[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

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

PP102 GNFY #1, How could he die for me?

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?

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.

PP056 My Chains Are Gone, I’ve Been Redeemed

Christ, Freedom, Gospel, Hope, Redemption, Uncategorized

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 20:42 — 28.4MB)

Everyone loves a story of sweet redemption, but there is no redemption story like that of the Christian gospel. The helpless are rescued. The bankrupt have their debt paid. Slaves are set free. Gospel freedom is the best kind of freedom, and not only has the gospel set us free from guilt through the blood of Christ, it also guarantees us a future redemption when our Redeemer returns.

Don’t let one more day go by without understanding the life-altering truth of justification by faith! It is a doctrine that is culturally relevant and personally relevant because it means we can live life out of a place of acceptance. Its many benefits include (1) peace with God, (2) living in a town called grace, (3) and the certain hope of a glorious future.

Bible, Christ, Christmas, Gospel, Grace

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 19:13 — 26.4MB)

The real Christmas story – that of Christ coming into the world – is an account of God’s amazing grace. And the wonders and beauties of God’s grace are seen on the opening page of the New Testament, before the Lord Jesus is even born. The family tree of Jesus Christ is not a boring list of hard to pronounce names – it is a genealogy of grace.

Scriptures Referenced: Matthew 1:1-23
