Welcome to Season 2! We are excited to begin a series of topical studies that will take us through the new year. As we get started, we figured we should start with the most important topic of all: What is the Gospel?

We hope that this episode...

We are honored that you have spent 2024 with us as we have made our journey through the books of the New Testament. In this last episode of the year, we take a look at the book of Revelation. Though heavily symbolic and difficult at times to understand, this book reminds us of the enduring nature and presence of Christ, the victory that Christians have in Him, and the reunion that awaits us in heaven. Glory to God for the new begin...

Around the same time as the writing of his longer letter, the beloved apostle of Christ penned two more brief exhortations to fellow Christians which are now known as 2 and 3 John. Despite their brevity, these letters are powerful reminders of the love shared within the church and the importance of continuing in the teachings and humility of Christ. Join us as we study these two letters together!

In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul summarized the mission of the church as "speaking the truth in love" (Eph 4:15). In his first letter, John writes about the relationship between the truth and love, and connects them both back to the mission and sacrifice of Christ. We hope that you will join us as we dive into this beautiful letter and learn more about what it means to walk in the light with Him.

We hope that...

This week, we are wrapping up the pastoral letters of Paul with a walkthrough of the letter to Titus! Like Timothy, Titus is a fellow worker with Paul and a located minister of the gospel, and Paul writes to him for the sake of his encouragement and training. Titus is called upon to bring the church together in purity and purpose, and it is these themes that we are excited to study about with you in this episode.
