Episodes
We finish our series "Christmas in the Law" in Deuteronomy 18 where Moses promises that a prophet would come that would speak in God's name. That prophet was looked for and found in the coming of Jesus Christ. Jesus speaks from God and speaks the truth of God as he is God in human flesh.
We continue our series "Christmas in the Law" and focus on Numbers 24 where we meet Balaam, the wicked prophet whom God used to speak good things for the future of Israel. In his prophecy we see that God keeps his promises which gives us hope today, just as it did for the people of Israel in Balaam's day.
We continue our series "Christmas in the Law" and do so in Genesis 49 where Jacob prophecies about the coming of the Messiah through the line of Judah. We discover that God redeems and brings beauty of hopeless situations like Judah for the glory of God and the good of God's people.
During this Advent season we focus on the glory of Christ's coming being prophesied in the Old Testament law. Today we see that promise of Christ in Genesis 3:15.
The religious leaders, the crowd, and Pilate all come together to crucify Jesus in Matthew 27. What did they do with Jesus? They crucified him. What should we do with Jesus? We should embrace him as Savior and Lord.
Judas betrays Jesus and demonstrates a hard heart. It leads us to consider what real repentance really is.
Peter denies Jesus. However, this is not the end of Peter's story. Jesus redeems us from our shame, even when we fail him.
Jesus demonstrates how to face injustice at his shame trial that took place the night before his crucifixion. He becomes a perfect model for how we can face injustice.
Jesus is betrayed by Judas in Matthew 26. However, Jesus does not fight back or encourage his followers to fight back. This should tell us something about the nature of Jesus's ministry but also our ministry today as Christians. We consider how we are to live in the face of persecution because of what Jesus modeled for us.
Jesus is about to be put to death in Matthew 26. In the face of this great trial, he prayed and he persevered. We will consider how Jesus models for us the right source of strength in the face of adversity.
What does the Lord's Supper do? We answer that question today on the Sunrise Pulpit.
Jesus taught his followers and us about how to remember is death through the Lord's Table. We consider what the Bible teaches about this subject.
In predicting His own death, Jesus taught us the significance of his death. He is a sacrifice for our sins.
Jesus is worshiped with an extravagant gift by a woman shortly before his death in Mathew 26. In doing so, she demonstrated the value of Jesus.

Jesus, in Mathew 25, ends his sermon known as the Olivet Discourse where he talks about the future. He ends it by speaking of the judgment that will come. His message is a sober one but is necessary to hear.

Jesus gave what is commonly called "the parable of the talents" in Matthew 25. In it, he encourages us not to just think about the coming of Jesus but to be ready for it.

Jesus gives us a series of parables to help us ready ourselves for his coming. Are you ready? We help you to answer that question on this episode.
This week's podcast tackles the question of when Jesus is going to come back? Can we know the timing? Matthew 24 helps us with this answer!
Jesus tells his followers that there will be great tribulation to come in the future? What is the purpose of tribulation? Pastor Stertz tackles that question on today's episode of the Sunrise Pulpit.
Jesus in Matthew 24 in speaking about coming judgment references Daniel's prophecy in Daniel 9. We consider how these two texts relate to each other.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
