In this podcast we ask the question, "Why Christianity?" Why should I be a Christian? The answer given today is the conclusion to the thought we began with last week. Christianity makes sense of me emotionally. 

In this podcast we explore how Christianity makes sense of our emotions and basic needs in life. 

In this episode we explore our need for a champion. Death is the great equalizer of all people and Scripture says that the wages of sin is death (Rom 6:23). We have earned death but Jesus comes into the world as our champion. He goes before us into death to destroy death. He liberates us from the bondage of fear. 

In John 14 we learn that we have two advocates. We have Jesus Christ as our advocate. Jesus speaks for our behalf but the Holy Spirit speaks to our hearts. The Spirit directs you to Christ and reminds you of who you are in Christ. 

In this episode we explore the complex issue of evil, pain and suffering through the lens of Jesus' baptism and temptation in the wilderness. 

In today's episode we look at the resurrection account of John in John chapter 20. Mary Magdalene is confronted with the challenge of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We discuss the difficulty of faith, the rationality of faith, and how the gospel of grace breaks down barriers to belief. 

This week we focus on the sign that Jesus performed at Cana of Galilee when He turned water to wine. In this episode we see Jesus as Lord over the feast. We also realize that we are in need of purification that only the cross of Jesus can give us. 

In John 11 we see Jesus encounter two sisters that are in deep grief. Jesus reveals a bit of His glory and in this story we see the fact that He is the God-man. 

In Episode 2 of Christ and Culture we explore Jesus meeting an insider and an outsider. In John 3 we meet Nicodemus and he had everything you could want. He had power, respect, and was a religious insider. In John 4 we meet the Samaritan woman at the well and she was an outsider in every way possible. She was a heretic, a Samaritan and was a sinner. Both Nicodemus and the Woman at the Well both looked for satisfaction in the wrong place. Jesus comes to tell us and them that the answers we seek and the satisfaction that we crave must come from Him. 

In this episode we will explore the problems of skepticism in the person of Nathaniel found in John chapter 1. We examine the problem of skepticism, the need for ultimate purpose, the person that reveals that purpose, and the paradigm shift that Jesus calls us to in our lives.
