SCI-FI: The Biblical UFO. "Out of the Silent Planet." Proof of alien life. Mission: Red Planet.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! We continue Reading Month with one of my least favorite genres. I’ll traverse the galaxy to find a good topic for the podcast if I have to. And this week I have to. We’ll cover what one Bible character did upon seeing a legitimate UFO; C.S. Lewis’s attempt to get us to find Jesus on a different planet; the “proof” of alien life and why no one seems to care very much; and my own “close encounter of the board-gaming kind.” Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas.

S3 E36 - Bidding On A Bracelet

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail A few weeks ago my wife and I attended a fundraising event to support the adoption agency Sacred Selections. I had hoped to win a beutiful bracelet for my wife in the silent auction, but I kept getting outbid by someone all night. After a while, I realized something hilarious - my wife and I had been unknowingly bidding against each other! Needless to say, we didn't leave with the bracelet. Well...as funny as that might be, do we realize that a house divided against itself cannot stand when it comes to any kingdom? That includes when we bite and devour each other as the church

My Gilligan's Island Book List

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! In part 3 of the “Books” episode, which aired earlier this month, I asked my guests, Edwin Crozier and Elizabeth Nowlin, to give me their list of books other than the Bible they would want to take with them if they were going to stay indefinitely on a desert island. If you haven’t checked it out, please do, along with the other two parts of the episode. Now it’s my turn. I shared my list live with the Heaven Citizens Facebook group, and now I’m sharing it with you. Enjoy. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Dr

S3 E35 - Prepping for the Voyage of Faith

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail We are getting ready for our road trip to North Carolina for Thanksgiving, and that means making sure the car is ready for the voyage. We're not just going down the road, we're going up into hard mountain roads that twist and turn all the way. We've got to make sure we're ready for that kind of journey. Well...how do you view your journey of faith? Jesus says that this is a serious commitment, and we need to make sure we are prepared - or else we'll end up stranded in the middle of our voyage. This is a hard road, but what is waiting for us at the end is worth every mile. #Set

S3 E34 - Broken Toes & The Body of Christ

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Hey! I'm alive! Thanks for being so patient with us - we've had everything from family issues to sickness going on the last few weeks. On top of all of that, while my wife was caring for three sick kids and her sick husband, she hit her foot and broke her toe. Now you would think, it's just a little toe, no big deal right? Wrong. It impacts everything. Well...that's exactly the way it is with the body of Christ too. How important do you see your role in the church? If you don't think it's indispensible like Paul says it is, it will directly impact your motivation to fulfill yo

SATIRE: Isaiah's take on idols. "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." Weird Al. Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! “Reading Month” turns to Satire this week, defined as the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity. And the Bible is full of it. This week we will discuss the fun God’s prophets had at the expense of idolators; a different take (to say the least) on the Pride and Prejudice story; the madcap adventures of my favorite musical satirist; and how you turn dystopian lemons into your faction’s favorite flavor of lemonade.

A Slow Fade

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! We want things fast and want them to happen on a big time scale. We want total transformation, massive amazing change, and big payouts. All of that is in reach, but the work involved to get there is rarely as instant, sizable or flashy. It turns out, being wise small is the way to big things. Something you do every day for a year will begin to completely change your life. These are awesomely powerful ideas for change. But the devil knows about them as well. He doesn't want you making a slow and steady build. Though he kno

Ep. 15 The Beatitudes

Quail Valley Church of Christ

Thank you for joining us as we begin to look at the Sermon on the Mount.

Psalm 96

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

I Chron. 16:23-33 records this virtually word for word. That chapter is describing the moving of the ark to Jerusalem. “In recapturing for us the triumphal entry of the ark to Jerusalem, the Chronicles writes out nearly the whole of this psalm, with part of two others (105, 106), as the centerpiece of his chapter” Kidner, 346. Invitations to praise are found in vv. 1-3, 7-10a, 11-12a and reasons for praise are found in vv. 4-6, 10b, 12b-13. “Three strophes in vs. 1-6, 7-10, and 11-13, each consisting of a call to praise followed by the cause for praise” Estes, 216. This Psalm truly has a unive

BOOKS, part 3: with Edwin Crozier and Elizabeth Nowlin

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Instead of shoehorning a game into this segment, I’ve decided to make my own. It’s called “Gilligan’s Island,” and here’s how it works. You’re going to spend an indefinite period of time isolated from everything and everyone. You can take five books with you, other than the Bible. And for reasons I can’t get into now, the books can’t be about building boats, satellite dishes, or luxury getaway resorts. Which ones do you choose?
