In these middle days, life is messy, scary, and can seem dire. We look around us and see things that cause dismay, prompting us to wonder if this is the end. It is important to remember that we know the end of the story - and this is not the end! In this episode of Upside Down Living, we turn to loving our neighbor, one impactful way we can live as people who know how the story of life ends.
“Empowered by Jesus, the Seventy-two advance into Satan’s territory as people believe the Gospel. Until Christ’s return, we, too, remain in this war zone, where Satan does everything he can to destroy us and halt the Gospel’s advance. In Christ, however, we are protected. In Him, we cannot lose, even though put to death, for in the end Christ grants us eternal life.
As Jesus sets his face like flint for the journey to Jerusalem, his teaching takes a
turn. There is an urgency to his call for repentance, and a narrower focus on what it means to be a disciple. He begins to
prepare his disciples for his departure.
Let's explore the nature of Jesus’ understanding of life lived here and now in light of the Kingdom of God, and this episode focuses on the presence of good and evil in this world.
Wrapping up our series "How NOT to Read the Bible", we look at criticism and questions about the differences between the seeming character of the Old Testament God versus the New Testament Jesus. Listen in for an honest culmination of this interesting and important series!
We often hear criticisms of Christianity by some who think the religion is intolerant because it claims Jesus as the only true path to God. Listen to this week's podcast and learn more about why Jesus settles this claim and the reason might surprise and encourage you!
Through this series, we examine the nature of the Bible generally, and some of the controversial and difficult stories and messages in the Bible specifically.
There is a difference between what the Bible teaches and what it touches. This Mother's Day episode of Red Hill on the Go offers a fascinating look at a highly discussed topic - women.
If we read and study the Bible appropriately, understanding its contextual and cultural environments, we will gain a deeper and proper understanding of God’s Word, as well as a deeper and stronger faith in the One whom the Bible reveals—Jesus Christ!
Understanding the Bible, its message and mission, is the foundation of growth in the Christian life and faith. For many years, the Bible has been called “the Good Book,” reflecting its ethical, moral, and religious teachings that informs and guides one’s relationship with God and the right way to live. For people of faith, the Bible is God’s very Word—Holy Scripture, which is highest authority in the Christian life.
On Easter, we celebrate the most important event in the history of the world: The resurrection of Jesus from the grave, conquering Satan, sin and death. The death and resurrection of Jesus is the center of our Christian faith and the foundation of hope in our lives. The Bible says that if Jesus did not rise, then our hope is in vain and our faith is futile (1 Corinthians 15.17). On this Easter Sunday, our prayer is that you know the risen Jesus and experience His power of a changed life.
Consistency matters. It is the main key to success but often one of the pitfall for those striving to get ahead. We magnify Jesus when we as His people grow in relationship with Him.
"Remember the Sabbath by keeping it holy." While we often think of work first, rest later, God didn't set up our rhythms that way. Instead, Jesus showed us a habit of solitude and rest first, followed by work. As we look to model our lives after His example, let's focus our attention on solitude: not simply being alone, but being alone with God.
Praying gives us direction in a confusing world. As we develop the keystone habits of Jesus, we need to be continually directed by God through prayer. Today's message shows us that prayer ought to be a first response, rather than a last resort.
The Scripture has a lot to say about who you are in God's sight. You have an incredibly loving God! This doesn't guarantee that life will be easy. But knowing Jesus, loving Him, and being used by Him is the life promised to you and to all who believe.
We were created in God's image so from the beginning, we've been created for community.
Pastor Seth kicks off our Lenten series - the BEING Challenge - with an overview of what our identity is rooted in with complete security, and how we might follow Jesus and imitate His habits.
The Church bears witness to God’s legacy of faithfulness witnessed through Moses, Elijah, and Jesus. Together, we confess Jesus to be the Son of God, to whom we must listen.
We will be influenced by one culture or another. "Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves."
Who Is God?
• If you are anxious, he is your peace. • When you are hurting, he is your comforter. • If you are lacking, he is your provider. • When you’ve sinned, he is your righteousness. • Our God your strength when you are weak. • He’s your hope when you’re hopeless. • He’s your light when the world grows dark.
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” – King David (Psalm 23.4)

“The Christian faith is foolishness. It says that God can do anything and yet makes himself so weak that either his Son had no power or wisdom or else the whole story is made up… If I had come to Bethlehem and seen it, I would have said: ‘This does not make sense. Can this be the Messiah? This is sheer nonsense.’ I would not have let myself be found inside the stable” -Martin Luther
In the Christmas story, the Shepards exhibit how we can have JOY in the midst of all circumstances. True joy is the consistent act of trusting in God’s grace and promises and knowing that you can have inner contentment and purpose in spite of your circumstances.
Faithfulness - Trusting in God’s faithfulness, I seek to honor God in words and deeds, particularly through establishing relationships where I can be relied upon.
In times full of competing influences, the Magi in the Christmas story demonstrates a challenge to the World’s wisdom. They illustrate an example of how to surrender our lives, actions, and thoughts to Jesus.
