All will agree that Baptism has a central place in the life of a believer. But what does Baptism actually imply? Can you do it more than once? What about being baptized as an infant and then as an adult? What about taking a once in a lifetime trip to the holy land and being baptized again in the Jordan River? Is that ok? We invite you to let this episode be a catalyst for your own conversation about baptism.

Witness is more than just sharing the propositional truths of our faith. Witness is a way of life lived in community in a kingdom in which Jesus the Lamb is King. In this concluding episode of our Revelation series, we talk about this crucial topic because of its centrality in the book. Join us as we take a closer look at witness as worship in community.

The rapture, the millennial reign, and the importance of Israel are all central concepts to a dispensational reading of Revelation. Yet, our series on Revelation hasn’t mentioned any of them. In this episode we talk about the popularization of dispensationalism and its affects on us as we try to study the book of Revelation today.

It took until episode 4 in this series for us to ask the most fundamental of all questions! In every other book of the Bible, we ask ourselves what the book teaches us about God. Why do we not ask the same question when it comes to the book of Revelation? With Richard Bauckham as our wise guide, we dive into some of the specifics of what the book of Revelation teaches us about our trinitarian God.

Imagination is seldom used as a tool for engaging God or the Bible. Yet, it has a significant role to play in both our worship and in our reading of the Bible. Eugene Peterson embodies this reality in all of his writing – perhaps none more so than in his book on Revelation. Come join us as we use Peterson as a jumping off point to discuss Revelation through the lens of worship and imagination.

Revelation is full of symbolism, which has often led to wild speculation and confident “definitions” of each symbol. How can we make sense of the rich symbolism of this book in a way that is both faithful to the text and helpful to our present lives? Today we’ll look at some of these symbols along with an overview of the book’s structure and Revelation’s use of the Old Testament. Come join the conversation!

From defending Christian values to arguing theology, we Christians sure do a lot of fighting. But what if our ferocity really is fighting like hell would fight? If we were to take our clues from Jesus, how might we fight differently? Come join this crucial conversation as we seek to apprentice ourselves to Jesus in how we respond to those with whom we disagree.
