"What is key is that many of these pastors and leaders have understood the true gospel." Despite government threats of exile, prison, or death, Pastor Chico, a front-line worker in Nicaragua, says pastors are still preaching the truth of God's Word, no matter the cost. They know, as the Bible says, that "faith comes by hearing" (Romans 10:17). The price of their preaching can be high. Listen as Chico shares about a pastor who lost his Nicaraguan citizenship when he left the country to attend a Christian conference, and pastors imprisoned without a trial or any legal process in which to defend themselves. Nicaragua's government is actively working to co-opt and control churches. Christians who won't cooperate are labelled "terrorists". Listen as Chico explains government efforts to influence and control churches, and why every believer in Nicaragua needs a Bible in their hands.

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever felt that split-second hesitation to speak up about Jesus at work, with friends, or even in your own family, we get it and we don't let it slide. We camp out in Romans 1:16-17 and take Paul's words seriously: “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.” Not as a slogan, but as a diagnostic. When we go quiet, what's actually happening in our hearts, and what does that silence communicate about what we believe the gospel really is?We trace Paul's logic step by step: the gospel is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes, and the righteousness of God is revealed by faith. That means the message of Christ crucified and risen is not inspirational content competing with human wisdom. It is God's chosen instrument to save, to deliver from sin's guilt, dominion, and ultimate consequences. We talk about why the world treats the cross as foolish, how social pressure trains us to self-censor, and why “being ashamed” often hides behind respectable excuses.You'll also hear thoughtful push-in from the group. Sister Sean connects shame to pleasing people and the eternal weight of denying Christ. Sister Vanessa highlights that faith itself depends on God's power, not our self-confidence. Brother Rodney shares what it looks like to live this out on the job when conversations get real. If you want a clearer grasp of Romans 1:16-17, biblical salvation by faith, and everyday Christian boldness, this one will steady you.Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review with the moment that challenged you most.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!
Send us Fan MailThe most offensive thing Paul says might also be the most freeing: the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation. Not a motivational message, not religious self-help, not “good news” that needs our boost, but divine power that brings dead sinners to life. We walk through why Scripture can call the message “foolishness” while also calling it God's strength, and why the world's reaction is often confusion or outright hostility.We also get uncomfortably practical. If faith is a gift, then preaching is not about personality, polish, or winning arguments. It's about proclaiming Christ to people who cannot see unless God opens eyes. That leads straight into justification by faith, Christ's imputed righteousness, and the hard line we keep drawing: the gospel is not Christ plus baptism, not Christ plus tithing, not Christ plus your best effort. Add-ons don't “complete” the gospel, they replace it.Then we go even deeper into Romans 1:16: “to everyone that believes.” We talk election, the order of salvation, and why belief is evidence of God's power already at work rather than the cause of it. We also touch apostasy, false professions, and what it means to become a new creation. If you've ever wondered what the gospel actually is and why it has to be Christ alone, this conversation is for you.

Send us Fan MailThe gospel isn't a set of tips for becoming a better version of yourself. It's power. We start with Paul's claim that believers are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, and we follow the thread to a conclusion that strips away pride: the first “works” of the new creation are repentance and belief, and even those are not self-produced trophies.From there we dig into effectual calling and why “power of God unto salvation” means something specific. If God's call is effectual, then it actually accomplishes what he intends. That helps explain the difference between hearing words and receiving life, and it keeps us from treating “to the Jew first and to the Greek” as favoritism instead of the historical order of how God unfolded his promise. Along the way we talk about humility, why seeing our lowliness is tied to seeing God's greatness, and how real spiritual “magnification” makes God bigger in our eyes while we stop pretending we're the center.Then we go straight at the controversy: faith as a gift, not a meritorious act, and why the “free will” story can turn into an idol of self-determination that quietly denies grace. We connect election, redemption by the blood of Christ, Jesus coming to do the Father's will, and the beauty of adoption and sonship, including the Spirit that makes us cry Abba, Father. If you've ever felt the tension between modern church culture and the transforming power the Bible describes, this conversation names it clearly.Subscribe for more, share this with someone who's hungry for depth, and leave a review with the one point you most disagree with or couldn't stop thinking about.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!
Send us Fan MailRomans 1:16 sounds simple until you actually live it: “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.” We sit with that line and ask what it really means when fear hits, when people mock, or when we're tempted to stay quiet. Our conviction is direct and non-negotiable: the gospel is not motivational talk or religious trivia. It is the power of God unto salvation, and when we stop preaching it, we stop delivering the very message God uses to save.From there we widen the lens and talk Bible study that actually changes how you read. The gospel is not locked in a few New Testament verses, it's threaded through the whole storyline of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. We challenge ourselves to look for Christ on every page and even in surprising places like Esther, where God is not explicitly mentioned. If Jesus says the Scriptures testify about him, we want the habit of seeing him everywhere, not only where it feels obvious.We also tackle hard theology with plain speech: election, predestination, God's sovereignty, and the claim that “free will” can become a kind of disbelief when it puts us in the judgment seat over God. Ezekiel 36 anchors the point with God's promise to give a new heart and to work so that his people walk in his ways. We close with encouragement, prayer, and a call to be unapologetically bold while trusting that God does the saving work.If this challenged you, share it with someone who wrestles with Romans 1:16, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

"What is key is that many of these pastors and leaders have understood the true gospel." Despite government threats of exile, prison, or death, Pastor Chico, a front-line worker in Nicaragua, says pastors are still preaching the truth of God's Word—no matter the cost. They know, as the Bible says, that "faith comes by hearing" (Rom. 10:17). The price of their preaching can be high. Listen as Chico shares about a pastor who lost his Nicaraguan citizenship when he left the country to attend a Christian conference, and pastors imprisoned without a trial or any legal process in which to defend themselves. "The main struggle…for people in churches in Nicaragua is that they are afraid to obey the Lord," Chico says. He encourages us that, as followers of Christ, each of us need to decide who is the Lord in our lives. Nicaragua's government is actively working to co-opt and control churches. Christians who won't cooperate are labeled "terrorists." Listen as Chico explains government efforts to influence and control churches, and why every believer in Nicaragua needs a Bible in their hands. Chico and other Nicaraguan Christians have been inspired by the story of Pastor Richard Wurmbrand and his wife, Sabina, the founders of The Voice of the Martyrs. At a meeting where the communist government of Romania was trying to influence church leaders in the 1940s, Sabina famously challenged Richard to speak out by saying, "I do not wish to have a coward for a husband." Chico says there are many pastors' wives in Nicaragua similarly encouraging their husbands to boldly proclaim the gospel despite the danger of Christian persecution. Chico says, "The best testimony we can have as Christians is: Am I really committed to following Jesus as my Lord and Savior?"

In an era of cultural shifts, David Antwi calls for a return to the intensity and purity of Christ's message. This sermon explains why the gospel remains the only true source of salvation and how its 'eternal weight of glory' can transform your perspective on hardship and purpose. inspirational and direct
The sermon affirms that the gospel of Jesus Christ, centered on justification by faith alone in Christ alone, was proclaimed in the Old Testament through Abraham's faith, not by works or circumcision, as demonstrated in Galatians 3:6–9. It emphasizes that Abraham's righteousness was imputed through faith in God's promise of a coming seed—Jesus Christ—making all who believe, regardless of ethnicity or background, true children of Abraham and heirs of the Abrahamic covenant. The message underscores that salvation has always been by grace through faith, with the Old Testament pointing forward to Christ and the New Testament revealing His fulfillment, while warning against false gospels that add human works to faith. Ultimately, the gospel is not a matter of religious heritage, moral performance, or outward rituals, but of trusting in Christ alone, which brings eternal blessing and inheritance, and calls all to receive this free gift with urgency and joy.
Join Pastor Derek Walker from the Oxford Bible Church as he explores the profound connections between the Gospel and the Year of Jubilee. Discover how the Gospel message, as preached by Jesus, fulfills the Old Testament Typology of the Jubilee—a time of liberation, restoration, and divine grace. He delves into the origins of the Gospel in the Old Testament, its central role in the New Testament, and its significance for believers today. This enlightening session highlights the transformative power of the Gospel as a 'now message' calling for faith, repentance, and the acknowledgment of Christ's Sacrifice. This teaching reveals the origins of the Gospel in the Year of Jubilee, which took place on the Day of Atonement, when the Jubilee Trumpeters proclaimed forgiveness, release and restoration for all, throughout all the Land, on the basis of the great sacrifice made on that day (Leviticus 25). Jesus initiated the preaching of the Gospel, and commanded us to continue preaching this same Gospel. In Luke 4, Jesus claimed that His preaching of the Gospel was the fulfilment of Isaiah 61, a prophecy of the Messiah fulfilling the Type of Jubilee for all men by preaching Good News to the poor, proclaiming the Acceptable Year of the Lord, on the basis of God's acceptance of His great final Sacrifice (Isaiah 53).

Ken Murray and I continue our series of podcasts. The Term GOSPEL is widely used to describe the work, content and essence of Christianity. There is a true Gospel defined and identified in the New Testament. And, there is another gospel defined by men that people fall for that has a different and perilous direction from what Christ brought and Who He was.
