Conduit Church Podcast

There is a lot going on these days in Israel. I've written about them on my blog at www.darrentyler.com I decided to record some of my thoughts for the podcast.

Moses goes home for the first time in 40 years. Standing in the palace of Pharaoh that Moses himself used to play in as a child. He found his dreams that were buried long ago were resurrected by God.

We've fixed our recording quality issues. God calls Moses and Moses feels completely unqualified and unable. Gods first question to Moses was "what's in your hand?" This is the basis for ministry for all of us.

God loves nobodies. Moses was a somebody in Egypt. He was rich, powerful and educated. At 40 years old it would have made perfect sense for God to launch the exodus at that moment, except that He didn't. He led Moses to the back side of the desert where he would spend the next 40 years becoming a nobody. If you feel like a nobody, like you have no power, no influence, no popularity then you're in great company. If you do feel like you have all those things, God might need you to take a trip to the desert. Even when it seems like God is absent, He is in fact working. Like Israel we might not see it, but just below the surface even right now, God is in fact working. Our deliverer is coming.

There are so many striking similarities between Jesus and Moses, and for our time that we live in specifically. When Jesus was talking to Moses on the Mount of Tranfiguration (such a spiritual sounding term) it says that they were talking about Jesus "departure" which in the original Greek is exodos. Jesus was bringing about a new exodus, setting up a new kingdom. With everything going on in our world around us, what a great time to start a study on Exodus.

This was a teaching I did at The Journey on October 12. It was first planned as something that I was going to share back in August. Due to the death of my mother it I never got to share it. 2 months later I realized that this might not be a "new" Word but it is most definitely a "now" Word. If you're feeling any sort of uneasy feeling, fear, or worry about the current events in our financial markets this teaching is for you.

What does it mean to be a conduit? How did we come up with the name? What is the vision behind it?

Darren returns from his trip to Africa. He talks about experiences, shows some videos, and has a panel discussion with Nick Kulb of Creation Concerts and Cliff Skinner, tour manager for Kutless who went with him.

I took a few minutes to kind of talk about that last night with my mother, and then some thoughts on how Gods Word truly was a lamp to my feet during this process.

After 10 days in a hospital with my dying mother these are just some random thoughts, experience, etc. Bottom line is that Gods Word truly was and remains a light unto my path.

With the recording problems we've had at Conduit the last couple weeks we have gone without having the updated teachings here. I spoke a few months ago at Journey Ecclesia on the Fruit of the Spirit. Here's that teaching and we'll get back into the swing of things next week with regular Monday night teachings posted.

There has been a debate that has raged for millenia on whether you are secure in your salvation or not. Putting the theological gymnastics aside, this is an important question for folks who are struggling with the issue personally. Have you just done too much? Have you blown it too bad? Are you for sure going to heaven? Hebrews 6 is a chapter that is a tough one to stomach. It seems to contradict the idea that you are secure in your salvation. But does it really?

 

We took some time and dug a little deeper into exactly what it means that Gods Word is alive, active and sharp. Gods Word isn't used for lopping off our sinful parts, but for a deeper more pure reason.

 

 

This week we tried to make it all the way through Hebrews 2 and we made it.

The plan was to go through all of Hebrews 2. We got through verse 1.

God has spoken in Jesus. The language of God is Jesus. God speaks to us in His Son. In the language of Son. In "sonnish".

This was a second attempt at getting through Hebrews 1

One of our very fist teachings from the book of Hebrews.

This is the teaching from Hebrews 4 from Conduit Bible Study on May 4, 2008. We take a good solid look at what it means when the writer says that Gods word is powerful and active, sharper than any two edged sword.
