Jesus did not arrive safely, comfortably, or legally secure. He fled by night, crossed borders, and lived in fear of returning home—because a politician wanted him dead. The Gospel doesn’t leave us room to sanitize this reality. If how we treat refugees is how we treat Jesus, then the question isn’t whether Christ was a…
God is an artisan. When he told Moses to create a Tabernacle, he had very specific symbols, materials, and objects he wanted integrated into the space with different meanings attached. We, too, create atmospheres with the objects we have. In this message, I talk about some of the objects I have and objects I’ve created…
There’s a strange story in the Old Testament where Moses brings water out of a rock. This turns into an even stranger story where that rock is said to move around and be Jesus himself. What’s going on here? Jamin gives some insight into these passages and why they matter today.
In this teaching, Jamin engages the crowd at Reveal Jackson by having them read through healing stories in the gospels. Together, they tallied up the common themes they saw so that they could learn how Jesus healed. NOTE: Apologies, as our mic does not pick up comments from the crowd.
In this Easter message, Jamin pulls out a whiteboard to take us on a tour of the cosmos and explain how Jesus has become king of the whole thing.

We’re often so lost in the wonder of the fiery bush that we don’t notice how noncompliant Moses was. His combativeness caused God to offer him a concession that would complicate his future. Today’s message is live on the 1208PODCAST.
As with all Marvel characters, there are many variations as to how Venom’s character acts. In some universes, he’s just a straight-up bad guy, but in other universes, he helps Eddie Brock beat the bad guys. But even when fighting for the right team, he fights immorally, making him an antihero. He gets the results…
“I know, my son, I know,” said Jacob as he comforted a confused Joseph. Jacob was breaking cultural tradition by extending the typical blessing of the firstborn to Joseph’s secondborn. This went against all the rules. Had Grandpa finally lost it in his old age? No. After many decades of missing the point, Jacob was…
When Jacob goes to bless his grandsons, he flips his hands around like his fathers before him. Despite Jacob’s many misunderstandings of God, he has come to learn something about him: God tends to do things differently. Hear more in today’s podcast episode.
