In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie continue through their Strange Scriptures series and talk through an odd verse in 1 Corinthians 15 that has become the foundation for some problematic doctrines.

One of David's men tries to stop the Ark of the Covenant from falling off a cart and God strikes him dead for it...seems harsh, right?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie continue through their Strange Scriptures series and talk through an account in 1 Chronicles and 2 Samuel about a man named Uzzah who is struck dead for trying to prevent the Ark of the Covenant from falling off the cart pulled by oxen.

There was a fight over the location of Moses' body...but why?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie continue through their Strange Scriptures series and talk through an odd passage in the small book of Jude. Satan and the archangel Michael argue over the corpse of Moses, but there isn't much context around the significance of this or why it's included in Scripture. We look at some outside sources as well as some reasons as to why Satan may want the body of Moses and look at applications for Christians today around this passage!

Don't boil a goat in its mother's milk...why is this even in the Bible?! Is there any application for us today?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie continue through their Strange Scriptures series and talk through a few different passages in the Law that forbid the Israelites to boil a goat in the milk of its mother. We look through a few different principles and beliefs as to why this command was included three separate times in Scripture, narrowing down on one leading belief that is affirmed by the surrounding context of the passage. We then expound upon how the heart behind this command is still applicable for Christians today!

Proverbs tells us not to answer a fool according to his folly, yet the next sentence tells us we SHOULD answer a fool according to his folly...so which is it?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie continue through their Strange Scriptures series and talk through Proverbs 26:4-5 and wrestle with what seems like a contradiction of commands. We dig through what makes a proverb a proverb and other examples of this kind of writing style in Scripture to bring clarity as to what the actual meaning of this verse is!

Why would Jesus curse a fig tree that is out of season? Why lash out over something like this?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie continue through their Strange Scriptures series and talk through Matthew 21 and the cursing of the fig tree. We dive into the context of Passover around this passage and what Jesus' greater point was in why He cursed a fig tree that had leaves, but no fruit to bear. Our hope is that as you listen, you'd be able to apply some of the principles that Jesus was in your own life and reflect on whether or not you are bearing fruit!
