Despite the The Princess Bride reference, marriage is a worthwhile endeavor for so many reasons, the foremost of which is that it reflects the image of God back into the world. Because, you see, the promise to stand beside someone, no matter what, is who God promises us!

Welcome to our new series "Rooted in Relationship", where we dive into scripture to see God's blueprint for community. Pastor Dave and Britni Dooley teach us the foundations of relationships that stem right from creation. We were created in the image of God and designed to be relational just as we see in the relation of our Triune God. Listen in and be encouraged to live as image bearers of Christ.

Rooted in Relationship

Foundations of Relationship | Week 1

Jesus cannot be fooled. We discover this in Luke 20:20-26, when Jesus says that we should render to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. He outsmarted the flatterers who would say they followed God but in fact did not give their hearts to God. Jesus saw through the flattery and excuses and made a call on each life to follow God.

Chapter 2 - The Infinity Focus

This week, Daniel Barth offers several fascinating observations about the second commandment in our series on the Ten Commandments. We're challenged to examine how we percieve, imagine, and relate to God. The core message reminds us that while we shouldn't worship other gods, we also shouldn't create false images of the one true God. This commandment, found in Exodus 20:4-6, warns against reducing God to our own preferences or imaginations. We're encouraged to see God as He truly reveals Himself, not as we wish Him to be. The sermon draws an interesting parallel between our relationships with others and our relationship with God, highlighting how misunderstanding or misrepresenting someone can lead to hurt and tension. This insight invites us to approach our faith with humility and openness, seeking to know God as He is, not as we imagine Him to be. As we reflect on this message, we're called to examine our own faith journey and consider whether we've created a 'grandfather in heaven' instead of embracing the true Father revealed in Scripture and through Jesus Christ.

The Ten Commandments | Do Not Make For Yourself an Idol - Exodus 20:1-2, 4-6 - Daniel Barth

This week we dive into the implications of the sixth commandment, 'You shall not murder.' Far from being a simple prohibition, this commandment reveals a profound principle: every human life is sacred. We're challenged to see beyond mere behavior modification and embrace a transformative journey of the heart. The story of Samson serves as a cautionary tale, illustrating how unchecked anger can lead to destructive consequences. Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5 further illuminate this, showing us that anger, left unchecked, can be as damaging as murder itself. We're called to examine our hearts, interrupt cycles of anger, and actively pursue reconciliation. This message invites us to view every human interaction as laced with eternal significance, treating each person we encounter as bearing the image of God. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to cultivate a posture of humility and actively seek to transform enemies into friends, mirroring Christ's example of absorbing violence and returning love.

We exist to see people come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. The church is so much more than a building. It is a body of believers called by our Lord Jesus Christ to share the Gospel with those who do not yet know who Jesus is. As the church, we gather together regularly through Sunday Morning Worship, activities, groups, and much more.

At Midtown Presbyterian Church, we value honest questions and genuine community, working alongside one another as we discover more about what it means to follow Jesus in the modern world, and in Phoenix. You are welcome here.
Listen to our teachings in this podcast to follow us, and be sure to join us Sunday mornings; visit thespringmidtown.org to learn more.

This podcast is recorded in my car as I drive to work. I do it this way so that I can work through ideas organically without the luxury of a Bible or any other books to fall back on. This way I know how I sound when I talk on these subjects and I can listen back to what I said and see the path and progression of my own theology and understanding of Jesus. I do not edit so as to keep discussions as raw and real as possible, although I do pause from time to time, like when I recently spilled my coffee or when I get a call.

Remedy City Church exists to take the remedy of Jesus Christ to the needs of Muncie, Indiana, and beyond. We are called to care about our church community (to help one another move from where we are to where God wants us to be), about our communication of Christ (to tell good news to church and city, Christian or not), and about our city (to show how God’s forgiveness radically changes a person from the inside out).
