The Lord Jesus taught that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed, and will be filled (Mt 5:6). The key to satisfying that hunger and thirst is the indwelling Holy Spirit – He empowers righteous living and produces the sea change that fallen creatures require. In the words of Chuck Swindoll, “trying to live the Christian life without the Spirit of God is as futile as trying to earn righteousness apart from faith.” In this first of four August episodes on Romans 8, Mike & Matthew also discuss how the law relates to our Christian life, an important point of confusion for some believers today.

Scriptures Referenced:
Matthew 5:20; Romans 8:1-4

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:07:35 — 123.8MB)

The LGBT2Q+ movement has been successful in convincing a lot of people that God may bless same-sex unions, and that Scripture doesn’t really speak to modern gay and lesbian relationships. Mike and Matthew address this from a Biblical perspective and also provide some helpful guidance on the issue of Christians who experience same-sex attraction.

Scriptures Referenced:
Lev 20:13; Mat 19:12; Rom 1:24-27; 1Cor 6:9-11

CORRECTION: Mike mentioned the name of Richard Bauckham on this episode, when he meant to say Richard Hays.
