Ask, Believe, Dream Bigger: The Greater Things Jesus Promised – John 14:12–14 In Episode 149 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane slow down and dive into just three powerful verses—John 14:12–14—where Jesus makes an astonishing promise about faith, prayer, and the “greater works” His followers will do. What did Jesus mean when He said, “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these”? And what do we do with His invitation to “ask me for anything in my name”? Together, Jamie and Jane explore the difference between dreaming with God and simply asking Him to bless our plans. They talk about bold prayers, surrendered dreams, expectations, and what it means to believe that God can accomplish more through our lives than we could ever manufacture on our own. Maybe we've been praying too safely. Maybe we've allowed disappointment to shrink what we're willing to ask God for. John 14 invites us to believe again, ask boldly, dream with God—and remember that ultimately, it is all for the glory of the Father. Reflection Question: Have I allowed fear, disappointment, or past unanswered prayers to make my prayers smaller—and what might God be inviting me to ask Him for again? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Troubled World, Untroubled Heart: Trusting Jesus When Life Feels Uncertain – John 14:1–11 In Episode 147 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane step into John 14:1–11, where Jesus speaks some of His most comforting words to His disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Jesus knows what is coming. The disciples are facing uncertainty, confusion, and fear—yet He doesn't promise them an easy road. Instead, He gives them something greater: Himself. Together, Jamie and Jane unpack what it means to have an untroubled heart in a troubled world, why trusting God doesn't require understanding everything He's doing, and the hope found in Jesus' declaration: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” When the world feels uncertain, our circumstances don't have to determine the condition of our hearts. Jesus invites us to trust Him, know the Father through Him, and find peace in the promise that He is preparing the way. If your heart has felt anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what's ahead, John 14 is an invitation to remember who Jesus is—and why you can trust Him. What is troubling my heart right now—and what would change if I trusted Jesus with it instead of trying to control the outcome? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Faithful Through Betrayal: Love, Loyalty, and the New Commandment – John 13:18–38 In Episode 146 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue through John 13:18–38, where the final hours before the cross reveal both the beauty of Christ's love and the heartbreak of human failure. Jesus foretells Judas' betrayal, predicts Peter's denial, and gives His disciples a new commandment that will forever define His followers: "Love one another as I have loved you." Together, they explore how Jesus responded to betrayal with compassion, why our identity is rooted in Christ rather than our failures, and what it truly means to love others with the same grace we've received. Even in the face of rejection and abandonment, Jesus remained faithful to His mission—and He invites us to do the same. This episode is a powerful reminder that while people may disappoint us, Jesus never will. His love is stronger than betrayal, His grace is greater than our failures, and His call to love remains at the center of the Christian life. How can I reflect the love of Jesus toward someone who has hurt me, disappointed me, or failed me? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

"You must rest in God's inseparable love."Pastor Eric Zellner continues preaching through the book of Romans.

The Towel and the Basin: The Heart of a Servant – John 13:1–17 In Episode 145 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane begin one of the most intimate and transformative sections of the Gospel of John. In John 13:1–17, Jesus—the King of kings—kneels to wash the feet of His disciples, revealing that true greatness in God's Kingdom is found in humble service. Together, they unpack the significance of this unforgettable moment, exploring what it means to love sacrificially, lead with humility, and serve others with the heart of Christ. Peter's struggle to accept Jesus' act of service also reminds us that following Jesus means learning both to receive His grace and to extend it to others. This episode is an invitation to exchange pride for humility, status for service, and self-centered living for the example Jesus modeled on the night before the cross. As followers of Christ, we're not just called to admire His example—we're called to live it. Who is Jesus inviting me to serve with humility this week, and am I willing to lay down my pride to love like He loved?____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Send us Fan Mail“You're teaching people wrong. You're gonna send them to hell.” That kind of accusation can rattle anyone, especially when it's aimed at the simplest claim of Christianity: we are saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, by faith alone. We respond by slowing down and laying out what Romans actually teaches about justification, sanctification, and the confidence God intends for believers to have. If you've ever felt pressured to “add something” to the cross to make salvation stick, this conversation is a reset. We walk through Romans 4 and the heart of the gospel: Christ takes all our sin and credits us with His perfect righteousness. That's imputed righteousness, and it's the reason assurance is possible. From there, we draw a clean line between justification and sanctification. We don't deny the call to holiness, but we refuse to turn growth, obedience, and good works into the hinge that keeps God from changing His mind about us. We also dig into how people misuse “if” language in Scripture, why careful Bible study matters, and why grace sounds “unbelievable” to human wisdom while self-made religion feels instantly plausible. The second half gets practical: fear of the Lord versus fear-mongering, entering God's rest, Israel's wilderness as a picture of unbelief, and why “losing salvation” collapses the meaning of salvation itself. We close by talking about boundaries, church discipline, and why refusing compromise is not cruelty but care.

Send us Fan MailIf your confidence with God rises and falls with your latest win or failure, you're not alone and you're not crazy, but you may be carrying a view of salvation the gospel never asked you to carry. We dig into the question that sparks endless debate in Christian circles: can you lose your salvation, or is eternal security real? The conversation gets raw fast when a listener challenges the idea of “once saved always saved,” and we respond by slowing down and asking what the good news actually promises.From adoption and “new citizenship” to the sealing work of the Holy Spirit, we argue that salvation is not a fragile contract but a new identity purchased and applied by Christ. We also talk through the warning passages people bring up, why some interpretations create constant anxiety, and how a works-driven framework can sneak back in even when we say we believe in grace.Then we camp in Romans 8:3–4, because Paul's logic is clarifying: the law can command, but it cannot empower, and human flesh cannot complete what only Christ can finish. If sin was condemned in Christ's flesh at Calvary, what sin remains to condemn those who are in Christ now? We also explain why “walking according to the Spirit” is evidence of salvation, not the price of keeping it.Listen, share it with a friend who needs steadier ground, and if this helped you, subscribe and leave a review.

Send us Fan Mail“There is therefore now no condemnation” is either a rock-solid promise or just a comforting slogan. We take Romans 8:1 seriously, slow it down, and ask the question that sits underneath every assurance debate: are we actually “in Christ”? Because if union with Christ is real, then condemnation isn't waiting around the corner for the next failure. We talk about salvation as a transfer of dominion, not a self-improvement program. Scripture's picture is that sin once ruled like a government, but believers have been moved into a new kingdom under grace, with Christ as King. That lens also reshapes how we hear modern claims like “I used to be a Christian” and why perseverance of the saints isn't about human willpower. It's about what Christ accomplishes and what the Holy Spirit applies. We also address the often-misused Romans 8:1 wording about “walking after the Spirit.” We argue it's describing the fruit of being declared free, not the price of staying free. Along the way we connect assurance of salvation to the new covenant promise of forgiven sin, the Spirit as God's seal, and the difference between loving chastisement and crushing condemnation. If you've ever wrestled with fear, guilt, or the message that Christ did “most” of the saving and you must finish the rest, this conversation is for you.

Send us Fan MailThat single word “now” can change how you breathe. Romans 8:1 doesn't offer a motivational boost or a vague hope for later, it delivers a verdict: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” We start by walking straight through the tension of Romans 7, where Paul describes the war inside him, the good he wants to do and the evil that still shows up through the flesh. If Paul names that struggle so plainly, what keeps a believer from collapsing into guilt or trying to earn peace with God through constant self-fixing? We dig into what “no condemnation” actually means in biblical terms: a settled judicial standing, not a feeling and not a reward for spiritual progress. We talk about union with Christ by faith, how Christ's death is counted as our death, how his righteousness becomes the ground of our acceptance, and why accusations from conscience or Satan cannot overturn what God has pronounced. Along the way we challenge works-based salvation thinking, especially the idea that you must add obedience to “solidify” what grace began. We also connect the dots between justification and sanctification without confusing them. Holiness matters, but it's fruit, not payment. The gospel doesn't free us to stay under sin's rule, it frees us from sin's dominion and brings us into new life by the Spirit. We close with honest listener reflections about feelings versus faith and why Romans 8:1 remains one of the most comforting lines a Christian can return to again and again.

Medina Federated ChurchPastor Darren LemmonRomans Series Romans 8:1-4

This week Pastor John Starke preaches from John 7:53-8:11, continuing our sermon series "The Controversial Jesus".

It's a rare one-off weekend for me, not tied into a specific series that we're walking through as a church. So, I took some time to think about what I would preach if I only had one sermon left. In some ways, that's how I hope to preach every week, but I'm glad for the chance to search Scripture and my own heart to discern what God has for us as we open his Word together this Sunday. On Sunday, we turn to Romans 8:1-4 together. Back in 2020 I preached through the book of Romans, mostly to an empty sanctuary while we were stuck doing what we could online. I took 8 weeks in Romans 8. That is how important and jam-packed this single chapter of Scripture is. The core of the good news of the gospel is on beautiful display, applied to our hearts and lives. Romans 7 sets the stage as the Apostle Paul opened his heart about the everyday struggle with sin, guilt, and condemnation. Romans 8 then bursts in as a beam of light piercing the darkness. ------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media⁠Website⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Vimeo⁠⁠------------------------------------------- Download our App⁠⁠Apple App Store⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Google Play Store⁠⁠

Romans 8 is a powerful declaration of freedom, hope, and victory for those who belong to Christ. It begins with the assurance that there is no condemnation for those who are in Jesus and teaches believers to walk according to the Spirit rather than the flesh. Paul explains that we are children of God, adopted into His family, and able to cry, “Abba, Father.” The chapter also acknowledges suffering, yet reminds us that present trials cannot compare with the glory to come. Even when we do not know how to pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us. God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, and nothing—neither hardship, persecution, death, nor spiritual powers—can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8 is among the most famous chapters in all the Bible. Christians have hoped and found freedom in these words for centuries. This glorious chapter begins with a verse often quoted today: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (8:1) But what does that mean for followers of Jesus? In this message, we will define condemnation's biblical meaning, trace its use through Romans, then spend most of our time applying what it means for the believer's life today.Take-Home Message (Romans 8:1): There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.A Biblical Definition of Condemnation: The judicial verdict of condemnation issued against a guilty party. It describes the divine sentence that looms over all humanity because of Adam's fall and our universal sin. It can also be translated as “death sentence.” Tracing Condemnation Through Romans:Condemnation enters through Adam's sin. Condemnation is universal.Condemnation is conquered by Christ's act of righteousness.Condemnation is replaced with Christ's righteousness for the believer.There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.What Does No Condemnation in Christ Jesus Mean for Believers?My eternal condemnation is removed.Evaluation of my life remains.Conviction replaces my condemnation.I am freed to confess my sin.Evangelism and missions matter.I worship Christ Jesus because He freed me from condemnation.

Jesus’ great sacrifice reminds us we can walk in freedom as beloved children of God.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Death Leads to Life: The Way of Jesus – John 12:27–50 In Episode 143 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore the closing section of John 12, where Jesus begins preparing His followers for the reality of the cross. Through His powerful teaching about the grain of wheat that must die to produce life, Jesus reveals a kingdom principle that changes everything: death leads to life. Together, they unpack what it means to surrender our own plans, ambitions, and desires so that God can produce something greater through us. As Jesus calls people out of darkness and into His light, this passage challenges us to consider where we are resisting surrender and where God may be inviting us into deeper trust. This conversation is a reminder that what feels like loss in God's hands often becomes the very place where new life begins. What is God asking me to surrender today so that He can bring greater life through it tomorrow? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Spontaneous short episodes recorded Off The Cuff from the heart and life of Matt Knoll

Paul packs a punch at sin! BAM! And describes how you and me are free from sin (or should be!) in this powerful passage.

"Therefore" is a powerful word, especially when it comes to the Gospel message. Paul spends the first seven chapters of Romans discussing humanity's problem - sin - and then provides hope so desperately needed in chapter 8. Pastor Tag unpacks Romans 8:1-3 and the hope we have IN Christ.

Message by Brandon Yopp

Are you standing flat-footed on the truth of God's Word, or are you offering a fake, watered-down grace to the people you love most?In this Sunday morning message, Coach Shelby tackles the critical differences between salvation (putting our faith in the finished work of the cross) and sanctification (the daily process of being saved and walking out our faith in the Spirit). Looking directly at 2 Thessalonians 2:13 and 1 Corinthians 1:18, we dismantle the passive, "once saved, always saved" delusions and expose the false prophets who try to twist the simple word of God.But the real challenge of this message hits right at home: Where is your line?Paul explicitly commands the church to withdraw from brothers who walk disorderly. Yet, when it comes to our own flesh and blood, many Christians switch to a cowardice compromise. We look at why you'll instantly find your boldness if someone attacks your kids, but you'll sit in dead silence while a family member slanders the ways of God. If your passion doesn't produce a righteous indignation for the Creator of the universe, it's time to check which family you truly belong to. Stop playing games, stop coddling rebellion, and don't be a coward for Christ.Video Chapters:0:00 — Introduction: The Porch Monument & The Armless Enemy0:16 — Salvation vs. Sanctification (2 Thessalonians 2:13)1:04 — Tearing Down False Prophets with Simple Truth1:50 — What Are We Saved From?

It is an engagement—a betrothal to Christ. But just as God granted a certificate of divorce to Israel for her unfaithfulness, a broken commitment through a lack of faith separates you from the wedding.The Process of "Being Saved": 1 Corinthians 1:18 notes that the cross is the power of God to those who are being saved. Sanctification is your daily walk. Just like any job on this earth, there is a standard of criteria to keep you in position. God did His job; now do yours.The "Fake Grace" Perversion: True love means sharing the truth of God's Word. When you withhold the scriptures from family members who hate God because you want to keep the peace, you aren't showing love—you are showing a cowardice compromise that will be confronted at judgment.Righteous Indignation is True Love: If you love your children, you will fight for them even when they are wrong. You are never wrong to fight for God because His Word is always "Yay and Amen." True alignment with the Spirit creates a passion that refuses to sit silently in the presence of rebellion.Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:2 Thessalonians 2:13 — Salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.1 Corinthians 1:18 & Philippians 2:12 — The message of the cross to us who are being saved; working out your salvation.2 Corinthians 11:1-4 — Being betrothed to one husband as a chaste virgin to Christ.Romans 8:1 — No condemnation for those who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.2 Thessalonians 3:6-10 — Command to withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and idle.

A Fragrant Offering: Worship, Surrender, and the Anointing Oil – John 12:1–27 In Episode 142 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 12:1–27, where Mary pours out costly perfume at the feet of Jesus in one of the most beautiful acts of worship found in Scripture. While others questioned her sacrifice, Jesus honored her devotion, revealing a heart fully surrendered to Him. Together, they unpack the significance of the anointing oil, the contrast between worship and criticism, and what it means to offer Jesus our very best. As the chapter unfolds, Jesus begins preparing His followers for the cross, teaching that true life is found through surrender and sacrifice. This conversation invites listeners to consider what they are holding back from God and challenges us to move beyond convenient faith into wholehearted worship. What is Jesus inviting me to pour out at His feet as an act of worship and surrender? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Raised: When Jesus Calls the Dead to Life – John 11:27–57 In Episode 141 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore one of the most powerful miracles in all of Scripture—the raising of Lazarus in John 11:27–57. As grief, doubt, hope, and faith collide, Jesus declares Himself to be “the resurrection and the life” before calling Lazarus from the tomb. Together, they unpack what this miracle reveals about the heart of God, the power of belief, and how Jesus often works in ways that stretch our faith beyond what we can see. This chapter is not only about a man being raised from the dead—it's about a Savior who brings life into every place that feels hopeless, buried, or beyond redemption. If you've ever wondered whether God can still move in what feels impossible, this conversation is a reminder that Jesus specializes in resurrection. What area of my life feels beyond hope—and am I willing to believe that Jesus still brings dead things back to life?____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Elijah's prayer brought the fire of God onto the sacrifice and not on the people. This points to the cross where God's judgment was poured out on Jesus, who became the ultimate sacrifice for us.

There Is Therefore Now No Condemnation Many Christians live under guilt, fear, and the constant pressure of trying to earn God's approval. But Romans 8 declares a powerful truth: there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. In this message, we explore the difference between merely "dating" Jesus and truly being united with Him through salvation. Discover how God's grace transforms obedience from a burden into a joy, why renewing your mind with God's Word is essential, and how Christ has completely delivered believers from wrath and condemnation. If you've struggled with guilt, legalism, fear of failure, or questions about your standing with God, this teaching will encourage you to rest in the finished work of Jesus Christ and walk in the freedom He purchased for you.

The Delay, The Death, and The Resurrection Life - John 11:1-26 In Episode 141 - When Jesus hears that His close friend Lazarus is sick, He doesn't rush to his side—He waits. In this episode, we unpack the tension of John 11:1-26. Why does God sometimes seem slow to answer our pain? We'll look at the heartbreak of Mary and Martha, the raw humanity of Jesus, and the staggering moment He redefines reality by declaring, "I am the resurrection and the life." If you're sitting in a season of waiting or wondering if God has forgotten you, this episode is a powerful reminder that His delays are never denials. Where in your life right now does it feel like Jesus is arriving 'too late'—and how does knowing He delayed on purpose with Lazarus change how you view that waiting room? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Send us Fan MailRomans 8:1–17: No Condemnation, Life in the Spirit, and Adoption as God's Children Ken Corkins and pastor Rocky Ellison discuss Romans 8:1–17 (RSV) on “Pondering the Bible,” focusing on Paul's shift from despair in Romans 7 to assurance that there is “no condemnation” for those in Christ, especially in the end-time judgment. They explain that believers are judged by what Jesus has done, not by the law weakened by the flesh, and emphasize the role of the indwelling Holy Spirit as evidence of belonging to Christ. They interpret “living by the Spirit” as being troubled by sin and pursuing sanctification, and they discuss verses 9–11 as pointing to the Trinity. Using an ancient slavery-and-redemption analogy, they describe Jesus as redeemer and conclude with believers' adoption as God's children and heirs with Christ; they recommend the NLT for clarity and note a week off for Vacation Bible School before finishing Romans 8. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:21 Romans 8 Reading 03:22 No Condemnation Explained 06:04 Judged by Different Rules 08:45 Flesh vs Spirit Mindset 09:18 Do You Have the Spirit 13:02 Trinity in You 16:04 Debtors and Redeemer 20:05 Adoption and Heirs 23:03 Wrap Up and Next WeekNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser  Find us at www.pondergmc.org. Feedback is welcome: PonderMethodist@gmail.com Music performed by the Ponder GMC worship team.Cover Art: Joe WagnerRecorded, edited and mixed by Snikrock 

My Sheep Know My Voice: The Good Shepherd Continued – John 10:22–42 In Episode 140 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue their journey through John 10 as Jesus boldly reveals His identity during the Feast of Dedication.

If you have ever laid awake wondering whether God is angry with you, Romans 8 is where Paul answers. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. After seven chapters proving that sin and death have a grip on every human being alive, Paul announces that God has done what the law could not do. The Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, and that makes you a child of God and an heir with Christ.   The Rev. Sean Kilgo, pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Lawrence, KS, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Romans 8:1–17.  To learn more about Redeemer Lutheran, visit Redeemer-Lawrence.org. Why does doing the right thing sometimes feel impossible? Why do feelings of guilt follow us even when we've been forgiven? These aren't new questions. St. Paul wrote his letter to the Romans for a church he had never visited, and yet he addressed the struggles every Christian knows firsthand: the weight of the law, the persistence of sin, the sufficiency of what God has done in Christ. Romans covers enormous ground. Paul moves from the universal problem of sin through justification by faith, the role of baptism, the war between flesh and spirit, God's faithfulness to Israel, and the shape of life together in the body of Christ. There's a reason the Reformation was born in this letter. Join us on Thy Strong Word as we open up Romans, weekdays at 11am or on-demand anytime, at KFUO.org.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.  Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

Amazing Grace: The Blind Man Who Finally Saw – John 9 In Episode 138 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into John 9, the powerful story of a man born blind who encounters Jesus and receives his sight. But this miracle is about more than physical healing—it's about spiritual awakening, identity, and what it truly means to see. As the healed man grows in boldness and the religious leaders grow in resistance, this chapter reveals the difference between outward religion and genuine transformation. Together, Jamie and Jane unpack how Jesus meets us in brokenness, how suffering is not wasted, and why sometimes the people who think they see clearly can still miss the heart of God. This conversation is an invitation to let Jesus open your eyes—not just to healing, but to who He truly is. Where might Jesus be inviting me to see differently—about Him, myself, or others? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams
