Your New Normal
Length: 4 Minutes
We live in a world full of “you touch the stove, you burn your hand,” “you fall down, you skin your knee,” “everybody has problems,” “nobody knows everything,” “nobody’s perfect,” “everybody dies.” These things are held as more than just normal in this world. These things are held as common sense. But if these things are also normal to the church, then in this life, what’s the point of being a new creation? Are we just a version of the world with better morals?

Father, Son, Spirit (Basic Training)
Length: 15 Minutes
If you’ve been a Christian for a number of years, I’m sure you’ve noticed that there’s a lot of “mystery” and ambiguity when people explain the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Certain questions can be answered, but when you probe a little too much, many will just chalk it up to, “That’s the mystery of God and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.”

Would They Be Raised Sick? – Q&A #2 (Resurrection Handbook – Part 23)
Length: 7 Minutes
Before we answer some more questions about resurrection, it’s important for us to know that, while there’s nothing wrong with having our questions answered on how it looks when resurrection is manifested, it’s not a preoccupation with manifesting these things that actually produces it. It’s a preoccupation with what Jesus provided at the cross that does the trick.

What About Funerals? (Resurrection Handbook – Part 21)
Length: 15 Minutes
If Jesus is the resurrection (as we have established in this handbook), then what are we to think about funerals? Should we attend funerals? Should we support the idea? Well, it’s not what you believe about funerals. It’s what you believe about death. If it’s permanent, then a memorial service makes sense.

Did I Not Say To You? (Resurrection Handbook – Part 20)

The Purpose Of Prayer (Resurrection Handbook – Part 18)
Length: 8 Minutes
It’s funny, we will pray for the sick sometimes, as believers, but the second someone dies we usually throw up our hands and think, “Well, we tried.” But there’s no difference between raising the dead and healing the sick. One is not harder than the other. They’re both things Jesus provided for, both situations that need life, and both things that we can pray for just the same.

Be Still, Just Know (Resurrection Handbook – Part 17)
Length: 7 Minutes
We need to normalize things like resurrection in our minds. That’s what the Bible would call “the renewal of your mind.” And as simple as that is, that’s how people get raised.
