Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 214

Over the years, I've noticed that most students of the Bible are missing one key aspect in their reading and study.

In this episode, Nathan Johnson talks about the importance of context and gives some of his favorite examples of taking Bible verses out of context – and why we need to make sure we read and study in biblical context.

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 213

King David’s life is a picture of what it means to walk in the holiness and righteousness of God … and what it looks like to not.

1 Kings 15:5 tells us that David always did what was right in the eyes of God, except one time, with the manner of Uriah the Hittite.

While David was always living in the life and perspective of God, there was one time (just one time!) when he turned within himself and decided what was “right” in his own eyes—deciding to live in sin and depravity rather than by the righteous life of God Almighty.

In this episode, we continue our discussion on holiness and righteousness by examining the downfall (sin) of David and how even a single sin can lead to the downfall of many … and what it means as believers to embrace and live by the holiness of Jesus Christ.

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 211

We are called to be holy as God is holy. But how?!

Many Christians have a wrong perspective of holiness—thinking it is a legalistic list of dos and don'ts. Yet holiness is not a checklist nor is it attempting to live like Christ in our own strength and ability.

There is only one secret to become holy: embracing the One (God) Who alone is holy. And when you embrace God, you find that He makes you holy.

In this episode, Nathan talks about what holiness is and isn't … and then explains the "the secret to holiness" – ie: the only way we can become holy and walk in holiness.

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 210

The first week of each month, we examine one of God’s Names to learn more about Who He is and how Jesus reveals and showcases this incredible attribute to us in the flesh (for He is God in the flesh).

In today's study, we dive into God's Name "Jehovah Mekoddishkem," meaning "The LORD Who Sanctifies You."

Though in our culture "holiness" has received a bad rap – often seen in the negative or as a list of legalistic dos and don'ts – holiness in the Bible is always a positive thing for it reflects the nature of God.

God is holy and invites you to share in His holiness.

God's Name Jehovah Mekoddishkem is a beautiful reminder that we, in and of ourselves, cannot be holy – but He not only calls us to be holy, He also makes it possible, for He is the One who sanctifies us.

The first week of each month, we examine one of God’s Names to learn more about Who He is and how Jesus reveals and showcases this incredible attribute to us in the flesh (for He is God in the flesh).

In today's study we examine God's Name "Jehovah Rapha": the God Who Heals.

God is a healer and delights in healing—physically, emotionally, and most importantly, spiritually. This amazing attribute finds it ways throughout all of Scripture, climaxing in Jesus Christ … and is still true today.

Discover this important aspect of God's nature, for we all need our "bitter waters" healed and made sweet.

Giving should be the normal lifestyle of a Christian.
