Holy Spirit (390)
  1. Whatever theoretical or conceptual ideas to which we surrender in despair, the Christian faith offers something wholly different. It offers a person.
  2. Paul says he hasn’t yet obtained perfection but is certain he will, but not because of anything he has done.
  3. We still think that if we just teach people to "be good" we are getting them closer to God, which is like saying if only this dead person could be propped up to exercise, he would start moving again.
  4. The gospel is not an if-then proposition for us to achieve by works, but a done-deal completion by Christ alone which we receive by faith. Even as a good tree bears good fruit, a living faith does living things: it confesses, believes and trusts in Christ above all things. Today, Craig and Troy dive into all of these issues and more on "For You Radio."
  5. Jesus does not say to us, “Try really hard, and you will be better.”
  6. We walk to the cross by the faith that God bestows on us, not by our own power, reason, or might.
  7. What can separate you from God's love in Christ Jesus? When bad times hit, are there blessings in it? We bear with the sufferings of this world in anticipation of the glory of God to be revealed. When the doubts of faith arise, to where do we look for comfort and assurance? Join Craig and Troy as they talk about all of these topics and more in Romans 8. Live by grace and not by the law.
  8. After the glory of our flesh has gone the way of wilted grass and faded flowers, and we’ve long forgotten all our efforts at self-justification, the word of the Lord remains.
  9. The distinction between Christ-for-you and Christ-in-you can present a misleading dichotomy.
  10. Romans 7 is a pivotal chapter in the New Testament. The Apostle Paul laments that he keeps doing the sinful things that he hates and the good things that wants to do, he doesn't. Then we discover that the more godly one is, the less one sees oneself to be godly. Funny how that works. Join Craig and Troy as they talk about all of these topics and more.
  11. Romans 6 and into 7: We find that God works salvation in mankind by way of gift and not by works. What does it mean to be set free from sin and being a slave to God? Is that a good thing to be a slave and what does it mean to be set free into slavery? God works salvation in us, it is not our doing for the free gift of God is salvation, for sinners. Join Craig and Troy as they talk about all of these topics and more.
  12. Romans 6 continued... BAPTISM! The Apostle Paul continues to talk about life in Christ and forgiveness and mercy. - Is baptism more than just a symbol or a Christian ritual? - Who is at work in baptism, God or man? - Who chooses whom in salvation? - Do you choose God or has God chosen you? Join Craig and Troy as they talk about all of these topics and more.
