Grace at LAST

114-Many of us are learning more about the dividing line in the old and new covenant and the importance of understanding the audience to whom scripture is written. Understanding this is important and today we talk about it in the context of financial giving. Specifically, tithing. Money can be a real stumbling block and be difficult to understand what we should do. Most of us sincerely want to kno...

113-Understanding the audience is crucial to understanding the Bible. Otherwise we get very confused and life becomes more difficult than it should be. Jesus offers us rest in the new covenant but many Christians are uptight, discouraged, depressed, anxious and afraid. Today on the Grace at LAST Podcast we look at the audience to whom the Bible was written. We also look at the context of many fami...

112-If we do not understand who scripture is talking to, we are going to be confused. We must immediately identify the audience and remain there. Turning the intended audience inward every time will put us under laws and commandments that were never meant for us and bring fear into our lives. There is no better example than the Book of Revelation to confuse the audience and bring fear. The new cov...

111-Is the new heaven and new earth already here? What is the new earth and how can I accept it being here when evil and war is all around us? I thought the new heaven and new earth were supposed to be perfect with no more crying, tears, disease, hate, war or sickness? Obviously those things are all around us so how can you ask me to believe this is the new earth? These are all very valid question...

110-Do you like to solve puzzles? Do you love it when confusion leaves and the picture begins to take focus and your mind becomes clear?   No more struggling to understand the deep mysteries of God especially when it comes to the book of Revelation. Countless hours have been spent by well-meaning people who want to be blessed by the Lord. No child of God does not want the Lord’s blessings in their...

95-The Bible contains a message God wants the world to know. Every original word is inspired by God. However, there have been a lot of changes along the way. How do we know what to believe and trust? Can we trust every word printed in our Bibles today? Those things and more on today's Grace at LAST podcast.

109-We all have weaknesses. There are seasons in life that some experiences bring fear and dread. But what can we do about it? Are we called to just endure and when we are out of this world the struggle will finally be over? Or is there something we can do about it right now and be free today? I think there is, and I have recently had a radical shift in my thinking and Iwant to share it with you....

108-The Book of Revelation has caused more confusion and misunderstanding than any other book in the Bible. But it doesn’t have to be that way. It is plain and clear when we read it in context with the proper audience in mind. Today we talk about Matthew 24 and ask the question “Is Jesus coming back and is it even important for me to know?”  This makes so much sense and I hope and pray God reveals...

107-As we approach the question of prophecy and what has been fulfilled and what is coming, it is important to understand Daniels interpretation of the king’s dream, what will happen in the future and to whom it applies. As we look at Daniel 9, we see that we can understand this prophecy is for Israel, not the whole world. It is also for a period of time and understanding that specific time will e...

106-Today we complete Daniel 2 that sets the stage for understanding the last days. When we understand what God has done, is doing, and going to do, we can walk in harmony with His truth. Even if we have misunderstood many things about God, it is never too late to learn truth. That is so important because deception is evil and truth sets people free. Today we talk about some things that are leadin...

105-Learning and growing is built into us. It is a natural desire to mature and grow in strength and wisdom and the Lord wants to feed that desire. Complacency, boredom, and indifference have no place in our lives when the exciting good news is all around us. Today’s episode we look at the dream in Daniel and lay a foundation for understanding some things in the scriptures we possibly have not con...

104-Wrapping up the last two years of weekly podcasts, today we talk about the most important points to remember and consider when breaking free from the bondage of religion. There are a few concepts when understood, are keys that unlock so much understanding and mystery. Today Corinne talks about what she believes are the main things that will do just that, open doors of understanding of truth th...

103-Understanding God’s heart and intentions stabilizes us in faith. If we are unsure about God and what He is going to do in the future, we are on shaky ground. We can hear and read about building our lives on the rock but in all honesty, we don’t feel stable at all. What is God going to do and where do I fit in? Is God’s anger going to be poured out and if so, on who? Is God just mad in general...

102-Today's topic is likely to include some amazing truths you may have never heard before. God's grace and goodness is even better than we thought! The finished work of Christ is good news and there is no bad news to it. No impending judgment, fear, disaster or destruction we need to be tormented with. Corinne and Connie introduce some things to think about that has been revealed to them...

101-Today Corinne continues her conversation with Connie Miller. The discussion centers around the end times prophecy and fulfillment of the things we read in the book of Revelation. We talk about what some of the prophecies meant when John wrote them, the audience Revelation was written to, and how to fit it into context. You probably are going to hear things you may have never heard before but n...

100-Today we get to know our sister in Christ, Connie Miller. Connie has so much to share with us and we begin by getting to know Connie’s background and how she came to be a writer, speaker and teacher in the body of Christ. As we discuss the grace and goodness of God found in the gospel, we are encouraged, at rest, joyful, and at peace when we understand the undeniable and perfect love God has f...

99-Why do we have a Bible? What was God’s intention when He had men write it down for the world to know? A lot of work, discussions, debates, books, movies, study, research and history has occurred to convey a message to mankind, but why? Why all the work and toil? Do we need to become a scholar in theology? Must we understand Greek and Hebrew, original words, meanings and usage? Is it even possib...

98-It is critical to understand context if we are going to understand what God is saying in the scriptures. If we do not understand context, we are going to be led astray. No way around it, it will happen. We will become confused about the scriptures because we don’t understand how to apply them to our lives and we will become frustrated. But how do we know? How do we know if the scriptures are fo...

97-Recording from Costa Rica we talk about the new. The new you and the new life Christ provided for you and me through the cross and resurrection. I believe too many people are living with an old covenant mindset and they could be living in the new. Even people who understand new covenant truths can live with an old covenant mindset. The new is better. We can renew our minds to understand the tru...

96-The Book of Hebrews is by far one of the greatest books ever written. This book tells us about the new covenant brought in with the blood of Jesus when He forgave sin, forever.  Understanding this book and how God brought an end to the old system to replace it with something new, is so important to understand. Many truths that are life changing are found in the words of this book. However, just...

94-Sometimes we think things are for us today but are acutally in the past. Today we look at traditions we may be in bondage to that we can rid of now. Exciting and liberating, let's grow in grace together.

93-When we consider the Hebrews and the persecution they endured for believing in the new covenant of grace, some of us can relate. Some have been separated, rejected, dismissed and judged when the new covenant of grace is realized. It can hurt, we miss those we spent time with, and being a part of division is no fun for anyone. And yet it happens. We don’t want it to happen, but it does. What do...

92-God has poured out every bit of forgiveness He is going to give when He accepted Christ’s payment for the worlds sin. And yet it is a common teaching and belief we need to ask for more forgiveness when we sin. The book of Hebrews is all about the new and better covenant that is based on Christ’s one time sacrifice that removed sin. Now we can receive eternal life and complete and total forgiven...

It is easy to misunderstand seed, time and harvest. We can believe that the seeds we sow will determine the harvest God brings into our lives. Often, because we are fuzzy where the old covenant ends and the new covenant begins, we can think God is dealing with blessings in the new covenant like He did in the old. He isn’t. We can retire from trying to earn God’s favor and blessings. We have them i...

Many messages we receive about the Bible are about what God is going to do. Many believe better days on earth are coming, so they wait. Others believe life on earth will always be painful so enduring until they get to heaven is best they can do, so they wait. But what about right now? What about the fulfilled prophecy we already possess to live in, not waiting for something better? What if our per...
