God Has Spoken

In this episode we begin working through Paul’s letter to the Colossians. In this opening chapter we see Paul pray about God’s power that is at work in these brethren. This power was also displayed through Jesus Christ and his redemptive work on the cross. Do my prayers match the depth of Paul’s prayers, and do I strive to let God’s power through Jesus to change me into a mature disciple?

In this episode we draw on the examples from the previous 3 podcasts to answer a crucial question: what must I do to be saved? Many people and Bible teachers will give varied answers to this question. Some include steps that others do not include. But what does the Bible say? What conditions must I meet if I want to have my sins forgiven? 

In this episode we continue a brief series that covers the conversion stories in the book of Acts. In chapter 16 Paul finds himself preaching in a Roman city called Philippi. After upsetting some townsfolks due to his preaching and miracles, Paul finds himself in prison with his preaching companion Silas. What opportunities for evangelism will be afforded to them in a place like that? And what does the message of salvation include for those they preach to?

In this episode we continue talking about some conversion stories found in the book of Acts. In chapters 10-11 we are introduced to a Gentile man named Cornelius who feared God and sought to know him. When the apostle Peter was sent to preach to him, it started a change in the Lord’s church that made it evident that all men, including Gentiles, are welcome to enter the body of Christ. What does this message of salvation mean for me?

In this episode we are looking at the conversion story of the Apostle Paul, who was formerly known as “Saul”. While on the road to Damascus this former persecutor of God’s church encounters Jesus and his life is changed forever. Throughout the book of Acts his story is told a total of 3 times, and reveals to us what we must also do if we want to be saved. 

In this episode we are in the first few chapters of the book of Ezekiel. While the children of Israel are exiled in Babylon, Ezekiel is called by God to go and preach to his fellow man and is informed that they will not want to listen to what he has to say. Why would God send someone to people who refuse to hear? And what does God expect of me and my preaching today?

In this episode we are going to be all over the book of Proverbs, specifically addressing the proverbs on fools. We often don’t like to think of ourselves as a fool, but the Proverbs in the Bible expose us in many areas of our life. What can I do to be more wise, and less like a fool in day to day life?

In this episode we finish our 4 part series from the sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 5-7. In this final section we hear Jesus admonish us to make a choice. Will we choose to listen to him and follow what he says, or will we be like a fool who hears him, but disregards everything he has said? How can I be better about following through with the teachings of Jesus even when they are hard to apply? And do I marvel at Jesus’ teaching the way that I am supposed to?
