Love Bravely

Love Better

Diptheria, Jeroboam's downfall, and an indomitable will. This week we learn to be brave. This episode is the eighth installment in a ten-part series on learning to love with all our heart, part of a broader goal this year to study the greatest commandments – to love the Lord (and our neighbor) with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. In every account of the gospels, the command to love always begins with the heart… and if you are going to make a difference in this world, it is going to take some heart to make that happen.

PIANO: The loud and soft God. "The Piano Shop on the Left Bank." Sonatas. The "Big" keyboard.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! The piano, perhaps more than any other instrument, changed the way music is played. As with a lot of things I tried as a child, I’d be a better person now if I had worked harder at it. Today we’ll discuss where the piano got its name and what it has in common with God; the challenge for an American trying to buy a piano in Paris; the pressure that comes from playing the toughest music in the world, and how to overcome it; and a game that won’t fit in my house but that I would gladly play – especially with Tom Hanks.

Your Gathered Power

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! My kiddo, Luke, preached a sermon the other day that featured this opening quote: “Nor does a pure-minded man fall suddenly into crime by stress of any mere external force; the criminal thought had long been secretly fostered in the heart, and the hour of opportunity revealed its gathered power.” James Allen (As A Man Thinketh) When you replace the word "Crime" with "Sin" and "Criminal" with "Sinful" it really hits home. We each and all make quick, unintended mistakes. But for the most part we bounce back quickly. However

Psalm 105

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

This is a historical Psalm. We studied Psalm 78 previously and it has two points. God's goodness to Israel and Israel's sin against God. This psalm emphasizes only God's goodness to Israel. Psalm 106 will emphasize Israel's sin against God. Israel's sin looks all the more evil in contrast to God's goodness and God's grace to Israel looks all the more amazing against Israel's sin. 105:1-7 A call to Israel to praise God. vs. 5 calls Israel to remember God's miracles or marvels. This is little to ask since God remembers Israel in vs. 8, 42. 105:8-15 God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob 105

Love's Walls

Love Better

A trip to the water's edge, the Spartan's greatest rivals, and two walls that changed the course of history. This episode is the seventh installment in a ten-part series on learning to love with all our heart, part of a broader goal this year to study the greatest commandments – to love the Lord (and our neighbor) with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. In every account of the gospels, the command to love always begins with the heart… and today, we are going to look at what happens when our hearts need walls to go up and come down.

MOZART: Prodigies. "Mozart and Constanze." Too many notes. Lacrimosa.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is one of those great ones, like Ludwig von Beethoven, where the last name is all you need to identify him. Like Einstein, or Shakespeare, or Washington. This week we’ll discuss childhood genius and the good and bad things that come with it; Mozart’s less than ideal marriage and its lessons for us; the precise number of notes that a piece of music should include (if there is one – spoiler alert, there isn’t); and a way you can build on the work of Mozart today on your game table. Hal Hammons serves as preacher a

I'm With You

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Welcome to my personal favorite Bob Goff story. And that's saying something. His life has been incredibly interestingly lived. I linked to his books last week. Today I'll add a link to an episode from 2022 that featured his work in Uganda: Be Secretly Incredible. Part of being incredible is loving people. Not just from a distance through prayer. Not just when you agree with them. Not just when they do what you want them to do. But because of who they are - people made by God and in His likeness. And because of who you are

S4 E3 - Seeing Something for the Thousandth Time for the First Time

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail I was driving around Danville with a friend who had never been to my little town before when he said, "Danville: quite simply the nicest town." I asked why he said that, and he pointed to the water tower. Friends, I have driven past this tower a thousand times and never seen that. He noticed it after seeing it once with fresh eyes. That is often how scripture discovery goes. We might have read something a thousand times and still not noticed something, but then someone brings something to our attention that we just have never seen. When you think you've got something down, go
