Jesus Christ is the center of the Christian faith. Seems obvious. But why? What must we know about Him? And what effect does that have on the rest of human life? Listen in today to a fastball right down the middle on the person of Jesus.

The Bible uses the image of God being our Father. What does that really mean? Why is it important? Listen in today as we explore the beauty of God’s heart for us.

Who are we? As a church here in Salem, today we begin a year-long journey through our refreshed Statement of Faith. We begin today with the “love behind all love” — the Trinity.

Politics is one of those things we’re not supposed to talk about anymore in church. Right? Well the Scriptures and the Psalms actually have a lot to teach us about how believers in the risen Jesus are to engage with the world around us. So let’s get uncomfortable and learn about how we can be witnesses of the gospel in intense political times.

Does what you say with your mouth actually matter? It is very easy for us today to get careless with the words we use. So listen in today to discover the real power behind words and what the Word of God teaches us about the life and death we hold on our tongue.

Out of all the good and pleasant things in the world, unity is one almost every person longs for. What is it about unity that so (unironically) unites us as humans? Listen in today as we learn simple truths in a poetic way from King David in Psalm 133.

We have all kinds of common sayings and refrains in our world. Why are they so important to our formation as a community? Listen in today to learn how a few liturgies from Psalm 118 can drastically transform our every day lives.

What does it look like for a community to walk through seasons of weariness and heaviness together? Listen in today as we learn from Psalm 102 about the hope and redemption of all that is wearying.

Why is obedience so good for a community? Listen in today to learn about how listening to God's voice, especially when difficult, and how it can be the best possible thing for a community of people.

How many days have you been on this earth? How many days do you have left? Most importantly, how are you to live wisely with the days you have? Listen in today to learn how to best "number our days" and live wisely.

Why can't we see God? Is there a reason? Listen in today to learn a little bit more about why the voice of God is enough for us and how it shapes and forms us in powerful ways.

The Psalms are a collection of writings that do more than just teach us. They form us. By God’s grace, it is our hope and prayer this summer that we learn through worship, shared struggled, community, and witness how we are being formed deeper and deeper into the image of Christ.

Marriage is not just a beautiful earthly blessing; it is the ultimate hope of the cosmos. Listen in today as we learn about God's transformative hope for the world through the metaphor of marriage.

The Christian view of sex is perhaps the most scrutinized and targeted doctrine today. Why? What is it about sex and intimacy that garners so many opinions? Listen in today as we learn about God's design for intimacy for us, and not just physically.
