Do you realize that you are part of the people of God, on a mission for God? Today we break from our series and take a side journey in the book of Numbers (which is not boring, I promise) to be challenged about our role and responsiblities in the church.

In this week's Thursday Thoughts Brian addresses the assisnation of Charlie Kirk and the church's response.

What can we do when we come across passages of scripture that seem contradictory to other passages of scripture? Or they just don't line up with what we have experienced in our Christian walk? Our passage this week in 1 Corinthians 11 seems confusing at first, but Brian teaches us how context, as well as historical context, can help us better interpret the message of scripture.

Welcome to Thursday Thoughts! Each week Brian has been writing a weekly devotional that has been emailed out to anyone who's been interested to read it. We decided it would be fun to try adding his Thursday Thoughts to the podcast! This week Brian reflects on the end of summer and the beginning of the school year routine. Enjoy listening!

What does it mean to be free in Christ? Most of us don't know how to use our freedom in a healthy way. We sometimes use it as an excuse to sin or be selfish. Not understanding our freedom in Christ can also mean we are trapped in legalism and judgement of others. Brian teaches from 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1 to teach us our freedom in Christ!

Our series in 1 Corinthians continues this week with guest preacher Tom Downing. Tom challenges us with a call to flee from our everyday idols and a deeper communion with God.

This week we dive into chapter 10 of 1 Corinthians to discuss temptation. What types of tempation does the Bible warn us about? How do we deal with temptation? What warnings does the Bible give? Take a listen!

Our passage in 1 Corinthians this week uses running a race as an analogy for the Christian life. Take a listen as Brian uses examples from his own experience as a runner to talk about the role of dicipline in the life of a believer!
