We'll give an overview of the last 11 chapters which end with God's decision to divide the one human race into nations with distinct languages, cultures and traditions. At this point, the Creator seems to take a break from direct involvement with humans, except for one man, Abraham. He's the beginning of God's plan to save humans from themselves and to give them a new heart. Abraham's seed will bring God's solution to the division of Heaven and Earth and restore the world back to it's original purpose as God's Home.

“The world turns and the world changes,
 But one thing does not change.
 In all of my years, one thing does not change,
 However you disguise it, this thing does not change:
 The perpetual struggle of Good and Evil.”  (taken from "The Rock")

Cain, the firstborn human, is also the first to hate, to lie, to use brotherly "love" for deception, and the first to murder. He is also the first example of religious persecution. He killed his brother because of the open way he worshipped the Creator God. Soon, Cain's descendants fill the earth with violence and ambition for conquest and human greatness. In the Bible, he becomes the head of an unbroken line of humans at war with God. They are referred to as "the children of the devil". 

In their sights are those who are loyal and loving toward the Creator God.  Join us for this episode of Thread where we investigate the origins of evil on the planet and the roots of the spiritual war that began in the murder of Cain and continues until the return of Christ to defeat this army and its capital city, Babylon.

This question connects to another, larger one:  "Does God intend our life to be primarily conceived of as a "spiritual" life with its true allegiance to an unseen part of us, our souls, with the goal of going to an otherworldly place called, Heaven? Or does he intend our life to be primarily a physical life, firmly connected to Earth and all of its inhabitants? 

Is the ultimate destination of our lives as believers clouds and skies, or a recreated, and very physical earth?  All these questions start with day 6 of the Creation Overture. Join us for this fascinating study.

The BibleIf you struggled to integrate the Bible and the current state of science, I believe this episode could really help you. As people of faith, we do not have to check our brains at the door. God gave us the ability to reason and to look into the nature of things and to experiment and to evolve mentally. What we need is not another level of denial about  proven scientific facts, but a deeper understanding of both science and the Bible and we'll see that they can both be friends. All truth is God's truth and science can only study what truly is as long as it stays out of politics and religion or anti-religion which is more the case today.

In this episode, we work to understand the overall purpose of the Bible and of the Genesis narrative in particular.  Once we know what we are and aren't looking at, we can focus and see the amazing message God has sent to us through the creation narrative of Genesis 1-3, the foundation for the drama that continues throughout the Bible, to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus to the Book of Revelation. Join us for episode 2, Science Vs. the Bible.

Welcome to Thread, Season 4! We're back with more verse-by-verse Bible study so you can build spiritual muscle through God's word.  For this season, we're choosing to go carefully  through Ge. 1-12 because it's the place to begin if you want to understand the message of the whole Bible properly. 

Western Civilization, with its emphasis on the worth of each individual and the equality of all persons, is birthed with one verse in chapter one of Genesis, "So God created man in his image. In the image of God created he him, male and female created he them."

Genesis has teaching about ecology, the dominion of mankind upon the earth, the spiritual war in the heavenlies, and the forsaken tree of life, the scene of the original rebellion that spoiled the creation and set in motion God's plan to reclaim the world He had created.

I've spent the last 2 years studying Ge 1-12. It's been an amazing journey! I feel like I'm just now understanding the core story of the Bible after 35 years studying it and I can't wait to share it with you.

Join our list by clicking here and you'll be the first to receive notice of each new episode of Thread, Season Four as it is released each Tuesday.

In the past 30 episodes we have walked with the Apostle Paul, a ministry pioneer in evangelism, pastoral care, apologetics, church planting, leadership development and discipleship. He has shared his heart, so transparently, about his experience in living a life of ministry. He has established his theology, life vision, and has shared with us some of the principles that have helped him to succeed in planting churches across the ancient world in a time of persecution and great testing.

It may be at work, in church, in your circle of friends or even in your home or extended family circle. In these moments you'll need to take charge of the stage and tell your story so you can control the message. Without it, those who misunderstand you will tell the story and get your actions and motivations wrong causing you to lose your precious interpersonal connection, bond, influence and the reputation you've taken pains to build over a lifetime.

If we can let go of needing the perks and approval of this passing world we can live life more effectively. A better world is coming as the Kingdom of God is revealed, but until then we need to prepare ourselves mentally and emotionally to deal with the realities we will increasingly face in the days to come.

Every champion knows the necessity of this during times when "pushing through the pain" is the only way to overcome challenges. The problem comes when we try to live at that state always. We trade sleep for work, exercise for work, and socializing for more work. Our lives need a healthy rhythm especially when much os our lives' energies are directed into caring for the needs of others. If caregivers and ministers burn out everyone suffers. Listen to the wisdom of Jesus as he teaches his disciples about the value of people and about the Father's active care for all of us. God will provide all that you and your sheep need to be fed and healthy. We don't need to take all of this on ourselves. In the end it is God's work. Listen to this thread to hear more.Play Episode

He preached, healed the sick and cast out the demons. He faced all contrary people and reasoned with them in open debate. Then in the second year he turned to the disciples and said to them, "Now, you do it." I'm sure they were shocked and afraid at the prospect of attempting such a thing, but Jesus gave them his healing power and told them what sermon to preach and sent them to do it--and the results multiplied. Now they could be in six villages each day instead of one. Their impact was so great that even King Herod heard about them.

We all encounter setbacks and times when everything seems to be working against us. These events are the defining moments in our lives. Some people allow themselves to habitually slip into powerlessness and self-pity, questioning God and blaming others for their problems. They choose to see personal challenges as tragedies and cry out, "Why me!?" In these same circumstances, however, champions arise, controlling their emotions and choosing to think and speak thoughts of faith and trust in God.
