Who Are You Judging? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Unexamined moral certainty leads us into the very evil we set out to condemn. - Ever wondered how quickly outrage can feel like righteousness? This week, Rev. Seth walks through one of the darkest stories in the Old Testament, where a nation certain it's doing right marches to war without ever asking God if it is. It's not a comfortable text, but it traces how the same pattern plays out in our headlines, and our hearts, today.
Who Are You Using? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Real freedom and healing come through insisting on control, but surrender to God. - What's the difference between knowing about someone and actually knowing them? This week Rev. Seth looks at seven brothers in Acts who try to cast out a demon using a name that isn't theirs to use. It doesn't go well for them, and it raises a real question about what we're actually chasing when we want to be healed.
Who Are You Laughing At? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When we approach God on our own terms instead of his, we're the ones mocking him, not the ones being mocked. - Ever caught yourself assuming you're always the one being mocked, never the one doing the mocking? This week Rev. Seth digs into one of the strangest, most skipped-over stories in the Bible: a prophet, a group of young men, and two bears. It sounds bizarre on the surface, but underneath it is a real question about how we approach God, and whether it's ever really on our own terms.
What Are You Giving Up? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We quietly trade our closeness with God for the world's approval, convinced it won't cost us anything. - Ever caught yourself softening what you believe just to keep a room comfortable? This week Rev. Seth looks at Samson, a guy who kept giving away what mattered most in small ways he figured wouldn't cost him anything. Turns out he was wrong. It's worth asking where we're doing the same thing.
Who Do You Say I Am? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Knowing about Jesus isn't enough, we're called to know him personally and tell others what we've found. - Who do you actually think Jesus was, and how would you know if you were wrong? In his final sermon with us before heading to Wycliffe College, intern Hollis Kwan looks at the moment Peter had to answer that question for himself, and makes the case that Jesus can't stay a secondhand idea forever.
