While absolutely necessary, it takes humility to sabbath rest. Yet, this humility is rooted, not in attempting to prove to ourselves that we have it within us, but rather to submit and worship the Lord through our willingness to become nothing in submission to the Lord.
This week Caleb talks about “The Chosen”, a hit TV show depicting the life of Jesus and His disciples in a fresh way. There have been many controversies about the Biblical accuracy of the show. Is it ok to have extra-biblical scenes? Should we watch this show? Is “The Chosen” Art? Caleb gives his best shot at answering all these questions while diving deeper into what the Bible says about art and creativity.
Mike Cosper from Christianity Today recently released a podcast on Mark Driscoll and Mars Hill asking one simple question; what happened to Mars Hill? He goes through the spiritual story of the church and the fallout that occurred from it. Now, Caleb and Danny talk about pastoral pride and how we can kill our own pride within us and encourage our pastor in the process.
The glory of God is given to the Son who gives it to the church as His representatives through the Spirit within us.
The Boys on Amazon Prime is about a group of super heroes who are neither super nor heroes. Instead they use their power, backed by the faceless conglomerate of a corporation. As ridiculous (and gratuitous) and this story is, it presents the problem of chasing pride and power.
Christ advocates for us, on our behalf, and secures the victory over all the world so that we can find our present hope in Him.
Danny Talks About… Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead. In this episode, Danny tries something new and discusses pop culture from his pretend study. Looking at Zack Snyder’s Netflix movie, Army of the Dead, we look for themes and whether it can be preached and whether it can be preached without being corny. Also, we look at the various plot holes that never got explained. Will there be a sequel? How will that happen if everyone is dead.
Our future hope in glory is in Jesus Christ for all eternity even though we may face difficulties now.
Recently a school board meeting in Loudoun County Virginia ended with endless chanting and police arrests over people’s protesting of the inclusion of Critical Race Theory into the elementary school curriculum. Caleb and Danny look at what Critical Race Theory is, how it has been expressed, and what the church should do in response to calls for an increase in CRT ideals. We look at how the church comes together in Jesus Christ and ultimately finds a beautiful unity in the person of Jesus Christ.
Just as the world hates Jesus, we will be hated as we are in Christ. The Holy Spirit will empower our witness of the truth.
