Listen today to “Faithfully Radical – Part 2” from Pastor Braden! This week we went deeper into what it really means to surrender to the Holy Spirit. From David's radical worship to the line-in-the-sand topic of praying in tongues, we learned that being “faithfully radical” means giving God full control—even of our words.
This week, we finish our Why Church? series in the book of Acts. In Acts 6:8-15, we see Stephen seized and brought before the Sanhedrin. We also take a quick jump forward to Acts 7:51-60 to the stoning of Stephen, highlighting his faithfulness to the Lord through trial and hardship. Pastor Eric shares three points from the text: 1) Expect trial and hardship to test faithfulness. 2) Seek the Lord for lasting faithfulness. 3) Faithfully worship the Lord through trial and hardship.

Reformed Brotherhood | Sound Doctrine, Systematic Theology, and Brotherly Love
In this thought-provoking episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Tony and Jesse dive deep into Jesus's parable of the dragnet from Matthew 13:47-50. They examine how this often-overlooked parable reveals profound truths about God's kingdom, final judgment, and the ultimate separation of the righteous from the wicked. The hosts explore the rich Old Testament connections, particularly to Habakkuk, and demonstrate how this parable complements the parable of the wheat and tares while emphasizing the judgment aspect of God's kingdom. Through careful textual analysis and theological reflection, they remind listeners that God's sovereignty extends over both salvation and judgment, challenging believers to live faithfully in light of the coming sorting. Key Takeaways The kingdom of Heaven encompasses both salvation for the righteous and judgment for the wicked - it's not merely about blessing but also includes God's sovereign rule over all outcomes. The dragnet imagery teaches that no one will escape God's judgment - everyone will be gathered and sorted, with no possibility of evasion. Hell is not the "absence of God" but rather experiencing God's presence without His grace - the unmediated wrath of God upon sinners. Jesus's use of fishing and "clean/unclean" imagery connects to Old Testament purity laws, reinforcing the idea that only those cleansed by Christ will be kept. While the parable of the wheat and tares focuses on present patience, the dragnet emphasizes the future judgment and final separation. Old Testament connections, particularly from Habakkuk and Ezekiel, show how God has consistently used "net" imagery to describe His sovereign judgment. Careful meditation on Scripture, especially Jesus's parables, reveals profound theological truths that casual reading might miss. Expanded Explanations The Kingdom Encompasses Both Salvation and Judgment The hosts identify a paradigm-shifting perspective in this parable: the kingdom of Heaven includes not just the blessing of the righteous but also the judgment of the wicked. Tony notes that Christians often think of God's kingdom only in terms of the elect enjoying fellowship with God, but this parable reveals that God's sovereignty and kingship extend to His judgment as well. The dragnet gathers everything in its path - both the "good" and "bad" fish - demonstrating that all people will be brought under Christ's authority for evaluation. This understanding challenges the common notion that hell is somehow outside God's domain. Rather, even the punishment of the wicked falls under God's sovereign reign. This more comprehensive view of God's kingdom reminds believers that God's authority is absolute and extends to every corner of creation and every spiritual reality. The Inescapable Net of God's Judgment Jesse highlights how the specific term "dragnet" (as translated in the LSB) carries significant theological weight. Unlike a typical fishing net cast from a single location, a dragnet was stretched between two boats and systematically pulled toward shore, catching everything in its path. This imagery powerfully communicates that no one will escape God's judgment - the net catches all kinds of fish indiscriminately. The hosts connect this to Old Testament passages, particularly in Habakkuk, where God's judgment is described as a net that captures entire nations. This emphasis on the comprehensive nature of judgment confronts our culture's belief that individuals might somehow avoid accountability before God. The parable teaches that all people will face judgment, with the difference being not whether they are caught in the net, but how they are categorized once caught. For believers, this underscores the necessity of being found "in Christ" when the sorting occurs. Memorable Quotes "Either way, you can't escape the net. This is profound because I think so much of our culture thinks they're gonna escape the net or the nets. They're gonna be able to get outside of the net." - Jesse Schwamb "Hell is the absence of, is the presence of God absent grace, right? Unmediated... It's God's unmediated, absolute entire wrath poured out on wicked sinners. That's what hell is." - Tony Arsenal "We gotta sit down at the table, take our time... Have the family style dinner passed around. Talk to everybody and set aside the time... We're taking our time to enjoy and to savor. And I think you and I are always trying to grow in that to some degree. But here again, we have just a lovely excuse to do a little savoring of the scripture." - Jesse Schwamb Resources Mentioned Matthew 13:47-50 - The Parable of the Dragnet Habakkuk 1:14-17 - Old Testament "net" imagery Ezekiel 32:1-3 - God's judgment as a net Deuteronomy 14 - Clean and unclean animals The Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) - Recommended Bible translation "The Will of the Many" by James Islington "The Strength of the Few" by James Islington Reformed Brotherhood Telegram Channel - t.me/ReformBrotherhood Full Transcript [Full transcript available on our website]

Where does your treasure live? If someone followed your calendar, your bank account, or your social feed—what would they say matters most to you? In Week 2 of our Generous Living series, Pastor Vicki takes us to Matthew 25 and the Parable of the Talents to ask a vital question: What are we doing with what God has entrusted to us? Watch the full worship service video below or listen to the sermon audio player to experience the full message. ⸻ What We Treasure, We Multiply Jesus often taught in parables, and the one in Matthew 25:14–30 is especially provocative: a master entrusts his wealth to three servants before leaving on a long journey. When he returns, he wants to know what they've done with it. Here's what we learned from Pastor Vicki's message: • Everything belongs to God. The gold, the servants, the very breath in our lungs—it all comes from the Master. Our culture loves the idea of being independent, self-made, or self-owned. But in God's kingdom, we're stewards, not owners. • God expects spiritual profit. This parable isn't just about money. It's about using your time, energy, gifts, and influence for God's purposes. Pastor Vicki challenged us: “We are created to multiply God's impact through what we've been given.” • Fear is not a faithful excuse. The third servant buried the money out of fear. He didn't lose it—but he also didn't use it. Fear of failure or scarcity can paralyze us spiritually. But the kingdom of God calls for bold, faithful living, even in risk. ⸻ Faithful Stewardship Starts with Surrender We can't multiply what we're still clinging to. The first step in living generously is surrendering ownership back to God. That means asking: “What have I been given, and how can I use it for God's glory?” Whether it's your finances, your free time, your talents, or your relationships—God's looking not for perfection, but participation. You don't have to do everything. Just something. Faithfully. If you're ready to take your next step, join a Group or explore ways to serve at New Hope this season. ⸻ Know Jesus. Grow Faith. Go Multiply. This parable echoes New Hope's mission: Know Jesus. Grow Faith. Go Multiply. We want to be a church that multiplies disciples by living generously and faithfully with everything God has placed in our hands.

1 Peter 3:8-12, Aaron Romaine
Paradise Baptist Church is one of Atlanta’s oldest historically Black churches – established in 1865, just after the Civil War. It grew out of a community Sunday School founded by then 12-year-old Dinah Watts Pace. Now, nearly two centuries later, the church is celebrating 160 years of faith, community, education, and economic development. Originally located in Atlanta’s Summerhill neighborhood and now in Grove Park, Paradise has remained a community cornerstone throughout its history. For a special audio documentary, “Closer Look” host Rose Scott and the team visited the church, which now sits at the intersection of Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway and Matilda Place in northwest Atlanta. Scott talks with church leaders about the church’s historical impact, its evolving role in the community, and how its legacy informs a forward-looking mission grounded in service, growth, and faith. Guests included: Dr. Charles A. Harper III, Paradise’s lead pastor Rev. S. Tarnace Watkins, Sr., executive pastor of Paradise Fred Stevens, consultant-in-residence with the Paradise Community Development Center, and Dr. Arletta Brinson, a lifelong member of the church, executive director of the Paradise Community Development Center, and co-chair of the church’s 160th anniversarySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I had an incredible conversation with Cynthia Moe-Lobeda about her book Building a Moral Economy (the first in a six-book series!). We dug into how most Christians experience a profound disconnect between their faith and their economic lives—knowing intellectually that our consumer choices connect us to exploitation and ecological destruction, but feeling powerless to change systems that seem inevitable. Cynthia shared her own journey from despair to action, grounded in a mystical encounter that helped her hold both grief and hope simultaneously. She laid out a compelling vision for what a moral economy actually looks like: ecological, equitable, and democratic—three criteria that radically challenge financialized capitalism. The heart of our conversation was her framework of "10 fingers on the hands of healing change"—specific forms of action like living lightly, moving money, changing rules, and building a bigger "we." What moved me most was her insistence that our current economy isn't inevitable; it was built by human decisions and can be rebuilt differently. She reminded us that we're not isolated moral agents but a "we"—the body of Christ with diverse gifts for different kinds of action. If you've ever felt torn between providing for your family and the knowledge that our prosperity is connected to the crucified people of our world, this conversation offers a path forward rooted in resurrection faith and practical action. Dr. Cynthia Moe-Lobeda is a Lutheran theologian, ethicist, and author who has dedicated her career to exploring the intersection of faith, economics, and justice. Her work focuses on building what she calls "economies for life"—economic systems that are ecological, equitable, and democratic. She is the author of Resisting Structural Evil and Building a Moral Economy. With decades of experience in ecumenical work and student ministry, Cynthia brings both academic rigor and pastoral wisdom to her writing, grounded in her conviction that the current economic system is not inevitable but can be transformed through collective action.

In a society where quick fixes and instant gratification dominate, are we settling for the same thing in our approach to sermons? In this episode, Pastor Mike Chaddick invites us to move beyond “fast food preaching” toward preparing and serving meals that are both desirable and deeply nourishing.Recorded live at the Expositors Collective training event in Pleasanton, CA (May 2024), Mike unpacks the inductive Bible study method through its three steps: observation, interpretation, and application. He shows how careful attention to language, grammar, genre, and historical setting equips preachers and Bible teachers to handle the text responsibly and preach with gospel-centred conviction.Listeners will also benefit from Mike's practical encouragement to use multiple translations, ask questions on behalf of their audience, and keep the good news of Jesus at the heart of every message. Whether you're preparing your first Bible study or refining your preaching after decades of experience, this session offers a simple yet profound roadmap for teaching God's Word faithfully.About Mike ChaddickPastor Mike Chaddick is the senior pastor of Image Church in San Juan Capistrano, CA, and a regular contributor to the live radio show Pastors Perspective on KWAVE 107.9FM.
