PP171 Holy Fruit

Can produce from the grocery store really make you holy? Well… no. But Romans 6 does teach us about fruit that leads to holiness. Mike & Matthew wrap up their Romans 6 study by reminding us how much better it is to serve God rather than sin.

Scriptures Referenced:
Rom 6:20-23

PP170 Ya Gotta Serve Someone

Which is better at making people holy, grace or law? For Paul it’s no contest—grace wins every time. And in Romans 6:15-19, the apostle gives us 4 grace-based reasons to say no to sin and yes to righteousness: (1) you become a slave of the one you obey; (2) there are only two masters (and one of them is evil); (3) your conversion was a powerful rescue operation in your heart; and (4) don’t you want to put in as much energy serving your new master as you did your old one?

Rom 6:15-19

PP169 Count Yourselves Dead

As Christians we are dead to our old master (Sin) and alive to our new master (God). So why do we still show up at our old workplace? It’s not enough for us to understand the truth of Romans 6:1-10; we also need to count on it. Only as we bank on the truth that we are dead with Christ and alive to God will we consistently offer our skills and capacities to the cause of Christ. Holiness is a project for the whole of us—body, soul, and mind. (We apologize for a few moments of poor sound quality in this episode.)

Rom 6:10-14

PP168 An Escape Room Approach to Romans 6

Just like in an escape room, where you sometimes have to collect several keys in order to unlock the final one, Romans 6 requires you to figure out several puzzling clues before it yields its meaning. But when the meaning of Romans 6 does open up to us, it provides us the key to living the Christian life. Join Mike and Matthew in this escape room episode as they try to figure out four keys to understanding Romans 6 before the 60 minute time limit runs…

Rom 6:1-10

PP139 A Life Dream Shattered: A Personal Testimony

It’s one thing to say that God is enough; it’s another thing to live it. This past summer we worked through Psalm 25 and its teaching about the will of God. Now it’s time to hear one believer’s personal story of questioning God’s will when his life plan fell apart. Peter Thiessen joins us not to teach, but to tell. To tell a story of God’s faithfulness in the midst of defeat. This is the kind of testimony we desperately need to hear today.

PP129 God’s Will in Hard Places

“There are no safe paths in this part of the world,” said Gandalf to Bilbo… and he was right. Life is often hard. So how is God’s will operating in my life when I am in a hard place, a place of affliction and distress like David? And what if that hard place I find myself in is partly my own making? Find out in this final instalment of Mike & Matthew taking us through Psalm 25.

PP128 How Does God Guide Us?

In this third episode on Psalm 25, Mike opens up a can of worms, contrasting what he calls the blindfold view of the will of God with the guidebook view. Which view do you think is more biblical?


Scriptures Referenced: Psa 25; Rom 3:7, 6:1; Isa 26:7-8; 1Th 4:3, 5:18; 1Pet 2:15

PP127 God Still Wants to Guide You

What happens if we have failed to follow God’s will in the past? Are we condemned to wander the spiritual wastelands for the rest of our days? No, not when our God is the God of faithful love, who “shows sinners the way.” Psalm 25 teaches us that failure is not final with God, that it is the character of God to lead his people, and that a humble heart will once again experience the guidance of God.


Scriptures Referenced:Psa 25; Isa 50:4-5; Isa 66:2
