The Axiom Church Podcast

Micah and Gavin have a conversation with special guests Lance Linderman (Coffeeshop owner) and Frank Foley (Chef) about Sunday's passage Matthew 5:13-16. 

 Erik Lundin speaks on Matthew 5:13-16

In dialogue one seeks understanding of the other person. Our first DIALOGUES event created space to discuss the enneagram with author and speaker Chuck DeGroat.

Gavin and Micah debrief on Sunday's kickoff to the Jesus 2020 series and the reality of "kingdoms". 

Jesus announced that the Kingdom of God had come and that it was open to everyone who wished to dwell in that Kingdom. What did He mean? What is this Kingdom? He explains it in a series of short descriptions of “realities” (Beatitudes) for those who are dwellers. This was incredibly good news for people of Jesus day because they had been marginalized and excluded from the kingdom (on earth) for so long they no longer thought they were Kingdom-worthy. Jesus declared that they were the perfect people to consider moving into the Kingdom of God. In fact the only people who really do dwell in His Kingdom are those who possess the perceived “downside” of the Beatitudes.

Jesus is inviting us to fill the jar to the brim and trust him to turn it into wine. We enter this year with a clear call to be a visible church and to love our city, Peoria. Pastor Gavin shares the story of this journey. 

What is the purpose and goal of "dialogues" and how can we have healthy dialogue with each other from different points of view? Micah and Gavin are joined by friend, retired therapist, and Axiom community member Jason Gillespie.

The church is always in Advent as we are always awaiting the return of Jesus, "our blessed hope" as Paul describes in Titus. This affects how we live, here and now. Ross Bentley gives us incite on this passage.

Luke's story of Christ's arrival comes with tension's of fear and faith, each resulting in songs of praise.

Prepare the way, Jesus is coming.
