More and more people are claiming to be spiritual but not religious. It offers an attractive alternative to the bleakness of atheism and the dogma of religion. After all, you get to come up with your own customized, bespoke approach to connecting with a higher power. But it also comes with some haunting questions: “How real is this spiritual connection I have? And is it personal enough to satisfy me?” Maybe it’s time to give historic Christianity another look. Because it’s only in Jesus Christ that we can experience a spiritual connection real enough to satisfy our minds and personal enough to satisfy our hearts.

1 John 1

PP218 Doubting God’s Love

Doubt, Gospel, Love

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 31:47 — 58.2MB)

Just because you’re a Christian doesn’t mean you’re immune from doubting God’s love. And an insufficient grasp of God’s love for us can lead to a host of other problems in our walk with the Lord. Malachi 1:1-5 can help. There we discover God’s burden to reassure us of his love, and to do so by giving us a pair of gospel contact lenses. Will you put in your gospel contacts?

Scriptures Referenced:
Malachi 1:1-5; Eph 3:14-19; Romans 5:5-8

PP154 When the Gospel Becomes Irrepressible

Gospel

Sharing our faith in Christ with unbelievers does not come easy for most of us. How can the gospel go from being something we can’t get out to being something we can’t keep in? The Apostle Paul shows us how we can grow in this area in the opening verses of his letter to the Philippians.

Scriptures Referenced: Phil 1:1-2, 12-13, 2:5-11, 3:1, 8, 20-21

PP123 A Theology of the Body

Gospel, Sex

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 20:54 — 28.7MB)

[This episode touches on some sensitive subjects and may not be appropriate for younger listeners.] Secular culture feeds us so many lies, and one of its biggest areas of deception and confusion today is that of sex. On the one hand, the culture seems obsessed with the human body. Yet at the same time, they talk as if what we do with our bodies doesn’t really matter. As a result, the culture cheapens sex. The gospel gives us a deeper and more meaningful view of the body – and consequentially, a more sacred view of sex.

Scriptures Referenced: 1Corinthians 6:12-20

We all love to be insiders – to have special access and privileges. That’s exactly what God does for every believer in the Lord Jesus. Of all the gospel blessings God gives us in Christ, the highest one is likely this – he adopts us as his sons. Are you enjoying your VIP status in God’s family?

PP115 Gospel Judo: Defeating Guilt by Agreeing with It

Gospel, Guilt

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 16:57 — 23.3MB)

In Judo one learns not to resist when attacked, but to yield. In a very real way, the gospel teaches Christians to do the same. Whether it’s Satan, or your own guilty conscience accusing you of sin, learn to agree with the charges. When you do, the enemy’s attack to harm you can actually strengthen your enjoyment of Christ.

Scriptures Referenced: Rom 5:6-8; 8:32

Good News For You, Gospel

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 22:47 — 31.3MB)

The gospel is Good News For You – which is why we are calling this new series that explains the gospel “GNFY”. In this first episode of the series, we think about the Christian teaching of substitution – how does it work that the ancient historical death of Jesus of Nazareth impacts us today? How could his death atone for my sins?

Scriptures Referenced: 1Cor 15:3-4; Titus 2:13-14; 1Pet 2:22-24; 1John 2:1-2

PP058 Christians Are Called Saints

Christian Living, God, Gospel, Holiness, Sanctification

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 22:00 — 30.2MB)

God calls us to be holy, but we can’t make ourselves holy. What’s the answer to this conundrum? The gospel! God is justified in commanding us to be holy, because He first calls us saints. Understanding our identity in Christ is key to becoming holy, because sanctification isn’t a self-help program, but a work of God within us.
