In Episode #4, Pastor Cory jumps in to answer questions that were stirred by the Weekend Message on Genesis 6:1-4. In one of the most strange and challenging passages in the Bible, this passage accounts how angelic beings leave heaven and take human women and impregnate them, ultimately creating a special kind of offspring known in the Bible as Nephilim. These beings were described as Giants and their existence gives us an important context in understanding the Biblical flood story. If you haven't heard Pastor Cory's message on this passage, you can find it here. https://harvestsprings.com/media/on-demand PC answers a few questions from the weekend, specifically: *How did the Nephilim return after the flood? *Are there still Nephilim today?

Ever wonder why God allowed sin into the world? In this episode, Pastor Cory navigates two major questions that are actually tied together in a surprising way. First, Pastor Cory clarifies a concept from his message taking issue with the idea that "The Bible is a love letter from God to mankind." Clearly, the Bible places an importance on Love, but how do you reconcile these two concepts? This leads into a second question that dives into the simple, yet profound ideas surrounding the Garden of Eden, the Fruit of the Tree, and why God would create the tree if He knew that Adam and Eve were going to fall. This episode answers some major questions that Christians often wrestle with and drives home the significance of Love, Loyalty, and Faithfulness in our relationship with God. Got Questions?

In Episode #2, Pastor Cory flies solo as he recaps this week's message, and why it's important for Christians to understand that the “Heavenly Realms” are much more diverse and expansive than we often think, and that there is a supernatural structure that exists that influences our dimension. After this, he answers a significant question in this arena, “If God is God, why does He need a Divine Counsel?” Cory wraps up the Episode by unpacking why having a Worldview that includes the “Divine Counsel” is important for a believer, and how it empowers our participation in “The Cosmic War”.
