Evangel

Why would a person like me be concerned about getting the Gospel to other people? Why not just let others believe what they want to believe? This episode begins to provide an answer to that question through personal context. What the Gospel has done for others, it can do for you. My life is living proof of this fact.

One of the greatest tragedies today is death by suicide. This topic, often taboo in modern society, is one about which the Bible speaks. In this episode, we meet a man who was poised and ready to take his own life, but he never went through with it. The basis of his decision was faulty information. The information he needed was how to be saved. His life was spared, and his soul was saved.

Bryan grew up in a home that had little time for the things of God or the Gospel. As he grew into manhood, he got into methamphetamine, to which he was addicted for 10 years. After trying many methods of breaking his addiction without success, he trusted Christ one day in church. Since accepting the Gospel, God has broken the power of addiction in Bryan's life. This is his story.

One of the most common misconceptions about the Gospel is what it does and does not teach about good works. This episode compares the misconceptions to the Bible and shows just where good works fit into God's plan for mankind.

One of the greatest mysteries of all time is the fact that Jesus of Nazareth was completely man while also being completely God. While this assertion is difficult to understand, is it what the Bible says? Many aspects of the story of Jesus come into focus once we understand the important truth about who Jesus was.

In first of a short series regarding objections to the Gospel, we discuss the Bible itself and opposition to it. The Bible is a unique book among the books of the world, and there are solid reasons for trusting what it has to say. We examine false dichotomies that have been invented to try to destroy the Bible and end with reasons why anyone can trust what it has to say.

Just because Jesus died for everyone doesn't mean that everyone is saved. Four Bible words outline a response that needs to come from every person with respect to the Gospel: repent, receive, believe, and call. Though not necessarily synonyms of each other, these words do describe the event of embracing the Gospel and being saved by God.

Hell has become a common filler word in English today. Yet the Bible speaks of it as a real place to which people go after death. Separating fact from fiction on the subject of hell has eternal consequences. In this episode, Paul examines what Jesus said regarding hell along with the words of the Apostle John. No one has to go to this terrible place.
