Seeking Pearls
Jesus says that the Kingdom of God is like a hidden pearl, which, upon finding it, becomes dearer to the finder than anything he or she has ever found. God’s Word is just like that, full of hidden treasures and truths that are more precious than this world has to offer. Join us in this podcast as we study Scripture and seek pearls together.

In the seventh and final episode on our Face to Face series with Moses, we see him seeking more and more of God's glory. The more he gets to know God, the more he wants to know God. The more he sees God, the more he wants to see of God.
Oh! That I would be like Moses!

Face to Face: From Stranger to Intercessor (Episode 6)
Tuesday Jul 16, 2024
Tuesday Jul 16, 2024
In the sixth episode of Face to Face, we see Moses really dig into his new role as intercessor for the people of Israel. Though he was a stranger to them all just months ago, he is now the one who prays for them and intercedes on their behalf. When they mess up, he goes up the mountain to meet with a holy God for them. When they are hungry, he asks the Giver of all things for food. When they are thirsty, he begs God to quench their thirst. He is, in every sense, their intercessor.
What is most amazing about this is that it means that Moses has come to a place in his relationship with God that he could talk to God about anything and everything. He knew God intimately, personally, faithfully, and he was brutally honest with God in all things. Let's see how this happened in real life.

Face to Face: Obedience Training like None Other! (Episode 5)
Tuesday Jul 09, 2024
Tuesday Jul 09, 2024
In today's episode, we continue to journey with Moses through some extreme obedience training. As he travels the desert with the Israelites, Moses is put to the task of doing everything God asks him to do, and nothing else. Throw the stick, hit the rock, climb the mountain, go down, go back up...everything God says, Moses does. It is obedience training like none other; but as we will see, it also becomes intimacy with God like none other.
Again, it leaves me wanting to be like Moses...

Tuesday Jul 02, 2024
Moses continues to obey God with surprising obedience, even as God asks him to do things beyond what we could imagine. God is the only true God, above all little gods we might worship, and the more we give him time, space, attention, and obedience, the more we will see his wonders.
As God leads the people to the Sea of Reeds, WHO IS WITH THEM???

Moses started out reluctantly at the burning bush, but over the course of time we see him growing in his relationship with God. By the time we are into the plagues, Moses does everything God says without the least bit of arguing or complaining.
What we see is Moses giving God time, space, attention and obedience. These steady habits and routines eventually lead to the beautiful fruit of knowing God personally, intimately, like a friend knows another friend.
I want to be like Moses!

In this new series we will look at Moses, and specifically, we will look into his unique and profound relationship with God. At the beginning, does he even know God? In the end, they talk face to face...

Join me for a journey through the desert!

Pressing On in Joy

In Philippians chapter 4, Paul teaches us a great deal about what it means to press on in the gospel with the community he has given to us. Let us press on together, let us press on by putting our differences aside, let us press on in prayer, and with thanksgiving, and with contentment in what He has given to us. What a Word!

Philippians Episode Five: Pressing On to Know Jesus More
Sunday Mar 24, 2024
Sunday Mar 24, 2024
Philippians 3 is one of the most breathtaking chapters of Scripture in the whole Bible. In it, we see Paul's heart to know Jesus more. Here we have this man who has suffered more for the cause of the Gospel than anyone else, and we see that in his deepest heart all he wants is to know Jesus even more. He presses on for that one cause, to be like Jesus and to know Jesus.
Let that be our heart-cry as well!

Press On...Without Grumbling!

Wednesday Mar 13, 2024
In this fourth episode of our Philippians series, we see Paul putting into practice the exact things he told the Philippians to exhibit earlier in chapter two...humility, considering others above yourselves, being like-minded to Jesus. Paul and his team clearly strive to live out these exact qualities, and he asks us to do the same. Good news - It's the Spirit of God that enables us to do so!

Seeking Pearls
In Matthew 13:45-46 Jesus tells us that the Kingdom of God is like a hidden pearl, which, upon finding it, becomes the greatest treasure of our lives.
Indeed it is. And His Word is overflowing with these beautiful, perfect pearls of the Kingdom...truths that take our breath away and set our hearts free.
This podcast is a Bible study podcast in which we study God's Word together, looking for, finding, and celebrating with each peal that comes our way.
Study with me, friend.
Let's seek pearls.
