Jesus tells the story of a certain rich man who clothed himself in fine linen and feasted luxuriously every day while, just outside his door, lay a certain poor man named Lazarus. Both men died, but their lopsided relationship did not come to an end. What happened next? Join us as we discuss the story of the rich man and the poor man and the lesson Jesus wants us to know.

Jesus tells the story of a rich man who had entrusted his business to a manager, but the manager squandered his boss's wealth and was fired. The failed manager set about trying to make things right by smartly collecting on his boss's debts, and soon was back in good favor. Jesus uses the story to remind his listeners that we've all been entrusted with precious things, and the expectation is that we will be faithful in them, no matter how small.

Charlie Kirk was a polarizing figure. For some, he was seen as a model Christian man who advocated for solid Christian values. But for others, his message was far from anything Jesus would teach. His violent death this week has stirred up lots of strong emotions from both sides, some of them strong and bitter. Do we who believe that every life is sacred believe that Charlie's life was too?

Where is God in the battlefield, in the hospital? Where is God in the life of those who are suffering? Is it possible to see God? What does God look like? Is God appealing to us today, or is God outdated and irrelevant to the world we live in now?

How long should we wait for God to show up? How long should we hurt, worry, and be afraid before God's promises become real to us? In our instant society, we've grown less and less patient with each other, and almost certainly with God. But when it is time, we can count on God to be there for us.

There's a story in the Bible of the time Jesus healed a woman who was bent over with sickness. One Sabbath, she happened to encounter the healer, and his compassion went into overdrive. He was moved by her pain and how it was limiting her ability to live and serve others. However, the religious authorities were not moved at all by her pain; they were angry that Jesus would break their rules and heal her on the Sabbath. Was Jesus wrong? Were the religious leaders?

There is a thought among some charismatic evangelical Christians that living as a Christian means joining Jesus' army of spiritual fighters. Some go as far as incorporating warfare language in their lessons and songs. Did Jesus ever advocate for "violence"? What should we do with Jesus' confession that he came to cause division? Why would he want to "bring fire upon the earth"?

Many of us have been brought up to believe in the rapture, the notion that one day, at any time, Jesus will return to earth and snatch all the Christians away, leaving a world full of "bad people" trying to endure God's wrath and survive the tribulation. How truthful is this teaching? What does the bible have to say about it?
