The Cross of Christ | Profound Truths

The Cross of Christ | Profound Truths

In this episode we discuss the importance of seeing the depth of the cross of Christ. Many people think to take the Lord’s Supper each first day of the week would cause someone to see the crucifixion of Jesus as just another part of our life. However, the consistent reflecting and dwelling on the cross causes a person to gain a deeper appreciation for Jesus and his sacrifice. In John’s writings there are several sections that give us the ability to gain better insight to the purpose of the cross.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Early Christian Writers | Should I Listen to Them?

In this episode we are talking about some of the writings that took place in the 1st and 2nd centuries. More specifically, Christian writers who talked about Scripture and the church in that day. Many assume that because those writers existed so closely to the days of the apostles and the first Christians, that their writings carry some kind of authority or weight. Is this the case? Or is there another way to view these writings from early Christians? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Proclamation of Christ | Unashamed Preaching

In this episode we are in the book of 1 John. In this unique letter we learn how John reflects on his experience with Jesus. What John saw and experienced changed him in an irreversible way. When we consider the fact that Jesus reveals to us who God is and what his word is, it should change us too. Additionally, we will discuss why John starts this epistle off in a way that is so different than the other letters we find in the New Testament. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Christian Allies | Truth Matters

In this episode we are discussing the importance of aligning ourselves with those who practice and teach what the Scriptures say. Sometimes we make friendships with other God-fearing people and even consider them to be allies in the faith. However, we need to be careful that whoever we consider a brother or sister, is actually following what Jesus said. Especially in regard to salvation and how we obtain it. What does the Bible say about those who are God-fearing, but have not chosen to follow Christ fully yet? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Friendship Evangelism | Is it in the Bible?

In this episode we are discussing a popular evangelism tactic that some are relying on to spread their faith in Christ. This strategy referred to as “friendship evangelism” is the thought that we ought to first become close friends with someone before we share the gospel with them. Is this idea found in the Bible? Is this how the apostles and early church were evangelizing? Or is it possible we have developed this habit out of a fear to open our mouths and speak the good news? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
