Black Rock Podcast - Halloween Episode
Black Rock Church Sermons
Welcome to The Black Rock Podcast — where we chat and chew. Today, we’re diving into a timely topic: Halloween. Where did it come from? What’s really behind all the costumes and candy? And as followers of Christ, how should we think about trick-or-treating and the deeper battle between good and evil that plays out every day — not just on October 31st. Let’s unpack it together.
info_outlineThe Parable of the Unforgiving Servant teaches us how great a debt we’ve been forgiven. Because of the great debt that has been forgiven for us, Jesus commands us to forgive others. This forgiveness is not an unrealistic expectation placed on us, but instead, through forgiveness, we’re able to mirror Christ’s life and work through our actions.
