Episode 176 - "With Feeling!"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Point Yourself Toward God What’s the problem with advice that starts with, “All you have to do is just...”? How are our struggles like epic beetle battles? And how do we find our special hiding place in God? In this week’s Jesus Said, we draw encouragement from the Lord’s words to Peter as he sank into the sea. And we set Poetry in Motion with two psalms that repeat the refrain, “Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me?” (Ps. 42 & 43). Then in our Reach Out segment, we talk about the quicksand in our own lives, from obsessing over sickness and death to spiraling

Psalm 81

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

In the podcast I mistakenly say that the New Moon was a weekly feast. That is incorrect. The New Moon was a monthly feast- Numbers 28:11-15. It is alluded to in the OT in several places like I Sam. 20:5, 18, 24, 27; II Kings 4:23; Isaiah 1:13-14; Amos 8:5. What does Psalm 81 teach us about God? 1. God is worthy of praise - 81:1-3 2. God rescued Israel out of Egypt- 81:6-7, 10 3. God asks that His people listen to Him - 81:8- and serve Him alone - 81:9 4. God longs for His people to do the right thing and to bless them- 81:8, 13-16. Jesus fulfills Psalm 81 81:8, 11, 13 God's people must listen

EXCITING FUTURE: Philadelphia. "Soonish." Fusion power. Space Park.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! This is the first of four episodes focusing on the future – good, bad, scary, and exciting. I’m excited about it, so I guess “The Exciting Future” is the place to start. This week we will discuss the church that excited Jesus and why it might not excite you or me; the book that got me started on this line of thought in the first place; the power of the universe and our failed efforts to find a plug that fits; and the sense of stability I get from seeing old forms in new packages. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lake

Pursuing "Mature Discipleship"

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! I chose a thumbnail for this episode after the content was recorded. It isn't actually referenced in the audio today. But I really love it. We need to be transformed. We want changed hearts and minds and lives. That means building everything around the cross of Jesus. Not the resurrection. not the ascension. The cross. The great act of power and kingdom glory was in Jesus lowest, most sacrificial moment on earth. Being a disciples means being transformed into the image and life of Christ. I fear too many of us feel like m

Episode 175 - "Do Not Be Deceived!"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Tell Yourself the Truth This week we're starting a new 3-session Guided Study called "Talking to Yourself," where we probe the depths of our thoughts. Caution: things get "really real" as we start to tell ourselves the truth! What do we learn from Jesus' teaching style about eyes and ears that don't work correctly? How does this simple phrase, "Do not be deceived," pop up throughout the Scriptures? And what are we not seeing clearly in our own lives? And as a bonus, don't miss Ryan's true feelings toward beets and Bryan's thoughts on the combination of chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla ice cr

S3 E13 - Baby Birds & Making Disciples

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail Our baby birds have finally hatched! Ava and I spent the other night just watching the momma bird feed her young, and she asked why she was doing that? I had to explain that they couldn't feed or protect themselves. The momma bird's job was not done after they were born, she still had more to do until they were grown. Well...the same applies to those who are born again and spiritual infants. Our job is not simply to get people to the water - to fulfill the rest of the great commission, we must teach & protect new babes in Christ. Don't abandon someone after they obey the gospe

CHILDBIRTH: part 1, with BJ and Kylie Sipe

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Travail is a synonym for work, especially painful, extended work. In the bible, it is often used specifically for childbirth. Perhaps “going into labor” is a more common figure of speech today. An extended period of suffering can seem unbearable, but it is forgotten in the bliss of the birth of a child. Describe some ways God works good things in us through extended hardship, and how we can find peace while waiting for the end of the journey.
