Specifically, the Holy Spirit draws Gentile believers’ hearts to Jerusalem, God’s chosen city and the epicenter of His redemptive plan. Thanks to the Spirit’s indwelling ...

Romans 11: Having a Heart of Humility: The belief that the church has replaced Israel in God’s plans and affections has grown increasingly popular among Christians today.

How Did the Average Israelite View Jesus?: We all see Jesus differently! Over the past two weeks we’ve explored how the Romans dismissed His ministry and the Jewish religious leaders of His day considered it a threat.

How Did the Religious Leaders View Jesus?: Even though He came to offer salvation from sin, not everyone loved Jesus. We saw that fact last week through the eyes of the Romans, who were more concerned with their empire than with the Lord of the universe. This week we look at Jesus through the eyes of the Pharisees and Sadducees. ...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
