Part of God being holy is that He is unchanging in every situation. This means He must be who He is always. When humanity fell into sin, God responded with all of His attributes: His Grace, justice, mercy, love, faithfulness and more. In this teaching, we learn about two of God’s attributes and how He shows them in response to the sin of humans against Him. 

To say something is good is to say there is something bad. Therefore, the good news of Jesus is only good in light of the bad news. In this episode we begin to set context for why the gospel of Jesus is good news. And to do that, we look at the biblical portrait of the human condition to understand the good things Jesus has done.

Welcome to the Grace Chapel Young Adults podcast. Kicking off part 2 of the Gospel series, we lay the groundwork for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To understand the gospel we have to know who God is, who we are, and who Jesus is. In this episode Caleb introduces some of the fundamental characteristics of God and humans, and how the person of Jesus plays such an important role in the restoration of relationship between the two. Here’s the episode. 

This week we had a live question and response time with Caleb and our special guest and friend, Zach Fischer. In the spirit of bringing clarity to the gospel, we wanted to make space for our community to ask questions they had about the Kingdom of Heaven and give some thoughtful responses to them. You’ll hear responses to previously submitted questions and a couple of live audience questions as well.

In this episode we wrap up the first part of the Gospel series on the Kingdom of Heaven. Caleb takes us back to Jesus’ most lengthy recorded collection of teachings; The Sermon on The Mount. This sermon is packed with quick punchy teachings about what the kingdom is like and challenges us to really consider how the Kingdom impacts our lives. Jesus concludes with a not-so-subtle question: Will you wisely act on these teachings? Or will you foolishly ignore them? As you listen to this sermon, we encourage you to consider the same.

In this episode we look at, quite possibly, the most important question in this series, “how does someone enter the Kingdom of Heaven”. We have spent weeks learning what the Kingdom is like, when it will take effect, who will be a part of it, and now, how to become people whom Jesus will welcome into His eternal Kingdom. Caleb challenges us to consider whether we will enter the Kingdom and how we will teach the way of entry to others.

The Kingdom of Heaven is currently here because Jesus’ authority has already taken effect on the world. However, the Kingdom will come in its full measure and will stand as the only Kingdom in the world. This Kingdom will only have one type of people in it: Disciples of the Kingdom. And this is what this teaching explores.

Jesus uses language to describe the Kingdom that can be a bit confusing. Sometimes He speaks as though the Kingdom of Heaven is already here, yet at other times it seems as though it has not yet arrived. Theologians often refer to this concept as the already-but-not-yet nature of the Kingdom. In this teaching we explore how the Kingdom of Heaven is already at hand and how we can see it.

In this episode we take an initial look into the first of the two main components of the gospel message: The Kingdom of Heaven

In our inaugural episode of the Grace Chapel Young Adults podcast, we begin a new series on the gospel. This series aims to bring clairty to the message of the gospel to help unmuddy an often impartial presentation of the Good News of God. Glad you've joined us!
