Into the Pray

Hello!

Thank you for tracking with these teaching sessions on Into the Pray. We hope they are a blessing.

Today’s verses are 1 Corinthians 15:50-58.

See related reading here.

Do you feel hopeless at times? Do you feel consumed by indignation because of the work of the enemy? Do you feel like your labours are in vain?

“Ask now, and see, can a man bear a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor? Why has every face turned pale?”  (Jeremiah 30:6)

We pray  that you can listen to this session and be filled with overflowing hope by the sheer majesty and power of the Holy Spirit.

Please share this teaching with your mates.

Hello!

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray!

Today we focus on vv35-50 of 1 Corinthians 15 as our teaching series, City of Temples, races to an end in the next few weeks.

Please see a video here about Wim Hoff, the BBC and the demonic. (7:30pm BST, April 24th).

This passage today could easily be covered in three weeks (or more) as the intensity of the passage builds to the end of the chapter. Honestly, this content today would have been more appropriately covered in 7 weeks.

So, today’s session is to give what I see as an structured overview of the passage, while longing to bring something  very “live” within myself that the Lord has been showing me concerning our nakedness, dirtiness and weakness without the clothing salvation of Jesus Christ.

“And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.” (1 Corinthians 6:14)

“But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.” (1 Corinthians 6:17)

Think of the demoniac, think of the new evangelist, think of the Decapolis, think of your street, think of your nearest and dearest and…think of yourself.

Are you one with the Lord?

If so,

 “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.” (Luke 8:39)

Hello!

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray. We hope you're being built up as you listen.

If you have any testimonials, please reach out, make contact across the 'digital divide', and let us know!

As promised, today's episode is our next instalment digging down into the three main eschatological positions that we introduced last time. (You can listen to the overview episode here).

Today, our aim is to reject (and encourage you to also reject) the variant of pre-millennialism which is "dispensational". (Historic pre-millennialism is quite different).

See here for associated reading by Craig Blomberg et al.

What does that mean? Why should it be chucked out? How popular is it across Western evangelicalism? Where is the devil at work? What are the implications?

We will rejoin this conversation next week by contrasting dispensational pre-millenialism with historic pre-millenialism.

Hello!

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

He is Risen!

Today's episode is a preview of the final few sessions in 1 Corinthians as we race towards the conclusion of the book.

“And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power.” (1 Corinthians 6:14)

What does the Demoniac in Luke 8 have to do with our next passage that we'll look at in more depth next Sunday?

CORRECTION: The demoniac didn’t necessarily have 12 demons. The exact number is unclear (not sure why that was in my head) though the significance of “legion”, in Roman terms, may indicate thousands. There were also approximately 2000 pigs (according to Mark).

Hello!

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

This guest testimony episode today is very precious and very powerful: a former homosexual atheist radically saved by the sovereign hand of God, despite an unfaithful local church.

We'll let Aimee do the talking but suffice to say there is nothing as encouraging as listening to a new believer describe the transforming work of our resurrected King Jesus.

When new believers enter the kingdom with a polemic for/against the chaos in the Church, we should all (especially church leaders) sit up, listen and think long and hard.

GOOD FRIDAY premieres (15th April): You can watch this full length conversation via YouTube here at 7:30pm and a flagship testimony film first here at 7:15pm.

Hello!

Thank you for joining us on Into the Pray.

Today's verses in our study series, City of Temples, are 1 Corinthians 15:29-34.

We’ll be finishing our public reading of the gospel of Luke on Good Friday (April 15th, 4pm GMT) via YouTube LIVE.

In 1 Corinthians 4:14, Paul wrote:

“I do not write these things to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children.”

This fatherly Apostle has a different tone in today’s passage but one that is no less loving, (cf. 15:34).

Double-mindedness is a concept used in the philosophy and theology of the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkergaard (1813–1855), meaning insincerity, egoism, or fear of punishment. As referenced in today’s session, the term is used in the book of James, (James 1:8).

PAUL IS PUSHING THE CORINTHIAN CHURCH TO SEE THAT THE MATURITY (perhaps even validity) OF THEIR DISCIPLESHIP DIDN’T HAVE TIME FOR IRRATIONAL DISCONNECTIONS BETWEEN THEIR PRACTICE AND THE CORE DOCTRINES OF APOSTOLIC FAITH.

How does this ring true systemically within the Church today?

How is this applicable to your own life?

Hello!

Thank you for joining us on Into the Pray.

As I explain in the introduction of today's podcast, our conversational focus on eschatology together will resume next week, although I also refer to this within the session on Ukraine.

Today, this is an extended devotional/Bible study from the YouTube video of the same title. You can watch the video here if you prefer.

There is also a playlist of other Bible readings forming here. If you'd like to be a reader, please let us know, and please consider sharing to your networks.

Hello!

Thanks to everyone for listening to Into the Pray.

Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus,
I’ve lost sight of all beside,
So enchained my spirit’s vision,
Gazing on the Crucified.

Today's teaching session is revelling somewhat in the glories we're reading in this 15th chapter of 1 Corinthians:

- The premises of the heretical Corinthians were, in fact, false.
- The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the fact that changes everything for everyone.
- Jesus inaugurated a new race in His resurrection as the "first-fruits" from the dead.
- Do you live in hope of the resurrection...practically?
- Are you as bold as a lion?
- Do you witness the supernatural? 
- Are we prepared to demolish contrary arguments? (If not, perhaps we don't yet have a living hope in the resurrection).
- All men and women are either in Adam or in Christ.
- God will be "all in all" and the eternal glory, beauty and worth of submission is central to it all: a difference in role and function despite utter parity in status and worth.
- Woe to us when we tamper with what God says is good.

Modus Tollens/Ponens info here.

As we continue into this 52nd episode of City of Temples - and the great crescendo of the book - you can listen to a full reading of 1 Corinthians here.

As this teaching series finishes in the next month or so, please look out for the 50+ sessions in study-guide/commentary form towards the summer of 2022.

There is also a playlist of other Bible readings forming here. If you'd like to be a reader, please let us know, and please consider sharing to your networks.

Hello!

Thank you as ever for listening to Into the Pray.

This podcast today is the private episode we recorded for our supporters this month and that we published mid-week. It then occurred to us that this would also be good for the general public to hear, hence posting today.

To compliment these episodes on eschatology, if you would like to hear/be involved in the private podcasts/follow-ups/Q&A, please consider becoming one of our supporters here.
 
We've had this series in mind for ages but haven't had capacity to give the due time to it that we would like.

Today we look at a broad summary of the three eschatological perspectives of hermeneutic, exegesis and interpretation, all of which hinge on Revelation 20 and that we'll look at much more closely in the weeks ahead.

Any questions or testimonies of disruption that others need to hear, please let us - and everyone else - know via Firebrand Notes.
