This series has allowed us to pop open the umbrella and discover the need we all have to live Under Cover – under the cover of God’s authority. For us to be who we were created to be we must be willing to accept the amazing offer God has given us to live our lives differently and with authority ourselves. Why wouldn’t we want to do that? Today we wrap up the series by looking at Umbrella Laws or what we discover as we choose to live under cover for Him.

Today we continue our Under Cover series. So open up your umbrellas and let’s look at four quick stories about some events that reveal authority issues.
Each one gives us an important lesson about living under cover for God – and how we struggle with and handle authority. The conclusions we reach in each mini-story will have us thinking “oh my Galoshes!”
Get ready, it will be fun!

We face life differently because of Easter. We can love as Jesus loves, we can forgive like Jesus forgives, and we are eyewitnesses to the most important moment in history. So what happens now? Well, the answer is simple. We should be Umbrella-ievably excited about living for God. It is time to start living Under Cover….

Dive deep into one of the Easter story’s strangest details: the young man fleeing naked during Jesus’ arrest (Mark 14:51-52). Who was he? Mark? Lazarus? Or could the clue of the “linen garment” point to something even more profound – a resurrection before the Resurrection? Jeff Dixon unpacks this often-overlooked passage from the Garden of Gethsemane, presenting a thought-provoking theory that connects burial shrouds, Jesus’ powerful “I am,” and a potential hidden miracle. Join us for this Easter Egg Hunt installment that will challenge you to look closer at scripture.

Join our Easter Egg hunt for hidden gems in the Easter story! In this episode, we uncover a powerful detail often overlooked in the Garden of Gethsemane: Jesus’ specific mention of having “more than 12 legions of angels” ready to intervene. Why this number? We break down the math (based on scripture itself!) to reveal the colossal, world-ending power Jesus voluntarily refused to use. This isn’t just a throwaway line; it’s a profound testament to His deliberate sacrifice, His immense love, and His ultimate control over the situation. Understand the Easter story on a deeper level.

Peter’s impulsive sword swing created a mess in the Garden – physically, spiritually, and practically for Malchus. Discover the “Easter egg” in how Jesus responded: not just healing, but restoring His enemy to his livelihood and position, effectively cleaning up the consequences of His disciple’s mistake. This final miracle before the resurrection is a powerful demonstration of grace, love for enemies, and Jesus’s willingness to mend what’s broken, even for those who don’t follow Him. What does this teach us about forgiveness and reacting thoughtfully?
