Many thanks to the golliards choir from mvnu this past sunday!  elizabeth barrett has done an amazing job in directing and leading this group.  in the middle of their worship service, a couple of the singers spoke from the book of ruth.  they were preparing us for the song that followed called "entreat me not to leave you".  in this weeks podcast, pastor nathan and pastor jade discussed a few key concepts from ruth that might apply to our daily lives.

pictures speak a thousand words.

as we entered the church on sunday, everyone was given a cup.  over the course of the sermon, we came to learn that the cup represented our lives.  everything that's right and wrong, good and bad, smooth and rough...it's all in our cup.  aren't we thankful that our cup is poured into christ's cup?  how does that all work?  Let's find out on this episode of table talk.

Can you believe it!?!  This marks the fiftieth episode of the table talk podcast.  quite an achievement...is achievement the right word?

As jesus entered the city, he looked like a king.  everyone yelled "hosanna" which is an old word meaning "save us".  do you greet jesus with those words?  save me!  from what?

sunday's sermon was a heavy one.  let's unpack it together on this episode of table talk.

Happy Wednesday everybody!! Did you know that ketchup was sold as medicine in the 1830s? Will these random facts become a blog tradition? Who knows!

Prepositions and conjunctions are generally throw away words in today’s English. However, this causes us to miss out on really important meanings and applications when we read our Bibles. The keyword from this week was “with”. If discipleship could only be defined by two words, it would be “with Jesus”. Jesus appointed the 12 so that they could be with him, so that they could be sent, and that they may cast out demons. Whoa. Let’s talk about that, but even more, let’s be challenged by it and become better disciples and disciplers.
