Why Did Jesus Have to Die? In this conversation, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford discuss the complexities of Easter, the significance of Jesus' death, and the implications of sin and sacrifice within the Christian faith. They reflect on the pressures of Easter services, the meaning behind Jesus' crucifixion, and the role of the tabernacle and temple in understanding the relationship between humanity and God. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing the deeper meanings behind traditional beliefs and practices. Further, Mike and Tim explore the profound theological implications of Jesus' incarnation, death, and the significance of the tabernacle in relation to eternal life. They discuss how Jesus' death was not just a human experience but a necessary act to bridge the gap between humanity and God, emphasizing the importance of understanding the humanity of Jesus, especially in the context of the Garden of Gethsemane. The conversation also delves into the mystery of scripture and the human experience, highlighting the need for a nuanced understanding of biblical texts.

Send us a textFrom the depths of human disobedience to the heights of divine grace, Romans 5:19 unveils a profound spiritual reality: "For as by one man's disobedience, many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." This powerful scripture launches us into an exploration of sin's origins and God's extraordinary response.Sin entered our world through a single act of disobedience in the Garden of Eden, lodging itself deep within humanity's heart. Like a foreign object unknowingly trapped in one's throat, sin caused damage without our understanding its source. Here's where God's mercy shines brilliantly—rather than abandoning us to our condition, He provided the law as a spiritual x-ray, revealing what was causing our suffering. This diagnosis wasn't punishment but grace, showing us what needed healing.Yet God's love didn't stop at diagnosis. In the ultimate act of redemption, Jesus Christ became sin for us, breaking death's hold through His sacrifice. What began with one man's disobedience found its remedy in one man's perfect obedience. This singular act of love offers us freedom from sin's chains and the opportunity to spend eternity with our Creator. Whether you're hearing this message for the first time or have walked with Jesus for years, the invitation remains: embrace this salvation for yourself and share it with others. The good news is too powerful to keep to ourselves—Jesus is alive, and He has rescued us from sin!Support the show

  Pastor Andy had a plan to preach from Galatians, but events during the week led him to focus on Ephesians Chapter 2. He dives deep into the meaning of being 'dead' in sin and 'alive' in Christ. He differentiates between mercy (not getting what you deserve) and grace (getting what you don't deserve) and urges people to reflect on their spiritual state: Are they dead in sin or alive in Christ?    00:00 Introduction and Opening Remarks 03:35 Exploring Ephesians Chapter 2 04:45 Understanding Sin and Trespass 13:18 God's Mercy and Grace 30:32 Call to Action and Closing Prayer

Listen to the Message by Pastor Hudson From Sunday, February 2, 2025 Solitary & Safe: How God Helps the Alone and Disregarded   Empowered for Life: Introduction to the 21-Day Devotional Summary Welcome to Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute #156! This is a special edition as we prepare for a 21-day devotional on Principles of Empowerment, beginning February 7th. The Power of God's Word Psalm 119:11 – "Your word have I hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against you." God's Word is a source of strength, guidance, and empowerment. In an age of overwhelming information, discerning God's voice is crucial (John 10:27). Jesus, as the Word of God, strengthens us when His Word abides in us. Understanding Sin and the Need for Direction Sin means "to miss the mark" (from archery). Without God's direction, we lack aim and purpose. True empowerment comes through aligning our lives with God's truth. Introducing the 21-Day Devotional Begins February 7th – short daily readings with scripture and reflection questions. Day 1 Theme: "Free Indeed – The Beginning of Empowerment" (John 8:31-32). Key thought: “In Christ, I am free indeed and free forever.” Reflection question: "What have I substituted for the true freedom that only Christ can give?" True freedom is a treasured inheritance through Christ. How to Participate Access the devotional at: NewCovenant.org BryanHudson.com Subscribe to receive daily email lessons at 5:30 AM. Each lesson includes a reflection question and personal insights. Final Encouragement Empowerment = Receiving the ability to do what you couldn't do before. Being in a community of faith provides strength and support. Listen to the recent sermon "Solitary and Safe" about the importance of spiritual family. Stay encouraged, stay strong, and let God's Word empower you! God bless!

In this episode of 'Spiritual Brain Surgery,' Dr. Lee Warren and his co-host Tata discuss the importance of maintaining faith during hard times, and a surprising lesson on how God loves us and how he can't stand it when we suffer because of sin from Judges 10:16. Set against the serene backdrop of a wintery Sunday afternoon by the North Platte River, the conversation delves into the Bible, highlighting lessons from the book of Judges and Ruth. They explore how the Israelites repeatedly turned to idols despite God's persistent guidance and how this reflects our modern struggles with faith and sin. The discussion underscores the need for self-examination, reliance on God, and the power of redemption through Jesus. The episode also includes shout-outs to listeners Lori and Rodney, sharing their challenges and seeking divine guidance amidst grief and loss. Dr. Warren wraps up by emphasizing the transformative power of changing one's mind to change one's life.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Spiritual Brain Surgery00:48 A Chilly Sunday Afternoon01:36 Listener Shoutout and Encouragement02:16 Discussing the Book of Ruth and Judges03:14 The Israelites' Rebellion and Idolatry07:13 Lessons from the Old Testament10:31 Understanding Sin and God's Nature12:35 God's Mercy and Human Weakness18:02 Living to Please God19:03 Understanding God's Nature19:31 The Role of Jesus as Our Redeemer21:19 The Power of Calling Out to God25:09 The Importance of Prayer and Surrender30:02 Dealing with Loss and Seeking Answers35:41 Final Reflections and EncouragementResources and Links:Our sponsor for this episode is TImeline: Visit timeline.com, and use the discount code leewarren for 10% off your first order of MitoPure!My book, 2021 ECPA Memoir/Biography of the Year, I've Seen the End of YouBe sure to check out my latest book, Hope Is the First Dose!Sign up for my weekly Self-Brain Surgery Newsletter here!

Often, we think of sin as doing “really bad things,” but the Bible describes sin much differently. Understanding the Bible's true definition of sin relieves us of shame and leads to seeing others with less judgment, more love and grace.   ► WHAT'S NEXT  ✘ Guests: https://www.blackrock.org/guests/ ✘ New to Faith: https://www.blackrock.org/faith/  ✘ Giving: https://onrealm.org/blackrock/give/now  ✘ Events & Info: https://www.blackrock.org/info/  ✘ Facebook:   /blackrockchurch    ✘ Instagram: @blackrockchurch

Her work, including her book 'Fully Alive', explores the intersections of faith, culture, and ethics through a deeply personal lens.    In a world that often trivializes love and deep connections, how can we cultivate a life of wisdom, virtue, and transcendence amidst our finite existence and growing polarization?   Join John Vervaeke and Elizabeth Oldfield in a profound dialogue that explores these critical themes of human existence, drawing from Platonic to Christian thought and emphasizing the transformative power of dialogical reasoning, cognitive flexibility, and awe. Elizabeth Oldfield shares insights from her book 'Fully Alive,' an Augustinian blend of autobiographical confession and psycho-spiritual reflection that highlights relational living and the transformative power of love. The conversation addresses the trivialization of love in modern culture and advocates for a deeper understanding while navigating the complexities of polarization in politics, the comparison between psychedelic and spiritual experiences, and the intrinsic value of community and wisdom traditions in achieving a virtuous life.

It's the lack of reverence for who He is. This makes sin exceedingly hateful. If we think about it from this standpoint, even the smallest of transgressions would be something we don't want to be guilty of. So why, then, do we go on sinning after being saved? Why can't we stop sinning if all our sins have been forgiven in Christ? How can we clear our consciences and rid ourselves of the pain and anguish of our sins? What are we to do with sins we remember from our past? These questions and more will be answered in this collected episode of episodes of the Straight Truth Podcast. Join Dr. Richard Caldwell and Dr. Josh Philpot as they aim to ground us in biblical truths and encourage us to live our lives for God's glory, honor, and utter worthiness. The very moment a person turns from their sin, by faith, in repentance to Jesus Christ, all sins, past, present, and future, are forgiven. But as Christians, we must know that this is not the end of our sin, for we still live in a body of flesh that is not yet perfected. Yet, as believers, we want to serve Christ and live righteous lives, and we've been given the capacity to do that. Those made new by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit will live new lives. New life in Christ will include the ongoing confession of sin. Anything less is a contradiction of who we are in Christ. Where there is no confession of sin, we are not forgiven and we are not a believer (1 John 1:9). But as believers who go on confessing our sins, we aren't now seeking God's forgiveness in a judicial sen...

In this episode, Dr. Caldwell and Dr. Philpot discuss the reality of sin in the lives of Christians, even after they are forgiven. They explore concepts like -besetting sins,- -mortifying sin,- and the importance of confession for maintaining fellowship with God. The episode also addresses lingering guilt from past sins and the concept of the unforgivable sin, offering reassurance and hope to believers who may struggle with these issues.

Explore the significance of Leviticus, a book sometimes seen as outdated, in our new podcast episode. Join us, Ryan and Brian, as we delve into one of the Bible's most challenging texts, demonstrating its ongoing importance and connection to contemporary faith. We directly address the view that Leviticus lacks relevance after Jesus and illustrate why its intricate laws are essential for understanding divine teachings.Leviticus is a key part of the Pentateuch that connects the narratives of Exodus and Numbers through its detailed laws and ceremonies. We discuss the historical and cultural background of this ancient scripture, noting the differences between Egyptian customs and the unique identity of the Israelites shaped by Leviticus. Blending storytelling with theological analysis, we affirm the traditional authorship of Moses and recreate the atmosphere of the Exodus era. Our discussion explores complex topics such as sin, atonement, and sacrifice, and how they relate to Christ's ultimate sacrifice.Conclude with a look at the reasons for Leviticus's burnt offerings and the concept of ritual purity, which pave the way for the New Testament's depiction of Jesus. We consider the tangible and emotional aspects of these ceremonies and their importance in conveying the concept of substitutionary atonement. We highlight how the sacrificial system included everyone, ensuring that people of all social ranks could engage in the collective path to reconciliation with God. Tune in as we investigate the lasting messages of Leviticus, equipping you to better appreciate the significance of Jesus' sacrifice.(00:12) Understanding the Book of LeviticusLeviticus is often overlooked, but we argue for its value as God's Word and offer guidance for reading its arcane rituals.(07:58) Understanding the Book of LeviticusLeviticus is a central book in the Pentateuch, revealing God's character through laws and narratives, set during the Exodus period.(16:11) Interpreting Leviticus in Its Cultural ContextEgyptian culture's influence on Israelites, social imaginary, Leviticus laws, setting apart from past and future encounters.(23:08) Understanding Sin and LeviticusLeviticus is a vital part of God's Word, discussing societal vs. divine perspectives on sin and the nature of sin from human and God's viewpoints.(35:09) Understanding the Purpose of Burnt OfferingsAncient Israelite worship involved costly burnt offerings of unblemished male animals to maintain a right standing with God. Jesus is referenced as a sacrifice, and laying hands on the offering symbolizes substitutionary atonement.(48:35) Significance of Sacrifices in LeviticusNature's sacrifices taught about substitutionary atonement and inclusivity, preparing believers for Christ's ultimate sacrifice.LinksSupport Ryan and Brian's Bible BistroPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebiblebistroFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thebiblebistroInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebiblebistro/Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3H7qRmgSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3I7Gw6AWebsite: https://www.thebiblebistro.comRyan and Brian's Bible Bistro is a podcast

Summary This conversation between Tim Whitaker and Deconstruction Girl revolves around the topic of deconstruction within Christianity. They discuss the misunderstandings and misconceptions surrounding deconstruction, the validity of deconstructing one's faith, the issue of gatekeeping and labeling, the straw man argument often used against deconstruction, the concept of atonement and sacrifice, the importance of deconstruction, and the futility of arguing with those who are not open to understanding different perspectives. The conversation explores the process of deconstructing faith and responding to questions about it. It delves into the examination of beliefs and the challenges of holding on to faith. The concept of sin and its loaded meaning is discussed, along with the need to expand its definition. The complexity of defining sin is explored, considering its cultural and historical contexts. The conversation also highlights the importance of exposure and normalization of different perspectives. Finally, the response to criticism and the experience of celebrity status are addressed. Takeaways Deconstruction is often misunderstood and misrepresented within Christianity. Deconstructing one's faith is a valid and personal journey that should be respected. Gatekeeping and labeling can be harmful and dismissive of individual experiences. The straw man argument is frequently used to undermine the validity of deconstruction. The concept of atonement and sacrifice in Christianity can be complex and diverse. Deconstruction plays an important role in personal growth and understanding one's faith. Arguing with those who are not open to different perspectives can be futile and unproductive. Deconstruction of faith involves examining beliefs and questioning their validity. The concept of sin is loaded and its definition can vary depending on cultural and historical contexts. Expanding the definition of sin allows for a more nuanced understanding of its impact. Exposure to different perspectives can lead to a reevaluation of beliefs and a more inclusive worldview.

Pastor walks his children through Westminster Shorter Catechism question 14-especially explaining how sin is a violation of the applications to ourselves of the implications of Who God is. --Q14. What is sin-- Sin is any want of conformity unto, or transgression of, the law of God.

Summary In this conversation, Derek Kubilus discusses the concept of sin as the refusal to love and the importance of understanding it in a broader context. He also explores the difference between purgatory and purgation, emphasizing the idea of refinement and growth in the afterlife. Derek shares his perspective on the salvation of those who have done harm and the essence of the divine in every person. He challenges the notion of eternal damnation and highlights the need to respect the pain of others while recognizing the depth of God's love. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the cognitive dissonance of eternal damnation. Takeaways Sin is the refusal to love, to include, and to make space for others. Purgatory is a Catholic concept of a holding period until one goes to heaven or hell, while purgation refers to the process of refinement and growth in the afterlife. The salvation of those who have done harm challenges our understanding of God's love, but it is a reminder that everyone carries the essence of the divine. Respecting the pain of others and acknowledging the depth of God's love can help navigate difficult theological questions. The idea of eternal damnation can create cognitive dissonance and contradict the concept of a loving God.

Understanding Sin and Forgiveness Introduction: Do you remember the sins of your past? Were some of them really “bad” sins? Do those sins concern you the most of all your sins? Are you acutely aware of the consequences of those sins, especially consequences that you cannot remedy.

How do you perceive sin, salvation and obedience? Do you know how sin affects you as a human? Tune into this message to find out Phil's take on it all.

Sin and evil are not the sort of things we can be indifferent about. When we experience evil in our lives, we immediately recognize that something has to be done about it. With the sin and evil we see in our world and in ourselves, we are right to raise the question, "What has God done about it?" Andy, Steve, and Wes sit down together to hash out the implications of sin in this week's episode of the AC Podcast.

Sin is something of a dirty word in our culture. In the minds of many, it perhaps conjures up images of Bible-thumping Christians harassing young people for holding hands. But what exactly is sin? There is richness to this biblical concept that comes in many layers. In this two-part series on sin, Andy, Steve, and Wes sat down to discuss the layers and how they connect to other biblical concepts.

The Man & The Mission Talk 2

The Foundation for our being, character and life is the PERSON of CHRIST Himself (1Cor 3:11, Isa 28:16, Col 2:6-7). Christ is not just the Foundation for our eternal salvation, but for our very being and everyday living (Ro 1:16-17). "The RIGHTEOUSNESS of God is revealed from (saving) FAITH to (living) FAITH; as it is written: “(1) The JUST (by FAITH) shall (2) LIVE by FAITH” (v17). (1) First we are JUSTIFIED (made righteous) by FAITH. When we trust in Christ, His perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS is IMPUTED to us (put to our account) - a legal transaction based on the Great Exchange accomplished on the Cross. We stand before God on the basis of His perfect righteousness, so God accepts us, just as He accepts Jesus. Christ and His imputed righteousness is our forever, firm foundation for our eternal salvation, and our life today, and it ensures our eternal life. On this legal basis God instantly gave us the New Birth. The imparted righteousness of Christ was applied to our spirit. Now we are justified by faith, we are now to LIVE by FAITH in Christ, our living Foundation, looking to Him and leaning on Him as our Source of life, rather than trusting in our own soul. As we trust in His Life in us, He sanctifies us by His Spirit, and we receive His imparted righteousness (grace) into our souls, inspiring and empowering us to do His will (Phil 2:13). The more we submit to Him and trust in Him as our Foundation, the more He fills us with His love and empowers us with His grace. Thus He is our Foundation for our everyday life. Living by faith starts by submitting to the Lordship of Christ and opening our hearts to receive His love-gift of His Spirit and His Word to us. Then by depending on the Spirit of grace, we must put His Word into practice (Matthew 7:24-25). The first 2 Foundational Doctrines of Christ are (1) REPENTANCE from dead works and (2) FAITH toward God (Heb 6:1-2). They describe the necessary attitude of our hearts, to live our lives on Christ, living from the supply of His grace, trusting in Him as our base of operation. We must REPENT from the old way of operating from our independent soul-life, trusting in self, which only produces dead works, and instead embrace the new way of trusting in Christ as our life, which produces the fruit of the Spirit (Matt 10:39, Rom 7:6, John 6:63). The new way is living under grace, by faith in the life of Christ within us. He is the only One who can save us from the penalty, power and presence of sin. In the old way of living under law, we make laws and principles our basis for living, and try to live them out from our own soul. Sin is the opposite of holiness and righteousness. Living under righteousness brings life, but living under sin brings death. God designed us to be holy to God, filled with His Spirit of righteousness, empowering us to live a life of righteousness by trusting Him as our Source, and thereby producing good works. The essence of sin is rejecting this way of depending on God, and instead going our own way, living out from self as the centre. Our own soul-life, rather than God's life, becomes our base of operation (Isaiah 53:6). The problem of sin is on 3 dimensions. *Level 1 of SIN is the STATE of SIN (imputed sin), which is due to Adam's original sin, the representative head of the human race. When he sinned, we all sinned in Adam. This is IMPUTED SIN (Adam's sin was put to our account). All mankind are born legally in a State of Sin, simply because of being in Adam. As a result spiritual and physical death came on all men (Romans 5:12-21). *Level 2 of SIN is the SIN-NATURE or IMPARTED SIN. When Adam sinned (1) his spirit died (disconnected from God's life), (2) he received a sin-nature in his flesh (imparted sin), replacing his spirit as the controlling power over his soul, causing his soul to operate in pride, independently from God (the independent soul-life). The sin-nature is called sin (1Jn 1:8, Ro 6:6,7,11,12,14), sin in the flesh (Ro 8:3), the body of sin (Ro 6:6). We inherited a sin-nature in our flesh from Adam through physical birth (John 3:6).We were born slaves to sin (the sin-nature), and cannot set ourselves free. *Level 3 of SIN is PERSONAL SINS. We commit sins when we yield to the sin-nature in our flesh (John 8:34). Through the Cross, Christ provided the answer for all 3 dimensions of SIN. Daniel 9:24 predicts Christ will: "(1) finish the TRANSGRESSION (Adam's original sin), (2) make an end of SINS (forgiveness for personal sins), (3) make atonement for INIQUITY (our sin-nature).” (1) Jesus dealt with our STATE of SIN in Adam, by coming as the righteous 2nd Adam, offering Himself to us as our new Head. When we receive Him as our Lord, God takes us out of Adam and puts us into Christ, and His perfect righteousness is imputed to us as a free-gift. Instead of the imputed sin of Adam, we now have the imputed righteousness of Christ, and on that basis God declares us forgiven and righteous (justified by faith).

75 | Rich Villodas on Understanding Sin as Failure to Love, Healing from Trauma in Healthy Community, Discovering Contemplative Prayer, Experiencing Forgiveness as Freedom, and How Encountering Jesus Heals Fractured Perspectives Toward God

This week we look at Paul D. Molnar's recent article 'What difference does one's view of God make in understanding sin and salvation? Some suggestions from Karl Barth' in Scottish Journal of Theology 75 (2022), pp. 55-67. Molnar's article is a highly critical engagement with certain modern theologies that argue for a reconceptualisation of God. Molnar draws on Barth to argue forcefully that unless the source of our knowledge of God is the revelation of his grace in Jesus Christ, we will inevitably construct an idol, and so mischaracterise both sin and salvation. The discussion considers the method of Molnar's article, and potential objections to its framing.
