Series: OtherService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallAt the end of Romans the Apostle Paul emphasizes his deep relationships with the Christians in Rome. He makes an explicit effort to name specific people he wanted to give praise to for work they have done to further Paul's journeys and the gospel of Christ. He also includes men that he is with who want to reach out and encourage the members of the Church of Rome for the sake of motivating them and sharing love in the body of Christ.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallThe early church in Rome was made up of both Jews and Gentiles, who historically did not like one another as groups. Inherently this caused conflict in the church. Both groups held the other to unfair standards and looked down on one another for certain practices and behaviors. In chapters 13 and 14 Paul moves on from conflict and encourages the different groups in the church to be unified. In a foundation of love he encourages them to focus on increasing faith, put others before themselves, and to not be so critical of one another regarding issues that were of…

Series: OtherService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallThanks for joining us for this weeks episode! Today we continue to discuss conflict between Jews & Gentiles in the early church. Last week In Romans 9 and 10 Paul urged the Jews to not hold Gentile Christians to the Law that they couldn't even keep. In chapters 11 and 12 Paul reminds Gentiles that they are branches grafted into God's family tree. Neither group is better than the other and Paul warns both of them not to look down on each other, but encourages them to become unified and to love one another more than self. We tie this…

Series: OtherService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallWelcome to another week of You Are From God. Today we are discussing Romans 9 & 10. We enter into practical application of what the first half of Romans was preparing the readers for. Paul calls out challenges that the church in Rome is facing as Jews and Gentiles have to work to be united. We see that Jews hold themselves highly for their knowledge, and Gentiles for their zeal, and we see how the body of Christ is made of people with different skills to pursue the purpose of God as one.

Series: Holy SpiritService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallWelcome back to You Are From God. As we continue in Romans 7 & 8 we discuss how the law God gave Moses held men captive to sin. We contrast that to the freedom from the law we now have through the salvation Jesus has brought to us. We are no longer held captive by the law and sin, but transformed by the Spirit of God. Consider with us how our new faith justifies us and restores us as Children of God by His grace.

Join us in our exploration of a sobering foundation from Paul: we all need the Gospel. Not just as a nice idea, but because our situation without it is serious. We learn the difference between outward religious action and genuine heart transformation, the tension between Jewish and Gentile believers, and why God's kindness, tolerance, and patience are meant to lead us to repentance.

Series: LeadershipService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallThanks again for joining us for another week. In today's episode let's talk about what is sound in the eyes of God. Sound doctrine is often a controversial term, but Paul states clearly what is sound doctrine and sound faith in regard to God's desire for the church. In Titus 1, 2, & Proverbs 5 we look into what God desires for His children. We see Paul teach about self control and sacrifice for the sake of our family.

Series: OtherService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallIn this week's episode we discuss the heavy moments of Jesus' death and resurrection. In Mark 15 & 16 we run into a wide range of responses to the man that Jesus was and is. Many ridicule him and mock him, some simply do not understand the weight of what is happening, and others are compelled to honor him. While reading these passages we feel the weight of our sin, but also the love that Jesus has for us that caused him to remain on the cross. We get to decide how we respond to that love because Jesus showed…

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallThanks for joining us for our weekly Bible reading discussion. Today we will reflect on how Jesus masterfully exercises the authority of God to evil men. In Mark 11 & 12 Jesus shows how he handles being tested and gives incredible responses to questions that are meant to trap and accuse him. He rebukes the corruption of the temple by the leaders, answers questions about the law given by Moses, and teaches of faith that can do the unthinkable. Through all of these interactions Jesus acts out of reverence for his Father and love toward those who reject him.

Series: WisdomService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallIn this episode we contrast how living life relying on our human understanding leads us astray versus how living through full trust in God will lead us to purpose and greatness. Proverbs reinforces the guidance a father gives his child to maintain purity of mind and seek a life of Godly wisdom. In Mark 9 & 10 we see the distraction a man's own understanding brings. Jesus exposes the fault in his disciples' thinking and shows them what greatness actually looks like. Jesus teaches a heart that has the faith of a child in God. A heart of humility that…

Series: Purity of HeartService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallIn this episode we will consider the importance of seeing the spiritual significance of our behaviors and mindset, how Jesus can purify our hearts in spite of our sinful state, and how to maintain it while living in a culture that celebrates evil. Jesus shows the Pharisees how they have been blinded and corrupted by their attempt to follow traditions in Mark 7, brings his disciples back to clarity when they were distracted by physical challenges, and reveals spiritual truths through healing the sight of the blind in Mark 8.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallThe birth of God's Son was not met with fanfare, distinguished attendees, or royal accommodations. Even still, the circumstances surrounding the birth of the Messiah gave so much for Mary and others to treasure up in their hearts. 

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallAfter the better part of nine months unable to speak, Zechariah confirms in writing that his son's name is John. He then breaks into praise and prophecy about what God is doing and will do through John and the Messiah, highlighting the faithful love and mercy of the heavenly Father. 

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallAs Mary receives further confirmation that God is at work through her, she breaks into praise and exaltation of God as the Savior. God's people magnify His name when we reflect on His mighty deeds. 

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallTwo people receive amazing news from the angel Gabriel; but while their initial responses seem the same, their hearts received the "impossible" news differently.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallThe end of Paul's letter to the church in Philippi reminds all of us that contentment isn't something that happens to us, but a choice we make. And we can be truly content when we rest in the strength supplied by Jesus Christ through all situations and seasons. 

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallGod gives us a command to rejoice always. The only way we can actually obey is if we rejoice "in the Lord," and Paul gives some practical direction on how we go about doing so.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallJoy only comes and remains in our lives when our minds are set on the things that cultivate it. When we set our minds on earthly things, the fleeting pleasures leave us hollow. Instead, Paul teaches that our thoughts and goals ought to be set on the eternal, spiritual promises of God made possible through Jesus.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallOur sense of confidence and gain can come from so many places. But Paul shares from personal experience that those things don't bring true, lasting joy. We continue in Philippians to see why giving up any worldly gain is worth laying hold of the surpassing worth of gaining Christ. 

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallPursuing genuine joy requires that we set our interests in line with Jesus's interests. This involves embracing holiness through Christ Himself, as well as loving service to and sacrifice for other people.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallJesus was the most important person in every room he ever walked into. And yet, the King of kings sought to care for and serve every other soul in those rooms. This is the humility that Jesus's followers must have.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallWe struggle to find joy in circumstances that are not ideal. But true, Biblical joy comes from responding to situations and making decisions with a mind to pursue and proclaim Jesus--come what may.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallWe have discussed the principle of Biblical joy on this program before. Today we begin a series that will take us through Paul's letter to the Philippians in an effort to examine how Paul (from prison!) teaches fellow Christians to choose joy and demonstrates this practice himself. 

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Tyler Hall and Steven MatthewsOn this episode, special guest Steven Matthews joins us to discuss the story of David and Goliath and apply lessons from this timeless event to our spiritual battles today. 

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallWe treat time like money: we try to save it, we seek to invest it, and we want to avoid wasting it. This precious resource comes from our Creator, and He will hold us accountable for how we choose to use it.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallOne of the ways we make sense of our world is through comparisons. We naturally analyze similarities and differences between two things and, correctly or otherwise, come away with conclusions. But what happens when we base our sense of self-esteem and -value on comparing ourselves to other people? Jesus teaches us a better way. 

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor, Tyler Hall, and We recently sat down with Hal Hammons from the Citizen of Heaven podcast and recorded a few episodes about Biblical character. This episode is the beginning of that conversation, and we hope you enjoy listening to it! You can find our full conversation with Hal released over the first few days of September over on his podcast: halhammons.buzzsprout.com

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallWe have spoken much about living out our hope in Jesus Christ without shame. The motivation for this comes from knowing that God is not ashamed of us, but wants to lift us up and fulfill all His amazing promises to us in Christ. 

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallFollowing Jesus comes with sharing in his suffering. But we are reminded that we shouldn't feel shame about these ordeals; rather, they provide an opportunity to show our allegiance to the Lord while leaning on Him for strength. 

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallGod says in His word that faith is a building process. As we did in our recent Vacation Bible School, we consider a few Old Testament characters who demonstrate the qualities that amplify our faith in God and His promises.  

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallBelieving in God and living a life according to the pattern of Bible truth may bring disapproval from the world around you. But the Lord tells His children that they have no need to be ashamed of following Him. 

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallOne man in ancient Israel thought his sin didn't make a big difference in the conquest of Canaan. Yet his error, and downfall from there, impress powerful lessons on us as readers regarding how we think about sin and what it means to break faith with the Lord. 

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallAs the Lord concludes the proclamation of His name to Moses in Exodus 34, He reveals His heart to forgive as well as His unwavering sense of justice. Rather than contradicting each other, these final two traits open our eyes to our greatest need and God's greatest solution. 

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallThe kindness and faithfulness of God overflows to humankind. He is consistent in these qualities, which makes Him the source of the greatest and most reliable hope we could ever imagine.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallGod is slow to anger. What does that mean, and how can we as His image-bearing people manage our human emotions in the same way?

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallIf you want to know what God is like, you must learn the meaning of both mercy and grace. These two qualities bring God's love to practical bearings on both human history and our individual lives. As those who bear His image, we must learn to practice and grow in these characteristics as well. 

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallMoses asks God to see His glory. The Lord tells Moses that He'll make His goodness pass before him. Both the glory and the goodness of Yahweh are revealed as He proclaims His name, the LORD, to his servant on Mount Sinai. What do we learn about our Creator from this encounter?

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallJesus calls us to put others before ourselves. This is a never-ending effort, and we must constantly self-reflect to keep our egos and prejudices in check. Today we dig into a passage of Scripture that prompts three questions to help us slow down and rein in selfish motives and attitudes.

Series: N/AService: You Are From GodType: You Are From GodSpeaker: Scott Taylor & Tyler HallLabels have a way of sticking. Whether it's by choices we've made or circumstances we've encountered, people use shortcuts to categorize and identify each other. Rather than being defined by these labels, the transformation found in Jesus Christ offers a reinterpretation of these labels, which is made possible by a new identity defined by His lordship in our lives.
