Join Pastors Caleb and Sam as we are learning to have a seat at the intersection of Christ and culture.

Suffering | The Table | 001 May 28, 2019

Why is there pain and brokeness in the world? If God is so good, why does he allow such suffering to take place? It seems like the headlines always include shootings, crime and death. Is there any hope in the world? Is God going to do something about all this brokeness?

Join Pastors Sam and Caleb as they talk with Dr. Bob Kolb, professor emeritus of Systematic Theology at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, about topics including Theodicy, the school shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL and Free Will. We learn that the cross of Jesus is the best and only answer to the problem of suffering and that only through it, do we have hope in what is to come.

Sexual Ethics | The Table | Episode 002 Jun 04, 2019

Often the Church is viewed as a regressive entity, calling for unrealistic expectations when it comes to human sexuality. On the topic of sex, the message from the church is that it's a gift reserved only for marriage so make sure you save yourself until then. The message from culture is one of transaction, consent and making sure that you get yours. Is there a better way to view love and sex?

Join Pastors Sam and Caleb as they talk with Dr. Jeff Mallinson, Professor of Theology and Philosophy at Concordia University in Irvine, CA and author of Sexy: The Quest for Erotic Virtue in Perplexing Times. At the core of the conversation is a discussion of what love is, the type of love God has for us and the love that we're called to demonstrate to the world. Topics also include purity culture, a system of Gospel-Law-Gospel, how to love our spouses better and even Dr. Dre. So, grab a drink, pull up a seat, and join us at The Table as we talk about Sexual Ethics.

Spiritual Gifts | The Table | Episode 003 Jun 11, 2019

The Spirit of God had been promised to God's people for centuries and all throughout the Old Testament. On the feast of Pentecost in Acts 2, the Holy Spirit finally came. Ever since, the Holy Spirit has been acting in and through those who follow Jesus. The expression of the Holy Spirit is first and foremost, the existence of faith in Jesus Christ. Another expression is through Spiritual Gifts, unique giftings to help one love and serve their neighbor as well as expand the Kingdom of God. Spiritual Gifts are not for the glory of the individual, but the glory of God.

Join Pastors Sam and Caleb as they discuss what Spiritual Gifts are and are not and the purpose for which all believers have been given certain gifts. Spiritual Gifts are given to Jesus followers by the Holy Spirit living in us to equip, enable and empower us to love and serve others and expand God's Kingdom. Topics include golf, natural talents, gallbladders and speaking in tongues. So grab a drink, pull up a seat, and join us at The Table as we talk about Spiritual Gifts.

Resurrection | The Table | Episode 004 Jun 18, 2019

Christianity is utterly dependent on one truth: Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. Nothing else matters if this statement is false. If Jesus didn't come back to life then all of Christianity is a waste of time. But we believe and know that Jesus has risen from the dead and as a result, that changes everything.

Join Pastors Sam and Caleb for what is their first recorded podcast as they talk about why the resurrection matters and how one day after we die, we too will be raised from the dead to live forever in eternity with our Savior. Topics include Jediism, Scientology (shhh), Apologetics, Types of Knowledge, the Grand Narrative, bowties, robes, and snakes. So grab a drink, pull up a seat, and join us at The Table as we talk about the Resurrection.

Main text being discussed is 1 Corinthians 15.

Sermon: A Long Long Time Ago God Spoke

Preacher: Pastor Caleb Cox

Text: Genesis 1:1-24

Text-In Questions:

1) Who wrote Genesis?

2) In a society today where so many people believe in the "scientific" creation story, is there a way that both can exist together?

3) When Genesis says, that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth why is "heavens" plural and what description does the Bible give for God creating them?

4) Why did God create something that He saw was good even though He knew that it would produce some pain and evil?

5) Where are the angels in the scheme of creation? Already existing?

6) Where did Satan come from? Why can't God get rid of him?

7) Do you believe God is a "male"? Why assign gender to God?

8) What is Redeemer's stance on protecting the environment and God's creation? Have you considered taking active steps such as installing solar panels on the church or reducing waste? Is there a "green committee"?

Baptism | The Table | Episode 005 Jun 24, 2019

Baptism is about so much more than just water. But why do we do it? What's the purpose? Why are babies baptized? Baptism is one of the most notable ways that God offers life-giving promises to us and welcomes us into His family. Rather than think about the pormises we make to God, what if we started to think about the promises that God makes to us?

In this podcast, Pastors Sam and Caleb talk about the Sacrament of Baptism and the promises that God has for us through the water and the word. We answer 3 main questions: What is a valid baptism? What does God promise to do in Baptism? Who can be baptized? Topics include cassette tapes, immersion, the Greek word baptizo, delicious Colorado water, the Chronicles of Narnia, adoption and circumcision. So grab a drink, pull up a seat, and join us at The Table as we talk about Baptism.

Sermon: A Long Long Time Ago God Gave His Image

Preacher: Pastor Tim Runtsch

Text: Genesis 1:14-31

Listen to Redeemer's Sermons online!

Text-In Questions:

1) Why is it "us" in genesis 1:26? Why not "I"?

2) God created Man and Woman in his image. God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and the man become a living being. Some say Man has body, soul and spirit; some say man has body and soul, both can be found in Bible. Then what is the soul and spirit? Is there any difference?

3) An "image" is so much more than just what you see on the surface. So, what's the difference between "image" and "likeness" in the original Hebrew?

4) In Genesis 1:29-30, it states the green plants with seeds are for food. Is it biblical that we should be vegetarians?

5) How does being created "in the image of God" change the way we should view ourselves compared to viewing ourselves as "poor, miserable sinners" as the Lutheran liturgy says?

6) Can you please clarify that the purpose of the 3/5 compromise was?

Communion | The Table | Episode 006 Jul 02, 2019

Every week in worship, we come together to share a meal with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Every week, we hear these words: "Take and eat, this is my body. Take and drink, this is my blood." Strange words that leave many of us with questions. Why does Jesus want us to eat him? Is it actually body and blood? That's just a metaphor, right?

In this podcast, Pastors Sam and Caleb talk about the Sacrament of Communion and how this is a meal of unity and love to be received for the forgiveness of our sins. Topics include promises, Lyft and Uber, transubstantiation, miracle math, recycling and the Sharing of the Peace. We also answer a few FAQs about Communion: 1) Who is allowed to distribute the elements? 2) If I visit a church that isn't Lutheran, should I take Communion? 3) Who can receive Communion at Redeemer? So grab a drink, pull up a seat, and join us at The Table as we talk about Communion.

Text-In Questions:

1) Is there a special day of the week that is considered the Sabbath? Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday, etc. Or is the Sabbath the 7th day?

2) Does the Sabbath have to be a weekend day (especially if you're clergy or a health care worker)? If not, does it have to be the same day of the week...ie, every Wednesday to make it the 7th day? Or can you select a day each week as your "personal Sabbath"?

3) Why do we worship on Sunday instead of Saturday?

4) Are ministers exempt from working on the Sabbath?

5) A very devout Jewish (reformed I think) colleague once told me that the the current meaning of the Hebrew word for day used in Genesis is a 24 hour day but the meaning when Genesis was written was different. What do you think? My first thought is Peter's thousand year statement.

6) In your sermon you said that Sabbath is a gift from God. Yet it is in the 10 Commandments. Are the 10 Commandments laws that we follow or gifts? They don't feel like gifts.

7) How can I change my internal rhythm to a Sabbath rhythm?

Liturgy of Worship | The Table | Episode 007 Jul 09, 2019

Every week on the same day, at the same time, at the same place, a group of people gather together to be recreated, restored and re-storied. Of course, we're talking about worship. For centuries, ever since the beginning of the church, brothers and sisters in Christ have gathered together to be reminded of the story of God that we live in and live out. But why do we do the things that we do in worship? Why do we confess our sins every week? Why do we always recite the Lord's Prayer? What's the deal with the Creed?

LITURGY: Christian liturgy is a pattern for worship used by a Christian church on a regular basis. It comes from the ancient Greek leitourgia, which literally means "work of the people". It is a literal translation of the two words "litos ergos" or "public service".

In this podcast, Pastors Sam and Caleb and special guest, Pastor Tim talk about the format of our worship service and why we do the things that we do. So grab a drink, pull up a seat and join us at The Table as we talk about the Liturgy of Worship.

4) In the Gospel reading, Jesus says that divorce is only permissible in the case of sexual immorality. Is that really the only thing that makes divorce ok?

5) I think that the church puts a lot of emphasis on marriage. What about those of us who are single? Are we not complete until we find someone to marry and be "one flesh?"

Political Identity | The Table | Episode 008 Jul 16, 2019

We'd love your feedback! PLEASE TAKE OUR SHORT SURVEY

When it comes to politics, we typically focus more on what divides us over what unites us. Unfortunately, we tend to do the same in our churches. But because of what Jesus has done for us, we have one big thing, the most important thing, in common. And this commonality in Jesus unites us much more than the division that comes from politics. We are so much more than just our political party affiliation. We ask the questions: How should I vote? What should we spend our time doing? How should I interact with other Christians who are not in the same party as I am?

In this podcast, Pastors Sam and Caleb and special guest, Pastor Scott, talk about politics and political identity. Topics include Two Kingdom Theology, power politics, Avengers: Infinity War, environment, abortion, government size, NFL players kneeling for the anthem and the polarization of parties. So grab a drink, pull up a seat and join us at The Table as we talk about Political Identity.

Text-In Questions:

1) How long were Adam and Eve able to enjoy life in the Garden before The Fall? Was it days, weeks, years?

2) Why did God ask where Adam and Eve were in the Garden? Why would he not know where they were already? I thought God knew everything.

3) Why did God put the forbidden tree in the Garden when he knows all and that we would eat the fruit and sin?

4) The Bible says Eve saw the fruit as "desirable for gaining wisdom." Was this description true or a faulty perception of hers? I'm unsure if they learned they were naked before the proper time (if there would have been one) or if it caused them to see nakedness in a negative light. The Bible encourages us to pursue wisdom multiple times, so why would the fruit be off limits?

5) Why do I have to suffer because someone a long time ago ate a piece of fruit?

6) I sometimes doubt God. What do I do with my doubts? Can I be a good Christian and still have doubts?

Abortion w/ Jen McLain | The Table | Episode 009 Jul 23, 2019

We'd love your feedback! PLEASE TAKE OUR SHORT SURVEY

Abortion is one of the hottest and most divisive topics in our culture today. Lines are drawn and people think it's a black and white issue where there is no in-between. From politics to religion, there are countless influences on how we view abortion and those who have had an abortion. Christians and the church typically get a very specific reputation for how we see and treat those who have had abortions. But what if we took the time to stop, lead with grace and listen. What if we had eyes to see what others see? What if we set up systems and walked the walk in supporting people both during and after their pregnancy?

In this podcast, Pastors Sam and Caleb are joined by special guest, Jen McLain, from the Alpha Center in Fort Collins, CO to talk about Abortion. Topics include the recent laws passed in New York and Vermont, the response in laws passed in the Midwest and South, the laws and statistics of abortion in Colorado and the main focus: how do we love and see people the way that Jesus loves and sees them? So grab a drink, pull up a seat and join us at The Table as we talk about Abortion.

Text-In Questions:

1) Were there other humans on earth outside of Eden? Who was Cain worried was going to kill him once he left the Garden? Were not Adam, Eve, Cain and Able the first humans?

2) When God sent Cain away from him did Cain ever reconcile with God?

3) If someone is (non-violently) attacking us were are to forgive. But at what point is it ok to defend yourself and/or defend your reputation or business?

4) A few weeks ago we learned that God put a curse on the serpent but not on man. In Genesis 4, God put a curse on Cain. What's with that?

5) I see God giving grace to Cain by his pronouncement of protection on his life. As the Scripture says: "God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble." Where in Genesis 4 might such humility be found in Cain? Is his regret in verses 13-14 sufficient? Does the text offer this possibility?

6) What might the "mark" that God placed on Cain to keep him safe have been? I've heard rumors that this means that God changed his skin color? Is that true??

2-3) Why does Genesis say that Noah was 400 years old? Please expand upon the phrase that "Noah is over 600 years old"? Does this pertain to God's time vs. our time?

4) With the state of the world today, how do we know that God won't do the same thing to us that He did to the people in Genesis 6-7?

5) In the 1 Peter passage that you read, it says that "this water which symbolizes baptism that now saves you." Does baptism actually save us? I thought that it was faith in Jesus that saves us?

Text: Genesis 8-9

Text-In Questions:

1) If the only animals that were left in the world were on the ark, why would Noah risk extinction and sacrifice them? Weren't there only two of each animal?

2) What was God doing for the almost year that Noah and family were on the ark?

3) What is "clean animals?" Since there was two of each animals, one male and one female. Which species didn't survive?

4) Genesis 8:21 talks about God saying that He will never destroy all living creatures as He did with the flood. 2 Peter 3:12 talks about the destruction of the heavens by fire and the elements (not sure what is meant by elements), will melt away. Isn't this just another form of destroying the current earth?

5) What about all the "sinners" that died while Noah & his family were allowed to live? This has to include children & infants. Did they deserve to be swept away by the flood waters? Could this be an allegory instead of a historical event?

6) How do Christians get the rainbow back?

7) If God doubly commanded "Be fruitful and multiply," does that mean contraception is against God's will?

8) Can you please elaborate about the practice of crossing yourself when you say in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? I thought only Catholics did this? Can we do it as a Lutheran church member?

2) Isn't what happened at Babel what's happening now?

3) Does God cause confusion and different ways of thinking to avoid what happened at Babel?

4) Did the Babel event really happen? It sounds more like a parable than a historical event.

5) Did God also divide people into different races at Babel? Did people get new skin colors along with different languages?

6) If everyone was in the same place after the flood, how did people migrate to Americas?

7) What did God mean when he said that "Nothing would be impossible for them"?

8) So where do we go from here? Christ unites us! I get that, but how do we bring that to a world that seemingly has little interest in unity, but rather uniformity?
