    The apostle Paul was quick to both acknowledge and reflect upon the troubles of life which came his way in serving the Lord Jesus Christ. Especially in II Corinthians, Paul is focused upon the messiness of life and the faithfulness of God to sustain His children through all manner of troubles and challenges. Our textual passage in II Cor. 4:16-18 is a representative capsule of truth addressed to Christians about how to face life's difficulties. We were told by Jesus to expect them (John 16:33 “...in this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world”). This lesson outlines how God works through the various dimensions of our life to keep us spiritually strong and fruitful!

    The tragedy of modern evangelism is to call many people to faith but few to obedience. Salvation in our Wesleyan heritage includes justification followed by sanctification. The theme of holiness and sanctification includes the entire life of a believer from the moment they receive Christ as Savior until they died. Throughout this study, Lt.

    This podcast begins a series on how holiness is expressed in the lives of Christians as it relates to worldly possessions. Lt. Colonel Jewett suggests that an important foundational principle is that God has provided “enough” resources to provide for the basic needs of everyone. The Christian who lives intimately with God is satisfied with “enough” and lives in stark contrast to a world that serves “mammon” (money) and is driven by greed, excess, entitlement, overconsumption and over productivity.

    The story of the call of Abraham recorded in the 12th chapter of Genesis represents the first appearance of God to a person after the Fall of Adam and Eve. The relationship which God establishes with Abram (before his name is changed) is personal and based upon a covenant. The altars which Abram builds are outward expressions of yielding his heart to God's will. It is no surprise to see that the basic principles established in this relationship between God and Abraham are foundational to the Biblical call to God's people to live holy lives. The call to obedient faith and the importance of the altar are evidence of our allegiance to God. The call to holy living in I Peter 1:15-19 and 2:9-11 is examined in light of the story of Abraham.   To download the study guide visit https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/holiness

    This is the first study of a three-part series on holiness and spiritual gifts in I Corinthians 12-14. Paul's teaching on spiritual gifts is in the context of his lengthy teaching on the body of Christ. This study identifies four (4) underlying principles in chapter 12 that serve as practical guidelines for corporate holiness.   Although they emerge clearly from the text as foundational to the ministry and life of any congregation, in practice these principles are often obscured by the constant pressure of church activities. They are simply stated as follows: God desires that in the body of Christ there are no independent people, no unimportant people, no self-made people and no stagnant people.   To learn more and to download this month's study guide, visit https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/holiness
