The story of Scripture is God’s story of redemption through His enduring faithfulness. It is our sovereign, creator God, revealing who He is through the continual pursuit of His people.

On episode 128 of the Adorned Podcast, we discuss how God makes all things new and the book of Revelation. The Bible concludes with a vision God gives to John about the second coming of Jesus and the new creation. God shows John many things about what is going to happen in the future. He shows him that there is coming judgement for those who do not follow Jesus and coming new creation for those who do. He urges believers to stay strong. And ultimately he reminds all of us that death will be defe...

On episode 127 of the Adorned Podcast we discuss how God shows us the way through Acts and the Epistles. The book of Acts begins with the ascension of Jesus. He tells the people that “you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Just as Jesus had promised, the Holy Spirit comes at Pentecost. More and more people begin to put their faith in The Lord and this is the beginning of the...

On episode 126 of the Adorned Podcast we discuss when God comes to dwell with his people through His son, Jesus. After 400 long years of silence and waiting, we pick up in the Gospels with the arrival of the Messiah. Born of a virgin, in the most humble way. Everything the Old Testament was building towards is finally here. As a tiny baby God enters into his creation to dwell with his people again. He comes to seek and save the lost and to redeem His people. He does this by living a perfect life...

On episode 125 of the Adorned Podcast our friend and special guest, Courtney Reissig joins in our conversation on the story of scripture to discuss the Wisdom Literature. In the middle of the Old Testament are the books of Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon. These books, written by people such as David and Solomon have been labeled as “wisdom literature” and are included in the story of scripture to remind us that God not only cares about our minds and our actions, but our h...

On episode 124 of the Adorned Podcast we discuss the kings and prophets and how God proclaims that a true and everlasting king is coming. The book of Ruth ends with showing us the next 3 generations: Obed, Jesse and David, but we pick up in 1 Samuel with Eli who trains up Samuel as a judge. As Samuel ages, the Israelites demand a king so they can be like “all the nations.” God tells Samuel to give them a king, but to warn them. God shows Samuel that Saul is to be the first king. Even though he w...

On episode 123 of the Adorned Podcast we discuss the Books of Judges and Ruth; how God is faithful even when His people are not. After Joshua’s death, the people of Israel turn from The Lord and begin to worship idols. During this time God raises up judges to govern over the land and to deliver Israel from its enemies. Some of these judges, such as Deborah and Gideon are great leaders, while others are not. During this time, there is a cycle of God blessing his people, the prosperity of God’s pe...

On episode 122 of the Adorned Podcast we discuss when God calls a nation. After almost 400 years in Egypt and terrible slavery, Moses is born! Because of a horrible decree he was supposed to be killed, but God’s sovereignty is a beautiful thing. He is placed in a basket in the Nile River and the princess finds him. When Moses grows up, God calls him to be the one to lead the Exodus of God’s people out of slavery and to the promised land. Moses doesn’t think he can do it, but God sends plagues an...

On episode 121 of the Adorned Podcast we discuss when a shift happens in the story of Scripture and we zoom in on one man and his family. Abram. When God calls Abram to leave his home to go to a land that he would show him... he does! God makes a covenant with Abraham and he is obedient a lot but there are also times when he chooses his own ways instead of God’s. We see this when Abraham has a son named Ishmael with his wife’s servant, Hagar. Later, God graciously gives him and his wife, Sarah a...

On episode 120 of the Adorned Podcast we discuss when God’s people rebel. Satan, in the form of a serpent, twists God’s words and makes Eve doubt God’s goodness. Eve sees the fruit, desires it, and eats it. She chooses her own way instead of God’s way. (This is going to be a theme we see throughout this story) Adam then joins in this sin with Eve.Adam and Eve choose to rival God instead of choosing to be his representatives. Once they sin we immediately see the faithfulness, mercy, and holiness ...

On episode 119 of the Adorned Podcast we discuss how God’s story begins even before creation. God existed in trinity, God the father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit. In perfect glory, love, and community. Out of an overflow of this love and glory the triune God creates the world and everything in it and says it is good. God creates ex nihilo, meaning out of nothing. The pinnacle of creation is mankind. God first forms Adam from the dust and breathes life into him. He says it is not good fo...
