I started this podcast because I was tired of being stereotyped as lazy, triggered and entitled. I wanted to give voice to a different kind of millennial and invite us to write a new story - one of a generation willing to challenge the status quo, embrace nuance and paradox, and reject PC-culture. This podcast isn’t about finding answers, it’s about asking the right questions. How can we reinvent ourselves and the narratives we’ve been expected to inherit? How can we take ownership over the ...

We look to many people to rescue us from danger and trouble. Firemen, policemen, EMT medics, doctors, or just a kind and strong passerby.--But they are not always able to save the people who cry out to them for help. In our community, we have heard just this week of a poor woman whose car was swept off the highway by high waters, submerged upside d…

In Romans 8, Paul taught that those who belong to Christ are not of the flesh, but of the Spirit, which dwells in each of us.--If Christ is therefore in us, our bodies are still dead, subject to the corruption of sin and death, but our spirits are alive, because Christ's righteousness has been imputed to us---And if we are led by the Spirit of God,…

This Easter Sunday, we especially celebrate the resurrection of Christ. It is a most glorious thing- It brings joy to all believers---But there was a time when the prospect of our salvation was a sad thing. That was true before salvation had been accomplished, and before the purpose and consequences of Christ's death dawned upon the disciples.--Jes…

The disciples asked Christ, who will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven-- They were always jockeying for the best positions, sometimes to the point of embarrassment---They did this because they viewed the kingdom in terms of earthly kingdoms, where there were positions of power and prestige close to the king. How do we get into those slots in…

Paul makes clear in Galatians how we become sons of God- by being joined to Christ by faith, baptized into Christ by the Holy Ghost, put into union with Christ.--There has always been an infinite love between God the Father and Christ the Son, as equal persons of the Godhead, loving and delighting in each other.--Being in Christ, we now partake of …

When Mary Magdalene finally recognized Christ at the tomb on that resurrection Sunday morning, He disclosed to her a great truth- that His heavenly Father is also Father to His redeemed people---After His resurrection, Christ made explicit what He had previously mentioned during His ministry- that all people who trust in Jesus are the children of G…

Christ described how He has many things to say to His people, but they were not able to bear them at that time.--His disciples couldn't accept the death of Christ- They wanted a physical kingdom instead of a justifying sacrifice.--They were prejudiced against the non-Jewish people, thinking that Israel was God's only chosen people, and not understa…

Christ tells us that the Comforter will reprove the world. This is speaking of the Holy Ghost's convicting power in the lost, either directly, or mostly through God's Word, often preached by believers.--Jesus tells us that the Comforter reproves the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. Every man is a sinner, but righteousness is require…

Christ reiterates the coming persecution of His people. The cause is, that the wicked have not known Christ or the Father.--Christ explains that He didn't tell His disciples these things earlier, because He was then with them. But now He is dying, and ascending to glory, so they will be without His personal, tangible, physical presence and comfort …
  continue reading
 
The Comforter will teach us all things, and bring to remembrance the things that Christ said. The Comforter will, as it were, take His place when Christ ascends to glory, and continue to teach and to bring to mind the things that Jesus had told them during His ministry.--Christ warned us, that the world will hate us, because it hated Him first. Tha…

Christ promised us that He will pray that the Father give us -another Comforter,- Who is the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth. Christ promises He will not leave us comfortless, and we will know the Comforter because He will dwell in us.--So the comfort we have in the Holy Ghost is, first, that He dwells in us, giving us life, and sustaining that lif…

Jesus called the Holy Ghost our Comforter, Whom the Father would send in Christ's name after He rose from the grave and ascended to Heaven.--Jesus promised us that the Holy Ghost within us would help us to reply to our persecutors, and that indeed, it would be the Spirit speaking through and for us, to defend the honor and right of our Savior.--Jes…

Everyone longs for a comforter in times of trouble. Not just words, but someone to come along beside us, and help carry the load with us, or at least to understand and sympathize with our trouble.--The great irony of the suffering and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus is this- in order to comfort us by saving us, it was necessary that Christ have no man …
  continue reading
 
How wonderful it is to be gathered together around the Lord's Table to remember how He died to save us, especially after missing out last Lord's Day---Some false religions claim that this table forgives sins and is a propitiatory sacrifice. That is the blasphemy of the Catholic mass, that somehow Christ left some of our sins unforgiven when He died…
  continue reading
 
In John 10, Christ Himself explained why most people do not believe in Him. It wasn't enough for them to see His glorious miracles, nor that He Himself had preached the Gospel to them. They still did not believe in Him.--So Christ explained it to them- -You do not believe, because you are not my sheep.---Many false preachers today are sure that Jes…

The gift of faith is given to us by God, by the powerful working of the Holy Ghost in all the Lord's people. Lost men are naturally helpless to believe the Gospel under their own steam, and yet in each of our believing hearts, there was first a powerful work of the Holy Ghost to convert us---A large part of the miracle power of God in our salvation…
  continue reading
 
Without regeneration, the natural man is at enmity with God. But the work of the Spirit makes us alive to God, and works obedience in us, and faith to trust in Christ and His Gospel unto salvation.--Paul specifically describes the limits of what natural, sinful men can do or know. The only way men can know the things that God has given to us is by …

As Christ explained to Nicodemus, spiritually dead lost people cannot see the kingdom of God unless they are first born again by the power of the Holy Ghost. In fact, it takes a miracle from God for people to believe the Gospel---Just as God worked a powerful work in the hearts of the people of Nineveh to bring them to believe His word and cry out …
  continue reading
 
In Jonah's story, the power of God to save Jonah from the sea is obvious to us. But the power of God to save Nineveh is often missed.--Those people were exceedingly wicked and violent. They started wars, and plundered and murdered entire nations.--But God delivered Nineveh from divine judgment by a powerful working in their hearts, to hear Jonah's …
  continue reading
 
Jonah gives us a striking example of thanksgiving and praise in time of great distress.--He ran from God's commandment to prophesy to Nineveh, and took flight on the sea. God stirred up a great tempest against the boat, and the sailors were finally forced to throw Jonah overboard due to God's wrath against him for his disobedience.--God prepared a …

Hebrews 13 warns believers not to trust in strange doctrines and rituals with sacrifices and meats, such as the old Jewish religion under the Mosaic law. Rather, believers must be established in God's grace, His Gospel, our salvation through the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus.--Those who have been preoccupied with animal sacrifices, physical rituals, …
  continue reading
 
God has provided His people with offerings and spiritual sacrifices and gifts of worship and praise and obedience to Him, and has expressed His delight in receiving them from His people.--None of these offerings are for sin - only the sacrifice made by Christ of His Own body and blood were made for our sin. There are no other sin offerings, and the…
