🎃 Mr. GUMÉR — Live @ Halloween Rocks
Recorded live on October 30th at The Barrel Room, Downtown Portland

On October 30th, the vibrant heart of Downtown Portland pulsed with dark energy as Halloween Rocks took over The Barrel Room for a night of beats, costumes, and unforgettable vibes. I had the honor of opening the night with a 90-minute set, diving deep into haunting basslines, electrifying house rhythms, and neon-drenched energy to set the tone for the entire evening.

This set captures the sound and spirit of that night — from eerie buildups to dancefloor explosions. I'm excited to finally share this live recording with you all.

Enjoy the ride, and relive the madness.
Happy Halloween! 🎧👻

Live @ Halloween Rocks Barrel room

Matthew 5:21-26 - Through 6 case studies, Jesus explains what it means for Him to fulfill the law and to invite His disciples into a righteousness "greater than the pharisees." In the first case study, Jesus explores the deeper heart behind the Old Testament command not to murder. In a shocking twist, Jesus reveals the equal culpability of belittling words and the contemptuous heart. He also explores the connection between love for God and love for neighbor in surprising fashion. Through it all, Jesus affirms the incredible dignity with which disciples must learn to view their neighbors if they're going to live in step with His kingdom. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 5 of our series "Jesus's Sermon on the Mount: The Good Life in the Kingdom of Grace"]

Questions for reflection: 1) Explain the connection between this passage and the previous one (Matthew 5:17-20). 2) Why would Jesus say that anger in the heart or contemptuous words will receive the same judgment as murder? What's he getting at? 3) In what ways can anger be a proper response? In what ways can it be a dangerous response? How does our culture often get this wrong? 4) What principle do you think is behind Jesus's story about not offering temple sacrifice while there is unresolved conflict with a brother or sister? 5) How does this passage push us toward a deeper recognition of our need for forgiveness through Christ?


The Knife, the Tongue, the Heart

Matthew 5:27-30 - In His second case study, Jesus explores the connection between the call to faithfulness to the one-flesh marriage covenant and the little looks and thoughts that reduce our brothers and sisters to sexual objects. In Jesus's kingdom, His disciples will fight to dignify one another as the divine image bearers that we are--and they'll live in light of the radical stakes that Jesus introduces here. All of this without shame, but in the loving light of the forgiving, merciful grace of our savior. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 6 of our series "Jesus's Sermon on the Mount: The Good Life in the Kingdom of Grace"]

Questions for reflection: 1) What parallels did you notice in the stories Cameron shared about women's response to Jesus in the 2nd century and British journalist Louise Perry's response to Jesus over the last few years? 2) Why are Christians sometimes accused of being anti-sex? How would you answer that charge? 3) Talk about "covenant commitment" as the center of the biblical sexual ethic. 4) Jesus affirms the Old Testament's prohibition of adultery, but then He reveals its deeper heart. Why is Jesus concerned with what people do even with their eyes and minds? 5) How is this teaching good news for women, in particular? 6) What are some radical measures you could take to step into this fight in light of verses 29-30?

Leering at an Image of God

Matthew 5:31-32 - In His third case study, Jesus naturally turns from adultery and lust to marriage and divorce. Jesus's short statement highlights and answers one of the chief debates of His day: who or what is a marriage for? And how is it most wounded? In this passage we find Jesus's kingdom once again to be a place that champions the sanctity of marriage, in general, and the dignity of women, in particular. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 7 of our series "Jesus's Sermon on the Mount: The Good Life in the Kingdom of Grace"]

Questions for reflection: 1) What experience do you have with divorce in your own family or friendships? 2) Recap the debate in Jesus's day about the grounds for divorce according to the law of Moses? 3) What do you think marriage is popularly thought to be "for" in our culture? 4) What does Jesus's teaching here indicate about how He sees the purpose of marriage? 5) How do we not trivialize the deep importance of our marriage commitments when acknowledging the grounds for divorce that the New Testament gives? 6) If you're married, how have you worked to cultivate health in your own marriage? If you're single, how have you worked to cultivate health in your own singleness?

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel presents his 2021 D.B. Cooper skyjacking 50th anniversary special "COOPER FIVE-OH."

"COOPER FIVE-OH" includes an all-star lineup of D.B. Cooper experts and witnesses. We interview the FBI’s Larry Carr, lead agent on the case when it was closed several years ago. We also talk with Cooper skyjacking passenger Larry Finegold, and Seattle Times photographers Greg Gilbert and Bruce McKim, who were both at SeaTac Airport that night as the skyjacking unfolded, and who both took iconic photographs. Also joining us is D.B. Cooper hunter and expert Eric Ulis, and Bryan Ingram – who, as a child, discovered $6,000 of Cooper’s cash along the Columbia River in 1980.

"COOPER FIVE-OH” was produced and hosted live by Feliks Banel on a commercial radio station in Seattle, Washington on Thanksgiving Eve, November 24, 2021 - 50 years to the night of the infamous skyjacking.
