Series: The Family You're a Part Of - Episode 8
What the family of God does about speech, anger, and work. It's something to do with good stewardship of words, and generosity of soul.

Series: The Family You're a Part Of - Episode 7
Do you want to grow up, or not? Apostle Paul gives us some bizarre baby "cartoons." Also we get a new outfit.

Ephesians 4:1-13 Series: The Family You're a Part Of What makes a good quality life? Humility, gentleness, patience, love, and peace. "If we move to the next section of this book and obey all the rules to the letter and ignore this part--where we allow our spirits to be formed in humility, gentleness, patience, love, and peace, we will not exhibit Jesus' life, and we will not be living a life worthy of the calling we have received.

What if the reconciliation between people through Jesus Christ is a greater miracle and mystery than the reconciliation between people and God through Jesus Christ?
[Apparently we are not yet out of the woods regarding our latest spate of technology issues. Thank you for your ongoing patience.]

This was the Sunday when everyone was either on vacation or was sick--or both. Rev Barb was already scheduled to preach, but we canceled the in-person service and she presented this from home. Thanks, Rev Barb!

The month of September was a bit, shall we say, "upheaved" at Central Baptist Church. Between vacations and covid, a service got canceled, not all of our usual technology experts were on hand, and...this particular recording was recorded via Voice Memo app from the Facebook livestream. Thank you, listener, for resuming your patience with us and participating in the worship of a small but very grateful and faith-filled church.

Ephesians 1:15-23
"Here we are, Jesus--signed, sealed, delivered..." How the Holy Spirit is essential to, well, pretty much everything.
Apologies to Stevie Wonder, and everyone who hears a snippet of Pastor Jenn trying to sing (with a cold) in this recording...

Ephesians 1:1-14
"Remember the family you're a part of" can sound like a threat. "Don't make us look bad" or something like that. But what if there were a family where you were wanted from start to finish, and you were chosen and empowered to exhibit the altogether wonderful family resemblance and weren't on our own to do it?

Series: Any Questions? (Episode 6)
28 August 2022
Acts 17:16-34
Is the Bible enough? Why should we bring in references to other resources when we have a book that came from God? Or should we? Pastor Jenn talks about playing Hide and Seek with Jesus and shows us the Apostle Paul doing just that.

Genesis 3:14-16; Joel 2:25-32
Is God a misogynist? Well really? What is God like? What did God intend for humans? And what kind of punishment are we even talking about?
