Paul Trask is standing in for Matt Burton today, and the topic is “The Divine Marriage.” Paul provides an overarching framework, or “schema,” for understanding and interpreting not only the entire Bible, but for understanding God’s original intent in creation. And that intent was to create a people which would enjoy an intimate “one-flesh” marriage relationship with himself throughout all eternity. In fact, God blessed mankind with the institution of marriage in order to powerfully communicate this ultimate reality. Old…

Today’s program centers around Colossians 1 and 2, and the first 4 verses of chapter 3. The Apostle Paul is writing to the church of Colossae (as well as mentioning the church of Laodicea). Paul wants them to continue to strive to attain the true knowledge of God’s mystery — which is Christ himself. The more we know, the more we find out that there is more to know. In verse 9 Paul tells about Christ or God being with…

Jesus’s birth is the story of Christmas — and it is now February?! The date of his birth is secondary to the fact that he was born. In today’s program Pastor Matt utilizes: Scripture — particularly Luke 2:1-24, Leviticus 12:1-8 & Matthew 2:1-23 The writings of the first century author Flavius Josephus The work of NASA The field of mathematics All to show that Jesus’s actual birth date was most likely in the middle of February — not December. The…

Today we continue in the book of Colossians. In verse 15 of Colossians 1, we see the preeminence of Jesus, being the firstborn thru verse 19 where it is stated that it was the Father’s good pleasure that this occurred. God is in control. Jesus became the New Adam and the Church became the new Eve. Christians are the guardians of the church. Colossians 1:9-27

In the book of Colossians Paul writes to the believers at Colossae.  Verse 1 through 8 sets the stage for Paul’s direction or guidance he is giving to the believers at Colossae. In verses 4 and 5 you find 3 markers of a believer, these are: Faith Hope, and Love Verse 9 starts with the reason Paul is telling the believers what he wants them to do: Gain knowledge of Christ and his kingdom — not from an intellectual point…

Please God — not man. Or simply put obey God. In doing that you might — or will — be at odds with other people. In today’s program Pastor Matt teaches from the book of Matthew as a backdrop for the idea that the events of Christ’s life — his birth, the coming of the wise men, his flight to Egypt and the exodus of the Israelites — are much alike.  In Matthew 3:1 John the Baptist is calling for…
