    Church Street Podcast EP 049 - The Bread Of Life

    In this session, Pastor Zach Stiefel and Dr. Keva Green walk through Gospel of John 6:35–40, unpacking Jesus’ declaration as the “Bread of Life.” They explore what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness, the promise that those who come to Christ will never be cast out, and the assurance of eternal life for those who believe. They also introduce and discuss the SOAP method as a practical tool for daily Scripture study: S – Scripture: Write out the passage you’re reading. O – Observation: Note what stands out—key themes, repeated words, context, or questions. A – Application: Reflect on how the passage applies personally to your life. P – Prayer: Respond to God in prayer based on what you’ve read. Together, they model how John 6:35–40 can be studied using SOAP, encouraging believers to develop a consistent, thoughtful approach to engaging with Scripture on a daily basis.

    Church Street Podcast EP 041 - Bullpen 15

    Where Every Voice Gets a Turn at the Mic At First Grapevine, we believe in lifting up every voice. That’s why we created The Bullpen—a space where emerging and diverse voices bring fresh perspectives and deep spiritual insights to the conversation. In this episode, Pastor Zach Stiefel and Dr. Keva Green reflect on the just concluded sermon series (Jonah – A Faithful Servant) and the upcoming sermon series (Knee High Theology – Lessons we learned from the kid’s table. During the Jonah sermon series we read the entire book of Jonah in worship. We want to be a Bible reading church. We want to read the Bible together.  Was Jonah faithful to his calling from God? Are we faithful to our calling from God? At First Grapevine, we want to be known as a Bible-reading church—a community grounded in Scripture and growing together in faith. We’re so glad you’re here. Let’s keep growing together—in truth, grace, and community.
