Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 73 In episode 68, I gave a snapshot of the mysterious bride in Scripture, known as the Church. In today's episode, I share a recent sermon where I dive into the topic in depth and examine what it means to be the Bride of Christ, not merely from the New Testament, but all throughout Scripture, starting in Genesis. The profound depth of this topic is itself a deep...

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 72 God indwelling man is not something we aspire to or hope for it is the reality of every Christian. To be a Christian means that the life of Jesus indwells your life via the Holy Spirit. Anything less is not Christian.

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 67 Christianity can be summarized in one simple word: LIFE. Of course, this refers to Jesus being our life for He is THE Way, THE Truth, and THE Life. It is not that He has some life, He is life itself. Interestingly, Jesus says that He has come to give life abundant a superlative which conveys something to the highest degree and quality. In this episode, I give...

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 66 We often declare we know certain truths but they have yet to change our lives. In this episode, I want to give you a test to see if you genuinely know Calvary Love.

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 63 In this third and final part of my sermon examining the Christophany of the Holy Land, we discuss the death of Christ and see how God wove a beautiful Christophany throughout the entirety of Scripture, ultimately pointing to the death of Jesus on the cross.

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 62 A Christophany is a picture of Jesus seen throughout the Bible specifically the Old Testament. And even the land itself, God's Promise Land, points to Jesus Christ and reveals our desperation and our need for dependency upon Him. In this second episode looking at the Christophany from the Holy Land, we walk through the geography of Israel and discuss why God c...

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 61 A Christophany is a picture of Jesus seen throughout the Bible specifically the Old Testament. Though we quickly understand that prophecy in the Bible points to Jesus, so too do people, events, geography all types and shadows pointing to the fulfillment and fullness in Christ Jesus. In this first part of a three-part series, we listen to one of my recent sermo...

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 60 The story of Martha and Mary in Scripture give a great contrast between distraction and devotion. But the question remains how devoted, how obsessed, how in love should we be with Jesus? The answer is: extravagantly. In this episode, we discuss that Christianity is not a half-hearted pursuit of God, it is an all-out, completely obsessed, fully given over to se...

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 59 Far too many Christians are distracted with "good things" and thereby sacrificing intimacy and devotion to Jesus. In this episode, we examine the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10 and how their relationship to Jesus gives us a picture of how we are to relate to Jesus either completely devoted to Him and growing in intimacy or becoming distracted with anythin...

And the last type of prayer mentioned may surprise you, but I would argue it may be the highest form of...
