Redemption Calvary Podcast

What is happening in our world? And why did it turn up the noise to 11? It's not as simple as introducing some earplugs into your routine. One of the best ways to combat the constant adverse drone of this world and the negativity it hurls is to seek refuge in the word of God, the Bible. Today, Pastor Cody urges us, 'transformation happens through information.' Precisely the information and priceless instructions of the Bible. As we get to know God's word, it changes how we think and renews our minds.

Some say the air we breathe daily is a miracle of God. Or think about the boundless free will you have in this life. An all-powerful, almighty God still gives us the power of choice. Listen in as Pastor Cody shares a personal story of the mercy of God that radically transformed his life for eternity. Perhaps you have an impactful story of redemption, but now you're searching for the will of God in this adventure. Today, discover the biblical formula for partnering your own life with the steps of God.

We're our own worst enemy! Our self-doubt can sometimes keep us from God's best things in store for us. Maybe you had a clear path of what God was doing in your life, but somehow, you veered off-course. If you haven't heard it in a while – be encouraged today that there is nothing too broken that God can't repair. He is more significant than your biggest problem. Don't let your doubt or your pride stop you from letting God take over and transform the shattered pieces into a stunning masterpiece!

Let's take a faith check. When's the last time God used you to do good works: encourage a coworker, reach someone for Jesus, or even extend compassion at the right time to someone? God is constantly doing miraculous and awe-inspiring results across this earth. Yet, how often is he doing it through you? Today, Pastor Cody continues in Romans chapter 11 and reemphasizes the urging of Paul that God desires to reconcile all people of different ethnicities and backgrounds to Him - Jews and Gentiles alike.

Eternity with God is going to be a glorious experience! However, your one-way ticket to the pearly gates isn't just gained through a checklist of being good, following traffic signs, and never telling a lie. Good works, as they are known, are a product of God's salvation in our lives. You can't earn God's salvation. Today, Pastor Cody begins his study into Romans chapter 11 as Paul continues to instruct and inspire the early church to realize God's plan all along is

The Bible is pretty hard on hypocrites! And for a good reason too! In today’s message, Pastor Cody speaks about how people who teach one thing; and practice another are simply not easily trusted! Think about it! Would you take financial advice from a gambler? Relationship advice from a cheater? You could learn from their mistakes. But you wouldn’t follow their guidance if they continued to make those terrible choices unapologetically, right? It’s the same way with spreading the Gospel!

Pretty often; people trick themselves into thinking that God already has, or is going to save them because of their works. But, in today’s message, Pastor Cody sets the record straight and reminds us that we had already broken the law before we were capable of comprehending what it was! So, we have absolutely no hope of being redeemed through our own actions. It's only through the grace of God that we’re given a chance at redemption through Jesus, who died for our continuous failures.

Sometimes, people can wonder whether or not God is fair and just and if some people can be evil. Wouldn’t it be God’s fault if He made them that way? Not so! In today’s message, Pastor Cody answers this question by bringing up Moses and the Pharaoh. God may have shown Moses favor in his fight to free his people, but he also made the Pharaoh be birthed into his position as a ruler. The Pharaoh turned that power against God’s own people by his own choice, so God made that choice permanent!

In today’s message, Pastor Cody speaks about the people of Israel. And how; just because they were born in Israel. Didn’t automatically make them saved, and they’re only “God’s people” in the name instead of action. He compares it to Christianity in America today. How being born American, and saying the Pledge doesn’t make you Christian, but instead; it’s the relationship you build with Christ! It is only ever your faith that brings you to Salvation with God. Not work, and especially not empty titles.

Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life – a life that we could never live in our own strength. And then, He died a sacrificial death so that we can inherit eternal life, even though we don’t deserve it. Today, Pastor Cody draws our attention to this beautiful truth. He reminds us not only of Jesus’ strength but also of His selfless love. Jesus didn’t have to help us at all. But He chose. While Jesus demonstrated what it means to live a holy life, He also died for us, recognizing that we were unable to live up to His holiness.
