Episode 274: THE POVERTY THAT MAKES US RICH

Genuine Christians have the unique ability to be poor and rich at the same time. We are speaking, of course, about spiritual entities, not material ones. We insert the word "genuine" because in every age there are nominal believers who have no personal knowledge of God. This podcast demonstrates that God sent the prophet Isaiah to expose the spiritual bankruptcy of ancient Israel, call them to repentance, and show them what it means to be a true believer (Isa 66:1-4). This passage speaks powerfully to us today when nominal Christianity abounds in our churches and points the way back to genuine faith.

Episode 273: AUDIO; PROPHECY PROVES THAT JESUS IS THE MESSIAH

We revisit the account of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, humbly seated on a donkey, and show how it was predicted in detail by old testament prophecy, proving that the Rabbi Jesus of Nazareth was indeed the long promised Messiah. In this sermon we discover seven such predictions that not only demonstrate the reliability of old testament prophecy but also glorify Jesus as the prophet, priest, and king who came into the world to seek and save lost sinners. The message highlights that this historic event lead toward the cross. the resurrection, how Jesus’ humble kingship ultimately triumphs over sin and death, and eternal life for all who trust in Christ.

Episode 272: AUDIO; PAUL PREACHED CHRIST TO ALL AND SO MUST WE

Though under house arrest for two years (Acts 28:22–31), Paul proclaims Christ and the kingdom “with all boldness and without hindrance.” Luke deliberately leaves Acts open‑ended (for example, there is no reference to Paul's final trial and execution) to show that the mission to the ends of the earth is 'unfinished business' and we today must imitate the Apostle in his unavoidable commitment to preach the gospel to all. This commitment is demonstrated in our passage as Paul meets with Jewish leaders in Rome, systematically proves that Jesus is the Christ from the Law and the Prophets, and explains that because many Jews reject the message, God’s salvation is now going to the Gentiles.
