April 21 2024: Is This Seat Taken? - Michael Hidalgo 33:03

3h ago33:03

33:03

In this teaching, we discuss our insatiable desire for more in contrast with Jesus’ exhortation to pursue less. There is a subtle image Luke deals here about this man who is suffering, whose particular illness was associated with craving and desire. When he is healed, Jesus then speaks about the craving for status and prestige that exists among tho…

April 14 2024: A Lament for Everyone - Hannah Thom 28:47

4d ago28:47

28:47

The Pharisees, often seen as opponents of Jesus give him a warning about a mutual enemy, Herod Anitpas. He apparently wants Jesus dead. Jesus’ reply is not one of flattery, referring to him as a fox. In rabbinic literature, the fox was a contrast to the mighty lion, connected to deception and preying on the “chicks” to which Jesus refers. Jesus sta…

March 31 2024: The Wounds Are Still There - Michael Hidalgo (Easter Sunday) 34:42

16d ago34:42

34:42

When we first encounter the wounds of Jesus, it is horrific. He is crucified. Nails are hammered through his flesh, tearing fibers as they are forced through his hands and feet. This, of course, to hold him in place as he hangs on the cross spiraling toward death. After he breathes his last, a soldier approaches him and thrusts a spear into his sid…

The Cursed and Disgraced - Maggie Knight 35:38

29d ago35:38

35:38

Jesus is paraded through the streets to Golgatha. Once there, he is nailed to the execution stake where passersby hurl insults at him and mock him. Crucifixion was not just the most horrific forms of execution ever created, it was designed to be humiliating as well; this is why crucifixions were such public affairs. For those who wanted Jesus dead …

Why The Hearthstone Event Disappointed & How Things Can Be Improved 19:46

29d ago19:46

19:46

World of Warcraft celebrated ten years of another Blizzard title, Hearthstone, with a special limited-time in-game event that rewarded cosmetics and even a new mount.

March 17 2024: The Coronated King - Hannah Thom 30:32

30d ago30:32

30:32

Mark tells of the abuse Jesus suffered at the hands of soldiers after being flogged and dragged into the Praetorium. While the scene makes the reader wince at the sheer brutality of it all, there is also something else just below the surface: the way Mark frames the story of what happens to Jesus from the purple robe, to the crown and the homage is…

37:27

In a cultural moment where all that we had long placed our trust in seems to be eroding, we ask the question Pilate asked, “What is truth?” John details a conversation between Pilate and Jesus amidst the swirling accusations against Jesus.

March 3, 2024: I Have No Idea What You are Talking About - Michael Hidalgo 33:17

2M ago33:17

33:17

So many of us believe we have done something God could never forgive. We’ve gone too far. We’ve done too much. We’ve made too many mistakes. But if it is not true of Jesus it is not true of God. What we learn from the life of Peter is no one is beyond the forgiveness of God. Jesus tells his disciples they will all fall away, but Peter insists he is…

February 25, 2024: No Jury Needed - Michael Hidalgo 36:06

2M ago36:06

36:06

In Matthew 26, Jesus is tried before the Sanhedrin and before the Temple authorities. This is more than a passing detail; if the racket they were running was to remain, they had to get rid of this rebel named Jesus. This is what Mark tells us the people at the house of Caiaphas wanted to do: he tells the reader that there was nothing in this trial …

February 18, 2024: Under Arrest - Hannah Thom 27:19

2M ago27:19

27:19

It was night, there were torches, a dispatch of soldiers, swords, groggy disciples and a kiss of betrayal. What a painful moment for Jesus. He knew where this was all going. In the midst of the scene of Jesus being arrested, a disciple grabs a sword and cuts off the ear of the servant of the high priest. Why this? Well, apparently it was a repeat o…

February 11, 2024: You've Got to Let it Go - Michael Hidalgo 35:34

2M ago35:34

35:34

Jesus uses the metaphor of the narrow door as the way to life. While this may seem as though it makes things more difficult and demands more of us, it’s possible there is another way of seeing this. If one is to make it through a narrow door, it suggests we cannot carry much through it at all. We will need to lay things down and let other things go…

February 4, 2024: Growing Everywhere - Mattie Motl 35:49

3M ago35:49

35:49

The mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds – yet the mustard plant is the wildest of all plants. One cannot control the mustard plant, no matter how hard they try, and once it is planted and has grown the area in which it was planted can never be cleared of the plants as they will grow again and again. Jesus uses an example that defies the logic…

January 28, 2024: A Religion of Liberation - Michael Hidalgo 34:08

3M ago34:08

34:08

This week, we consider how unhealthy religion adds burdens to people- it can be something that binds people up in an oppressive way rather than liberating them. The Torah seems clear regarding work on Sabbath. So when Jesus heals a woman who has been oppressed by diseases for 18 years, we should not be surprised the legalistic religious types in th…

January 21, 2024: Wake Up! - Hannah Thom 28:43

3M ago28:43

28:43

In Luke 13.1-9, Pontius Pilate had just done the unthinkable. Apparently, his soldiers attacked worshippers in the temple while they performed their sacred rituals. One might expect heartfelt compassion from Jesus, but he doesn’t respond that way at all; rather he gives a warning of sorts. One that might lead the listener to think that maybe God wa…

January 14, 2024: The Pain of Reconciliation - Michael Hidalgo 34:56

3M ago34:56

34:56

Reconciliation is so difficult; at some point you have to admit you are wrong and work toward forgiving the person who did you wrong. For as difficult as this is, Jesus sees this as an essential part of living. The downside of this is that it can fly in the face of what we might want or even demand. It challenges all of us, whether we are those who…

Shortly after mentioning God’s presence, both Genesis 1 and John 1 speak of darkness. It is in the darkness where we find the Spirit, wind, breath of God fluttering over it like a mother bird watching intently to ensure her chicks don’t fall out of the nest or hit the ground in their first attempted take off. It is in the darkness where we find the…
