Send us a text In this Village Sermon podcast, Pastor Daniel returns from vacation and shares why he believes people should seriously consider committing to the Village Church for the year. He explains the importance of belonging, first to God, and then to one another. Part of being connected to a church, he says, is agreeing to communicate that shared belonging in Christ to each other. Support the showThe Village Church's sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose. Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Sermon OutlineGod takes from us the arrythmia of anger.God resolves in us dissonance of desire.God tunes our hearts to sing His praise.Questions on Hebrews 13:1–8Do you think desire is a good thing in and of itself? Why or why not?Consider this quote from CS Lewis: "Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” What is Lewis suggesting about our desires?How does the image of a "choir" reshape your image of the Christian life? In what areas of life do you find yourself operating as a soloist?Who are the "strangers" in your life? What would it look like for you to love the stranger?Resources ConsultedGareth Lee Cockerill, The Epistle to the HebrewsHarold Attridge, The Epistle to the HebrewsOrigen of Alexandria, Homilies on the PsalmsPope John Paul II, "Undocumented Migrants"C.S.

In this empowering episode of Inspiration Nation, Lee Kemp and Ryan Boniface explore the wisdom behind the CS Lewis quote: “You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” With Jose away, the duo digs deep into the power of resilience, reframing regret, and embracing the “day one” mentality. They share personal stories, practical tools like journaling, and mindset shifts that help listeners turn past mistakes into momentum for a better future.From adopting a growth mindset to focusing on marginal gains and future-self thinking, this episode is packed with real talk and actionable advice. Whether you're looking to restart your journey, fix broken relationships, or simply push toward your goals, this one's for you. Treat your past as a lesson bank, not a life sentence.

And if you have read it, welcome to the club!In this episode, Ryan tells Trevor all about The Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis, which includes the books Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength. Through this trilogy, Lewis sets out an optimistic fictional take on space travel and intelligent life on other planets, painting humanity and Earth as the central and greatest enemy of God in the universe, rather than some species out there being worse and stronger than us. Having been written during WWII in the 1940's and before space travel, there are tons of interesting takes on space travel, the makeup of other planets, and different uses of power and government.Join the conversation by commenting what you thought about our conversation or the books themselves!

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron dive deep into That Hideous Strength, the final and most complex book of C.S. Lewis's Ransom Trilogy. Rather than offering a typical plot summary, they explore the prophetic theological themes that Lewis weaves into this dystopian narrative—from technocratic utopianism and demonic deception to the seduction of power and the spiritual cost of compromise. Originally written in 1945, this novel's relevance to the challenges Christians face in 2025 is both unsettling and illuminating. Nathan and Cameron connect Lewis's fiction to The Abolition of Man, The Inner Ring, and present-day issues like AI, media manipulation, transhumanism, and the loss of transcendence in modern culture. Perfect for Christians seeking rich theological reflection on current events, this conversation challenges believers to slow down, cultivate virtue, and recover a vision of reality where spirit precedes matter and truth is not up for negotiation.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

We explore Romans 8:18-27 and discover what it means to live in the "in-betweenness of time" - after Christ's victory on the cross but before His return to make all things new.• Like decisive battles that determine wars before they officially end, Christ has already won the victory over sin and death• Creation itself groans and waits eagerly for Christ's return and restoration• When sin entered the world, all creation fell under the curse - not just humanity• As believers, we have the "first fruits of the Spirit" as a down payment of what's to come• The Holy Spirit intercedes for us with "groanings too deep for words" when we don't know how to pray• Just as CS Lewis wrote about the day when "the summer will come true," we await the day when Christ returns• The sufferings of this present time cannot compare to the glory that will be revealed to usJoin us at First Baptist El Dorado as we continue our journey through Romans.

Lastly, to learn more about our ministry endeavors or get one of my missionary biographies, visit PrayGiveGo.us! Why did I begin this weekly Prison Pulpit series? To remind us all to pray for persecuted pastors and believers (such as Pastor Wang Yi) as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do (“as bound with them”), by sharing from his own published writings in China, as well as anecdotes from other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand. Remember My Chains: https://chinacall.substack.com/p/remember-my-chains Today I’m going to look closer at 4 of the letters, dealing primarily with prayer, from last weekend’s podcast on the China letters of C.S. Lewis: https://chinacall.substack.com/p/the-cs-lewis-china-letters 1940- To his brother Warnie, on the burden of sympathy in a world of “instant” news: Barfield…is very much depressed, having a greater faculty than you or I for feeling the miseries of the world in general, which led to a good deal of argument, how far, as a man and a Christian, one ought to be vividly and continuously aware of, say, what it's like on the [front]line at this moment. I took the line that the present rapidity of communication, etc, imposed a burden on sympathy for which sympathy was never made: that the natural thing was to be distressed about what was happening to the poor Jones's in your own village and that the modern situation, in which journalism brings the Chinese, Russians, Finns, Poles and Turks to your notice each morning really could not be [faced] in the same way. 1946- To Dom Bede Griffiths, on a future Christian China and carrying all the world’s burdens: No, I don't think I feel like you, ‘disillusioned’. I think that though I am emotionally a fairly cheerful person my actual judgement of the world has always been what yours now is and so I have not been disappointed…When you say that nothing… has a value in itself, that everything has a value in relation to God, I couldn't agree with you more. And I often, like you, think that all the valuable future may lie with the Christened Chinaman. But one mustn't assume burdens that God does not lay upon us. It is one of the evils of rapid diffusion of news that the sorrows of all the world come to us every morning. I think each village was meant to feel pity for its own sick and poor whom it can help and I doubt if it is the duty of any private person to fix his mind on ills which he cannot help. (This may even become an escape from the works of charity we really can do to those we know). 1953- To Father Manna, on the Chinese “disaster” and Western culpability in the matter: [Dearest Father Manna, regarding] your article on [the] Chinese disaster…I used [to entertain many hopes for China myself], since missionaries have served there for many years not unsuccessfully: now it is clear, as you write, that all is on the ebb. Many have reported to me too, in letters on this subject, many atrocities, nor was this misery absent from our thoughts and prayers. Footnote- [In his letter] Fr Manna pleads for greater recognition of the gravity of Communist persecution of Christian hospital workers (as well as missionaries) in China. He argues that if [a French Communist Party leader] is arrested in the West, the Communists rise in protest. There should be no less an outcry on behalf of victimized missionaries. 1962- To Mary Van Deusen, on ignoring present pain to pray for the suffering in China: You are always in my prayers. As regards this particular matter [of moving], I sympathise both with [your husband’s] dislike of noise and your dislike of moves. I suppose one thing we must do about these minor crises is to get them into perspective. At the moment when the nuisance of the move is worst, remember that (at that precise moment) people are dying in pain and others are at their bedside, and in China children starving and men in prison camps and some of them being tortured.

I think each village was meant to feel pity for its own sick and poor whom it can help and I doubt if it is the duty of any private person to fix his mind on ills which he cannot help. (This may even become an escape from the works of charity we really can do to those we know). 1953- To Father Manna, on the Chinese “disaster” and Western culpability in the matter: [Dearest Father Manna, regarding] your article on [the] Chinese disaster…I used [to entertain many hopes for China myself], since missionaries have served there for many years not unsuccessfully: now it is clear, as you write, that all is on the ebb. Many have reported to me too, in letters on this subject, many atrocities, nor was this misery absent from our thoughts and prayers. Footnote- [In his letter] Fr Manna pleads for greater recognition of the gravity of Communist persecution of Christian hospital workers (as well as missionaries) in China. He argues that if [a French Communist Party leader] is arrested in the West, the Communists rise in protest. There should be no less an outcry on behalf of victimized missionaries. 1962- To Mary Van Deusen, on ignoring present pain to pray for the suffering in China: You are always in my prayers. As regards this particular matter [of moving], I sympathise both with [your husband’s] dislike of noise and your dislike of moves. I suppose one thing we must do about these minor crises is to get them into perspective. At the moment when the nuisance of the move is worst, remember that (at that precise moment) people are dying in pain and others are at their bedside, and in China children starving and men in prison camps and some of them being tortured.

This particular Sunday's reading from Hebrews presented us with the classic definition of faith. Can you call it to mind? Faith is far more than a feeling. Scripture labels as faith a thing or ability that “sees” a long, long way beyond what human senses can confirm in the moment. In other words, it's Holy Spirit-inspired perceiving/believing. Language fails, but somehow faith is a thing you can stand on and trust that you won't fall, but at the same time it's a super sense can gaze far into the unknown. That's what the ancients were commended for. They never received the promised made to them while living, but they still saw them way off in the distance and waved at them. Waiving at the future. What faith! Do you have the faith to wave at the future God has prepared for you? Join us!

After a brief intro and the first Lewis letter (1:05), I share all ten C.S. Lewis letters that I found this week related to China (and prayer) (7:24). Then with the time I have left, I go through this week’s Pray for China cities, which include a few I want to talk a bit more about (50:55). Welcome to China Compass on the Fight Laugh Feast Network! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Follow me (@chinaadventures) on Twitter/X where I post new Chinese city prayer profiles every single day, with amazing pics and links to many more China resources. Feel free to email me (bfwesten at gmail dot com) and find everything else at PrayGiveGo.us! Although I can’t attend Grace Agenda in Moscow, ID, which starts today, entitled “Life Through the Wardrobe”, I can do something unique like look at China through Lewis’s eyes letters. C.S. Lewis mentioned China numerous times in his personal letters. Here are a few examples, followed by my own thoughts and commentary. The first one in particular stands out for how close it comes to outright racism, especially the original letter from Lewis’s brother, Warnie. But before getting into his China letters, let me mention one other Lewis letter that I just pulled up. Just after William Borden, the millionaire missionary, died in Egypt (he was about 10 years older than Lewis), there is a letter from Lewis (home sick from school) to his father. He writes: [In the] afternoon came the essay paper which was one after my own heart, the three alternative subjects being ‘The qualities of a successful soldier’ ‘The possibility of an universal language’, and ‘West is west and East is east, and never the twain shall meet’. I chose the last and applied it chiefly to the Indian question. It was much admired by some masters at the College. I share this for two reasons: First, to remind myself (and anyone else interested) of where my missionary hero Borden fits in the Lewis timeline (or vice versa). Second, to note that at just fifteen years old, Lewis already held strong opinions about the far East (in this case, India).

C. S. Lewis is a literary legend whose influence has spanned decades with his powerful and enchanting stories. Lewis's books continue to tell stories of Jesus's teachings and sacrifices through symbolism that makes them easier to understand and appreciated by all.  In this episode of Unscrolled, host Matthias Walther talks with Museum of the Bible's curator of early modern Bibles and religious culture, Wesley Viner, who is the lead curator of our current C. S. Lewis and the Myth That Became Fact exhibit on the Impact of the Bible floor. Join us as Matthias and Wesley talk about Lewis's journey to faith and why his works still stand the test of time almost 75 years later.   Guest bio:  Wesley Viner, Early Modern Bibles and Religious Culture Curator at Museum of the Bible Myth that Became Fact - https://www.museumoftheBible.org/exhibits/cs-lewisThe Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - https://www.museumofthebible.org/events/lww-onstageLewis & Tolkien - https://www.museumofthebible.org/events/lewis-and-tolkienStay up to date with Museum of the Bible on social media:  Instagram: @museumofBible  X: @museumofBible  Facebook: museumofBible  Linkedin: museumofBible  YouTube: @museumoftheBible

Send us a textIn this episode of the Village Church's sermon podcast, Pastor Eric kicks off a new series called This is Us with a sermon on creativity and how it is essential to being a formed person in Christ. He explores how truth without imagination is dead; and how imagination, without a foundation of truth, is flimsy and lacks a real grasp on meaning or reality. He talks about how creativity develops attentiveness; fosters both comfort and disruption within the community; helps renew our minds; and cultivates deeper spiritual formation. Support the showThe Village Church's sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose. Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.

Many of us have learned to see the world differently because of C. S. Lewis. But how did Lewis learn to see the world the way he did? From whom did he learn to see the marriage of the spiritual and material, of heavenly things right along with scientific things? If we go in search of answers to such questions, we find ourselves plunged into the Medieval world and encountering, among others, Dante.In his book, The Medieval Mind of C. S. Lewis, Jason Baxter helps us uncover the influence of great books on Lewis's great mind. Dr. Baxter joins me to continue our conversation which began on his work of translating Dante, to move now from Dante to Lewis, who was himself a man who lived in modern times but was not of those times.Follow-up Resources:The Medieval Mind of C. S. Lewis: How Great Books Shaped a Great Mind, by Jason M.

After we cover important home printer problems and remind you all of the import of CS Lewis telling fairy tales, we jump into this week's topic: being good at making accusations! There's actually a way to do this and we know what that is because God's word tells us so. Join us! The post Insert Accusation Here! appeared first on Sheologians.
