Edgar Andrews’ Onefootinglory Podcast

Re-posted from four years ago We consider the theophanies experienced by Abraham in the Old Testament, where God appears and makes promises that shape the future of nations. We see the unchanging nature of God's promises and how they work out in the lives of believers through faith in Christ. We also see how God reveals His divine purposes and answers our prayers, giving us assurance and guidance...

Phil Watson embarks on a journey through the third parable in Luke 15, the Parable of the Prodigal Son, one of the most profound and challenging portions of scripture. In this episode, we delve into the contextual setting and overarching themes of this beloved yet complex story. We examine the joy in heaven over a repentant sinner, the dangers of self-righteousness, and the enduring influence of t...

Biblical beliefs have been codified for 2000 years in countless creeds and confessions but strangely no such body of documents has sought to codify biblical behaviour. Paul felt it necessary to assist the Corinthians in this matter by ending his letter with six instructions (1 Cor. 16;14-16); be watchful, keep the faith, be brave, be strong, obey those who teach you God's Word. We see how these si...

Deeply committed to revisiting Corinth, Paul is unable to keep his promise to do so, forced to remain in Ephesus by great opportunities and equally fierce opposition. We too must acknowledge the sovereign hand of God in redirecting our paths. Concerned about the fragility of the Corinthian church, Paul enlists the help of Timothy who is providentially available to go in his place He thus avoids pe...

How many covenants did God make with mankind? Just three. The Covenant with Abraham,  the Covenant of Sinai, and the New Covenant in the blood of Christ (which includes the eternal covenant of Isaiah 55:3). We show that there are two kinds of covenant, a covenant of promise in which gifts are made without requiring anything in return (like a will) and a covenant of works which is broken if either...

How do you regard giving to the work of God? Many genuine Christians see giving as a way to support their churches and missionary outreach ... a simple stand-alone responsibility which they either embrace or neglect. But it is much more than that and in this episode (1 Cor. 15:50 t0 16:4) Edgar Andrews demonstrates that giving is both an act of worship and an opportunity to abound in the work of t...

Is it enough to receive the gospel joyfully? No, declares the parable of the sower (Matthew 13:3-23), the Bible demands a sterner test. Here we review those symbolised by the hardened soil of the pathway and the shallow soil that deprives the seed of moisture and move on to consider in depth those who profess faith  but live for material wealth and personal comfort rather than Christ.

Paul and Barnabas could have returned from the first missionary journey quickly and easily but such was their concern to establish their converts in the faith that they revisited the cities they had evangelised and where also they had been bitterly persecuted. Turning converts into disciples was more important to them than their personal safety. How important is it to us?

There are right and wrong ways to preach the gospel (Matthew 13). We explore the hidden truths that underlie the well-known parable, asking who is the ultimate sower and who are symbolized by the various types of soil, reflecting on how they symbolize the different receptions to the gospel message. The critical role of the Holy Spirit in effective evangelism is highlighted and the way that externa...

There was no shortage of gods in Paul's day and nothing has changed. The things many people worship today, such as pleasure and money, seem to offer the good life but are dead and gone tomorrow. The only God who lives for ever and offers meaningful life and eternal salvation is the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ.

When is a free gospel also an obligation (to both preacher and hearer?) We reflect on the Apostle Paul's joy in preaching a gospel that is without charge (1 Corinthians 9:18-27). He emphasizes the concept of 'gospel liberty' - the freedom found in spreading the good news without charge, which allows him to distance himself from false apostles and highlights the grace of God. But he proceeds to hig...

Some Christians call their leaders "Your grace" when neither they nor those so addressed have the slightest idea what the Bible means by grace. The apostle Paul puts the record straight in the first nine verses of 1 Corinthians, revealing its necessity, power and glory for us today.

Christians were opposed and persecuted in Paul's day and nothing has changed, but we can learn from Acts 13:44 -14:7 how the apostle defied opposition and was given new audiences for the gospel. He sets us an example to follow today
