OriginGalatians, Chapter 6, Nothing But the CrossJoin us at the Table of Origin where this season we are discussing chapter 6 of Galatians, Nothing But the Cross. We will talk about what the cross means for us and how Paul is calling us to live life by the cross. What does that look like? 2024-10-0155 minOriginGalatians 5, No Other WayPaul is on fire with legitimate, righteous, holy indignation through much of the book of Galatians. He does not mince words. He is direct. He repeats himself. His language and cultural references are rather . . . . spicy! Join us at the table of Origin to discuss Chapter 5 of Galatians, No Other Way. 2024-09-2347 minOriginGalatians 4, No Longer SlavesToday we are in Chapter 4 of Galatians and our focus is, No Longer Slaves. God's plan for us has always been Sons & Daughters, Created in His Image with Purpose. The Plan was interrupted by sin and everything went awry. But Jesus Came and now we have a choice. We no longer have to live enslaved to this world's systems or to the law or to idols. We can live free as we choose not to love the world. We can live free as we recognize what might be at work from within to enslave us, whether it be pride, fear...2024-09-1649 minOriginGalatians, Week 3, No Turning BackIn chapter 3 of Galatians, Paul continues his defense of living by faith as opposed to living by the law. God initiates and provides The Way to salvation. Why do we so readily go back to trying to earn it by keeping the law. Paul quotes the Old Testament saying that "Abraham believed God and God counted him as righteous because of his faith." The law was given for a purpose between the promise and the fulfillment of that promise, but now that the promise has been fulfilled there is a "new and better way," and we are not turning back...2024-09-0245 minOriginGalatians, Week 2, Not My LifeWe are in Week 2 of our study of Galatians, coving studying Chapter 2 with the thought that our life is not our own. God is Sovereign, Supreme Ruler over everything, yet He gives us free will. When we make Him Lord of our lives, our life belongs to Him. It is Not My Life. But do we choose to live it for ourselves or do we choose to live it for Him. The more fulfilling life is to live it as God created us to, not with ourselves at the center, but with Him at the center. 2024-08-2652 minOriginGalatians, Chapter 1, No Other GospelWe are diving into the book of Galatians with the idea that we have been Rescued and there is No Going Back. In the first chapter we are focusing on the fact that the Gospel is GOOD NEWS! There is No Other Gospel, no other good news that is entirely true and trustworthy. No Other Gospel that carries the news of a Rescuing Savior, a Righteous Ruler, a Grace-filled Father and a Faithful Friend. The Gospel reveals Jesus and Rescues us from our own destructive ways. No Other Gospel has the power to save, to heal, to transform and to ma...2024-08-1952 minOriginDisarming Deception, pt 2: True for You, But Not for MeJoin us at the table of Origin as we compare Relative Trust to Absolute Truth. Truth should be rock solid. Dependable. The same in every culture, for every generation, for all time. Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee and let's have a talk! 2024-03-1149 minOriginDisarming Deception, pt 2, I Have Enough, I'm GoodOften the server will say, "Would you like some more tea?" Especially if you live in Texas! A common answer might be, "I Have Enough, I'm Good!" If this is our answer as a follower of God, "I Have Enough, I'm Good," that is a deception. Join us at the table of Origin as we disarm this deception with the Truth of God's Word. 2024-02-2739 minOriginDisarming Deception, pt 2, Not My JobSometimes it seems like we live in a "Just enough to get by" world. Someone asks us to do something or we see something that needs to be done and for various reasons, we are tempted to say, "That's Not My Job!" But the Bible assures us that we are our brother's keeper and Jesus told the disciples they should go the second mile. Join us at the table of Origin as we discuss, "Not My Job." 2024-02-2750 minOriginDisarming Deception, pt 2, It Happened, It Must Be God's WillHave you ever heard someone say, "Well it wouldn't have happened unless it was God's Will!"? Not true. Not everything that happens is God's Will. Join us at the Table of Origin as we discuss this very subtle lie. 2024-02-2756 minOriginDisarming Deception, Pt 2 Love is a Rose GardenGather around the table of Origin and help us unpack the fact that love is not just the fun, the feel-good, the happy, the on-top-of-the-world. It might be a rose garden but that garden has thorns. What does the Bible have to say about the grit of love? What is the truth about love? 2024-01-2348 minOriginDisarming Deception, pt 2, The American DreamJoin us as we disarm deceptions with the truth of God's Word. Today we talk about The American Dream and how we have developed many deceptive thoughts around what was possibly initially a God-given dream. We might need a course correction! The table of Origin is for you. Pull up a chair and join our conversation. 2024-01-1144 minOriginDisarming Deception, Born This WayWhat name tags or patterns of identity have you adopted that are not yours to own? What is the danger of saying, "I was born this way?" Join us at the table as we discuss the identity that we have in Christ as believers. Hear how God has an original plan for our identity. We get to choose if we walk in it. Life fulfillment doesn't come from self-seeking pleasure, but from removing the focus from self to others and ultimately, to Jesus. 2023-07-3153 minOriginDisarming Deception: Life Begins at BirthWhen does life begin? This is pervading question in our culture today. Science is trying to pinpoint the exact moment in a baby's life that we can actually say this is a viable life. Politicians argue about it. People protest over it. Join us at the table of Origin as we discuss the various lanes of thought and examine God's creative plan surrounding LIFE. 2023-07-3039 minOriginDisarming Deception, If It's Hard, It's Not GodHow many times have you wondered if you are "in God's will?" Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "Wow, I must have missed God," just because a situation is difficult? Not always so according to the Word. Join us for this conversation today around the table of Origin, "It it's Hard, It's not God!" 2023-07-0350 minOriginDisarming Deception, Many Ways to GodJoin the Table of Origin to discuss the deception, Many Ways to God. We are boldly stating that Jesus is the Only Way. We are all susceptible to deception. Find out how to guard against it as we discuss strategies for disarming deception. 2023-06-2752 minOriginDisarming Deception: I Prayed the Prayer, Pt 1We are disarming the deception that salvation is just praying a prayer. We minimize a vibrant and growing relationship with Jesus by reducing it to just saying "right" words. Join us at the Origin table as we talk about what salvation is, what it isn't and how to keep it fresh and growing. 2023-06-0550 minOriginI Prayed the Prayer, pt 2How can "I Prayed the Prayer" be a deception? What if God doesn't answer the way we expect, in the time-frame we expect? Can we get off track? Do we get disillusioned? It is so important to have some foundation stones of prayer in place. This conversation around the table of Origin will help us disarm this possible deception with the Truth of God's Word. 2023-05-3143 minOriginThe New Heavens and New EarthJoin us as we close our our podcast season on The End: A Revelation Study. Today, at the table of Origin we will discuss the closing chapters of Revelation as God is making all things new. We will once again visit the options that God has given for us to choose. Try to imagine what a world without evil will be like. A place of perpetual life and peace. We have this hope in Christ Jesus. 2023-02-1343 minOriginThe Millennial Reign & The Final Defeat of SatanJoin us at the table of Origin where we discuss the Second Coming of Christ, the Millennial Reign and the Final Defeat of Satan. Hear the contrast between 7 years of tribulation and 1000 years of blessings. A true reset to the Garden of Eden. Righteous rule with no Tempter roaming the earth. Satan is bound forever and finally will never have the freedom to work his evil on earth again. 2023-01-3142 minOriginThe Second Coming of Jesus & The Battle of Armageddon2023-01-2441 minOriginFalse Prophets & True WitnessesJoin us for part 2 of THE END, a study of the Revelation. Today we will contrast False Prophets & True Witnesses, seeing the different motivations, characteristics and activities of both. We will see how satan likes to counterfeit the works of God. In and of himself, he is not able to create what God has created. He is not able to do the powerful works that Jesus does. He spends his energy trying. His goal is to destroy. Christ's goal is to rescue. False prophets testify of anything but Christ. The True Witness points right to Jesus. 2023-01-1850 minOriginReward or Wrath: Two JudgmentsContinuing the contrasts laid before us in the book of Revelation, join ReGina Johnston, Jina McAfee and Kyli Rose as they meet around the table of Origin. In this episode we discuss the two judgements unpacked in the book of Revelation. Some may have never realized, there are two, one for believers and one for unbelievers. One day you can hear the Lord say, "Well done!" Join us and find out how. We are looking forward to seeing you around the table of Origin. 2023-01-1044 minOriginSealed or MarkedThis is part 2 of Episode 3, The End. We are unpacking the book of Revelation. We are given two choices, life or death. Which one will you choice. Today we will talk about being Sealed by the Holy Spirit or Marked by the Beast. We will contrast the difference and illuminate the choice. We are so thankful God gives us the dignity of choice, but He wants us to choose Him. 2023-01-0449 minOriginRapture or TribulationJoin us as we discuss Rapture or Tribulation. We define, compare and contrast the two, and once again, we emphasize the fact that we have a choice. The time to make that choice is NOW. 2022-08-2945 minOriginThe True and Counterfeit TrinityThere’s truth and there’s counterfeit to just about everything—God’s kingdom versus Satan’s deceit. Satan really is just a copycat. He’s not original. He comes along and tries to mimic what God does and lead us off track. Our job is to distinguish between the two. I believe many of us worry that we will be deceived even as God’s elect or we won’t know the truth. This is what the Scriptures do say: “For false christs and false prophets will arise [God wants us to know that] and will provide great signs and wonders...2022-08-2246 minOriginChrist Charges the ChurchToday is all about Christ’s instructions to his church. His instructions to us. We are not just studying history tonight; we are part of history in the making. Let’s set the scene, Revelation chapter 2 and 3, contains seven letters directly from Christ himself written to seven churches that actually existed around 95AD in Asia Minor which now the country of Turkey. These scriptures were written to real people who lived a long time ago, but they are relevant, timeless, and applicable to us today, every single one which is why we are going to cover al...2022-08-1547 minOriginThe Revelation of JesusThe most important truth about the book of Revelation is this, It belongs to Jesus Christ in the sense that He is the one doing the revealing and He is the person revealed. There is a lot to see in the book of Revelation and it matters. There are symbols, dates, the things that we don’t fully understand that scholars have studied for years- it matter, otherwise it wouldn’t be in recorded for us, but let’s not miss the forest for the trees. We’re on a divine hunt for Jesus.*If we walk away from...2022-08-0142 minOriginGround ZeroWe have begun a study of Revelation, and we’re excited about it. Today, we are in Episode 2, talking about the topic of Ground Zero. When we look at Ground Zero defined, we think of it as the very beginning of something or square one, maybe the center where a bomb or an explosion takes place. Today, we are looking at the city of Jerusalem and even more precisely the Temple Mount as a Ground Zero of sorts. It is where the followers of Jehovah God gathered. Their place of sacrifice and worship. We’re going to look at that pl...2022-07-1844 minOriginThe Time is Now!We are jumping into some heavy-duty subject matter. We are podcasting a study called The End. That sounds ominous. Today, we are diving in and asking ourselves this question: What time is it? The Bible is relevant for today. We can lay the Biblical timeline over the world's timeline and see clues regarding the future. We believe it is time. Time for what? Decisions! How will we live? What is important? What is lasting? What really matters? Oscar Wilde says, "I never put off until tomorrow what I can possibly do today." Our questions is, "How long do we really have...2022-07-1146 min
