SUBTRACTION, with Steve Wolfgang

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Steve Wolfgang is back, helping us with math lessons of sorts from God’s word. This part of our discussion relates to subtraction — the unfortunate but often necessary process of taking souls out of fellowship. When is it necessary? And how do we carry it out when it is? By the way, perhaps I should have mentioned it before, but Steve was struggling mightily with a sinus infection at the time of this recording; he would appreciate it if you would not hold his vocal quality against him.

ADDITION, with Steve Wolfgang

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Steve Wolfgang preaches for the Downers Grove church in the Chicagoland area. He is well-known throughout the brotherhood for his grasp on historical trends throughout the centuries. This week I’m harnessing his abilities in a somewhat unconventional way, using a math theme. We start here by discussing the way we add people to our fellowship and the role local leadership must play in doing it right — including choosing to not do it at all.

Revelation 9 - Daily Bible Devotional

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Revelation 9 The fifth angel sounds his trumpet, and a star falls from heaven to earth. He is given the key to the bottomless pit and opens it, releasing smoke that darkens the sky and a swarm of locusts with power like scorpions. These locusts do not harm plants but torment people who lack the seal of God on their foreheads. Their king is called Abaddon in Hebrew and Apollyon in Greek. The sixth angel then sounds his trumpet, and four angels bound at the Euphrates are released to kill a third of mankind. A vast army of h

Revelation 8 - Daily Bible Devotional

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Revelation 8 The Lamb breaks the seventh seal, and there is a profound silence in heaven for about half an hour, creating a sense of awe and anticipation. Seven angels stand before God, each given a trumpet to sound. Another angel offers incense on the golden altar, and smoke rises with the prayers of the saints. The first trumpet brings hail and fire mixed with blood, burning a third of the earth and its vegetation. The second casts a fiery mountain into the sea, turning a third of the sea into blood. The third causes a

Fixing Family Patterns | "Key to a Healthy Relationship"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

262 | Rewrite Your Family Story in Christ Have you ever opened your mouth and heard your parents come out? It happens to the best of us! This week, we’re looking at the "base operating system" of our families to see if there are any glitches we need to fix. We dive into the "copy and paste" drama of biblical families, asking why Abraham’s deceit and Isaac’s favoritism kept showing up in the next generation. Is it nature, nurture, or just a lack of updates? Thankfully, we don't have to stay stuck in a loop. We explore how Joseph "flipped the script" and how Jesus — the ultimate pattern breaker

S5 E38- Chopped!

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail One of my runs in a fantasy football league finally came to an end after 14 weeks. This is a "Chopped!" league - which means you win or you go home. If you lose even once by having the lowest score in the league, you're done for the season. No second chances. No next week. No chance for redemption. How blessed are we that we do not serve a "one and done" kind of a God? If we were "chopped" never to be given another chance at redemption when we failed, how far would have of us ever made it in this life? As it stands, so long as we turn back to God, he's always willing to give u

The first four seals release four horsemen. The first rides a white horse, symbolizing conquest. The second rides a red horse, bringing war. The third rides a black horse, indicating economic hardship and famine. The fourth rides a pale horse, representing death, followed by Hades.

Job 5:1-16

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

5:8-16 The doxology of Eliphaz There are similar doxologies in Job 9:4-12 and 12:13-25. 5:8 But as for me, I would seek God- (Amos 5:4, 6) The Hebrew text actually says but I seek God. Is seeking God in this passage to inquire of the LORD as the word sometimes means in Gen. 25:22; Ex. 18:15; I Kings 14:5; 22:8; II Kings 1:3, 6,16; II Kings 22:18; II Chron. 32:31; Ezek. 14:7; 20:1. 5:9 Who does great and unsearchable things- 9:10; Ps. 136:4. God’s glory is beyond our ability to search or understand (Job 9:10; 11:7; 36:26; Isa. 40:28). Bildad will use the same word for searched in Job 8:8 in whi

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Revelation 5 John sees a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne, sealed with seven seals. A mighty angel asks who is worthy to open the scroll, but no one in heaven or on earth is found worthy, and John begins to weep. Then one of the elders tells him not to weep, for the Lion of the tribe of Judah has triumphed. John looks and sees a Lamb, standing as though slain. The Lamb comes and takes the scroll, and all of heaven erupts in worship. The living creatures and elders sing a new song, praising the Lamb

DISASTER: Sodom. "Icebound." My shelves. Plague, Inc.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Bad things happen in life. That's just the way it is. The question is whether we will be able to recover and build better afterward. This week we'll discuss how flirting with disaster can come back to haunt you and your family; how a man froze to death trying to get you a better deal on silk and gunpowder; how my own carpentry work led to holes in my wall and nearly a hole in my foot; and how planning your disaster properly could result in the end of the world.
