Long before Adventures in Odyssey invented the Imagination Station, John Bunyan conceived the Interpretation Station. There the Interpreter teaches us many lessons to help us on our heavenly pilgrimage. Who should we choose as spiritual guides in life? How do we overcome sin, live with an eternal perspective, and persevere through attacks on our faith? The Interpreter (who represents the Holy Spirit) can help us with all this and more.

Scriptures Referenced: Rom 7:5-6, 16:17-18; Acts 15:9; Luk 22:31-32; Joh 6:37-40

What would it take to make you sing again? If you could hear what God calls you, that would do it. If you could know how God feels about you, that would do it. If you could see how he clothes you, that would do it. And if you could see what he’s promised you, that would do it too!

Scriptures Referenced: Ps 149; Mar 1:11; Luk 15; 1Joh 2:25

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?

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

PP101 Of Course You Feel This Way!

Christian Living, Depression, Joy

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 19:43 — 27.1MB)

For many of us, our joy can take a hit in January and February. Often we assume that negative emotions are a sign that we have done something wrong in our relationship with God. But what if the opposite was true? What if we could learn to hear a different message from our emotional struggles, a message that (strangely enough) would bring us comfort? For Christians, our negative emotions can actually serve as affirmations of the legitimacy of our faith.

Scriptures Referenced: Ps 139:11-12; Gal 5:17; Rom 7:23; Eph 6:12; Rom 8:23

PP100 Our Ever Faithful God

Christian Living, Faith, God, Goodness of God

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 23:11 — 31.8MB)

We don’t know what changes 2023 will bring, but we do know one thing that won’t change – God will still be faithful. We can be up and down, but God’s faithfulness to us doesn’t hinge upon whether we are up or down. The church in Corinth had more than one issue that needed cleaning up, but God was faithful to them because God always sticks by His people. And as Matthew shares from his own experience, sometimes it is in our “downs” that we really learn the faithfulness of God.

Scriptures Referenced: Neh 9:18-19; Lam 3:22-23; Isa 48:21; 1Cor 1:8-9; 1Cor 10:3-4; 1Cor 10:13

PP099 Christmas at Grandma Athaliah’s

Christmas

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 21:54 — 30.1MB)

While good grandmas might go on shopping sprees at Christmas, Grandma Athaliah preferred killing sprees. And in one of her evil rampages, she almost succeeded in wrecking Christmas forever. Thank God for Aunt Jehosheba, though! Dale Ralph Davis has memorably called her “the Lady who saved Christmas.” This Christmas we need to keep our spiritual armour on, be ready to serve as God’s special agent, and kindle a nice cozy fire of hope within our hearts because we happen to know the best Christmas secret of all!

Scriptures Referenced: 2Ki 1:1-3; Matt 2; Rev 12

What if the most difficult times of life are actually the times in which God is working most actively to bless us?

Christmas, Incarnation

Charles Wesley’s Christmas carol, “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” is packed full of spiritual truth, including some precious lines about the incarnation – God being manifested in human flesh. What does it really mean, though when the song speaks of Jesus Christ as “incarnate deity?” Tune in to hear Matthew & Mike clarify the theology of the incarnation, as well as speak of its main purpose and how it matters to us today.

Scriptures Referenced:
