Are You Far From God? Here's How Christ Brings You Near

Have you ever felt far from God and wondered if the distance could ever be closed? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster takes us to Ephesians 2:13-15 (KJV) to show how the blood of Jesus Christ tore down every wall — physical, spiritual, and legal — that once kept humanity separated from God. You will learn what it truly means that Christ is not just a peacemaker but our peace, why self must die at the cross, and how His peace is permanent for everyone who trusts in Him.

Are You Living Without God in This World?

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to be without God in this world? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians 2:12 (KJV) and walks through Romans 1, Galatians 1:4, and 2 Corinthians 4:4 to show how mankind turned away from God — not by accident, but by choice. You will learn why the church must remain a light, how Satan works to blind unbelievers, and why the blood of Christ is the only thing that can bring those who are far from God near to Him again. This is a word of warning and a word of hope. Subscribe to Words From The Word wherever you listen to podcasts.

Are You Without Hope or Without God in This World?

Are you carrying the weight of a life that feels hopeless or far from God? In today's Words From The Word devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster draws from Ephesians 2:12 (KJV) to explore five conditions the Gentiles once lived under — and what it means to no longer live that way. You will learn what a divine covenant truly is, why believers grieve with hope rather than without it, and how Paul's bold message at Mars Hill still speaks to people searching for the true God. Whether you are a believer needing encouragement or someone still searching, this devotion is for you. Subscribe to Words From The Word wherever you listen to podcasts.

Were You Ever Cut Off From God's Promises?

Were you ever cut off from God's promises? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians 2:12 (KJV) and reveals five ways the Gentiles were separated from God before Christ came — without a savior, without citizenship, and without covenant. You will learn how spiritual alienation blinds the heart, why the Abrahamic covenant matters to believers today, and how those who were once far off have been reconciled through Jesus Christ. This devotion will deepen your gratitude for what you now have in Him. Subscribe to Words From The Word wherever you listen to podcasts.

How Should the Church Handle Hard Disagreements?

Have you ever watched a disagreement tear a church apart and wondered — is there a better way? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster takes us into Acts 15:18-31 (KJV) and the Jerusalem Council, where early church leaders faced one of the most heated debates in Christian history. You will learn how James led with wisdom, how the apostles responded to false teaching with truth and accountability, and why the church at Antioch rejoiced when the letter finally arrived. Handling conflict God's way brings unity, not division. Subscribe to Words From The Word wherever you listen to podcasts.

Can Traditions Block Someone From Being Saved?

Can a tradition — even a religious one — get in the way of someone receiving salvation? That is the question at the heart of Acts 15:1-35 (KJV), and it is just as relevant today as it was in the early church. In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster walks through the Jerusalem Council, where Peter, Paul, Barnabas, and James each stood up to defend the grace of God for all people. You will learn how the apostles handled church conflict with Scripture, why adding requirements to the gospel is dangerous, and how God's plan to include every nation was always His design. A timely reminder to hold tradition loosely and the Word firmly. Subscribe to Words From The Word wherever you listen to podcasts.

Are You Trusting the Law or the Grace of Christ?

Are you trying to earn what God has already given freely through Christ? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster walks us through Galatians 2:11-21 (KJV) and the powerful confrontation between Paul and Peter at Antioch. You will learn why Peter's hypocrisy was dangerous, how peer pressure can compromise even mature believers, and why placing your trust in law-keeping instead of the grace of Christ empties the cross of its meaning. Pastor Webster also sets the stage for the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15, which will be covered in the next devotion. Subscribe to Words From The Word wherever you listen to podcasts.

Did Jesus Really Include You? What Ephesians 2 Says

Have you ever wondered if you truly belong — if God really included someone like you? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster explores Ephesians 2:11 (KJV) and unpacks the deep social and spiritual divisions that existed in the early church. You will learn why true circumcision is a matter of the heart, not the flesh, and how the grace of God through Christ Jesus breaks down every barrier between people. Pastor Webster also draws from John 17, Romans 2, and Colossians 3 to show that in Christ, unity is not just possible — it is God's design.
