Father" series! We wrap things up today and review some of the key takeaways from the last 16 weeks. Don't worry though, the podcast will continue on! We'll announce a brand new topic next week so please be sure to keep tuning in.
Peter is a passionate, bold and even impulsive person yet he was someone who allowed Christ to mold him and shape him into a man that took the gospel to thousands! Today we're going to look a little more closely at his relationship with Jesus and make some application to ourselves.
The relationship between God and David wasn't always smooth but David was a man willing to bare his soul before God and that vulnerability served him well in both the highest points of his life and the lowest.
The relationship between Moses and God is nothing short of extraordinary! But what lessons can we learn and apply to our own relationship with God through their story?
Today we discuss the importance of both assembling together to worship as well as the importance of spending time with one another in casual and social settings.
Who are your friends? Do they challenge you to be more like the world or more like God? This isn't just a topic for kids...we can all benefit from thinking seriously about who we allow to have influence in our lives.
What does it mean to meditate according to the scriptures? The answer might surprise you a little! But it's an act that we can all benefit from and should practice regularly!
Much of our time has been spent thinking about how we talk and communicate to God. Now it's time to turn our attention to how He talks to us and how important it is to listen when God speaks.
What does it mean to revere God? What does it mean to fear God? What role do those play in our relationship with Him? We tackle those questions and more this week!
Today we look at the ultimate example of how we can draw closer to God through intentional and meaningful communication with Him - Jesus.
David is an amazing character study; particularly as it pertains to his relationship with God!
Hezekiah is such a great example of what it looks like to talk to God as we would to a dear friend.
Today we discuss God's unending love for us that gives us the opportunity be set free from sin!
March 6, 2021
1) What does idolatry look like today?
2) Did Paul only pray three times for his torn in the flesh to be removed or is that language symbolic?
3) Is giving a commandment to be done on the first day of the week?
4) Are we sinful creatures?
Should I continue praying for illnesses?
Is dancing a sin?
Deciphering Bible translations - Which translation should I use?
I want a relationship with God, but I feel like I don't. What do I do?
John Morgan brings us a lesson on what our relationship with God should include. This is the first in a series of lessons based on Traders Point's theme for 2021 titled "Engaged and Involved".
