In this first full episode of the live860 podcast, host Rob Chandler and Pastor Khris Rogers cover the first two chapters of the Book of Judges. The teaching takes the scripture verse by verse, digging into historical context, biblical meaning and application to life today.

This week we look at the life of Jephthah, a man of valor and righteous Judge of Israel. From humble beginnings to a celebrated warrior, Jephthah's life is far from ordinary.

A continuing study through the book of Judges. In this episode we cover the remainder of Chapter 9 and the demise of Abimelech. We also learn the incredible imagery God uses in the very short narrative of Tola to point toward Christ's sacrifice

A continuing study through the Book of Judges. We look into the life and treachery of Gideon's son, Abimalech, and his relationship with power.

A continuing discussion of the Book of Judges. We finish the story of Gideon, his life after defeating the Midianites, and discuss what it means to "finish well".

A continuation of our discussion in the Book of Judges. The episode covers chapter 2.

Naomi learns that the land owner who is so kind to Ruth is none other than Boaz. Boaz is blood relation to Naomi's deceased husband, and therefore eligible to marry Ruth. She seeks the Lord, and puts things in motion.

Ruth and Naomi begin their new life in Bethlehem. But what are two poor widows to do for food? Yahweh always has a plan if we are in the right frame of mind and spirit to follow it. Listen as provision comes in abundance because of a little hard work, and obedience.

Join us as we begin our in depth study through the Book of Ruth. Chapter 1 shows us the sorrow of loss, the torture in making decisions in the throes of grief, and the bonds that matter most.

Listen in for the Season 1 finale as Pastor Khris interviews our host, Rob Chandler. Rob currently serves as an elder at Church 860, along with Chris, Producer Lisa's husband. Hear about how he came to Christ, his experience in church leadership over the last 30 years, and his involvement in music ministry for over 35 years!

In this episode we wrap up our study through the book of Judges. It's a very heavy and sobering account of sexual abuse, perversion, revenge and extreme violence. All things that occur when humans continually feed our own desires and ignore the plan God has for our lives.

At the top of the episode we mention a Human Trafficking rescue mission we partner with-Destiny Rescue. Church 860 is actively raising funds to help these folks rescue the most vulnerable from human trafficking all over the world, and work to take down the criminal enterprises that enslave these people.

As we continue our study through the book of Judges, we look into the cautionary story of Micah, his mother, a derelict priest named Jonathan, and their wickedness in concocting a religion that seems right to them, but is far removed from God.

In this episode we consider the tragic end of Samson's life. We discuss what it means to seek obedience, to choose disobedience, and how those two choices affect how God uses us.

As we continue our study of Judges, we are introduced to Samson. A man known for is superhuman strength, it's his constant disobedience, shattering his vow to God, that defines a life of turmoil.

We finish our teaching and discussion on the life of Jephthah, gain insight on why the scripture's lack of ink on three more judges is a good thing and finish the episode with the birth of Samson.
