Between Sundays Four Corners Community Church Weekly Podcast

Dave, Brian, and Michael make some space for Brian to share some reflections about his recent sabbatical. Specifically, they address the purposes of the Church, how to choose (or leave) a local church, and what place Sunday gatherings should play in a faith family's formation.

Dave, Janet, and Michael discuss the parallels between modern Christians, Jephthah, and Samson, and about how the end of Judges points to the coming of (and need for) Jesus. Specifically, they address how we often forget who God is and try to earn his favor (like Jephthah), and that our extreme self-absorption leads to a lack of self-control that takes us outside of God's will (like Samson).

Dave, Janet, and Michael discuss definitions of faithfulness and how success leads to forgetting God. Specifically, they address how Gideon and Abimilech show how Israel's true enemy is the brokenness of their hearts, as opposed to their outside oppressors.

Dave, Janet, and Michael discuss personal connections they've made with the characters and stories so far in the Judges message series. Specifically, they address building rhythms of remembrance, valuing the humanity of Jesus, and relating to the brokenness of the Judges.

Dave, Janet, and Michael discuss the current Judges message series. Specifically, they address the patterns of sin and repentance in Israel, the faithfulness of God throughout history, and how to make sense of seemingly competing realities of a loving and angry God.
