The God Man
Take a look at Numbers 21:4-9, That's what Jesus told Nicodemus to do when he considered who Jesus actually was. Nicodemus thought that Jesus had the makings of a prodigy teacher, which is why he probably went to see him under the security of the night, but Nicodemus left that conversation with...
-
Righteousness
Last week we opened a brand new series taking a closer look at one of Jesus’ most well known teachings, often referred to as the Sermon on the Mount. In this series we are taking a closer look at some of the topics that Jesus taught about that day on the mountain in northern Israel. Let’s…

The Huddle
Tonight we're opening up a brand new series called "On The Mountain" that is going to examine the sermon on the mount. But first we need to understand that we've got to climb the mountain to hear from Jesus.
-
Redeemed
In this podcast we wrap up our series "The Playlist" with a man who has some serious family history with God.
-
Don't Be Ridiculous
Psalm 23:4 says, "Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid because You are close beside me. Your rod and you staff protect and comfort me. King Saul looked at David, the young shepherd boy and told him "Don't be Ridiculous" when David offered to take on the mighty…

Raise A Flag
Starting this week we are going to take a new approach to our media. Figuring out the best way to reach our community is our goal as a youth ministry and we've found that podcasting is a great way to do this. The cool thing is that I personally love to produce the podcast. At the first of the…

Ep.46 "Woodcutters and Water Carriers"
For the Israelites to break a covenant, even one that was made under the pretense of a lie, would’ve been disobedient and would incur God’s anger. The text specifically notes here that the Israelites had failed to consult God in this matter. There were several red flags in play here that the...
-
Ep.45 "Plunder"
Jericho was a relatively small city by comparison to what we might think of as a city today, a lap around the city was a whopping 1.24 miles. But the walls were at least 12 feet tall and at some points up to 30 feet tall and around 20 feet thick. The city was fortified and served as a shelter for...
-
Ep.44 "The Next Administration"
Whenever there is a new United States President there is always a news story on what the new presidents first day in office looks like, what will be the first accomplishment that the new administration tackles in the first moments. Joshua’s first task as leader of the nation of Israel is to...
-
Ep.43 "Moses, What a life"
Then Moses went up to Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab and climbed Pisgah Peak, which is across from Jericho. And the Lord showed him the whole land, from Gilead as far as Dan; 2 all the land of Naphtali; the land of Ephraim and Manasseh; all the land of Judah, extending to the Mediterranean…
more -
Ep.42 "Blessings & Curses"
Much of todays reading includes promises and a consequences. Promises for good and prosperity if the people obeyed God and did according to His will and purposes, curses if the disobeyed, worshiped other gods, or otherwise broke the law of Moses.
-
Ep.41 "The Cursed Tree"
“If someone has committed a crime worthy of death and is executed and hung on a tree, 23 the body must not remain hanging from the tree overnight. You must bury the body that same day, for anyone who is hung is cursed in the sight of God. In this way, you will prevent the defilement of the land…
more -
Ep.40 "Remember This Day"
Chapter 16 starts with Moses reminding the Israelites of the Holy days and celebrations. These days are important for the people to remember because they mark off significant days in their history, and they would also mark important days in the future. The first and most obvious day for the...
-
Ep.39 "To Be Godly"
The end of chapter 12 gives us a sobering reference. It says, “When the Lord your God goes ahead of you and destroys the nations and you drive them out and live in their land, 30 do not fall into the trap of following their customs and worshiping their gods. Do not inquire about their gods…
more -
Ep.38 "The X factor"
I want to talk about something that caught my eye, 7:7 says, “The Lord did not set his heart on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other nations, for you were the smallest of all nations!” I think it would be easy, but incorrect to assume that the nation of Israel was the odds...
-
Ep.37 "I'm Still Here"
In the 1st chapter we see Moses talk to the people about the prior generations failure to be obedient to the leading of God and not entering into the promised land. At this point the Israelites should’ve been in the promised land but because of their disobedience, their entrance was delayed. This...
-
Ep.36 "City of Refuge"
The tribe of Levi had a different role to play. In today's podcast we take a closer look at what that role was and how they fit into the plan for God's people!
-
Ep.35 "Throwback"
Its really hard to imagine all of this taking place in today’s world. But this is the world that these Israelites lived in. They were on the offensive in war and they were taking what God had already divinely given to them. Yesterday we got to the first successful military conflict that the...
-
Ep.34 "Next Gen"
Something significant happens at the beginning of chapter 27. By Hebrew law, if a father died with no sons there would be no way for a daughter to inherit their fathers land. God then established a law that daughters could inherit the families share of the land. This law shows that God intended...
-
Ep.33 "When Donkeys Talk"
We see that God communicated with Balaam, and honestly, I don’t get it. I don’t understand how a man can be so dumb that he can have the kind of communication and interaction with God that Balaam had, the guts to stand up to Balak the way that he does, because he does obviously understand the…
more -
Ep.32 "Tell...Don't Strike"
As we jump into today’s reading in Numbers 15-21, there is a ton of material to cover. Don’t forget that this is all happening while the nation of Israel is in the wilderness of Sinai, waiting to go into the promised land Some very significant things happen as it pertains to the peoples entrance...
-
Ep.31 "Just Follow God"
It's crazy that the children of Israel would find themselves in this position, just over a year removed from the greatest event in their life-time, the first passover. God has done so much for these people and yet they still have no faith that their God can overcome enemy armies, fortified cities...
-
Ep.30 "The Stage Is Set"
'May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.’
-
Ep.29 "Ready For War"
The book of Numbers is known in the Hebrew Old Testament as “Bedmidbar” which means “in the desert”. We get the name “Numbers” because of the the two censuses that are recorded in the book. Most of the book however describes Israels experience in the desert. Basically this book is a sequel to the...
-
Ep.28 "Next Stop...Canaan"
Todays reading starts out with a promise from God, that if Israel would follow Gods plans then they as a people would remain under God’s blessing. God would protect the Israelites from wild animals and foreign armies. He would make sure that the Israelites could count on a rain season. Which let…
more -
Ep.27 "Let's Party"
Israelites had what was called the year of Jubilee every 49 years. During this year people would return to their ancestors home land and would grow no crops. God would provide enough yield for the upcoming year of Jubilee. All slaves would be freed Property that was sold would be returned to the...
-
Ep.26 "Levitical Law"
Today's reading might cross over into PG-13 area, but you’ll find out that the Bible is much more like an action movie than the cartoon felt board characters that have made up much of our Christian education over the years.
-
Ep.25 "Goat Demons...Seriously"
There’s a lot of things that we as Christians can take away from todays reading. It’s still important for us today to be set apart. Like we talked about in greater detail yesterday, the sacrifice for sin wasn’t just the price of your lifestyle, it was only accepted by God, if the sacrifice was...
-
Ep.24 "Undivided Attention"
It’s hard for Christians today to truly understand the life of an Old Testament believer. The things that we are reading here are just so foreign. You could almost equate it to a very affluent person not understanding the life of a peasant. Jesus Christ has just simply made our lives so much...
-
Ep.23 "Serious Business"
I know that when we read this today in our culture, it can seem cruel, it can seem like God doesn’t care about the sanctity of the life that He created and placed in these animals. I love animals, and I don’t want to see an animal needlessly killed, much less be in any amount of pain. I have a…
more -
Ep.22 "Let's Get To Work"
In Deeper, one of our core-values is “team-work makes the dream work” this is evident here, it took a team effort, a team that had many different skills and talents, coming together to accomplish a greater purpose. We as a culture need to look at this example and realize that there are all sorts…
more -
Ep.21 "Try Again"
They had a front seat to some of the Bible's most incredible miracles, and yet at the first opportunity the Israelites failed in one of the worst ways imaginable. They broke God's commandments and turned their back on the one who brought them out of slavery. As easy as it is for us to question…
more -
Ep.20 "Separation"
As we read about all these specifications throughout these 6 chapters I want us to look at the veil, because later on in the Bible this will play a great significance. The veil separated the Holy Place where the priests prayed and gave thanks on behalf of the people, from the most holy place.…
more -
Ep.19 "Follow Me"
Exodus 21:1-11 presents to us a cultural crisis of sorts, the big question we walk away with in this passage is, does God actually condone slavery. My answer to this question in short is absolutely not, specifically in the terms of how we as a culture define the word slavery. The…
more -
Ep.18 "Where Is Your Faith?"
There was no, “I wonder how the Lord is going to provide this time” or “God didn’t bring us this far to let us die” they went straight to complaining about their circumstances. They did this several times, and from our perspective this is just straight up annoying. In 16:3 they say, ““If only the...
-
Ep.17 "Stronger"
These plagues weren’t just random events, they were targeted at Egyptian gods in order to make a mockery of their perceived power and to show that God was more powerful than all of their gods.
-
Ep.16 "A Hardened Heart"
When Moses went back to the leaders of Israel, they refused to listen to him, because after they listened to him the first time, their lives got much more difficult. This is precisely what Pharaoh wanted to happen. Yet God, in His grace saved the people anyway.
-
Ep.15 "Not Forgotten”
The end of Genesis is a wonderful moment in history as this family of about 70 people are welcomed into Egypt because of the great things that God accomplished through Joseph. This whole generation of Israelites would live in peace in Egypt until their deaths, but their descendants would continue...
-
Ep.14 "A Powerful Blessing"
I doubt that Joseph's brothers woke up that day and thought, "Today we are going to kill Joseph" and yet that's exactly what they set out to do, until they spotted those Ishmaelite traders passing through. They probably thought they would never see of hear from Joseph ever again. But God had much...
-
Ep.13 "Put To The Test"
Twenty-Two years has gone by and we can see that a lot has changed. Obviously for Joseph. He was successful in Potiphar's house until he was falsely accused and thrown into prison, only to have God take him from prison and elevate him to the second highest office in the land. Joseph's brothers on...
-
Ep.12 "God Plants the Seed"
The Bible isn’t necessarily a hall of fame of people who were the best. Many people made horrible decision that caused great harm, and really aren’t people who should be praised or looked up to. There are things that are culturally acceptable then, that would be horrifying by today’s standards…
more -
Ep.11 "I'm Coming Home"
This is one of those podcasts where we may have bitten off more than we can chew as it pertains to the content. In other words, there is a lot to talk about. First, this is the end of Jacobs relationship with Laban, Jacob makes plans to leave Laban's household and return to his birth land, the…
more -
Ep.10 "You're Not My Wife!?"
Today's episode we look back at the genealogical lines that come from Noah and how they relate to where we are in today's text. Jacob's place in history is significant and we find out today that the family drama only gets more intense. I hope you enjoy today's episode!
-
Ep.9 "Good Stew"
It must have been good, because it was good enough for Esau to trade his birthright for. This passage is full of head-scratchers but it leaves us with a bit of history going forward. Jacob and Esau may have been twins but they were struggling from the beginning. Each brother represents people and...
-
Ep.8 "God is Faithful"
Today we look at two examples God's provision. Neither of these examples are easy to stomach. First we see how God took care of Hagar and Ishmael when they are banished from Abraham's house to the wilderness. Then we see where God asks Abraham to sacrifice Isaac on the altar before providing a…
more -
Ep.7 "This is in the Bible?!"
Wow, it's hard to imagine that this stuff is actually in the Bible but, it is. We can learn a lot from this giant moral mess but the big takeaway here is that God doesn't need us to figure out a way to make His plan work. We need to be obedient and trust rather than play God and try to figure it...
-
Ep.6 "The God Who Hears"
Today's podcast has admittedly been one that has been difficult to produce. There is so much that goes on between chapter 15 & 17. We see God reaffirm a promise that he's given to Abram and we see how that promise develops over time and eventually comes to pass at the end of Genesis 17. Reading...
-
Ep.5 "Get Out of Egypt"
Today we've got Alex Ceja on the podcast once again, and he's going to tell us about Abrams time in Egypt and how its marked by a giant lie that got him and his family thrown out by Pharaoh himself!
-
Ep.4 "This is why we can't have nice things"
Today in episode 4 we're talking about Genesis 9-11 and how we're continuing the Genesis narrative that God knows what is best for His creation. Even though we see things and think that they are good, God knows what truly is good for us.
-
Ep.3 "Blind Trust"
Today we're in Genesis 6-8 and Lauren is talking with us about Noah and the Flood! This is such an incredible story of the faith that it took Noah to trust and obey God in the face of relentless evil.
