A study of one of my favorite chapters in all of Scripture, Romans 8. Listen in to find out why I like it so much!

A study of Romans 6

In the seventh chapter of Romans Paul gives us a strange example that makes an important point. 

When asked about Romans 5, Martin Luther said "In the whole Bible, there is hardly another chapter which can equal this triumphant text.” 

Listen and find out why he felt that way. 

Break out the cake and candle as the No Shortage of Questions Podcast celebrates its first birthday!

Also, listen in as Nick and Andy discuss Acts 6. Today's questions include:

- Will Andy root for the Vikings this weekend, if it means that Nick beats him at fantasy football?

- How should a pastor spend their time? 

- What influence should the culture have on the church?

- Should the opinion of the crowd shape the vision of the church?

Thanks for listening!

In today's episode Nick and Andy look at one of the strangest stories in the New Testament, the story of Ananias and Sapphira, who both died after giving less to the church than they said they would. 

Did God kill them, or did they die from fear? 
What impact did it have on the church? 
Should pastors use this story today to talk about stewardship? 

Other questions from today's episode:

- What is a bigger struggle, greed or pride?

- Should success be how we determine if something is of God?

Also, find out what made them ask "were the early Christians courageous or crazy?"

In today's episode Nick and Andy talk about the opposition the early church faced and wonder what would happen to the church in America if it received more opposition?

They also answer the following questions:
- What do we do when God's desires are opposed to those who have a place of authority?
- Should we pray for more courage, and what would a more courageous church look like?
- Is generosity linked to grace?
- Why is Andy so cold?

Andy even says something somewhat profound: "All of life points is to our need for Christ."

In other news, they might the name of their podcast to "Somewhat Profound" because everything they say is somewhat profound. Some things are obviously more profound than others.

Listen in as Nick and Andy look at Acts 3. Today's questions include:

- Is repentance a call to guilt, or a call to hope?

- How do we find refreshment in the church?

- How do we respond to good news?

And what makes Andy say, "I agree with all that, but..."

Listen in as Nick and Andy discuss one of the most important chapters in all of Scripture -- the story of Pentecost and a vision of the early church.  

Today's questions include:

- How do we know we have the Holy Spirit, and what does it mean that the Spirit is "poured out?"

- Does today's church have anything in common with the early church?

- What does Warren Buffet have to do with a prophecy from Joel?

- What does it mean to repent? 

And so much more!

Nick and Andy are back, and beginning a deep dive into the book of Acts. In today's episode they unpack chapter 1, and ask the following questions:

- What proof do we have that Jesus is alive?

- In what ways can waiting be a benefit to congregations and communities? 

- What is the primary task of the church?

- Should the church go back to casting lots when decisions need to be made?
