The Freedom of Self-Awareness | Tullian Tchividjian | "Vagrants of Grace, Part 03"Luke 5:27-32

"No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house." Mark 3:20–3

We're going to continue along in Mark's gospel, as we study chapter fourteen, verses twelve through thirty one. Here we see the scene of the last Passover, and the  Lord's last meal with His disciples.  The last few hours of the earthly life of Jesus are a wonderful picture of a man who knew His destiny, and accepted it willingly - because of His incredible love for us!

We're going to continue our verse by verse study in Mark's gospel today as we near the time when the Lord will be arrested and crucified. These verses describe some of the most important moments in human history - indeed they tell what God was willing to go through so you and I could have a chance to live in eternity with Him!

Send us a textBaptism represents a profound moment in a believer's journey – not as a requirement for salvation, but as a public declaration of an inward reality already accomplished through faith. This conversation explores the beautiful symbolism of baptism as "ceremonial marriage" between the believer and Christ, making visible our commitment to join ourselves to Him while turning away from the world.Through personal testimonies, we hear moving accounts of believers who experienced baptism after genuine conversion – sometimes immediately, sometimes years later. These stories reveal the joy of public declaration, especially when shared with family members who make the same commitment. As one participant beautifully expressed, baptism is like "updating your relationship status" – you must be in the relationship before you can announce it to the world.The discussion takes a sobering turn as we confront modern Christianity's tendency to nullify Christ's work. Many believers find creative excuses to avoid biblical practices like baptism, fellowship, and engagement with God's Word, revealing a troubling lack of desire for spiritual things. The contrast is striking – people willingly sit through marathon movie sessions but struggle with an hour-long sermon.Paul's powerful warning in Galatians 2:21 anchors our exploration of grace versus law: "I do not frustrate the grace of God, for if righteousness came by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." Adding any element of law-keeping to salvation not only frustrates God's grace but renders Christ's sacrifice meaningless. As one participant poignantly observed, returning to legalism after salvation is like "being freed from prison, then voluntarily walking back into your cell and locking the door."We conclude with the profound truth that salvation has always been by grace through faith – from the beginning of time until now. Every person throughout history has been saved the same way, not by works or law-keeping, but by God's grace received through faith. Join us for this rich exploration of baptism, grace, and our eternal relationship with Christ.Support the show

Send us a textNavigating the boundary between law and grace is one of Christianity's most challenging theological frontiers. In this thought-provoking discussion on Galatians 2:19-20, we explore Paul's powerful declaration: "Through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God."What does it mean to be "dead to the law"? How does our crucifixion with Christ transform our spiritual reality? These questions lead us to a profound truth - that adding any requirements to Christ's finished work fundamentally alters the gospel itself. As one participant poignantly remarks, "You can be married to Christ or Moses, but not both."The conversation unfolds to address practical questions about relating to those with different theological perspectives. How do we engage with people who insist on adding legal requirements to faith? When should we continue dialogue, and when should we "shake the dust off our feet"? We offer nuanced perspectives on maintaining doctrinal integrity while approaching disagreements with both wisdom and grace.We examine how the law itself condemns us as sinners and drives us to Christ, freeing us from its power once we're in Him. This spiritual reality isn't about license to sin but about finding our righteousness in Christ rather than in our own law-keeping efforts.The discussion culminates with a powerful reflection on our identification with Christ's death and resurrection. When He died, we died with Him. When He rose, we received new life - not a modified version of our old life, but Christ's very life within us.Join us for this enlightening exploration of what it truly means to live not by law but by faith in the Son of God "who loved me and gave himself for me."Support the show

Send us a textThe age-old struggle between grace and legalism takes center stage in this deep, theological exploration of what makes a gospel truly "good news." From the very first moments, we dive into the dangerous territory of gospel additions – those requirements some claim are necessary for salvation beyond faith in Christ.Through careful examination of Paul's letter to the Galatians, we unpack how certain religious groups distort the gospel by adding requirements like water baptism, Sabbath observance, dietary restrictions, or temple rituals. The Mormon church serves as a case study, with their requirements for baptism of the dead and abstention from tea and coffee according to their "Word of Wisdom." As one participant powerfully states, "If you add anything to the gospel, it's no longer the gospel."The conversation reaches its theological depth when exploring Paul's confrontation with Judaizers who demanded Gentile converts be circumcised. This historical conflict perfectly mirrors modern debates about what constitutes saving faith. We examine the profound statement in Galatians 2:19 – "For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God" – revealing how the law's purpose was always to expose our need for grace rather than provide a pathway to earn God's favor.Perhaps most moving is the moment a worship leader shares lyrics from the hymn "All Sufficient Merit," bringing several participants to tears with its powerful reminder that Christ's work alone is sufficient. The song encapsulates the entire discussion: "I lay down my garments. Many empty boasts, good works now all corrupted by a sinful host. Dressed in my Lord Jesus, a crimson robe made white."This isn't merely academic theology – it's the beating heart of Christian freedom. Understanding that salvation comes through faith alone liberates believers from the crushing weight of trying to earn God's favor while simultaneously inspiring a heartfelt response of gratitude that manifests in godly living. Join us for this transformative conversation about what makes the gospel truly good news, and discover why anything added to grace is no longer grace.Support the show

Send us a textWhat happens when well-meaning believers start adding requirements to salvation by faith alone? Paul's letter to the Galatians confronts this dangerous tendency head-on, and his words remain just as relevant today as when they were first penned.The conflict centers on a simple question with profound implications: How are we justified before God? Paul makes his position crystal clear—"By the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." Yet the Galatian believers were being influenced by Judaizers who insisted that while faith in Christ was good, they still needed to be circumcised to truly be right with God.This struggle between faith alone and faith-plus-works continues to challenge Christians across denominations and traditions. Whether it's baptism, speaking in tongues, Sabbath observance, or dietary restrictions, many believers still feel compelled to add something to Christ's finished work. As one participant in our discussion noted, "When they start adding that 'but,' they don't know the gospel."What makes Paul's argument so powerful is his personal testimony. As a former Pharisee who understood the law better than most, he recognized its inability to justify sinners. The problem wasn't with God's law, which remains holy and good, but with human frailty. No one can perfectly fulfill the law's demands, which is precisely why salvation must come through another means—by grace through faith.When Paul writes, "If I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor," he's highlighting the danger of returning to a system he knows cannot save. Having abandoned law-keeping as the path to righteousness, any attempt to reestablish it would constitute a rejection of Christ's sufficient work.The simplicity of the gospel is both its beauty and its stumbling block. We're justified by faith alone in the finished work of Jesus Christ—nothing more, nothing less. This message strips away human pride and religious performance, leaving us to rest completely in what God has done rather than what we must do. And that, perhaps, is why we find it so difficult to accept without trying to add our own contributions.Have you been complicating the simple message of salvation by grace through faith? What "buts" have you been adding to the gospel? The freedom Christ offers comes when we finally stop trying to earn what has already been freely given.Support the show

Jesus has a very stern, serious message for the religious leaders of His day. And it's a message we need to hear today. The Lord was speaking hard truth but did so with love. And was willing to speak the truth even if it meant they would crucify Him! We'll hear what He has to say here on a Daily Walk.

As the student questions series continues, I'm talking through ideas for conversation inspired from a text we use in Core Theology class at Concordia University-Irvine–Called to Believe by Steven Mueller. In this episode we continue with chapter 12, which discusses the means of grace. Some thought prompts for discussion: Neither closed nor open communion are consistent with the will of God or His good message.  Is there an alternative? No human being has the authority to forgive sins Leavened vs. unleavened bread Fire vs. water--how do we think about Christianity? Giver vs. gifts

In this episode we continue with chapter 12, which discusses the means of grace. Some thought prompts for discussion: I've heard it said, "We baptize babies because they can't believe."  What would be a helpful response to this?  The phrase "born again" does not occur in the Bible.  Is this a surprise? The Bible teaches "believer baptism".  What does that mean? "You can't be saved unless you are baptized." What are we to do with this? What about the argument that it's not possible for Jesus to give us His body and blood to eat and drink?

In Part 2, we start off talking about the underground nature of trans and drag safe spaces such as Compton's back in the Sixities, and well before that. Because of this, precise records of places and events are often hard to come by. Saoirse also speaks to the human psychology of needing other people to act in order to justify joining an action. Of course, everyone's threshold for this varies. Shane joins in to talk about how queer history is the story of fighting back against hate when there's nothing left to lose. Folks on the frontlines of these battles don't always plan the fights that end up happening. Case in point—the events at Compton's Cafeteria that form the basis of the play. Then we shift the conversation to talk about Compton's Cafeteria Riot and how the play came about. Mark Nassar (Tony and Tina's Wedding) saw the Tenderloin Museum's (TLM) exhibition on the riot at Compton's and soon got in touch with Donna Personna and Collette LeGrande through a project the two were working on at the time—Beautiful by Night, a short documentary about their lives as trans people and drag queens. Over the course of about a year of periodic meetings at Mark's house, where Donna and Collette shared their stories of Compton's and the riot, the three weaved together enough personal stories to create an immersive play. Katie Conry at the Tenderloin Museum told the group that if something ever came out of what they're doing, to let her know. Shane shares her story of the first time she saw Donna Personna perform. Prior to that, Shane thought that drag was a young person's thing. She'd never seen someone of Donna's age do drag. But she was blown away and was able to meet Donna. That night, Donna hinted to Shane about the project she was working on with Mark Nassar and Collette LeGrande. She told Shane that when the time came, when they had something ready, she'd let her know. About a year later, Shane was at Mark's house reading for the role of Rusty, the character based on Donna. Some of this story has already appeared on Storied: SF, in the podcast on Katie and TLM. The museum helped bring the play to life by getting a space for the production. It was 2018. They were doing it. The first run of Compton's Cafeteria Riot lasted several months. It was deemed a success and the plan was to bring it back in 2020. But the universe had different ideas. Prior to the pandemic, the biggest challenge was securing a space. But then, Shane says she was at Piano Fight in February 2020 for an event to sign a lease on a new spot. Just a few weeks later, the first shelter-in-place orders were handed down. Shane speaks to what it means, now more than five years down the road and in a very different political and social environment, to get the play staged. And Saoirse talks about how honored she is and how personal it is for her to portray an actual living legend (Collette LeGrande). I ask Shane and Saoirse to respond to this season's theme on Storied—”keep it local.” Saorise then shares the story of being targeted and harassed by right-wing bigots (is there any other kind?) right here in San Francisco. She tells this story to emphasize that, even in The City, trans people are not safe from fascist transphobia and violence that are spreading across the nation and the world. She also speaks to the massive wealth disparity here in SF and The Bay. All of this to say that for Saoirse, keeping it local requires engaging with all of these truths. Shane begins by riffing off of Saoirse's response. She works for The City and County of San Francisco and wonders whether some of her coworkers know what's at risk. She points to right-wing groups coming to SF to hold “de-transition” events. She then ends the episode by cataloging the many reasons she loves The City and wants us all to fight for it.
