Issue 13: The Empty Throne Part 3 - Aftermath Darkly  A new solution has been revealed, at great cost. It is a chance for the continued survival of those beings of old lore and fable who have survived thus far in the new state of the world and its spiritual existence. The next step is to convince those ancient creatures to adapt to their new reality, one way or the other.

Issue 12: The Empty Throne Part 2 - Hunting Ground As a result of their new found abilities and powers, our Heroes are asked to stop the corruption that is plaguing the surviving forces of “old magic” in the Empty Thrones ruins. They must slay the mutated ruler of the creepy cannibal mage clones they faced earlier: The Rex-Url King. Doing so will give them the ability to free the survivors of this reality… but will they surrender such power? Will they even defeat the corrupted Earl King?

As we look at the narrative of Judges 17-18 we can see a picture of a people who claim the name of the Lord, but are truly serving gods they have made unto themselves. Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

As we close our study in the life of Samson we can see the Scriptures pointing us to faith in God through the final prayer he prayed to God. Because the Bible tells us his faith was genuine we can see some very real things about the nature of God and how He saves & sanctifies us.Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

In chapter 16, we find the spiral of Samson's life spiraling down and ultimately coming to a fall. In this message we will see the dangers of operating in the flesh in the way we live, the way we love, and in the way we lose.Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

By Judges 15 the life of Samson is a contradiction of God's blessing & spiritual power in a man who is impulsive, unteachable, and driven by his own fleshly desires.Samson is living by the mantra, "As they did unto me, so have I done unto them..." In Samson we have the example of the lust of the flesh, so what does it mean to "walk in the Spirit", and how is it possible?Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

After the miraculous announcement of the birth of Samson in chapter 13, we would expect some incredible Judge to come ikon the scene & deliver Israel from its enemies. Instead we are left in the remaining chapters with a fleshly, impulse driven, sex addicted scoundrel who is unreachable and out of control. Yet the perplexing truth is that God has chosen Samson, He will inevitably use Samson, He will work through His flesh & sin, and ultimate accomplish His will. What can we glean from this bad example who is far more focused on his own giftedness, than the fruit that should be produced in his life? We discover the Bible distinctions between gifts and fruit in this message from Judges 14:1-15:7. Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

As we begin to look at the final cyclical judge in the Book, God reveals some things about His desire both to know us, and give to us of His Spirit through the life of Samson.Whose eyes matter when determining right and wrong in our lives, and what has God given us that is better than rules whereby we can know Him? We find out together as we study Judges 13.Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

Even with the presence of God's Spirit in us we are still capable of terrible things. This was the case of Jephthah. With his beliefs about God heavily influenced by the culture he was living in, he foolishly promised something he should never have.Jephthah, though well intentioned, is the picture of what we look like when we try to allow truth and error to coexist in our lives.Jesus is the perfect Judge who delivers us from ourselves.Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

Who we worship we serve.Who we serve owns us.Who owns us controls us.Choose who you will serve whether it be the gods of this world or the one true and living God, and His name is Jesus!From Judges 10:6-16Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

In Judges 9 we see the picture of a man in Abimilech that promotes himself, and lives a life to get all that his flesh desires. In contrast we see the trust in the Lord in Jotham, and the grace of God through Tola and Jair to save Israel from themselves.From this may we learn the destruction of self-reliance, and the corrupt nature of our flesh. To understand that our greatest battles will be with our own desires, and the key to overcoming them is yielding to God's will.Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

When we have a measure of success we often feel deserved of admiration.When we are given a position of power, we need to protect our hearts from using it to lift up ourselves and abuse others.These are the Lessons we need to learn from the failures we see in Gideon at the end of his career as a Judge over Israel.Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

As we conclude chapter 7 of the book of Judges, we see God assuring His fearful servant through the reminder of His Word, the actions of others, and the circumstances that are facing him. Like Gideon we are continual need of reassurance, so God gives us His Word, others, and the circumstances of life to assure us of His love for us, and the confidence we should have in Him. If you've ever struggled with assurance, this message is for you.Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

As we continue out study through Judges, we see through the life of Gideon that God wanted Israel to be certain who it was that would receive glory for their victory. He knew that if their salvation was by their works, they would have cause to boast in themselves and not in Him. We too would have reason to boast if our salvation was in ourselves and not completely in Christ. Who gets the glory? Jesus alone!Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

A look into the questions we often ask God when we are facing troubles from Judges 6:11-40.Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

Are you stuck in a cycle of sin, regretful about your past, and unable to break free? Perhaps you have confused the “worldly sorrow” of regret with the “godly sorrow” that produced repentance. At the Cross we find the balance of Holiness and Grace without the compromise of either, and the key to breaking the cycle of sin. Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

When we lay Judges 4 and 5 next to each other in study we get both the historical and theological perspective of what God is wanting to teach us about Faith and Glory. Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

God brings deliverance to His people through unexpected people and in unexpected ways. In this message we look at the "left-hander" Ehud. Was he handicapped, or just overlooked enough to accomplish the assassination of Eglon and bring 80 years of peace to Israel? Either way God used him in an unusual and unexpected way. A message from our study in Judges from chapter 3 verses 12-31.Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

God tells us in Judges 3:7 that doing evil involves forgetting Him, and serving other gods. When we forget God it's not that we have a loss in memory, but rather we fail to allow what we believe to be real to us, and therefore it has no control over us. Listen as we discuss how to cure this Heart Amnesia from Judges 3:1-11.Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

Listen in on the message from Judges 2:10-3:6.Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

What does a truly idolatrous generation look like, and how does it become that way? Israel forgets God and then forsakes God. How can we prevent this from our own lives, and the generations to follow? Listen in on the message from Judges 2:10-3:6.Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

After hearing Israel's report from Judges 1 and their reasoning for not being able to obey God fully for all the difficulties they faced, we hear from God's perspective in Judges 2 as He speaks, and tells them their problem is not inability, but disobedience.How are our "can't"s really "won't"s? In what areas has our half-hearted discipleship become full blown idolatry?Support the show (http://pushpay.com/pay/opendoornj)

A study in the book of Judges. In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Judges 21:25God relentlessly offers His grace to people who do not deserve it, or seek it, or even appreciate it after they have been saved by it.

What is LARP? In this podcast, our panel answers this question and everyone has a very different answer.We also cover Kai Norman's experiences running his own LARP, his first opening game of Dystopia Rising: NorCal and things he has learned from that.Our guests are Jared Rico, who plays in various LARPs in SoCal including Twin Mask and Empty Thrones and known colloquially as the "Meme Goblin," and Cyn's sister, Lex, who is a player in Twin Mask and the One World by Night Vampire game, LaSangre.
