Hello! Welcome to Open Circle, a podcast created to enrich your walk with Christ. Produced from Circle Church of Christ in Corvallis,
Oregon, this podcast is a mix of our weekly sermons as well as other topics, interviews, studies, and Biblical topics for Christians to come closer to God.
So just what does being present, prayerful, understanding how God works in and through His people, and understanding the End Times mean for us today? We wrap up today with not only rounding out our understanding of our place in the end times, but some challenges on what that means for you and me today.
Romans 8:28 is an extremely well known verse and is often used to reassure Christians that no matter what, God will use whatever happens for the good of those who love Him, the church, according to His ultimate purpose. While there is truth in that way of thinking and interpreting, it’s also not completely right.
These are the end times- meaning every day since Jesus has been the end times (Hebrews 1:1-2). So how we do not only interpret these events around us (or do we) but what is our response? What is our vocation in a world of pain and hurt?
With as crazy as this year has been there has been much said about these events, what God is doing, and what they mean for the church. But is the church really experiencing things that are that different than the past? Must we rely on interpreting ‘new’ events, or should we interpret today through the
Rolland House guest preaches today and takes on a great, personal journey by looking at Jesus being tempted in the desert from Luke 4.
