About this Episode

As the church year starts to wind down, we turn our attention to Christ's second coming. Tonight, we look at 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, where we are told, "then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air." Does this verse teach that there will be a rapture? What does Lutheranism teach about the end times?

What Does it Mean to Be The Christ?

In Mark 8:27-38, Peter confesses that Jesus is the Christ, however also rebukes Jesus when he predicts his own suffering and death. It seems that Peter knew who the Christ was, but not what he was sent to do. In this episode, we answer what it means to be The Christ, and discuss how Peter's confusion is a mirror of modern day misconceptions about Jesus's identity.

Becoming an Ambassador for Christ with Dr. Ken Schurb

In this year's Ash Wednesday episode, we turn our attention to 2 Corinthians 5:17-6:10, where Paul tells us that "we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us." How can we be ambassadors for Christ, and how can the Church prepare her members for evangelizing?

Who Is the God of This World?

In this Transfiguration episode, we look at 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:6, where Paul says, "In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." Who is "the god of this world" and how does he blind minds of unbelievers to the Gospel?

What is our role in bringing others to Christ?

In this episode, we look at the Old Testament reading for the third Sunday after Epiphany, which is Jonah 3:1-10. How does Jonah's story fit with the Epiphany theme "God revealed to the Gentiles?" Did God change his mind when he "relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them?"

All Things Are Lawful

In this episode, we discuss 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, where Paul tells us, "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful." Does this mean that we no longer are bound by the moral law? How are we to understand these words in the context of the rest of the chapter?
