A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

"The Unforgiveable Sin" (Mark 3:28–30) 48:54

vor 20 Tagen48:54

48:54

In this sermon, guest speaker, Andrew Graham, leads us in considering Mark 3:28–30. He reminds us of the incredible breadth of the Lord's forgiveness. There is no sin and no words we can speak, which the Lord will not forgive. Having pointed out this truth, he moves on to discuss "the unforgivable sin" and the ramifications of turning away once enlightened. This blasphemy of the Spirit is not a matter of speaking the wrong words but of rejecting Truth and wanting nothing to do with Christ, while knowing exactly who He is. These people don't want His forgiveness and they shall not have it. Moving on from there, Andrew Graham applies the importance of these truths to the lives of mature, established believers. Listen in and be encouraged in your pursuit of Christ.…

Ephesians 5:15–21 This evening we begin the long section that runs from 5:15 to 6:9, where Paul again exhorts us to “walk” and, after an initial paragraph, works through the various relationships in an ancient household. Our focus this week is on his initial paragraph and the careful watchfulness he calls us to as he unfolds the nature of the Christian life, walking wisely, understanding the will of the Lord, and being filled by the Holy Spirit—which he explains by means of four results. Thanksgiving for ALL things brings in a discussion of how to give thanks in the midst of suffering, and a closing comment on submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ sets us up to move into the remainder of the chapter next week.…

Trusting Jesus Again for the First Time (Matthew 15:29–39) 30:09

The feeding of the four thousand, this time in Gentile territory, is a testament to Jesus' boundless compassion and provision. While there are distinct differences, the similarity between this miracle and the feeding of the five thousand a chapter earlier serves both as a needed reminder and as a gentle rebuke of our forgetfulness. Listen, not just with the present story in mind, but with a renewed trust in the One who meets our greatest and deepest needs.…

Ephesians 4:17–24 50:39

vor 10 weeks50:39

50:39

Ephesians 4:17-24 contrasts the futile, darkened lifestyle of those without Christ with the transformed life believers are called to live. Paul urges Christians to abandon their former ways, of ignorance and sensuality, and instead embrace their new identity in Christ. This involves "putting off" the corrupt old self and "putting on" the new self, created in God's likeness, through a renewal of the mind, resulting in a life of true righteousness and holiness.…

Cleanse My Heart, O God! (Matthew 15:1–20) 27:45

vor 10 weeks27:45

27:45

As Jesus’ ministry continues, the criticisms of the Pharisees and scribes sharpen—but Jesus meets them head-on. Their complaint about the disciples transgressing the tradition of the elders gives Jesus the opportunity to reveal the way they circumvent God’s law and seek to replace it with human authority. His words give us occasion to reflect on our own tendency to substitute the demands of God’s law with a different set of rules we believe we can keep, instead of setting our hearts on Jesus’ fulfilling of the law in our place.…

Power that Dispels Our Doubts and Fears (Matthew 14:34–36) 25:58

vor 11 weeks25:58

25:58

In a transitional passage often lumped with what follows or precedes, Matthew reminds us of precious truths at the core of Christ’s public ministry. As he arrives on the shore we immediately see how word of mouth spreads the news. We then see that even a mere touching of Jesus’ garment brings healing—because Jesus takes hold of those he saves. We further see that Jesus saves to the uttermost, reflecting on the language Matthew uses to describe the healings. As we turn to reflect on ourselves, let us consider how Jesus saves us to the uttermost; how, though our faith be weak, we are saved by his firm and unconquerable hold on us; and let us ask the Lord to open our mouths to spread abroad the news of what he has done for us, that others may be drawn to him.…

Ephesians 4:7–16 describes how Christ distributes diverse gifts to individuals within the church, each according to his own measure. These gifts, including apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, are given to build up the body and equip her for ministry. Join us as Pastor Tony highlights how every believer is uniquely gifted for a specific role in the kingdom. Each one of us, then, contributes to the church's growth in grace. And we discern our gifts in service and in attention to the ordinary means of grace!…

Pastor Tony’s sermon, “The Sea is His, for He Made It" (Matthew 14:22-36), considers Jesus's dual nature. He is presented as True Man in his weariness and need for prayer. Simultaneously, he is shown as Very God in his miraculous walking on water and calming the storm, demonstrating divine power over creation. This passage underscores that Jesus's divinity and humanity are both essential For Us and For Our Salvation, highlighting his role as the Sovereign mediator and utterly sufficient redeemer.…

Tucked away in his comments is the potent metaphor of the church as a body, which we take the time to discuss at length. Paul’s portrait of our mutual interdependence and support is set squarely against core elements of our cultural identity as proudly self-sufficient, providing us with much food for thought.…

Pastor Tony's sermon, "Jesus Feeds the Multitude," based on Matthew 14:13-21, explores one of Jesus’ best-known miracles, the feeding of the five thousand. Walking through the text he first looks at how the miracle unfolds, highlighting Christ’s active compassion, His challenge to the disciples to meet the crowd’s need, and his provision of the resources his disciples lack. Second, Pastor Tony discusses the role of the sign Jesus performs within Jesus’ ministry and the book of Matthew. Lastly, he concludes with timeless truths to reflect upon, showing how Jesus continues to call us to work beyond our ability and resources, that we might learn to depend on him.…

27:37

In his sermon “The Hardening of Herod’s Heart,” Pastor Tony considers a flashback concerning Herod and John the Baptist in Matthew 14:1–12. More important than all of the political intrigue is the way in which Herod models how sin devastates and hardens the human heart. We consider in turn how sin breeds fear, how fear then compounds sin, and how compounded sin hardens a fearful heart. Listen well for the challenge to your own soul, and know that the cross of Christ is the only power able to break the pictured cycle of sin and fear and hardening.…

In his sermon "Belief and Understanding," Pastor Tony leads us through Matthew 13:51–58. He highlights first the blessing of belief, emphasizing the disciples' affirmation of understanding in verse 51. Second, he speaks of the delight of discipleship, describing the "householder" in verse 52 who brings forth both new and old treasures, symbolizing the ongoing growth and joy of faith. Finally, Pastor Tony warns against the folly of familiarity, illustrating how the people of Nazareth described in verses 53–58, already acquainted with Jesus, miss the significance of His ministry and take offense. The sermon challenges us to move beyond mere familiarity with Jesus to a genuine belief leading to joyful discipleship.…

In his sermon, "Treasure New and Old," Pastor Tony explores the parables in Matthew 13:44-52, highlighting the nature of the Kingdom of Heaven. He emphasizes first, the surpassing worth of this kingdom. Like a treasure hidden in a field, it is so valuable that all else is willingly sacrificed to obtain it. Second, he speaks of the surpassing joy experienced by those who find this treasure, echoing the merchant who sells all he has for a pearl of great price. Finally, Pastor Tony stresses the surpassing urgency of following Christ, drawing our attention to the many fish discarded from the fisherman's net. The sermon calls us to recognize the immeasurable value of the Kingdom, embrace the joy it offers, and respond with urgent obedience to Christ's call. As Pastor Tony points out, if we are counting the cost, we have lost sight of its worth.…

Recognizing the overwhelming burden of Moses' leadership, Jethro advises him to delegate authority to capable men, establishing a hierarchical court system with judges at various levels. This delegation of authority allows Moses to focus on more important matters while ensuring justice and order among the people. It also serves as a framework and example for church government, reflected at the council of Acts 15 and followed by our denomination.…

"Resting in Christ" (Matthew 12:1–14) 25:22

vor 26 weeks25:22

25:22

Matthew 12:1–14 presents a stark contrast between the rigid legalism of the Pharisees and true Sabbath-keeping. The Pharisees, zealous but legalistic, accuse Jesus' disciples of breaking the Sabbath by plucking heads of grain and rubbing them in their hands. Jesus, however, reframes the Sabbath. He is the Lord of the Sabbath, and His disciples are free to act in mercy and do the necessities, even on the Sabbath. This reframing is a far cry from the self-righteous legalism of the Pharisees, who have turned the Sabbath into a burden rather than a blessing. Jesus, invites us to rest in Him, the ultimate Sabbath rest. It is not a question of what we can't do on the Sabbath but of what we can! By trusting in Christ and abiding in Him, we can find peace and refreshment for our souls.…
