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.)

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…

PP139 A Life Dream Shattered: A Personal Testimony

Goodness of God, Summer Challenge, Testimony

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 37:58 — 69.5MB)

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.

“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.

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?

Summer Challenge, Will of God

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

PP084 The Immeasurable Greatness of God’s Power to Keep You Safe

Christian Living, Grace, Summer Challenge

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 22:25 — 30.8MB)

How great is God’s power to keep you safe? It is immeasurably great! After all, it is the same power that God exerted in raising Christ from the dead and seating him on the divine throne far above all rule and authority and power and dominion. At the end of Ephesians 1, Paul prays that the Holy Spirit would fill us with a pervasive sense of how safe we are in Christ! In this episode we also reflect on how the Christian faith tilts towards God, towards us, and towards grace.

Scriptures Referenced: Eph 1:19-23; Acts 19; 2Ki 6; Ps 8, 110
