Grace at LAST

18-Today we look at 1 John and contrast chapter 1 and chapter 2. We see the context so we can properly interpret what God is saying to us as His children. What is He saying to those that are deceived and being invited to believe in what Jesus did by coming in the flesh and dying for our sin? After we have looked at this message, put it into its proper context and audience, what should I take personal? What is for me and what is not? Let’s not become unnecessarily burdened with formulas thinking that is what God is requiring. Truth sets us free so let’s look at truth together today and enjoy our freedom in Christ.

Scripture:

1 John 1:7-10

1 John 2:1

1 John 2:14

1 John 2:21

Hebrews 9:22

Hebrews 3:1

17-Today we look at this preoccupation Christians have with confessing their sins for the purpose of forgiveness from God. We primarily looked at 1 John 1:9 to see if it is for us as believers. We also cover the first chapter of the book of 1 John to see if this was intended for us to follow. Are we as Christians required to keep ourselves forgiven? Is that even possible? What do I do when I sin? After all, I want God to know that I am sorry. These questions and more on the Grace at LAST podcast.

16-Today we look at law and grace and ask ourselves if we can’t just have some of both.? Can we mix the two and still be living in truth or do I negate what Christ has done when I add my works to His?  Am I saved by grace and then I live by my obedience? These questions and more on our Grace at LAST podcast.

15-Today we look at how to experience the rest available to those who believe. We ask some important questions like, am all I’m doing, really required of me? How can God work all things out for my good? What is really the answer to the pain and loneliness I am feeling? God wants to show us how to rest in the finished work of Christ and today we are going to talk about the “how to” of that. We are so glad you joined us.

14-On this episode we look at Law and Grace and the difference between the two covenants. We looked at who the Law was given to and why. Gentiles were not at Mt. Sinai when God gave Israel the Law and He never intended you and I to make it into something to complete our holiness. These are the truths that will set us free and our introduction into God’s promised land, the It is Finished work of Jesus. May God’s rest be your reality.

13-In today’s episode we contrast Law and Grace and ask why it is important? We asked if it is reasonable for us to give the Law a place of importance in our lives? What does Scripture say and what should we know? Who are the Pharisees of today and what and why are they trying to tell us what to think? These questions and more on the Grace at LAST podcast.

12-In this episode, we look at part 4 of our 4-part series, Nothing to Prove. Living in the rest of God is the way of the new covenant. It is not a covenant of works, but of rest. When we live with nothing to prove to anyone, we can be genuine. Nothing to prove allows us freedom to make choices despite what others may think. If God is leading us, let no man persuade us otherwise. These are the topics we will discuss on today’s Grace at LAST podcast.

11-In this episode we look at part 3 of our 4-part series, Nothing to Hide. Do we need to feel ashamed and guilty because we are not doing better at life?  Do we need to join in the hypocrisy of others because we cannot be ourselves, faults, and all? Where does this type of behavior come from and how can I stand against being a phony? We will answer questions like this and more on today’s Grace at LAST podcast. We are so glad you joined us.

10-Today we look at part 2 of our four-part series, Nothing to Lose.  Can we lose favor with God and are we losing rewards if we don’t serve and sacrifice like other Christians? Can I lose crowns or do we all get the same?  How much is God really asking of us or is He the One that provides everything for us? We will answer these questions and more on today’s Grace at LAST podcast.

9-Today in Episode 9 we are going to look at rewards and ask if there is something I can gain with God? If so, how? 2 Corinthians 9:6 says to sow generously and then I can be sure of a big harvest from God. Or is that really what it says? What is it that God really wants from me? How can I turn from living a life of waiting for God to do something, to living in the reality of what He has already done? How can I learn to be content? We will answer those questions and more on today’s Grace at LAST podcast.
