Seminole Students Podcast

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever wondered how a believer is supposed to stay consistent in their walk with the Lord? Have you ever found this to be challenging? Me too! The Holy Spirit has guided the Apostle Paul to speak on this matter and we would be wise to read what he has to say.  So grab your Bible and tune in to find out more! 

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever noticed how some things are timeless and some things change every few years? Well, salvation is one of those timeless things. It's a common misconception that Old Testament believers were saved by following the law but everything changed in the New Testament. The Holy Spirit uses Paul to argue that's not true. The way you enter into salvation has always bee...

Send us Fan Mail In Galatians 3, Paul begins appealing to the experience of the Galatians as it pertains to salvation. Have you ever fallen into the "Jesus+works" trap? If so or if you want to prevent it, check out the questions that Paul poses in the text!  Grab your Bible and tune in to find out more! 

Send us Fan Mail This is it, the fight for knowing which is the true salvation! In one corner, you've got law, boasting to be the way to righteousness that no man can follow entirely. In the other corner, faith, which trusts in the righteousness of another because perfect obedience is unattainable. The showdown of a lifetime... Grab your Bible and tune in for more! 

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever sinned and gotten called out for it? That stinks doesn't it? Pastor Luke has absolutely been in that situation and can confirm that it's not fun. Christians are to represent this perfect, consistent, and true gospel well however, so we must seek to live life for Christ to the best of our abilities. So grab your Bible and tune in for more! 

Send us Fan Mail That's right, we are changing the name of the podcast. This is in an effort to allow more listeners to join in on our ministry by listening from afar and giving it a fresh new look. This podcast is still first and foremost designed to help Seminole Baptist Students follow Jesus and serve Him wholeheartedly and then others are welcome to come along and do the same! 

Send us Fan Mail While this is a challenging passage for application (not for theology, but rather style of writing), it is God's word and authoritative. If the gospel Paul is preaching is true and straight from God, then it must be consistent. If it is consistent, then it's applicable to all people. So how should we approach this consistent gospel? Grab your Bible and tune in to find ou...

Send us Fan Mail Why are there so many "versions of the gospel" in the world? Because the gospel is extremely valuable. When something is valuable, many try and make counterfeits (fake versions). The Apostle Paul encountered this in the church of Galatia and sadly, we see it constantly in our world and on social media. What do we do? How do we spot a fake?  Grab your Bible and tune in to...

Send us Fan Mail When you hear news or advice, do you ever consider the source? What I mean by that is, do you think about the character and reliability of the person who's telling you? I hope so, because that's incredibly important in determining if the information itself is trustworthy. In this sermon, we'll be considering the source of the true gospel: is it from man or from God?...

Send us Fan Mail In our Image of God series, we've talked about Jesus being the perfect example for image bearers, which is awesome! But how do we get there? When we trust in Jesus, what all does that entail? Glad you asked!  Grab your Bible and tune in to find out more! 

Send us Fan Mail In our Image of God series, we've been delivered some pretty bad news. Sin was brought into the world and unfortunately it has only multiplied since its introduction. Image bearers now have no hope... at least not by their own power! God sent His Son Jesus to be God in the flesh to save humanity. Grab your Bible and tune in to find out more! 

Send us Fan Mail In the previous sermon, we looked at who Jesus is as God. He is God in the flesh, which means there's also a man nature in Jesus. He's actually truly/fully man, truly/fully God. So for this message, we're going to explore Jesus's man nature, which gives imperfect image bearers the PERFECT example to follow.  So grab your Bible and tune in for more!

Send us Fan Mail As we continue in Genesis and begin branching out, we're looking at why murder is so egregious to God. Remember, image bearers have tremendous value and murder disregards all of that! Not just physical murder either, but also spiritual murder, which Jesus talks about in the Sermon on the Mount. In this message, we'll talk about both physical murder and spiritual murder t...

Send us Fan Mail Last week, I mentioned how difficult it was to carry out all of what being an image bearer entails. As you were hearing "Look in the Mirror," you might have noticed that many of the image bearing gifts were really hard to do! Why? Because of what happened in Genesis 3... Grab your Bible and tune in to find out more! 

Send us Fan Mail When you look in the mirror, who do you see? Do you see someone who has no value? Do you see someone who has some value if you do enough right? Or do you see someone who has intrinsic value because you are an image bearer of God?  Grab your Bible and tune in to find out more! 

Send us Fan Mail In Genesis 1, God made EVERYTHING good. Scripture tells us that. But He made one thing that stands above the rest. One of His creations stood taller, was considered the creme of the crop, the crown jewel that displays His glory better than anything else. Got any guesses?  Grab your Bible and tune in to find out! 

Send us Fan Mail The Israelites were in the wilderness for three days and already they were encountering trouble. The Egyptians were coming for them and hot on their heels. But God didn't bring them this far just to turn back now!!  Grab your Bible and tune in to find out more! 

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever started something new in your life? Whether it's a new school, new job, new house? If you're of dating age, maybe a new relationship? As exciting as these things might be, there's also a real sense of fear. That's how the Israelites felt as they were being shoved out of Egypt! They would have been excited, ready to start something new, but also te...

Send us Fan Mail Every seasoned Christian has been there: you finish your devotion time and you feel nothing. You feel the same way you did before you opened your Bible. We hate to admit this to anybody, but it bothers us that we feel this way. I want you to know that what you're feeling is common and I hope to offer some solutions in this episode. So tune in to find out more! 

Send us Fan Mail If you want to locate the sermon, it's posted privately since one of our awesome students preached the sermon. I want to protect my students' identities so this sermon will only be available to family, church members, and close personal friends of the student. If you are interested in accessing it, send an email to Pastor Luke at: luke@seminolebaptist.org and let him kno...

Send us Fan Mail Pastor Luke wasn't present while our students were taught on this passage so featured is his commentary that was available to his students and adult leaders. Feel free to open your Bible to this passage and follow along while you listen! 

Send us Fan Mail Once more, Pastor Luke wasn't present to preach this so he provided his commentary and sermon structure for his leaders and students. He has recorded it for your benefit, so grab your Bible, follow along, and be encouraged! 

Send us Fan Mail Pharaoh had been locked in a battle against Yahweh God (one that he would surely lose) but God is going to deliver the final blow. This final plague will be the worst one. What we see in these passages is that God blesses His people in the midst of the wicked's judgment. Grab your Bible and tune in for more! 

Send us Fan Mail I don't know about you, but I love my comfort zone. It's well....comfy! The problem with it is that I won't ever grow, change, or increase my dependence on the Lord there, so God will thrust me from comfort. He did the same for the Israelites, though their situation was far from comfortable.  Grab your Bible and tune in for more! 

Send us Fan Mail Every once in awhile, we just need a good reset. Whether it's a reset of your room or just starting over on a project, it's occasionally necessary to keep focused. When we encounter discouraging obstacles, a reset is necessary. For Moses, God reset him after his obstacles with Pharaoh and the Israelites. You might need a spiritual reset in your walk with God after encoun...
