This third reading from the book "Free in Christ" covers Galatians chapters 2 and 3, where Paul denounces perversions of the gospel and those who peddle them. These "different gospel", he.warns the Galatians, are not gospels at all but pose the danger of apostasy. This episode, therefore, emphasizes the uniqueness and divine revelation of the gospel, the call in the grace of Christ and the need to...

Based on old readings from the book "Free in Christ", now re-edited and with AI-enhanced audio tracks, we begin a new short series on Paul's Epistle to the Galatians. In this podcast we discover the foundations of the Epistle by showing that Paul's gospel is a life-changing message of God's grace to helpless sinners, containing seven key "ingredients"; grace, peace, Christ-centeredness, atonement...

Chapter 10 of "What is Man? Adam, alien or ape?" examines whether reality exists independently of the mind, using a house-and-realtor analogy to explore anti-realist views and George Berkeley's theistic solution that reality persists in the mind of God. It argues that science presupposes an objective universe and considers how Berkeley’s ideas support that presupposition. The chapter then shifts t...

Following Paul’s final journey to Rome, after months on Malta, several island "hops", and warm hospitality from believers at Puteoli, Paul arrives in Rome itself (Acts 28:11–22). Detained with few restrictions under house arrest, he is free to receive visitors and explain his mission to Rome’s Jewish leaders, thus encouraging local believers and evangelize enqirers. Perhaps fearing a further assas...

Are we wasting our time if we preach the gospel to Christians? Could that time be better spent going out into the streets to preach to non believers? If you answer "yes" then most churches wouldn't meet on Sundays since their congregations are already saved! No, we should preach the good news to believers and Paul tells us why in 1 Corintthians 15:1-9, where he warns us against false or "nominal"...

churches in tribulation with the heavenly view of churches as golden lampstands and their leaders as stars in Christ’s right hand. Highlighting the church’s responsibility to shine out the gospel, we see the value Christ places on local congregations, and the need to honor and support leaders while relying on Christ to sustain and purify his church.

This episode explores John 15 on the night before Jesus' crucifixion, explaining Jesus as the true vine and teaching what it means for disciples to abide in him. From five clear viewpoints — Authentic believers, Branches of Jesus, Incisions in pruning, Dependence on Christ, and Enduring spiritual rewards — the message shows how trials and "pruning" unfruitful things from our lives produce lasting,...

At first sight this passage is pure narrative and contains few lessons for today, but looking closer we discover how the LORD was in total control as he led Paul safely through storm and shipwreck to his desired destination, Caesar's court in Rome. In the same way, the same God watches over his people today as we face the storms and hazards of life in today's uncertain world.

Our previous podcast on 1 Corinthians 13:7 considered the first two characteristics of love, namely that love 'bears all things' and 'believes all things'. Here we complete the verse by explaining why and how 'Love hopes all things' and 'Love endures all things.' We distinguish two kinds of hope—'happy' hope (hoping that things will turn out well) and godly hope (future certainty grounded in God’s...

In the previous episode of this short series on 1 Corinthians 13, we considered six things that biblical love can never do. We now turn to four things that, according to the Apostle Paul, love always does do, namely, it "bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things and edures all things" (v.7).
