Exploring My Strange Bible

Resurrection as a Way of Life E5 — In this final teaching of a five-part series, Tim explores the depiction of new creation in the book of Revelation. These final pages of the Bible talk about this future universe as new because many aspects of our current world will not carry over. At the same time, we will experience some points of continuity. So what do we make of all this and why is it important? Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Oregon, on August 21, 2016.

Resurrection as a Way of Life E4 — In this fourth teaching of a five-part series, Tim explores 1 Corinthians 15, one of the most important chapters on the resurrection in the New Testament. The Apostle Paul expounds on the importance of resurrection hope, as well as what the resurrection body is (and what’s it’s not). Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Oregon, on August 7, 2016.

Resurrection as a Way of Life E3 — In this third teaching of a five-part series, Tim dives into one of the most exhilarating and beautiful chapters in all of the Apostle Paul’s writings. In Romans 8, Paul retells the whole story of the Bible with imagery from Exodus, which is all about people groaning in slavery, being liberated by God, and stepping into freedom in the promised land. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Oregon, on July 24, 2016.

Resurrection as a Way of Life E2 — In this second episode of a five-part series, Tim explores 1 Peter’s opening paragraph and its themes of new birth and living hope, both made possible by Jesus’ resurrection. Tim also reflects on what he learned about human psychology and hope from the Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl. He gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Oregon, on July 10, 2016.

Resurrection as a Way of Life E1 — The topics of resurrection and new creation in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles are crucial for how followers of Jesus view the world, the future, and themselves. In this first episode of a five-part series, Tim teaches from Luke 24 on the story of Jesus offering a new vision of the messiah to two disillusioned disciples on the road to Emmaus. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Ore., on July 3, 2016.
