In the Fire In the Fire Podcast

In this episode, we return for the second-to-last (or penultimate!) chapter in the Book of Romans...Romans 15! Here, Paul pulls together a lot of the themes from earlier in the book, wrapping up his letter with a call for the Christians in Rome to live in unity, peace, humility, and selflessness. This episode brings us through a discussion of those topics, as well as a conversation about Paul as a man and minister.

This episode brings us back to a chapter of the Bible we have talked about once before: Romans 13 (see Episode 10!). As we read that chapter, as well as Romans 14, we cover some key Biblical instructions for Christians living our lives in this world. From submitting to authority to the "stumbling block" concept, this episode has no shortage of Biblical lessons. And from history's revolutions to Shrek, it also has no shortage of applicable analogies. Hop into the fire and join us for another great episode!

What does "hortatory" mean? Among many other things, we answer that question in this episode! We march on in the book of Romans and we read and discuss Romans 11 and 12 - two of the greatest books in the Bible. These chapters tell us a little more about the Gospel message to Jews and Gentiles before giving Christians some important lessons on how to live our lives. Come on in and join us in the fire for another episode in our Romans series!

If you couldn't get enough of last episode's discussion over the election of believers, you're in luck! We continue cruising along in Romans in this episode, this team reading chapter 10 and part of chapter 11. In these verses, Paul expands on election and God's sovereignty, with an emphasis on the role that us humans have in this process. This episode brings back a lot of what we have already discussed in our Romans series, as well as some neat Old Testament references. Enjoy!

This week, we grapple with one of the most confusing and debated topics among Christians and theologians as we read through Romans 9. This chapter of Romans gets into the concept of "election" and salvation, which leads us to an interesting discussion on this theological concept. Moreover, though, it leads us to recognize and talk about the sovereignty of God and His plan for the salvation of His children - Jews and Gentiles alike. Join us in the fire as we hear more from Paul in this episode!

In this episode, we are continuing our series on the book of Romans. This time, we read Romans 7 and 8 and talk more about the law and our relationship with it, and more importantly, the freedom we gain from Christ. Once saved, we are no longer under the shackles of the law but are instead ushered into great new freedom. What does this mean? Find out what Paul tells us by listening in.
