Kidnapped, enslaved, and forgotten—until God spoke in a dream. The story of Patrick isn’t just history; it’s an invitation. What happens when we say yes to God, even when it leads us back to the places we’d rather avoid?
Why is there a crystal sea before God’s throne in Heaven in the book of Revelation? The answer is found in an ancient understanding of the cosmos, which we moderns often miss due to our own conception of the universe. Learn more in today’s episode and then join us to discuss it further on our…
I preached on ancient cosmology at Westwinds this morning. Many thanks to their staff for all their help and for Jacob McGarry for the awesome slides/animations to accompany my message. For anyone who wants to go deeper, here’s some great scholarly resources for you. The Unseen Realm is my top favorite book at all time,…
John reports a number of intriguing things that he sees in God’s throne room: gems, rainbows, thrones, storms, a sea of glass, different kinds of strange beings, and more. While this all sound strange, we’ve seen these kinds of things before in the Bible. Let’s dissect a few of these elements as we move into…
In our final letter to the seven churches of Revelation, we uncover quite a few interesting “prophetic geographical statements” that Jesus makes to the people of Laodicea. Learn more and then join the conversation on our Discord! http://www.jxncloud.com/discord
It sounds a bit odd that Jesus called Philadelphia “pillars” until you understand their geographical context. Well, apparently it always sounds odd to Casey no matter how much you explain it, but THERE ARE NO PERFECT ANALOGIES CASEY!
When Jesus called the church at Sardis to “wake up” because he would come “like a thief,” there were a whole lot of historical undertones they would have heard that we completely miss when we read Revelation today. In this episode we take a look at Sardis’s history to understand the intensity of Jesus’s words.…
To kick off our new series on inner healing, Jamin first talks about geographical locations and the authority we have as Christians to cleanse it and invite the Holy Spirit into it. This will lead to further discussion on cleansing our bodies as sacred space for the Holy Spirit.
In our last message on Romans, we hit on three quick themes: (1) Paul’s women in ministry, (2) Paul’s desire to take the gospel to the ends of the earth and (3) how the Holy Spirit brought the Old Testament to life for Paul and the other New Testament writers with fresh revelation.
In Bible school, students are taught to never take the Bible out of context when they quote it. Yet the Bible does this quite often. Why is that?
In the letter to Thyatira, we learn about a local figure called Jezebel, upon which most of their letter rests. Jesus seems to have little critique for those who have separated themselves from her, but for those who have been following her and her teaching, Jesus has a massive warning. Who is Jezebel and what…
