The next generation is depending on us. So is God! Time and again in the Bible, we read of how parents are called to pass on their faith to the next generation. This week's passage takes a closer look at what the essentials are and how we should live them out so that future generations can look back in thanksgiving.
Fewer and fewer people in the United States are sharing in marriage. Marriages are important to nurture and support as they become more and more scarce. Relationships, including marriage, are diverse and important. What does God teach us about marriage in the Bible, and how does marriage provide a witness of God's love? This week's episode explores how it happens and will debunk some religious baggage along the way.

Friends are such a key part of our life. Friends often span time longer than any other relationship we might have. What happens when we invest in our friends in a deeper way? This week we will take a close look at how Paul invests in his friend Timothy and discover the joy of holding our friends close.

Jesus is many things to many people. At the heart of Jesus is love. That love is experienced in God's saving grace in Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Savior of all. This week we explore how Jesus does that cosmic and important work where we receive forgiveness and grace.

Christmas joy is far more than hearing holiday songs, gift-giving, and decorations. Beyond those signs of the season is the joy of walking with Jesus each and every day. Jesus comes to us to live, die, and live again so we can receive forgiveness, healing, and His abiding presence each day.

Our addiction to happiness shapes who we are, what we do, and what we do in mysterious ways. What if happiness is not all it is promised to be? What if there is another way of living where we may not find happiness all the time but, instead, find an eternal mission and destiny? That is something worth living for!

Most churches and Christians love to do things, especially things for God. These "doings" sometimes take us away from the mission Jesus actually gave us. This week we explore how we must let Jesus be and do everything He must while finding our place in relationship to Him. Let Jesus be Jesus, and we, as a church, do our best work when we point to Him.

We often might think of Jesus as Lord and Savior. Rightly so! How much time do we spend wondering about Jesus as a friend, a brother, or a family member? Jesus comes to us in so many different ways. He does so to reach our heart, which is longing for belonging and grace.

Everyone is tempted. Avoiding temptation is not the issue. How we handle temptation is. This week we explore how praying over temptation can lead us to a place of blessing. Just as Moses offered the Israelites their choice, so we must face ours as well.

Forgiveness is increasingly hard to do. Many people choose alienation and estrangement from others before making any effort for reconciliation. This story from Moses' life illustrates the meaning and power of forgiveness in a very unique way. We can learn much about sin, forgiveness, and grace from this very old and powerful story.
