Podcast 187: Are the 7 Churches of Revelation 2 & 3 Prophesied Eras?

/in /by

Are they just letters to seven first-century congregations, containing general advice that applies to all of us, or are they all of that and more? In fact, the letters to the seven churches of Revelation 2 & 3 are indeed more: They represent prophesied, successive eras of the Church of God over two millennia, from the first century to end-times. On today’s podcast, we’ll look at some of the evidence.

Update: We forgot to add links to the resources we mentioned. Here you go!

Podcast 186: Biblical Thinking on Tattoos and Piercings

/in /by

Tattoos and body piercings seem to be on their way to becoming the norm in society. How do we think biblically about such things? What are the right questions to ask ourselves?

As we mentioned on the program, we’ve addressed tattoos before—way back in our very first season. You can find that podcast here: “Episode 8: So, If Christ Has a Tattoo, Can I Get One?” And we talked about Mr. Gerald Weston’s helpful focus on the questions we need to ask ourselves here: “Episode 39: ‘Is It OK?’ Is Not Enough.”

Podcast 185: Three Insights for the Young from Our Time at the NRB

/in /by

Sitting here in a car with Messrs. DeSimone and West, coming back from the Religious Broadcasters Convention, it hit us that some of the things we heard and experienced this week prompted some very particular thoughts concerning the teens and young adults in the Church (and those who love them). So, if you’ll put up with a little recorded-on-the-phone-and-in-the-car audio, it’s our pleasure to share those thoughts with you!

Podcast 184: All About Men’s Training Camps!

/in /by

The Living Church of God’s Men’s Training Camp weekends are phenomenal opportunities for men to come together and grow as Christians. Seen properly, they benefit not just the men who attend, but all of us. On today’s podcast, Mr. Jonathan McNair, the Director of Living Education, stops by to discuss the goals and purposes of these programs and to give us a sense of what they are like.

Also, here’s a link to the Living Education page on the Men’s Training Camps, mentioned in the video.

Podcast 183: Philadelphia, Laodicea, & the End-Time Church of God

/in /by

Received a question from a young listener about what it means to be Philadelphian or Laodicean and how that relates to us individually as a part of the Church of God. So, we crack open your Bibles with us and let’s look at the answer!

Podcast 182: Ambassadors for the Prince of Peace

/in /by

As the world descends into angry, hateful collections of people, it will be easier than we might think to join in. But blessed are the peacemakers! We are to represent a coming kingdom of peacemakers, which means we need to learn how to make peace in the small, personal worlds we’ve each been given. Today, we discuss being a peacemaker and offer three pieces of biblical advice for becoming one.

We also refer to Mr. Peter Nathan’s July-August 2016 Living Church News article, “Blessed Are the Peacemakers.” To read it, just click on the title (or here). And if you are reading this today, the day we are posting it, then we hope you have a wonderful Sabbath and a meaningful fast!

Podcast 181: They Want to Draft Your Mind…

/in /by

There is an ongoing effort—from big corporations and governments to social movements and influencers—to draft your mind to help with their causes. Many of us sign right up without realizing it. Maybe you have, too. But God desires you to be part of a different cause. Stop signing up for theirs and stay focused on His. On today’s podcast, we talk about principles to help keep us focused.

We also talk about a sermon in the episode today, but for once we can’t link to it, because it’s not out yet! But keep your eye out for it—either in services or on the Living Church of God sermon channel on YouTube, because it likely will be soon: Mr. Rod McNair’s sermon “Because Our Citizenship Is in Heaven.”
