477: To the Very End // Spiritual Lessons from WW2 84 (Eric Ludy)

 

This is the eighty-fourth installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW2. In this episode he discusses the strange and intoxicating effect of VE Day (Victory in Europe) on the Allies. It was like a sleeping pill. They defeated Hitler, but May 6th, 1945 was not the time to lay down the weapons, curl up in a ball, and take a long nap. Japan was still threatening in the Pacific and a new menace (previously an Ally), known as the Soviet Union, was quickly becoming a hostile element in Eastern Europe. How often we stop short of complete victory because we are satisfied with a partial victory. 

476: An Unfinished Portrait // Spiritual Lessons from WW2 83 (Eric Ludy)

 

This is the eighty-third installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW2. In this episode he explores the strange and history-altering month of April 1945. Three critical world leaders will die in this one month all within three weeks of each other. But there is one death amongst the three that will shock the world more than all the others — the death of President Franklin Roosevelt.  His death in every sense, proved to be "an unfinished portrait”. Eric takes this unique piece of history and ties it into our spiritual lives today, demonstrating how each of our lives can finish strong instead of fade with a premature passing.   

Rather than live in worry, fear, and anxiety, Paul commands Christians to pray about everything—but what does that practically look like and how can we live it out in our lives? In this message on the Christian mindset, Nathan Johnson examines Philippians 4:6 and talks about prayer, supplication, and making requests to God, and in turn discovers that everything in our lives should drive us toward Jesus Christ.

474: The Seven Generals // Spiritual Lessons from WW2 82 (Eric Ludy)

 

This is the eighty-second installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW2. In this episode he parallels the massive Allied front of the British and Americans as they crossed over into Germany in March of 1945 with the massive potential front of God’s Church in the year 2020.  For the Body of Christ to function as an effective military operation, it must coordinate its members, and they must begin to move in unity with one another. It must function in a manner similar to General Montgomery’s “Seven General” system in WW2.

Series: Ephesians Bible Study
Study: 55 – Abolishing the Old Law and Establishing the New (Ephesians 2:15)

What is the role of the Old Testament Law in our lives and what did Jesus do with it? In this expositional sermon, Nathan Johnson examines Paul’s statement in Ephesians 2:15 and discusses the concept that Jesus not only fulfilled but abolished the Old Law in order to create something entirely new.

472: Caught in the Middle // Spiritual Lessons from WW2 81 (Eric Ludy)

 

This is the eighty-first installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW2. In this stirring episode he explores the pains and sufferings of the Polish people in and through the six terrible years of WW2. First, they suffered under Hitler, and then they suffered under Stalin. Eric parallels this topic of the suffering Poles with that of the plight of the unborn in America today. They represent a people group "caught in the middle" — with their pending extermination determined to be the most convenient and wise course for all involved. The question is: what should the Church do about this travesty?

Study: 80: The White Parachute

 

This is the eightieth installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW2. In this episode he looks at the Siege of Bastogne in late December of 1944 through the eyes of a medic thrown into the mêlée. An amazing picture of Christ-like sacrifice, love and care comes out of this dark tale, and we are reminded afresh that there is no greater love than that one lays down his life for his friend.
