The Snakes and The Cross (Romans 5)In this episode, we return after the holiday break to continue studying Romans 5. The discussion starts with a personal update about Pastor Jason's battle with Parkinson's disease, where he shows us the importance of faith and perseverance. We explore various topics including the enduring relevance of biblical teachings, the contrast between the Old and New Covenant, and the overarching theme of redemption through Jesus Christ. Specific stories from Numbers and Exodus are examined to highlight the shift in how God interacts with humanity. The episode also addresses common questions regarding sin, punishment, and the accessibility of salvation. Comments and questions from listeners are encouraged throughout the journey.
