    Degrees of Separation | Ep. 130

    Degrees of Separation | Ep. 130

    We're digging into the core of what it means to walk the narrow path of a true disciple, a Christian. The supposition of our faith walk in life are the baby steps of repentance, water baptism in Jesus' name, and receiving the Holy Ghost. These are the essentials of Christian doctrine. We consider the profound statement found in 1 Timothy 4:16, discussing the implications of sound doctrine in both personal salvation and collectively as a whole for the body of Christ. 

    Venture with us as we navigate the intricate narratives that distinguish various religious traditions from the original teachings of Jesus and His apostles. Through a meticulous comparative analysis of Islam, Roman Catholicism, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormons, we reveal the contrasts in foundational claims, divine encounters, and doctrinal deviations that go against the unwavering foundations of the doctrine of the apostles, the prophets, and Jesus. You'll be invited to examine the bedrock of your convictions, weighing them against the scales of spiritual authority.  Learn why the Bible remains the touchstone of Christian belief amidst a plurality of doctrines. 

    In a candid closing chapter, we confront the sensitive issue of doctrinal errors, recognizing the challenge of overcoming generations of ingrained beliefs. We emphasize the importance of biblical literacy, humility, and the willingness to engage in open discussion as catalysts for spiritual maturity. This episode doesn't merely recount historical missteps; it serves as a beacon for today's followers, urging vigilance against misinterpretation and emphasizing the need for a grounded faith.

    Prayer to the One | Ep. 128

    Prayer to the One | Ep. 128

    The Lord's Prayer is not merely a set of words to be recited; it is a blueprint for understanding our relationship with God Almighty. This podcast progresses from a study on Daniel 7, drawing connections between the Old Testament visions and their New Testament counterparts. Through this exploration, we encounter the Ancient of Days, whose divine judgment and eternal presence permeate the pages of scripture. This imagery paints a picture of the eternal self-existent One who is both timeless and actively involved in the unfolding story of humanity.
     
    As the episode unfolds, we are brought face to face with the awe-inspiring revelations presented in the book of Revelation chapter 5. The narrative transports us into the throne room of God, where John the Apostle witnesses the Lion of Judah break the seven seals, the One found worthy. This act of Christ is not just a historical moment; it is the culmination of prophecy, a celestial chorus heralding the triumph of divine love and justice.
     
    The conversation then turns to the exclusive claim of the Bible to salvation. Listeners are confronted with the weighty implications of Jesus’ declaration that He is the only path to the Father. This discussion is critical, for it emphasizes the necessity of forgiveness and the pursuit of God's will over our own. It is a call to align our hearts with the divine will, recognizing the unchanging nature of God's judgment.
     
    Finally, the episode examines the nature of prayer and God's willingness to respond to the faithful. The emphasis is placed on the alignment of our desires with God's will and coupled with persistency, prayer is both heard and answered. Listeners are encouraged to engage not merely by listening to the podcast but with the act of prayer itself, stirring their hearts to press into the presence and eternal glory of the Almighty.

    The Mystery of the Church and the Kingdom | Ep. 127

    The Mystery of the Church and the Kingdom | Ep. 127

    Our deepest roots are not tethered to this earth but to the Kingdom of God. The role of the Church is the physical manifestation of the eternal Kingdom. We're peeling back the layers to reveal the core function of the Church in our lives and the world, emphasizing its nature as a vessel to spread the gospel rather than being a final destination.
     
    The discussion takes a turn towards authenticity in faith, focusing on the need for belief anchored in the scriptures. We traverse through time, from the Old Testament to the days of Pentecost, revealing the transformational impact of the Holy Ghost and the defining virtues of God's children. We don't just discuss these truths; we connect with them, challenging ourselves to embody Christ's love and mission in the world.
     
    We wrap up with a dive into the unveiled mysteries of God's kingdom, the unification of Jews and Gentiles in Christ, and the purpose of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The episode culminates in exploring the tangible ways Jesus Christ has manifested Himself throughout history, as seen in Acts, and how His Spirit binds us all to His purpose. 
    As we hold up a mirror to the image of Jesus Christ, we inspire our listeners to reflect that same image in their daily lives. It's a call to action to embody His presence on earth, through the Church, and in our daily walk.

    Jesus is... God | Ep. 126

    Jesus is... God | Ep. 126

    We navigate the sacred relationship between God the Father and Jesus Christ. Like blood cells that bring life-sustaining oxygen to our bodies, the revelations in this episode will breathe new understanding into your faith. Prepare to connect the dots between scripture verses as we dissect Jesus' identity as the image of the invisible God and the firstborn over all creation. Uncover the biblical narrative that paints Jesus as the embodiment of God's fullness, inviting us to know Him more intimately than ever before.

    The term "Godhead" might seem unrelatable, but we're unpacking that word, diving into the Greek origins that enrich our understanding of this strange word. We contend with the nuances of theios, theiotēs, and theotēs, analyzing their distinctions in understanding God the Father in relation to Jesus. This episode is not just a lesson in theology; it's a quest to reconcile translation variances within the scriptures and to grasp the true nature of God's Spirit as indivisible from Jesus, as outlined in His Word.

    In a world where religious perspectives vary greatly, our discussion boldly affirms the deity of Jesus through the scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments. We delve into the powerful declarations of God's singular sovereignty, as echoed from Isaiah through to Jesus' profound assertion of His identity. This isn't just another Bible study; it's a profound acknowledgment of Jesus at the heart of true biblical faith, a thrilling and essential affirmation for believers. Join us as we further understand why we proclaim the revelation that Jesus is God manifest in the flesh, the bedrock and cornerstone of our faith.

    The Spirit: "The Gift" vs "the gifts" (Part 2) | Ep. 125

    The Spirit: "The Gift" vs "the gifts" (Part 2) | Ep. 125

    Embark on a profound exploration of faith as we journey through the impactful teachings of "A Walk Through Acts" and delve into the heart of the Gospel message and our response. Witness how the Holy Spirit's transformative power can redefine personal and familial ties, challenging believers to embrace truth with unwavering conviction. This episode shines a light on the complexities facing those who tread the path of faith—navigating the internal struggles that arise when the Gospel's radical demands intersect with long-held traditions and relationships.

    Have you ever grappled with understanding the role of the Holy Spirit in your spiritual journey? We unravel the intricate distinctions between the gift of the Holy Ghost and the diverse array of spiritual gifts bestowed upon believers. Through scriptural insight, we illuminate the essential nature of 'dorea', the indispensable gift of the Holy Spirit pivotal to our salvation, and how it contrasts with 'charisma'  gifts of the Spirit to edify the body through its own members. 

    This episode culminates with a challenge—urging you to share your faith with courage and love. Reflecting on personal experiences of witnessing to friends and family, we underscore the urgency of sharing the gospel with others. The discourse directs us to a deeper understanding of the ministry of the Holy Spirit from the New Covenant promises to the transformative indwelling grace that causes us to live out God's statutes, keep His judgments, and most importantly, do them!
