Awaiting Christ

You may have seen people pray before they eat. But why do they do this? I'll talk to you about that today.

Last week we talked about how we are released from the Law of the Old Testament but why would that be necessary? We are going to talk about that today.

Did Jesus talk about hell? Is it an actual place where God sends people for eternity? Is He unloving for doing so? I'll talk about that today.

So, Christians will often say that they have been saved by grace and not the law. But what about those who say we have to follow the law of the Old Testament to be seen as righteous before God? I'll talk to you about that today.

Often times, people are perplexed why many Christians advocate so heavily for guns when Jesus taught us to "turn the other cheek" in regard to violence. Why do Christians often advocate for gun ownership in the United States of America? I'll chat about that with you today.

Romans 13 is what many Christians will point to in obeying governmental authority. But then, was the American Revolution (that we just celebrated) Biblical? Was it a rebellion against God? We'll talk about that today.

Ever wonder if the Bible is true and real? Is it all just made up? I'll give you one reason today to trust that it is real and true.

The apostle Paul said that we're all either slaves of sin or slaves to righteousness.  But what does that mean?  I'll talk about that today.

Are we ever allowed to call someone out on false teaching or a lifestyle of sin Biblically?  Should we leave all judgment to God and love people only by supporting everything they do?  I'll address that today.

The apostle Paul has made the argument that no amount of rule/law keeping can save a person. The only way a person can live a life pleasing to God is walking in the Spirit. But, how do we do that? That's what I'll talk to you about today.

Death has reigned since the time of Adam but Jesus brings about life that spread to many as well. 

We've all gone through hard times and we may wonder what we did wrong or why God hates us.  Often times, we haven't done anything wrong and God loves us (see also John 3:16).  So, why then do we suffer?  Especially as Christians?  I'll address that today.

You may have heard of this topic before and we're going to attempt to tackle this heavy theological topic.  The Trinity...what is it and is it backed up by Scripture?  We'll talk more about that today.

Are you a person who doesn't know if you would stand blameless in the presence of God after death? Even as a Christian? You can live without the fear of facing God in death right now. I want to tell you how today.

Do you feel like God is mad at you or that He hates you? How do we, or any of us, have peace with God? I want to talk to you about that today.

Ever feel like that you're not worthy to be saved? Maybe you've done too many bad things? I want you to listen to what I have to say in response to you today.

Abraham was considered righteous before God because of his faith.  Likewise, the same is true of believers who confess Jesus as Lord and follow after Him.

Many pastors tell their congregation to invite people to church so they can hear the Gospel. I'd challenge you to simply share the Gospel with them directly. We never know when death will come for the lost, so it is better to share as we can. I'm going to give you a method today on how to do that.

Abraham was the forefather of the Jewish people.  How does his faith affect the rest of us who would be justified by faith before God?

Many out there believe in Christian Supersessionalism, or Replacement Theology, whereby they believe God has done away with the nation of Israel and the Jewish people.  They believe the promises given to the Jewish people now belong to the Church and God has done away with them forever.  I am going to combat that notion today.

This is a little bit longer of a tidbit than normal but we dive in going over a myriad of Scriptures as to who Satan is and if we need to be afraid of him.

We've gone over a lot of bad news up to this point and it hasn't looked too positive. But Paul starts getting into the good news (i.e. the Gospel) at the end of Romans 3.  The good news is only so good because the bad news was so bad.

I am going to attempt the insane proposition of explaining this topic briefly within a tidbit.  We'll cover some Scriptures on both sides of the aisle, briefly explain each position and then I'll give you my thoughts on this topic that has been debated for centuries. 

The apostle Paul dashes our hope that we can somehow attain righteousness in of ourselves.  He is giving us the utterly bad news before he can give us the good news.

We often talk and/or hear about the end times so much these days, yet they don't happen and another day goes by.  Were we wrong about literal interpretation?  Were the Amillenials right?  We'll briefly talk about this today.
