In what sense was Jesus "sanctified?" In what way did He need to be? What does it mean to say He "laid aside  some of His heavenly privileges? Jeff explains in today's broadcast.

Did you know that Jesus prayed for you on the night before he was crucified? And in that prayer, packed with rich truths and deep theology, He asks the Father to send His disciples into the world in the same way that He had been sent by the Father. But what does that mean? Get ready to hear about your Divine Commission!

Chances are you haven't used the word 'sanctified' in a conversation recently. And yet God uses it repeatedly throughout the New Testament. So what exactly did Jesus mean when He prayed to the Father that you would be "sanctified in the truth?" Why is sanctification so critical to our faith? What part does the Trinity play in this process? And how does it practically happen in our daily lives? 

There's a lot of talk today about UFO's and alien beings. And while there is plenty of confusion, misinformation, and conspiracy theories regarding this sci-fi subject, you may be surprised to discover that the Bible actually does talk about aliens...only the alien is YOU. As believers in Jesus, we are portrayed as "aliens and strangers" on planet earth. But what does that really mean? In this epi...

With a massive invasion of terrorists into Israel, a state of war has been declared. But what can we make of all this? How long will this war last? How bad will it get? Is it prophetic in any way? What can we know for sure from Scripture? And how can we pray biblically during these volatile and confusing times? Here's some guidance from Jeff.

Our enemy is strong, cunning, deceptive, and powerful. Jesus called him the "ruler of this world." Paul labelled him as the "god of this world," evidenced by the fact that his fingerprints are everywhere in culture and humanity. But he also exercises great influence in the church and in believers' lives. So how do we understand his dominion, and how can we guard ourselves against him? Jeff explain...

As believers, we are obviously "in" this world, but like our Lord, we are not "of" it. So, since that's true, how do we navigate the tension of living in a wicked culture and in the midst of perilous, prophetic times? How can we adopt a healthy mindset regarding our role and involvement with culture and non-Christians. Jeff explains from John 17. 

In the final night before His crucifixion, Jesus poured out His heart to the Father. In that prayer, He expresses the accomplishment of having given the Father's Word to his disciples. But what exactly did that mean? What "Word" did He give? How much of it did they get? And what effect did it have on their lives? In this episode, Jeff explains the critical importance of the Bible for present-day d...

In His high priestly prayer, Jesus makes a bold claim before the Father, and in doing so reveals to us a great deal about who He is, His mission, and His eternal objective.

What does it mean to be "kept" by Jesus? And why are His disciples His highest priority? Jesus' prayer in John 17 gives us the answers in this week's podcast.

In the "Real" Lord's Prayer, Jesus reveals His heart concerning both His relationship to the Father and His mission to the disciples. What did he want them to believe? What did He want them to know? And did He succeed in His mission?

What if you could know exactly what Jesus was thinking and feeling on the night before He was crucified? What was on His mind? WHO was on His mind? That's what John 17 uncovers for us. In His prayer to the Father, Jesus not only pours out His heart, but also reveals a wealth of theology and truth. 

Many who claim to believe in the Bible also say it cannot be trusted when it comes to science. That, they say, should be left to the "experts" (aka secular scientists). But is that fair to God? If God is perfect and His Bible inerrant, wouldn't we expect Him to also be accurate when speaking about scientific facts? And is it possible that the Bible has more to say about science than we originally...

Did God mean for us to take the Genesis narrative literally? Did He really create the world in 6, 24-hour days? Or is it merely symbolic. And what does all this have to do with your faith, and the rest of the Bible? What are the implications? Just how important is this issue??

For over a century, mankind has been fed a steady diet of fake news regarding the origins of humankind. But what may surprise you is just how much of their evolutionary narrative is simply made up lies. In this podcast, Jeff exposes the lies of evolutionary "evidence," while at the same time providing biblical reasons why the oxymoronic "Theistic Evolution" is also a grand deception. In other word...

The Bible is under attack from all sides, and even from within the Church itself. But among the most critical battlegrounds in this war is the very first book of Scripture - Genesis. Can the creation account be trusted? Or is it simply a "metaphorical narrative?" At stake here is the Christian faith itself. For if the Bible cannot be trusted, how can we be sure anything we read in its pages is tru...

As the world darkens and evil strengthens, the temptation is to weaken and give in and give up in defeat. But desperate days demand devoted disciples. Now is not the time to hold back or shrink back. Jesus is looking for those who will follow Him with a whole heart and not slouch and slumber their way to the finish line. And in John 6, He shows us how.

What does it look like to be "desperate for God?" To so be between the proverbial "rock and a hard place" that unless God shows up, it's "game over" for you? This week's message explores a marginalized woman's one chance to connect with Jesus on behalf of her daughter. It's a story that may move you to tears, but will for sure inspire you towards exercising great faith in God!

As America unapologetically celebrates "Pride Month," Jeff takes a deep dive into this sin of pride, what God says about it, where it ultimately leads, and how we can overcome it.

Storms come. Winds blow. Waves crash against your boat. But Jesus is asleep. Or at least it seems He is. So what do we do when God seems silent in our storm? How do we navigate the winds and the waves in life that God just won't calm? And how should we respond when He does?

Have you ever contemplated what it takes to truly satisfy God and the requirements of His righteousness? And what does this truth tell us about who God is and how we should worship Him?

When contemplating God's infinite ability, sometimes our minds can become disoriented in the thin air of the "theological stratosphere." In this episode, Jeff breaks down some lofty truths, helping us understand how practical God's great sovereignty really is! 

You only thought God's sovereignty blew your mind in the last episode. Now, straight from Scripture, Jeff unpacks the deep truths regarding how God reigns over, and even uses, the sin of man for His own glory! Yes, He is THAT sovereign! 

What does it mean to say that God is "sovereign?" What does the Bible say about his sovereignty? Does this doctrine have any practical implications and benefits for my life today? You're about to find out in today's Vintage Truth Podcast!

God wants you to know something wonderful about who He is, what He knows, how much He knows, and how that knowledge is both a comfort and a game-changer for your life right now.
