The High Priest of High Priests

There is a heavenly temple and an earthly temple. The high priests were only allowed into the inner parts of the earthly temple, but Jesus walked into both. What does this mean for him and for us?

A Little White

“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.” In this message, Jamin speaks on how Jesus’ phrasing here worked on his heart.

You Can Increase God's Glory

It's hard to narrow the word glory down because it has a lot of meanings in the Bible. In this message, Jamin works off Matthew Bates' book, "Why the Gospel?," to describe God's glory in a way that implies fame. From this point of view, you actually have the ability to increase God's glory. Jamin explains what he means.

Children of Light

In Ephesians 5, Paul talks about light, darkness, and our place in it. Jamin dives into this theme on both a scientific and spiritual level.

Love and Growth

God loves us just as we are. This is good theology. God wants us to grow. This is also good theology. In this message, Jamin identifies this dynamic and talks about how it played out in his life in a powerful way.

Biblical Mythology

Mythology is a great genre of literature for telling true stories that didn't always happen—or at least didn't happen that way exactly. In this message, Jamin takes a look at the story of Noah's flood and offers a mythological perspective of the tale.

The Creation Story

Many people are so focused on debating if the creation story happened literally or not and miss the many important statements it has to make about our identity and place in the world. Jamin hits on seven important points that get buried under the debate.

An Ostracizing Miracle

In this message Jamin gives us a chance to dive into the minds and lives of Mary and Joseph, whose miracle was both incredible and ostracizing. How far would we go to carry a miracle?

The Spiritual Becoming Physical

In this message, Jamin explains the importance of Jesus being fully God, but also the importance of him being made of both Heaven and Earth for resurrection purposes.

Prince of Peace

From the moment of birth, Jesus forces us to pay attention to the many injustices that face the poor. He then spent much of his ministry continuing to turn our attention there.

Scripture, Scribe, and Spirit

After Jesus was resurrected, he opened his disciples’ eyes to see things in the Scriptures they had never seen before. The Bible is a complicated book that requires a spiritual and scholarly approach to understand it in its fullness. In this message, Jamin gives a few examples from some unusual passages to make his point.

Did Not Our Hearts Burn Within Us?

One of the marks that caused the disciples to realize they had experienced the resurrected Jesus was that their hearts burned within them. In this message, Jamin talks about the importance of sensing and discerning the movement of the Holy Spirit through our bodies—be it in our physical senses or our emotional feelings.

Remember What He Told You?

Jesus prophetically relayed his coming death to his disciples several times, but it seemed to go in one ear and out the other. The angels reminded them at the tomb, saying, "Remember what he told you?" Jamin uses this statement to discuss the importance of holding onto prophetic words.

Temperature Control

In this message, Jamin reads quite a bit of the ending of Luke in hopes of helping us feel everything that Jesus went through for us. This, of course, should encourage us to give everything we have to Christ in return. We must check the temperature of our lives so that Christ might find us hot—not lukewarm or cold.

Follow the Signs

When Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemane, he becomes desperate in prayer, asking God for another way. But he follows the signs and impressions he receives, including an angel sent to him at that moment. What signs are we following?

Why Do You Call Me Good?

After a man calls Jesus, "Good Teacher," he responds strangely: "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone." But Jesus is God, so why does he say this?

On a more personal note, do we recognize God's goodness as Jesus did? How might it affect us if we don't?

Those Considered Worthy

Christians often demean themselves with degrading words, but the words Jesus uses to describe the resurrected are quite glorious. They are "considered worthy," "equal to the angels," and are "children of God." How do we see our identity? Does it line up with the way Jesus sees us? How might our lives be different if we did see ourselves this way?

Our Strange Cornerstone

A good cornerstone is crucial to constructing a building, but Jesus identifies himself as a rejected cornerstone. In this message, we look at some of the reasons why people might have rejected Jesus as a cornerstone and ask ourselves if we still do the same thing today.

The Kingdom Can't Be Observed

Christians are known for declaring where the Kingdom of Heaven is, but Jesus said it couldn't be observed and that there's no way we could miss it when it finally came. But he also said the kingdom was within us right here and now. What does this all mean for us today?

Lost Things

Jamin reads three of Jesus' parables back to back, the most famous one being the Prodigal Son. Jesus tells these parables to defend himself against the Pharisees regarding why he hangs out with sinners. What might we learn from his actions?
