Prince of Peace Podcast

Home and Away

Chad Brekke - There is an old saying, “seeing is believing” but Paul seems to be describing the opposite, “believing is seeing!” We walk by faith and not by sight is the way he puts it. Well, this great passage has a lot of good stuff to unpack, so let’s get after it!

Original Blessing

Natalia Terfa - So many of us have heard the story of the garden and Adam and Eve and the serpent and all the fallout that follows, but what do we really know about it? How do we keep believing the lie? And is our original state blessing, or sin?

Set an Example

Katie Rykal - As we gather to celebrate our graduating High School Seniors, we hear their words, their stories and bless them as they step out on their own. Whether they are heading to colleg e, tech school, directly into the workforce, or taking some time to figure things out, we will send them out with the reminder that we, as a Church, will always be there for them. Seniors, let your lights shine so others may see your good works and glorify your heavenly Father.

Natalia Terfa - What does it really mean that we are called children of God? Why does it matter? Does it really change anything?

Tongues of Fire

Chad Brekke - I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy…Everybody gets to speak up for God; because the community of faith in Christ is the place where the power to speak belongs, not just to a few, but to all.

Who in The World?

Natalia Terfa - We have a kind of poetic word salad from John’s Gospel in front of us today, where Jesus prays for people in the world when he is no longer in the world. But is “in the world” physical, or metaphorical, or both? How do we understand what it means to be “in” and “of” the world? Is it good or bad? Or Both?

Our Best Stuff

Chad Brekke - The church today exists in a culture defined by opposition and division. As we look at a fascinating encounter between Peter and folks he considered to be outsiders if not enemies, we may see a way forward for the church in our time.

Here is Water!

Natalia Terfa - In one of my favorite stories in Acts, Phillip is changed by an encounter with a eunuch from Ethiopia. What starts with a question ends in a baptism on the side of the road. Scandalous!! Or is it?

Losing Your Life

Chad Brekke - A couple of months ago, we heard Jesus say in Mark’s gospel that "whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and the gospel will save it.”  What might these things look like in the real world? When Peter is dragged in front of the powers that be after the resurrection in today's reading, we get our answer. This is what a saved life looks like.

Practicing Resurrection

Natalia Terfa The fear and astonishment of the disciples is made so clear in today’s Gospel. They haven’t come very far, have they? Notice how Jesus doesn’t talk at them or around them. He shows them his body. His hands and feet. To show that yes - that happened - and yet here he is.
Scripture: Luke 24:36b-48
