NLCC After Sunday North Langley Community Church

In light of recent attacks between Israel and Hamas Cory and Matthew explore how the word Israel is used in the Bible.  They chat about how Jesus recapitulates the story of Israel, and they chat about the words Kingdom, Vine, and Temple to explore who Israel is today.  Also in this episode - Cory accuses Matthew of grumpiness, we drop the "h" from "huge" like Mr. Trump does, and the 1993 film "The Sandlot" makes a very short appearance."

In this episode, we dive into the Biblical idea of the Divine Council.  We chat about God's heavenly staff team, angels, demons, Mexico's Day of the Dead, and Cory critiques Matthew's deep dislike of Halloween.

In this episode Cory and Matthew discuss the new series on spiritual warfare and the victory of Jesus over the darkness. They also chat about a snakes head getting chopped off, what they did over the summer, the new music Cory is writing and recording, reading Flannery O'Connor, and they argue about how to pronounce the last name "Southam".

A Discussion on Ephesians 5

In this episode we dive into questions like: Are women excluded from eldership in 1 Timothy 3? How do ancient household codes and the status of women affect how we read Ephesians 5?  How does marriage reveal the relationship between Jesus & the church?  Also--we chat about Cory’s recent trip to Michigan, an update on Sparky the cat, and our common love for McDonald’s cheeseburgers.

A discussion on 1 Timothy 2:11-15

In this episode, we dive into questions like: Isn’t Paul talking about positive authority in this passage? When Paul appeals to creation isn’t that a big deal? Who is to blame for the Fall?  Also- we chat about Phil Collins, Sufjan Stevens, Cory needing the love and affirmation of his dogs, and Matthew’s kids getting a kittten!

In this episode, we discuss 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 and dive into questions like: what is Paul referring to when he talks about the law? What about the history of the church? Doesn’t prophecy require evaluation from others precisely because it is not authoritative teaching? What counsel do you have for people who are faced with changing deeply held beliefs? Also- we chat about Martin Luther, John Calvin, and St. Augustine’s misogyny, Syrian swimmers in Berlin, and the latest season of the Crown!
