5. The Land Between | Week 1 | Discover the Word May 30, 2021

Show notes

Pastor and author Jeff Manion joins Discover the Word to discuss observations about the unwanted transitions of life. Jeff calls this space the “Land Between.” These are times when life is not as it was and likely not as it will be in the future. These times of change, however, provide our greatest opportunity for spiritual growth.

Join the group as they look at the biblical story of the Israelites’ journey through the Sinai Desert as a metaphor for being in an undesired, transitional space. Here they seek to find ways to recognize God and His provision for our personal “Land Between.”

4. Live by Faith | Discover the Word May 23, 2021

Show notes

One of the tried and tested ways we learn is through repetition. Whether it’s multiplication tables, grammar rules, or other languages, repetition helps to embed important ideas in our minds. The same is true with the most important ideas of all—those presented in the Scriptures. So, when we read Habakkuk 2:4, the fact that it’s repeated no less than three times in the New Testament should grab our attention. This week on Discover the Word, we discuss this important text and how it helps our understanding of the gospel.

3. Dress Up! | Discover the Word May 16, 2021

Show notes

Remember playing dress up as a kid? You’d get in your mom’s or dad’s old clothes and role play adulthood. The Bible is filled with mentions of clothing – both literal and figurative, beginning in Genesis with the first desire for clothing after human kind’s fall. Through the New Testament epistles especially, the metaphor of “dressing up” takes on a special significance, directing us to express our internal faith in external efforts, the way we “put on” certain items of clothing.

2. Mental Health in the Bible | Discover the Word May 09, 2021

Show notes

Dr. Christina Edmondson is convinced that since our brain is part of our body, we need to pursue good "brain health." Our brains are a gift from God and we need to be good stewards of our brains just like we need to be good stewards of our whole body. So, how do we take good care of our brain? How do we practice good mental health? Join the Discover the Word group this week as Dr. Christina Edmondson takes us to some passages of Scripture that offer some mental health best practices, and help us keep our brains healthy.

1. The Master of Forgiveness | Discover the Word Apr 30, 2021

Show notes

None of us escape being hurt deeply by others as we go through life. We've all been cheated on, lied to, swindled, dismissed, isolated, taken advantage of. And it's into that broken reality that Jesus tells a parable about one of the most difficult things we do in life--forgive. Join the Discover the Word group this week as they immerse themselves in a story Jesus told about forgiveness, unforgiveness, and the transforming power of mercy.
