Reveal 2023: Supernatural Justice

For most of us, justice is a political conversation, but the Bible presents a rather supernatural view of this topic. The sons of God, the angels, the prophets, the incarnation, and the coming Day of the Lord are all tangled up in this theme. In this short book, Jamin gives us a biblical peek behind the veil to get a better understanding of what we're up against and how Jesus expects his followers to live in response.

Reveal 2023: The Gift of Prophecy

It's a special Reveal Jackson 2023 episode! Ken Brewer dives into the Bible to show us what the gift of prophecy is and how it works.

The Banquet Parables

Jesus tells three parables back to back in Luke about banquets, which teach us how to live and act in heavenly, backward ways. Dive into these parables with us as we discuss humility, the poor, and being "all in."

They Didn't Like the Prophets and Maybe You Don't Either

Instead of recognizing Jerusalem as the place where prophets are honored, he recognized it as the place where prophets go to die. Jamin homes in on this theme, setting us up early for Reveal Jackson 2023 on September 23rd.

The Church and Disability

In this message, Jamin shares several lists from Amy Kenny's book, "My Body is Not a Prayer Request," to help us get a better social understanding of what disabled people deal with in life and the church. Jamin then encourages us to love our disabled brothers and sisters in better, non-ableist ways—exactly as they are.

Much Required

While rest and sabbath are important, we can sometimes turn such moments into apathy and laziness. As Christians, our job is to bring Heaven to earth, and we have all been gifted in unique ways to do so. Jesus expects that we are aware of this and that we will do something with what we've been given. In this message, Jamin tries to discern the difference between busyness, rest, gifts, and work.

Jesus and Anxiety

Jesus tells us to not live in anxiety, which isn't always helpful when we're actually dealing with anxiety. But Jesus also shows us how to deal with anxiety with his own life decisions and spiritual practices. What can we learn from that?

The Evil Eye

The evil eye appears in several places throughout the Bible, including in Jesus' teaching. What is it and what was Jesus' point in mentioning it?

The Good Samaritan and Racism

In this message, Jamin takes a look at the history between Jews and Samaritans to help us see further how powerful the parable of the Good Samaritan really is. The Samaritan seemed free of prejudice and racism and saw the stranger in front of him as a human to be loved.

Fall Like Lightning

The disciples were excited to discover that they could cast out demons, causing Jesus to respond that he "saw Satan fall like lightning." What does this curious phrase mean? Jamin traces the theme of Satan throughout the Bible to show how Satan has fallen like lightning, is falling like lightning, and will fall like lightning.

A Range of Judgment

Heaven and Hell is a simple concept, right? Not exactly. While these seem to be the two end results of judgment on the Day of the Lord, Jesus talks about judgment in a wider sense than that. In this message, Jamin focuses on a few passages that don't exactly match the mold.

Faith and Provision for Ministry

There are three stories intertwined in Luke about doing ministry. Twice Jesus sends his disciples out with a lack of provision for the job, yet they are cared for. But in the third story, Jesus calls them to do ministry the wrong way, which Peter readily embraces.

A Few Crazy Days with Jesus

In this message, Jamin reads several stories from Luke back to back so that we can feel the immensity of what it must have been like to do ministry with Jesus. In this brief look, we see that there's nothing he can't do. Nature has no authority over him. Armies of demons are scared of him. Death obeys his words. Do we walk with such faith in our own Christian life and ministry?

The Hundredfold Christian

In the parable of the seeds, Jesus describes the Christian life as he desires it to be: one that produces a hundredfold. This is a convicting passage for many of us as we consider the seeds we relate to most in this parable. Are we being all that we're supposed to be? What's stopping us from going further and reaping the rewards of Heaven and furthering the kingdom?

A Juneteenth Call to the Church

In this timely message, 1208 celebrates Juneteenth by using it as a stepping stone to talk about the church, social justice, diversity, and anti-racism.

"Clamo, Clamo"

We've recently found ourselves at 1208 pressing in for more of the Holy Spirit. In this message we continue to do so, crying out for God to meet us as we worship so that we might know and experience the greater depths of his Spirit and be continually anointed for his ministry.

Empowered Women in the Bible

The New Testament is full of empowered women, starting with Jesus' female disciples. Jamin dives into the Scriptures to show all the ways in which they served the church, be it as missionaries, evangelists, prophets, apostles, and more.

Pentecost Water

In this message, Jamin provides a narrative of 1208's spiritual journey over the last year and invites us to wait expectantly for the Spirit to pour out in a fresh and visible way.

Jesus and Rumors of Scandal

When a known woman broke into a house where Jesus was, she began to wash his feet with her tears and hair, much to the dissatisfaction of the religious leaders among him. Jesus would likely face rumors in this moment, but he instead admired and appreciated the woman and lifted her up. How do we respond in such moments?

Lady Wisdom and Jesus

In the Old Testament, there's a character named Lady Wisdom. Who is she? How do the New Testament writers connect her to Jesus? And why does it matter to us?
