S3 E22 - If You're Gonna Take It, You Have To Dish It

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail I pulled through Starbucks today, and the car in front of me paid for my drink. It was a small, sweet gesture - a random act of kindness. I was asked, "Would I like to pass it on?" Well, of course! How could I receive a blessing, but not turn around and also then give that same blessing? Well...such is the case with every blessing we have been given in Christ. We have been given forgiveness, grace, patience, love, and the list goes on and on. But do we take the same things God has given to us and give them to others? How can we receive such blessings but not in turn give those

Top Ten Underrated Bible Characters

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

I am sharing here the Top Ten list I did for my Facebook group, Heaven Citizens, of the characters in the Bible that I think (1) feature prominently in the story and (2) do not get much credit for it. Agree or disagree as you like -- but I hope you will agree at least that these characters deserve our respect. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the host of the Citizen of Heaven podcast.

Episode 181 - "I Have Things to Say"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Focus on Jesus’ Power How can Peter say, both “look at us” and “stop staring at us” in the same story (Acts 3)? And for that matter, how does Jesus tell us to both, “let people see your good works” and NOT to do them “to be seen” in the same sermon (Matt. 5-7)? How do we practically pivot to Jesus from ourselves? We get into a lot of challenging questions this week in a Do You Understand segment drawn from the lame man’s healing at the temple gate. It takes us from the purpose of miracles to setting our spiritual GPS to the right destination. We hope you find it encouraging and helpful! Show N

MEEKNESS: Jesus and Samson. Lou Gehrig: The Lost Memoir. The name you wear. Go Fish.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Meekness has come to mean weakness or passivity in our modern vernacular. But that’s not what it means in the Bible. And it’s not what it will mean here for the next 20 minutes. This week we will discuss the difference between the strongest man in human history and a muscle-bound oaf from the book of Judges; the frustratingly nice words from a Hall of Famer; the boastfulness of people who have done very little to boast of; and the friendliest competition in Hammons family history Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lake
