This series of podcasts in 2024 will help Christians think biblically about these new stories and events by looking at them from a Christian worldview.

The Sufficient Word | Episode 36

The world offers us a myriad of options when it comes to our identity and purpose. As Christians we must deny what the world offers and ground ourselves in who we truly are…creatures made in the image of our God. We are created to reflect God in the world through attributes with which He has endowed us. When we deny the truth of our identity and look inwardly to determine who we are, we end up depressed, anxious, and deceived. The identity given to us by our Creator is the only sustainable human identity.

Identity Matters | Episode 37

When God created human beings, He breathed into them the breath of life, and that means we are much more than material substance…we are spirit as well. Our spirits seek to worship because God created us to worship. Every person will worship, so will we use our spirit-filled bodies to worship God or will we give our worship over to worldly idols? What each believer needs is for God to give us breath again and again so that we give our worship to Him alone.

Dusty Worship | Episode 38

Life continually points us to more. Materialism is a real threat. Contentment in the world’s economy is hard to acquire. The Word of God is calling us to just the opposite of what the world suggests. In Christ, we find true satisfaction, true contentment. We are designed by our Creator to find our ultimate satisfaction in Him alone. Jesus Christ is our life.

Satisfied in a World of Materialism | Episode 39

Genesis gives us three primary purposes for God’s design for marriage. First, men and women mutually complete each other. God created a unique need in the heart of Adam, and Eve fills that need. She is his complement…his helper. Second, man and woman, as husband and wife, are to multiply and fill the earth, and in doing this, God’s glory is multiplied in the world. Third, marriage mirrors God’s relationship to us. We reflect God to the world in our marriages. Marriage is not just a cultural construct. Marriage beautifully represents God on earth.

Marriage: A Beautiful Design | Episode 40

Preaching God’s Word is a heavy calling, one that mere man seems unfit to tackle. Yet, God uses men to speak to His people and to share His revealed Word through preaching. Biblical preaching is declaring a message for God, and in the New Testament, “herald” is used to describe what those who preached were doing. They were used by God to herald the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Biblical preaching is the exposition of scripture, the explanation of divine revelation. It is a serious calling to speak God’s Word to His church.

A Theology of Preaching | Episode 41

Unfortunately, many preachers today seem to think that using the Bible for preaching is optional. The preaching is entertaining and personally focused, and people are more and more drawn to this type of preaching. This type of lifestyle preaching can make expositional preaching seem boring or irrelevant. Therefore, preachers who use an expository style seek to make not only contextual and historical clarity a main goal, but they also clearly show how the scriptures are relevant to the life of their congregation. God’s Word is what anchors believers, and it should be the main focus of every sermon.

Preach, and if Necessary, Use the Bible | Episode 42

Of all the ways that God could have chosen to share His revelation of history with mankind, He chose words, and He chose to have those words written down so that all humanity in all times would be able to hear from God. In addition, He chose flawed humanity to not only document His infallible Word but to then preach it to the nations. The character and personality of the preacher impact his authority and are certainly used by God to impact His people, but no matter who the preacher is, it’s the Holy Spirit who is the catalyst in the work of salvation.
