The Only Debt You Owe Is Love Sep 08, 2020

This episode is taken from The Table OKC service and features Jonathan and Joel as they discuss the Lectionary text from the Epistles, Romans 13.

This sermon felt so incredibly special that we knew we needed to share it as soon as possible.

In this conversation we discuss the implication of the greatest commandment, love your neighbor as yourself, and the negative ramification of the rising pushback on this posture and priority of love.

God Of The Dreamer Aug 12, 2020

Show notes

Today’s episode of the Zeitcast features a sermon from Jonathan given on Sunday at The Table OKC.

In this timely message Jonathan shares beautifully accessing both 2 different texts from the Lectionary in admonishing us to hold onto the dreams God has given us. This poetic application of the text rings so true for the present moment, where so many are feeling despondent, worn down, and grasping for hope.

This poignant message hold the tension of hope for the weary and oppressed and a necessary critique of the systems that would seek to rob them. God is the God of the dreamer.

The Illusion Of Separation Aug 03, 2020

Show notes

Today’s episode features a sermon Jonathan shared recently during The Table OKC’s IG Live service. In this message he expounds on Paul’s text in Romans and brings clarity to the misconception of separation from God.

This message is profoundly important for the world in this moment where so many feel alone, isolated and even rejected.

Nothing can separate us from the Love of God.
