Set Your Mind on the Things of the Spirit | Life in the Spirit, pt. 6  

One of the keys to life in the Spirit is what we allow to fill and occupy our minds. The apostle Paul writes, "For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God." (Romans 8:5-8).

The Lord's Supper and the Last Supper 

Christians of all kinds regularly celebrate the Lord's Supper or Communion or the Eucharist. Jesus instituted this commemorative meal during what has come to be known as the Last Supper, a Passover meal He celebrated with his disciples the night before his crucifixion. In this episode of the Bible in Life podcast, we look at the original setting and historical background to the Lord's Supper which deepens its meaning and our experience of it.

Praying in the Spirit | Life in the Spirit, pt. 5 

How does the Holy Spirit help us pray? What does it mean to pray in the Spirit? 

Ephesians 6:18

"With every prayer and request, pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be alert with all perseverance and every request for all the saints"

Romans 8:26-27

 Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

Be Filled with the Spirit | Life in the Spirit, pt. 4

Ephesians 5:15-18 says, "15 So then, be careful how you walk, not as unwise people but as wise, 16 making the most of your time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, in which there is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit" 

As we continue our series on "Life in the Spirit," in this episode of the Bible in Life podcast we reflect on what it means to be "filled with the Spirit."

How to Walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16) | Life in the Spirit, pt. 3

Galatians 5:16 says, "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh." This is the basic behavioral command for Christians. We can obey all other commands only insofar as we are obeying this command, because the Spirit's presence and power is what enables the transformation necessary to become the kind of person who can obey the other commands. 

So how do we walk by the Spirit? 

Tune in to this episode of the Bible in Life podcast for some reflections on how to walk by the Spirit.

Why the Book of Revelation Matters

Let's be honest... The book of Revelation is weird. It's hard. There are things that make you go "huh?" And many Christians (perhaps most) just avoid it because of that. 

But Revelation is incredibly powerful! 

And though we may struggle to figure all of it out, the overall message and purpose is quite clear. In this episode of the Bible in Life podcast we explore who Revelation is for and what it is seeking to accomplish. In short, we answer the question, Why does Revelation matter?
