Okay, now that I have your attention with the title, today we will bring clarity to Philippians 2:12-13 and what does God mean when he wants the believer to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling". gracenuggetspodcast@gmail.com  

Today we look at Philippians 2:5-8 which presents us with the glorious truth of Jesus Christ, and His laying aside His external glory (not His deity) to become a bondservant in perfect submission to the Father's will and to be humbled on the cross as the once for all payment for our sins. gracenuggetspodcast@gmail.com    

As we continue are study on Philippians and the truth of living as bondservants of Jesus Christ, we look at Philippians 2:1-4 and the need for the believer to be leaning on the comfort and tenderness of Jesus Christ and displaying that to other believers. gracenuggetspodcast@gmail.com

Today, we start a new series on the parables of Jesus as presented in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. The goal is to have a clear understanding of them and to be able to answer the following: Why did Jesus speak in parables? What is the purpose of the parables? And in what way, if any, do they relate to us as believers of the Church? gracenuggetspodcast@gmail.com
