SEEK Christian Podcast

Seek to define family

How do you define "family"?  Is it by blood?  By years of friendship?  By sharing similar experiences?  How does Jesus define family?  Listen to his words from Mark 3:31-35. 

Seek the gifts of the Spirit

What, me, witness?  What, you want me to testify?  Yes, we do....and so does Jesus!  But because this can seem like a big job, Jesus also gives us some help...the Holy Spirit.  Listen and find out how that works!
Gospel reading:  John 15:26-27

Seek to be one

How's your math?  In the night before Jesus is arrested and brought to trial, he prays that his disciples would all be one.  In our fractured world, what does it mean to be one, to be united in Christ?
Gospel reading:  John 17:11

Seek the Shepherd

This Sunday, we remember and celebrate that Jesus is the good shepherd, willing to lay down his life for us. Today we hear the famous words of the 23rd Psalm, words that many find meaingful. 
Reading:  Psalm 23 

Seek the Unexpected

The surprise of Easter is that Jesus is alive, resurrected from the dead!  Jesus' best friends are amazed--and yet, have some questions and wonderings about this.  How about you?  What do you wonder about?  Jesus doesn't scold the disciples for their questions, but patiently invites them to watch and see. 
Gospel reading: Luke 24:36b-48

Seek the one who rolls away the stone

The women approach Jesus' grave, wondering who will roll away the grave stone for them, as they have brought spices to anoint his body.  To their amazement the stone is rolled away...and they learn even more amazing news.  Jesus is risen from the dead!  But what will they do with this amazing news?   Maybe what we least expect. 
Gospel reading:  Mark 16:1-8

Seek the cross

On Good Friday, we hear the story of Jesus in his last hours.  The full reading of this account in the gospel of John can be found in chapters 18:1-19:42. 

Seek to love

What does it mean to love one another?  How do we begin to show love?  Jesus gives us some clues as on this night, before he is arrested with the help of a disciple Judas, he washes the feet of his friends, his disciples. 
Gospel reading:  John 13:12-34

Seek the one on a donkey

Why does Jesus choose to ride a donkey?  A horse would certainly be more majestic; a camel would imply being part of wealthy caravan; even an ibex has a hint of the exotic.  But a stubborn, independent, homely creature?  What does Jesus choice say about him and about us?
  Mark 11:1-10

Seek to love, fear, and trust in God

What does it mean to live together in community?  How do we keep families functional?  Workplaces healthy?  The 3rd of God's covenant promises to us is found in our Old Testament reading, as we hear God's 10 commandments.  Exodus 20:1-17
