    United in Christ
    Mar 29 2026
    Introduction: The Soil Where Joy Grows Paul’s letter to the Philippians is saturated with joy, but that joy is never detached from how believers treat one another. As Paul turns to Philippians 2 , he addresses a quiet threat to the church’s joy, not persecution from outside, but self-centeredness within.…

    Jacob Part 22: Jacob Returns to Bethel
    Mar 25 2026
    Jacob Returns to Bethel We are wrapping things up. And interestingly, that is how all of these sections start to feel, like we're wrapping up unresolved threads from earlier in the story in really interesting ways. third and final section makes up most of what we call Genesis 35 and 36.

It's highly disturbing, and it's gonna repeat patterns that we have seen at the center of the other two acts. Recall that in the first act, you had the story of the twins and deceptions as…

  • To Live Is Christ, To Die Is Gain

    To Live Is Christ, To Die Is Gain
    Mar 8 2026
    Introduction: A Statement That Reorients Everything Few sentences in Scripture are as concise and as demanding as Paul’s words in Philippians 1:21 : “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” This is not a poetic flourish or a slogan for difficult times. Paul is not writing from comfort or security.…
