We look at Proverbs 1 and the affectionate authority of God the Father. His desire was not to create everyone and then sit back and watch it unfold, but rather to speak to that which He created and to have relationship with them. He was and is an involved Father.

The Affectionate Authority of God

We look at tradition and Scripture, and the real problems when Christians elevate tradition to the level of Scripture or even place it above Scripture. In this episode, we continue to study this dichotomy in Matthew 15.

Tradition! (Part 2)

It&apos;s a common theme in the New Testament: The scribes or Pharisees often came to Jesus with "questions" that weren&apos;t really even questions. They came to try to trap Jesus, challenging His "transgression" of the tradition of the elders. They&apos;re not wanting to know anything. They&apos;re not trying to get closer to God. Rather, they come from a position of pride, not approaching Jesus as LORD, but as someone to investigate or criticize. We take a look at Matthew 15 and the difference between tradition and Scripture. 

Tradition! (Part 1)

Back in October of 2019, we interviewed a good friend Julius Sitterlee, whose life was dramatically changed after a doctor prescribed a medicine that had an extremely adverse affect on him. Since then, Julius has been through countless tests, studies, and through it all has had the privilege of walking with Jesus and seeing His hand guide Julius and his family. Listen as we talk again with Julius about these past few years. (To listen to our first interview with Julius, click here).

Physical Affliction & Walking with Jesus - Part 2 (feat. Julius Sitterlee)

Often, those who "have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof" do say they believe in Jesus. And yet, they stay in their sin, they are not saved. There is a difference between the belief of a humble, broken, lost sinner, and the belief of a devil.Listen here for the first part of this two-part series...

The Belief of a Devil in Perilous Times

Scripture speaks a great deal about the heart. It is "deceitful" and "desperately wicked" (Jer. 17:9), it is the source of our sin and defilement (Matthew 15:18-20), but a "broken and contrite heart" God won&apos;t despise (Ps. 51:17).  Today we talk with Jonathan McMasters, a young man who is quite familiar with the heart, both physically and spiritually. Jonathan has also undergone four open-heart surgeries throughout his life and speaks to us about how the Lord was with him through it all, even as an unbeliever, and how the Lord gave him a new spiritual heart through salvation.

The Heart (feat. Jonathan McMasters)

Today we look at the difference between interacting with Jesus as He is and interacting with morality, or theology, or social norms. There is an eternal difference between the two.If you&apos;re always learning, always getting your theology right, always attempting to follow goodness or social correctness, it&apos;s just going to inflame pride and keep you from Jesus. 

A Form of Godliness in Perilous Times

We spend some time in Acts 2 and the preaching and response during Pentecost. Scripture says "they were pricked in their hearts" upon hearing the preaching during this time. Who did this pricking?

Who Convinced You?

If you&apos;ve been listening to the podcast for a while, you might be curious as to why we would discuss politics on this show. Take a step outside the box with us as we talk with Christin McMasters, a blogger who goes by the name "The Liberty Belle." Learn more about Christin and The Liberty Belle at www.thelibertybellenc.com

Politics & Jesus Christ (feat. The Liberty Belle)

God initiated salvation. His response to sin is judgement and He judges between that which is sin and not sin. There&apos;s a difference between goodness and wickedness. God&apos;s response is to express truth, act according to truth, and to interact with you whether you&apos;re saved or lost. 

Salvation (Part 3)

We continue this incredibly important series on salvation - preservation from destruction, from an eternity in hell according to Scripture. Whether you are a believer in Christ and have known salvation personally, or have never even heard of it at all, the reality is that Jesus is real, God is real, His wrath upon sin is real, and opportunity for salvation is real. Join us as we look at this throughout the Bible!

Salvation (Part 2)

Salvation is not just a theological concept that varies from denomination to denomination. It cannot be separated from God. So in this episode, we begin by looking at the reality that God is alive, and that this living God gave us Scripture. 

Salvation (Part 1)

The final part of our look at the relationship between prayer and evangelism. We&apos;ve looked at the need to declare the Word of God as it is, without concern for how people respond or how they may be offended. We must preach, teach, minister the Word of God. Today we look at 1 Thessalonians 1. We may have different cultures, and different experiences, but we still heard the same Gospel and believe the same Jesus from this time in Thessalonica. This church experienced affliction, just as any Bible-preaching, Jesus-loving church will. They had particular needs, just as we do. Prayer is just as necessary in these times as evangelism. 

Prayer and Evangelism (Part 4)

We look at Ezekiel 22 - God spoke to Ezekiel and God spoke through Ezekiel. He&apos;s using Ezekiel to say "Thus saith the Lord," to reveal the sin going on at this point in history, to bring it to light according to God&apos;s holiness. This is always going to provoke a response in those that hear. It may provoke anger, it may provoke silence. But our ministry is always to give the Word of God regardless of how people respond. We need some simple, basic, Holy Spirit-given, Gospel preaching. 

Prayer and Evangelism (Part 3)

Evangelistic work is the outflow of relationship with God, the natural outflow of following Jesus and Jesus making you a fisher of men. So prayer is not something to be penciled into our schedule, Scripture commands us to pray without ceasing. This is only really possible if you’re born again, because God is always with you no matter what you do, so prayer naturally arises because you start talking with God.
