1d ago51:56

51:56

It's time to take another look at religion in popular culture, in particular, cults in film, and why we love telling these stories. The Wicker Man (Either Christopher Lee's 1973 classic, or Nicolas Cage's 2006 remake) is a fantastic story about a man trying to save a girl who doesn't want to be saved from the cult of her little island town. The Rit…

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 28th July 2024.Unlike the animals, all humans have a conscience that determines between right and wrong.

30:42

Delivered By Chris Tankey on 21st July 2024.Jesus says "take my yoke upon you and learn of me" {Mat 11:29}. We know that means to understand and to submit to His teachings and example.

36:21

After ragging on people who surely don't deserve the veneration they receive from faithful Christians around the world, for their questionable morality, or even dubious historicity, it's time for us to look at a heptad of saints who are genuinely good role models--at least on the surface.... For these saints (as opposed to Teresa of Calcutta), pove…

Sin Is Not The Real Problem 40:49

40:49

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 14th July 2024.When God created mankind, his intention was that the family unit would be the basis of all society. The family groups would provide for each other as God gave them the increase. Selfishness led to the first sin where Adam and Eve chose personal benefits ahead of God's plans. This sin has led to every…

Don't Fear the Reaper 38:07

2M ago38:07

38:07

Gods of the underworld are not the same as gods of death, nor are the guides the same--not even the Grim Reaper. Hades is the minder of the subterrestrial realm, just as Zeus and Poseidon are the minders of the Mountain (... and the sky) and the Sea (tough to argue for pluralizing those realms). Pluto is the same figure, adopted by the Romans AFTER…

Cover Your Shame 43:15

2M ago43:15

43:15

Religious clothing is as varied as any other kind of fashion, but there are a few common themes that we will highlight: Chastity is encouraged in modesty, and it's weird that covering your hair is more important that loose-fitting tops; weirder still when covering your hair with more hair has religious pressure on the cultural misstep. Fancy hats a…

1:11:37

If sin were ugly, the world would be a paradise. Sin has a lot of faces in religious traditions around the world, some more consequential than others. Hamartiology is the study of sin, and it looks like some folk only want to define the line so they know how close they can stand. Sin is simply the misstep or error that divides people. Some people a…

What is a church? How does a religious society really differentiate itself from any other kind of society? What does it take to become a priest of the Holy Watermelon?

God Will Not Be Mocked 28:08

4M ago28:08

28:08

Delivered By Pastor Brad Smith on 30th April 2024.The human Race is very slow to learn that mocking God comes at a great price.
