/in /by

Mr. Phil Sena showed up this week with his own idea for the podcast—completely taking it over and turning the tables by interviewing us. So, sit back and learn a little bit about what it’s like working on the Church’s publications in the effort to preach the Gospel to the world.

P.S. Apologies for the lateness of this post! We traveled to St. Louis on Friday for TWPs and, amidst good fellowship and tornado warnings, forgot to upload the YouTube video. We’ll aim to do better next week!

Podcast 137: Prophecy Comes Alive!

/in /by

Bible prophecies that the Church of God has spoken about for generations, even in the face of mockery, seem to be coming alive right before our eyes these days.

/in /by

God wants us to obey His commands even when they are difficult to obey. And, in a broken world, even the Fifth Commandment—to honor our father and mother—can present real challenges. Today, we discuss some of those challenges and how to approach them.

Also, in this episode we highlight a fantastic sermon in which Mr. Rod McNair discusses some children with a very famous—or, perhaps, infamous—father and how they ultimately honored him. You can watch it here on YouTube: “The Surprising Legacy of the Sons of Korah.”

Podcast 134: Christ’s Return Is Not (Just) About You

/in /by

If life seems good, we might be tempted to think we’d like Christ’s return to come later instead of ASAP, maybe after we’ve “lived” a little more. But with a little perspective, it becomes clear: We have every reason to pray with sincere conviction, “Your kingdom come!” Join us as we talk about it.

/in /by

It’s easy to think of Jesus Christ’s commission to do the Work of God and reach the world with the truth as something other people do. But it isn’t!

On the podcast today, we mentioned three LCN articles and an old podcast. For those interested, you can find them at the links below:

Podcast 132: Did Jesus Rise?

/in /by

If you did not believe that the Bible was the inspired word of God, would you still have cause to believe in Jesus’ resurrection? It was a real question for the Gentiles to whom Paul preached, who were unfamiliar with the Bible, and it’s a real question for many today. But if we are open to the evidence, it points to one conclusion above all others. Join us on the podcast today as we look at that evidence and ask the question, Did Jesus rise?
