In this heartfelt and insightful sermon from Pastor Karl, we explore the biblical concept of the church as a family, drawing from 1 Timothy Chapter 5. Pastor Karl emphasizes that the church thrives on relationships, not rules, and celebrates the community's role in honoring milestones like graduations and new births. He highlights the importance of mentorship, showcasing how older generations mentor the younger ones in faith and character. Delving into 1 Timothy, Pastor Karl unpacks Paul's guidance to Timothy, a young leader in the challenging city of Ephesus, on how to lead the church family with honor and wisdom. Key themes include guarding the gospel, maintaining order, prioritizing character in leadership, and training diligently in faith. Pastor Karl addresses practical church responsibilities, such as caring for "true widows" with compassion and criteria, ensuring family members take primary responsibility for their kin. He also tackles the sensitive topic of honoring church leaders, advocating for fair compensation that balances care and accountability. Finally, Pastor Karl connects the concept of servitude to modern employer-employee relationships, urging Christians to work diligently for both earthly and heavenly masters, not out of duty, but out of love for Christ, who calls us friends.

In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony explore Paul's letter to Philemon, unpacking its rich theological and practical implications. At the heart of the discussion is Paul's appeal for Onesimus, a runaway slave who has become a Christian. Paul's letter serves as a vivid demonstration of how the gospel transforms relationships, highlighting the themes of forgiveness, restitution, and reconciliation. The hosts reflect on the radical nature of grace, which not only calls for the restoration of broken relationships but also compels believers to go above and beyond in their love and service to one another. Jesse and Tony dive into the profound theological principles embedded in Paul's words, including substitutionary atonement and the unity of believers in Christ. They explore how Paul's appeal models the gospel itself, showcasing Christ's substitution on behalf of sinners. The letter is not just a personal plea but also a public call to let the grace of Christ reshape every aspect of Christian conduct and community. This episode challenges listeners to consider how their own relationships and interactions reflect the gospel's transformative power. The discussion also touches on practical applications of Christian unity, such as church membership and the unique bonds between believers. The hosts examine what it means to live out the radical call to Christian fellowship in everyday life, from supporting fellow believers in times of need to fostering harmony in the church. With humor, depth, and compelling insights, this episode encourages listeners to embrace the scandalously generous grace of God in all their relationships. Key Points: Paul's Letter to Philemon as a Model of Gospel Transformation Paul's appeal for Onesimus reflects key gospel principles such as forgiveness, reconciliation, and substitution, illustrating how the gospel reshapes relationships and communities. The Radical Unity of Believers The episode highlights the unity of Christians as a reflection of the unity found in the Trinity. This unity has profound implications for how believers treat one another in both personal and public spheres. Restitution and Responsibility in Christian Conduct Jesse and Tony discuss Paul's emphasis on restitution, noting that conversion does not erase past wrongs but increases the believer's responsibility to make things right in light of the gospel. Practical Implications of Christian Fellowship The hosts explore how the biblical call to Christian unity should impact relationships in various contexts, including church membership, workplace dynamics, and neighborly interactions. The Scandal of Grace Grace is presented as a radical and scandalous force that calls believers to love, forgive, and restore relationships in ways that mirror Christ's love for His people. Questions for Reflection: How does Paul's appeal for Onesimus challenge your understanding of forgiveness and restitution? In what ways can you reflect the unity of believers in your relationships with fellow Christians? How does the concept of substitutionary atonement impact the way you view your responsibilities toward others? Are there areas in your life where you struggle to extend grace or reconciliation to others? How can your involvement in your local church reflect the radical unity and love described in Paul's letter to Philemon?

Do you want deeper, more meaningful friendships? What if the key isn't about finding the right people—but being the right kind of friend?In this powerful message, Pastor Mark explores God's original call to Abraham in Genesis 12:2–3: “I will bless you… and you will be a blessing.” From the very beginning, God's plan has been to use ordinary people to share extraordinary love—and the best friendships are built by those who live to bless others.

In today's episode, we're exploring intimacy - a concept that's far more complex than most of us realize. My guest, Erin Moniz, has been studying how we connect, disconnect, and misunderstand relationships in our current cultural moment. We'll dig into some critical questions: What does intimacy actually mean beyond romantic relationships? How have cultural messages - both inside and outside the church - distorted our understanding of connection? And what might a more holistic approach to knowing and being known look like? Erin brings a unique perspective as a college chaplain who's counseled countless emerging adults navigating relationships. We'll discuss how technology impacts our connections, why friendships matter as much as romantic partnerships, and how the gospel offers a different framework for understanding human relationships. This isn't a prescriptive how-to conversation, but an exploration of our fundamental human need for genuine connection. We'll challenge some assumptions about singleness, marriage, and community, and hopefully provide a more nuanced view of intimacy. So join us.Rev. Erin F. Moniz (DMin, Trinity School for Ministry) is a deacon in the Anglican Church in North America and associate chaplain and director for chapel at Baylor University, where she disciples emerging adults and journeys with them toward healthy, gospel-centered relationships.

In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse Schwamb dives deep into the rich and challenging teachings of Colossians 3:18–4:1 on Christian household ethics. With Tony absent, Jesse takes the reins to explore the revolutionary and countercultural aspects of Paul's instructions to wives, husbands, children, and slaves. He emphasizes how these teachings, though often misunderstood or misapplied, are deeply rooted in the lordship of Christ and the call for submission, love, and service within the family structure. Jesse begins by highlighting the groundbreaking nature of Paul's acknowledgment of women, children, and slaves in a societal context where these groups often held little to no value. Paul's direct address to these groups affirms their inherent worth as image-bearers of God. Jesse also challenges listeners to see how Paul's instructions to men, particularly husbands and fathers, subvert the cultural norms of the time by calling them to love and serve their families sacrificially, rather than exercising dominance. The discussion extends to the broader implications of Paul's teaching, focusing on how Christ's lordship should permeate every aspect of family life. Jesse draws attention to the transformative power of living out these principles in modern Christian households, urging listeners to embrace submission and service not as burdens, but as acts of worship and reverence for Christ. Key Points: Paul's Revolutionary Address to Marginalized Groups: Paul affirms the value of women, children, and slaves by addressing them directly, which was unprecedented in the cultural context of the Roman Empire. The Call for Husbands to Love and Serve: Paul challenges traditional male authority by instructing husbands and fathers to lead with love and avoid harshness, reflecting Christ's sacrificial love. Christ-Centered Family Dynamics: All family relationships are to be oriented around Christ's lordship, emphasizing submission and service as acts of worship. The Surprising Ethics of Slavery: While acknowledging the existence of slavery in the Roman world, Paul subverts its norms by reminding masters of their accountability to their own Master in heaven. Questions for Reflection: How does Paul's affirmation of marginalized groups in Colossians challenge societal norms, both in his time and today? In what ways does the call for husbands to love their wives mirror Christ's love for the Church? How can we ensure that Christ remains at the center of our family relationships and everyday interactions? What does submission look like in a modern Christian household, and how can it reflect reverence for Christ?

Living as a saint means actively participating in God's kingdom work through sincere love and humble service. This involves loving without conditions, taking emotional risks, and being willing to have difficult conversations when necessary. True Christian love holds others accountable while considering them more important than ourselves, demonstrating genuine care without expecting anything in return.This lifestyle requires avoiding spiritual laziness while maintaining fervor in serving God. Christians are called to share with those in need, pursue hospitality, and live in harmony through humility. When faced with persecution, the response should be blessing rather than revenge, maintaining peace whenever possible, and focusing on eternal matters. This includes practical actions like helping enemies and viewing the world through Scripture's perspective rather than conforming to worldly patterns.Support the show

Uniquely Christian relationships pursue entirely new patterns.

Uniquely Christian relationships pursue entirely new patterns.

Sunday Service: In various Christian relationships—whether in marriage, church, or friendships—believers often struggle within them. As a result, many avoid these relationships or withdraw from them altogether. Some choose not to marry because they believe it is too difficult, while others divorce when challenges arise. Some stop attending church because they struggle to get along with others, or they claim they prefer friendships with non-believers, believing that fellow Christians are hypocritical. However, this approach to Christian relationships is incorrect because Jesus calls us, as His body, to be unified. We cannot achieve unity if we avoid relationships with one another.

In this episode of Father and Joe, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks dive deep into the promises of Christ and their transformative power in our lives. Reflecting on the profound truth that "heaven is being in perfect relationship with everyone," this discussion highlights the essence of God's love, forgiveness, and constant presence in our lives.Father Boniface eloquently reminds us:"Jesus promises really always to forgive and to have mercy. He promises always to be with us. I will be with you always to the end of the age."The conversation centers on how Christ's promises are eternal truths designed to guide us, console us, and draw us closer to Him.

In this episode, Mike and Alicia keep diving into the complex relationship of man and woman in marriage. It is vitally important that we keep in mind that we need to act according to our nature to have a successful, peaceful marriage! Part of this is realizing that there is a dance that happens between spouses - that is the giving and receiving. So what some fundamentalists may call “headship” we would say this is really men giving to their wives and families because this is what enables them to receive. What others may call “submission” we would say is really women receiving from their husbands in order to give. This is where the idea of “mutual submission” comes from. Both men and women are called to give and receive, but it is in a different order. Listen in and send us your questions! We would love to tackle them in a future episode! Key Takeaways: The Fall broke the unity between husband and wife and made them distrust each other.  Adam was passive and Eve took the initiative.  This was disordered.  Jesus elevated marriage to a sacrament and called us all to something greater.  To a supernatural call that only He can give us the grace to accomplish. Both husband and wife are called to give and to receive, but the order is reversed.  Men are called to GIVE in order to RECIEVE.  Women must RECIEVE in order to GIVE.  This is the difference between leadership and submission.  Husbands need to learn to receive from their wives, and wives need to learn how to give from their husbands.   Couple Discussion: What does our “dance” look like in our home?  How to be operate when we make decisions? When we run the family?  How easy is it for him to give first in our home?  How can we both support that initiative?   Are there areas in which he is receiving without giving?   Are there areas in which she is giving without first receiving?   Resources Fr.
