Luke 12:13-31 - Life does not consist of an abundance of possessions. Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Greed & covetiousness are so pervasive in a culture/economy based on more, more, more, consume, consume, consume. We st
Acts 9: Absurd Commands but God asks us to do it anyway. There are 3 shifts: Persecutor to Chosen Instrument, Only for Israel to For the Gentiles too, Prominence to Suffering. Obedient faith goes, even with the fear. The pattern: Pray, Answer,
If we seek to build a Christian Nation, we are not seeking to build the Kingdom of God - we're only building ourselves. If Jesus had wanted to build a Christian nation, He would have done it then. He would not have waited until now and left if

Luke 10: "Love is the only door out of the dungeon of self." (George MacDonald).Welcome & love of neighbor don't happen by accident, either does neglect or refusal of neighbor. We have to do the work of welcome & love of neighbor, and it takes

Matthew 12:9-23 - David had more missteps, disasters & failures than he had bright, shiny outcomes, yet he is described as a "man after God's own heart". It's a story of a real, complicated life & a real faith. "The Word became flesh and dwelt
Psalm 18 & 2 Samuel 22:17-28 - God reaches into the depths to rescue us. He delights in us because of who He is, not because of anything we have done.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bearingwitness/support
2 Samuel 21: Who has not sought God more in need than in abundance?Saul was zealous for Israel & Judah - he was a patriot. It brought distraction on their nation & others. David takes responsibility and listens for actions that were not his ow
2 Samuel 11-12: David had many opportunities to turn away from his poor choices. He had lost himself and was not following God any more. Uriah holds integrity and Nathan calls David out for what he did. They speak truth to power regardless of t
1 Samuel 30 - "They didn't earn that!" "They don't deserve that!" That's how we see things, especially in America. David understands God's radical generosity. Everything belongs to God. All will share. God has a soft spot for the lowest, the le
1 Samuel 25 - David is not a role model for how to live but a story of a raw, human person who is open to returning to God when he has gone astray. Sometimes the wilderness will overtake us - but beauty interrupts! Abigail is of import & intell
1 Samuel 17 - Goliath... What is your frame? What are you focusing on? The Israelites were filled with fear. David was filled with the experience of the Living God. In our day, the Church has gone to war with culture because our frame has been
We have a tendency in the modern church toward Gnosticism, the idea that body (flesh) is bad and spirit is good. We see this in the way church people talk about the sacred and the secular. But that would be foreign to the biblical writers, beca
We live an embodied faith, not above the fray but real. "We want a king." "No you don't." "Yes, we do." "Fine." God is our King. When we ask for another king, we have stopped trusting in God as our leader, protector... We are called to Listen,

1 John 4:7-12: We are being called out to be brought back to loving as Christ loves. If the way we live, spend, vote etc... are based in fear, we are not living in the way of Jesus. God is love and Love casts out all fear. Do we live in the way
