Join us at the Table of Origin where this season we are discussing chapter 6 of Galatians, Nothing But the Cross. We will talk about what the cross means for us and how Paul is calling us to live life by the cross. What does that look like?
Paul is on fire with legitimate, righteous, holy indignation through much of the book of Galatians. He does not mince words. He is direct. He repeats himself. His language and cultural references are rather . . . . spicy! Join us at the table of Origin to discuss Chapter 5 of Galatians, No Other Way.
Today we are in Chapter 4 of Galatians and our focus is, No Longer Slaves. God's plan for us has always been Sons & Daughters, Created in His Image with Purpose. The Plan was interrupted by sin and everything went awry. But Jesus Came and now we have a choice. We no longer have to live enslaved to this world's systems or to the law or to idols. We can live free as we choose not to love the world. We can live free as we recognize what might be at work fr...
In chapter 3 of Galatians, Paul continues his defense of living by faith as opposed to living by the law. God initiates and provides The Way to salvation. Why do we so readily go back to trying to earn it by keeping the law. Paul quotes the Old Testament saying that "Abraham believed God and God counted him as righteous because of his faith." The law was given for a purpose between the promise and the fulfillment of that promise, but now that the promise has been...
We are in Week 2 of our study of Galatians, coving studying Chapter 2 with the thought that our life is not our own. God is Sovereign, Supreme Ruler over everything, yet He gives us free will. When we make Him Lord of our lives, our life belongs to Him. It is Not My Life. But do we choose to live it for ourselves or do we choose to live it for Him. The more fulfilling life is to live it as God created us to, not with ourselves at the center, but with Him at the c...
We are diving into the book of Galatians with the idea that we have been Rescued and there is No Going Back. In the first chapter we are focusing on the fact that the Gospel is GOOD NEWS! There is No Other Gospel, no other good news that is entirely true and trustworthy. No Other Gospel that carries the news of a Rescuing Savior, a Righteous Ruler, a Grace-filled Father and a Faithful Friend. The Gospel reveals Jesus and Rescues us from our own destructive ways. ...
Join us at the table of Origin as we compare Relative Trust to Absolute Truth. Truth should be rock solid. Dependable. The same in every culture, for every generation, for all time. Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee and let's have a talk!
Often the server will say, "Would you like some more tea?" Especially if you live in Texas! A common answer might be, "I Have Enough, I'm Good!" If this is our answer as a follower of God, "I Have Enough, I'm Good," that is a deception. Join us at the table of Origin as we disarm this deception with the Truth of God's Word.
Sometimes it seems like we live in a "Just enough to get by" world. Someone asks us to do something or we see something that needs to be done and for various reasons, we are tempted to say, "That's Not My Job!" But the Bible assures us that we are our brother's keeper and Jesus told the disciples they should go the second mile. Join us at the table of Origin as we discuss, "Not My Job."
Have you ever heard someone say, "Well it wouldn't have happened unless it was God's Will!"? Not true. Not everything that happens is God's Will. Join us at the Table of Origin as we discuss this very subtle lie.
Gather around the table of Origin and help us unpack the fact that love is not just the fun, the feel-good, the happy, the on-top-of-the-world. It might be a rose garden but that garden has thorns. What does the Bible have to say about the grit of love? What is the truth about love?
Join us as we disarm deceptions with the truth of God's Word. Today we talk about The American Dream and how we have developed many deceptive thoughts around what was possibly initially a God-given dream. We might need a course correction! The table of Origin is for you. Pull up a chair and join our conversation.
What name tags or patterns of identity have you adopted that are not yours to own? What is the danger of saying, "I was born this way?" Join us at the table as we discuss the identity that we have in Christ as believers. Hear how God has an original plan for our identity. We get to choose if we walk in it. Life fulfillment doesn't come from self-seeking pleasure, but from removing the focus from self to others and ultimately, to Jesus.
When does life begin? This is pervading question in our culture today. Science is trying to pinpoint the exact moment in a baby's life that we can actually say this is a viable life. Politicians argue about it. People protest over it. Join us at the table of Origin as we discuss the various lanes of thought and examine God's creative plan surrounding LIFE.
How many times have you wondered if you are "in God's will?" Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "Wow, I must have missed God," just because a situation is difficult? Not always so according to the Word. Join us for this conversation today around the table of Origin, "It it's Hard, It's not God!"
Join the Table of Origin to discuss the deception, Many Ways to God. We are boldly stating that Jesus is the Only Way. We are all susceptible to deception. Find out how to guard against it as we discuss strategies for disarming deception.
We are disarming the deception that salvation is just praying a prayer. We minimize a vibrant and growing relationship with Jesus by reducing it to just saying "right" words. Join us at the Origin table as we talk about what salvation is, what it isn't and how to keep it fresh and growing.
How can "I Prayed the Prayer" be a deception? What if God doesn't answer the way we expect, in the time-frame we expect? Can we get off track? Do we get disillusioned? It is so important to have some foundation stones of prayer in place. This conversation around the table of Origin will help us disarm this possible deception with the Truth of God's Word.
Join us as we close our our podcast season on The End: A Revelation Study. Today, at the table of Origin we will discuss the closing chapters of Revelation as God is making all things new. We will once again visit the options that God has given for us to choose. Try to imagine what a world without evil will be like. A place of perpetual life and peace. We have this hope in Christ Jesus.
