Burden and Blessing Podcast

Christian Parenting - (Part 1) The Foundation

In this mini series on Christian parenting we will dig into God's Word for direction on Christian parenting. This episode will present an overview of the series which will include discussions on Christian Instruction, Discipline, the Relation between the Husband and the Wife, and teaching your children responsibility. We will also highlight some of the problems we face in our culture because of incorrect views of family and children and see that children are not ours, but the LORD's, who loves them more than we do! We are simply stewards of these children, who are gifts from God to be nurtured and raised for His glory.  

6. Deuteronomy Summary Verse

Deuteronomy is a review of God's work in the lives of the Children of Israel and was preparing them for the dangers that would be in front of them as they entered the promised land. Our verse is Deuteronomy 6:5: "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength” (NKJV). Moses directs the people to the importance of following the LORD, and to trust in the promise of the coming Savior, who would be like Moses, but greater than Moses. Don't forget what the LORD has done and has promised to do for you!

5. Numbers Summary Verse

The book of Numbers records the account of the Children of Israel and the 40 years they spent in the wilderness. Our summary verse is Numbers 23:19: “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” (NKJV). This book reminds us of the faithfulness of God as He provided for, led and protected His people during all these years even though they were not faithful. 

Debate Series: Church Shopping

Join pastors Nathanael Mayhew, Neal Radichel and Mark Tiefel as they dialogue on church shopping, which takes them into the topics of what is important to look for in a church and what isn't important. They will touch on the doctrines of fellowship, inspiration, the Lord's Supper and more. Join us again as we dig into what lies behind the assertions of many when this topic comes up and as we study what God has to say to us in His Word.

4. Leviticus Summary Verse

In our summary of Leviticus we will look at the different types of Law God gave His Old Testament people including the Moral, Civil and Ceremonial. Our verse is Leviticus 19:8: "You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD” (NKJV). God's Law is good, because it reveals His will and what is good for us and all society. But only Jesus has kept it perfectly and He has done that our our substitute.

3. Exodus Summary Verse

In our summary of Exodus we are reminded of God's care and protection, and His love of His people motivates them to love and trust in Him. Our verse is: "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me” (Exodus 20:2-3 NKJV). We will see His deliverance and His care for His people.

CPR: Heaven Questions (Part 3)

Join us for part three of our series on heaven. In this episode Pastor Neal Radichel joins Pastor Mark Tiefel to discuss what heaven will be like (what will be there and what won't be there) and what we will remember when we are in heaven. We will look at the passages of Scripture that help us separate fact from fiction when it comes to these questions so that we might have the comfort that God intends for us to have as we look to Christ. Dig into the Scriptures for answers to these questions and more!

2.Job Summary Verse

In our summary of Job we are reminded of the life of Job and how God used the tragedies of his life to instruct and strengthen him. Our verse is Job 13:15: "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him" (KJV). The LORD assures him that He is merciful and loving, and gives us a new perspective on life and the opportunities that the LORD puts before us to bear witness of Him.

1. Genesis Summary Verse

In our Summary verses of the Books of the Bible we are looking at one verse from each verse which summarizes the individual books in our English Bibles. In this podcast we look at the book of Genesis. Our summary verse for this book of beginnings is Genesis 1:27: “So God created man in His own image; He created him in the image of God; He created them male and female” (HCSB). Join us on Monday and Wednesday for our continuing study!
