Sin and the wrath of God are not popular things to talk about, but in order to fully appreciate the good news of salvation, we must understand the bad news. How does man's concept of sin measure up to the Bible's? Why is sin such a problem? And how did Christ's sacrifice take care of the sin problem? We discuss in this episode.

For so long, our Christian culture has treated evangelism in transactional ways: pray a prayer to receive Jesus into your heart, and you become a Christian. But what is the problem with this kind of mindset? And how does it effect our understanding (or misunderstaning) of the gospel and the new birth (regeneration)? These things we will explore in this episode.

In this episode, we talk about how we should view evangelism in light of God's work in regeneration, as well as talk about the role of faith and repentance for the one who hears the message. How does obedience to the command to repent and turn to Christ align with the truth of God's regenerative power "even when we were dead in our trespasses" (Eph. 2:5)?

The question, "How dead is dead?" is ridiculous. Dead is just dead; there are no degrees. When it comes to spiritual death, understanding a person's utter helplessness before Christ is helpful in understanding the miracle of regeneration in Christ. In this episode, we talk about man's inability to respond to God in their spiritual deadness, and the work of God in spiritually raising someone from the dead.

The Bible says that sin had separated us from God. But the good news is that in Christ Jesus we have been reconciled to God. What is reconcilation, and why is it such a glorious truth? We talk about it in this episode.

How did Paul specifically regulate tongues and prophesying in the church? Why did he set down the regulations as they were? Are women to remain absolutely silent in the church? We answer these questions as we finish up 1 Corinthians 14, exploring how the answers to these questions contribute to love and proper order in the church.

When Christians do ministry by their own understanding or for their own exaltation, the results can lead to chaos and confusion. But as we will see in this episode, when ministry is done God's way, the results can be truly amazing. We see how Paul makes this point in 1 Corinthians 14:20-25, when he outlays what can happen when the Corinthian church prophesies for the purpose of edification, instead of doing ministry in their own way.

In this episode, we continue our examination of 1 Corinthians 14, and talk about Paul's exhortation to the church to build others up in love, and why he heavily promotes the gift of prophesying to the Corinthian church.

The Corinthians had a love problem in their congregation, and were putting much of their focus on how to elevate themselves instead of loving others. So how does Paul instruct them in this regard? Having laid forth his words in "the love chapter" (1 Cor. 13), he continues his thoughts by telling the church how love should lead to the desire to build up the church. We begin to explore this in this episode.
