    About this Episode

    STRANGER THAN FICTION – Part 3: Jesus, the Sons of Thunder, and Obedience // Pastor Christian Bonham


    The Bible is full of beautiful, descriptive, rich, and wonderful truths! It also has some rather… odd… stories than by themselves leave readers with more questions than answers. Passages which on the surface standout as being weird, funny, confusing, or all of the above. This series dives into some of those unique stories to help us mine for the Truth within the curious. 


    Today we look at the story of Jesus with two of His Disciples: James and John – the Sons of Thunder. 


    Text: Mark 3, Luke 9, Matthew 20

    What We Believe + What We Live, Part 15 – When We Try to Cover Our Sin // Pastor Christian Bonham

    Perhaps another name for this series could be “The Truths Every Christian Should Believe and How They Change Us”. There are certain core beliefs that are so vital to the Christian faith that without them you cease to be a Christian. This series is meant to help us discern which doctrines are non-negotiable (closed-hand) and which ones leave room for conversations and questions (open-hand). Today we look at the reality that sin is not just something we do or embrace (idolatry), but it’s actually our condition. Thanks to the sin of Adam we are now sinful people who try to justify sin instead of repent of it. Today we look at a number of ways we try to cover or justify our sin, but will discover that Jesus is the only justification we need. 


    Text: Romans 5:12-21
