In this lesson, we continue our Book by Book sermon series through Old Testament. In which, we are seeking to learn how the entire Bible is one cohesive story that all points to Jesus as our Savior. Leviticus is a theologically rich book that sets the religious culture in which Jesus grew up, lived, and fulfilled. Understanding its teachings helps us to better appreciate the perfect life Jesus lived and what His atoning death on the cross means for all mankind. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/justsomechristianguy/support

God, Our Father - There are over 100 names for God found in Scripture. All are accurate and worthy of reflection. Yet, one is lifted up in the NT over 200 times, in every single book (except 3 John), and far more often than any other. What is that name? Father. What does this name for God reveal about His desired relationship with us? How does Jesus emphasize this aspect of God? And in what way sis God like a father? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/justsomechristianguy/support

God ordering the killing of entire nations is a point skeptics are quick to bring up in an attempt to paint God as an unloving and evil being. Numbers 31 is one of the first explicit examples in the Bible where such an order is given. How can we make sense of the orders given from God in Numbers 31? In this lesson, we look at the greater context of all the events taking place to help us understand why God ordered the Midianites to be destroyed. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/justsomechristianguy/support

The Book of Exodus's big picture – God's rescue from the bondage of human depravity not just a historical event from the 1400s BC, it is the great metanarrative for all live. It is always man who corrupts and God who rescues. He does this out of love for us. That rescue has its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus, whose life, death, and resurrection give ALL people the opportunity to be set free from the bondage of their sin; free from its desires in that it gives us hope beyond material pleasures; free from its consequences in that through Christ our sins may be pardoned and washed clean from our record. Time and time again throughout the rest of Exodus through Deuteronomy we read of the many occasions Israel looked back to Egypt and longed for their home among pagan ways, in so doing they transgressed their faith in God and God punished them for it. Today, Paul commands that we shall not continue in sin that grace may abound. Those of us who have been baptized into Christ's death are raised into a new life with Jesus; this new life is free from the bondage of sin just as Israel was free from the bondage of Egypt. We are free to live for the righteousness of God; just as Israel was made free to become a people who served God. Let us never forget the freedom that is found in Christ, the freedom to be a child of God, the freedom to escape the corruption of this world. Let us embrace our own Exodus from our former lives and seek to live forever in the service of the one true righteous King, Jesus our Lord and Son of God. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/justsomechristianguy/support

In this lesson, we answer the question of whether believing in the identity of Jesus is enough or if we must also believe in His teachings. Specifically, how important is doctrine? Today, "doctrine" is what separates many flavors of Christianity that teach different doctrines. When we look at Scripture, there is only one doctrine we are to abide by, the doctrine that Jesus taught.

In this episode, I share four key Biblical principles present in Spider-man No Way Home and why those principles helped make the movie one of the greatest superhero movies of all time.

Three reasons Christians should care about the Jeffrey Epstein case (and by extension all criminal cases). First - an obligation to care for the victims. Second, an obligation to support a corruption free government. Third, an obligation to be better evangelists.

With the widespread news of Kanye West's "radical" conversion, I want to offer a few thoughts to keep us focused on some gospel truths as they relate to such celebrity level proclaimed conversions.

As someone who professes the need for us to curb our lives to the biblical standard instead of changing the biblical doctrine to fit our lives, I sometimes hear the complaint "you are being a legalist" or "you care too much about God's word". So I decided to post my top 3 favorite ways to respond when you hear this criticism.

What does Jesus mean when he says not all people who confess the Lord and do works in the Lord's name will be saved?

In this episode I share some off the cuff thoughts while driving. These thoughts were focused on the double-edged sword problem of expecting too much from Christians. Does the world expect too much expertise from Christians? But alternatively do Christians expect as much from themselves as they should?

In this episode we cover the purpose and projected direction of this podcast so, you, as the listeners, will know what type of content to expect in the future. During this episode we discuss the need for Christian apologetics, the need for evangelism, and the need for keeping a Christian perspective in your daily life. *Two points I failed to mention in this episode: 1. The Christian faith is the only faith contingent on a historical event. 2. For an 'archaeological mystery' look up the pre-Cambrian explosion.

This episode was pre-recorded as a sermon at the Ogden Church of Christ, and is intended to help all those seeking God find assurance in their salvation. This lesson examines a handful of Bible passages dealing with salvation and how we can be confident in it.
