The Reign of God

8/21/2023

When it comes to the Biblical view of "The Kingdom," it is important to remember that God has always been the ruler, His reign is eternal and universal, and His kingdom encompasses all of creation. But the reign of God has many dynamic features throughout the Bible. From the high view of God's eternal reign to how this reign worked during Israel's days to the reign of Christ in the New Era of Christianity, the reign of God is essential to Bible understanding. Join guest Jamie Thompson and Jonathan Edwards consider this rather large topic with a conversational approach.

Overcoming Addictions

7/24/2023

Paul wrote to the Galatians, “Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness.” We often make the mistake of trying to keep it quiet and fix it ourselves. We have a tendency to try to go it alone. Perhaps this tendency is a result of fear of being exposed and vulnerable or experiences where we’ve tried to tell our story only to be hurt when someone else mishandled that information. We must learn how to find and connect with those with whom we can trust our vulnerability. Join guest Michael Fancher and host Jonathan Edwards as they talk about overcoming addictions.
