When you heard the gospel and repented and became born again, the Bible says you became a new Christian, a newborn in Christ. When a person comes by faith to Christ, and receives a new heart and a new spirit, they are meant to start growing in their faith. "Habits of grace" refer to spiritual practices that help Christians grow in their faith and deepen their relationship with God through prayer, scripture, and community. Today we will discuss reading the bible, prayer and fasting and evangelism.

In this episode: 2 Timothy 4:6-8, Genesis 3:1, Mark 4, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Romans 8:28. 

In Matthew 28:19, Jesus instructs his disciples to "make disciples of all nations". Disciples are fully devoted followers of another. It is more than a teacher student relationship. The disciple is to become more and more like the leader, which is a process. In today's episode we begin to look at the process and discuss how to become a disciple.

In this episode: Matthew 28:19-20, Luke 14:27, Philippians 2:12, Luke 9:23, Matthew 5, 1 Corinthians 15:10.

Our four-week study of Paul comes to an end today.  We are reminded of his words in 2 Timothy 4:6-8: “For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.”

Paul was a driven Apostle to the very end. Join us as we discuss being committed to Christ in a fallen world.

In this episode: Psalms 118:24, Romans 16:19, 2 Timothy 4:6-18, Philippians 1:21. 

The blood of the Martyrs was the fuel that helped to spread God's word to the nations. Today we look towards the end of Paull's missionary journeys and discuss our trip to Rome, as we followed in the footsteps of Paul.

In this episode: Acts 1:8, Acts 28, Acts 7:54-60, Acts 8:1-4, Acts 2:14-36, Philippians 1:12-13, Hebrews 11:35-40, Acts 4:19-20, Romans 8:38-39. 

Today we continue our discussion on Paul The Missionary.  We follow Paul's trip through Athens, Corinth and Ephesus. Along the way we see Mars Hill, the Parthenon, the City of Ephesus and many other sites.

In this episode: Acts 17:16-33, Acts 18:8-11, Acts 19:29-31.

In June of this year, Kenneth and Harper and over sixty others, traveled to Greece, Turkey and Rome to follow the footsteps of Paul. Our journey took us to many locations that are featured in the bible. Today we will begin our discussion on Paul's role as one of the most prominent Christian Missionaries the world has ever seen.

In this episode: Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15, Luke 24, Acts 1:8, Acts 13:2-3, Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:4-5, Romans 5:1, 1 Corinthians 2:9, Philippians 1:21. 

In Matthew 7:1-5 Jesus warns believers to examine their own hearts before pointing out the faults of others. But, in this age of cultural confusion, the phrase "Judge Not" has become a way to shut down uncomfortable conversations. Join Kenneth and Harper as they dive into Matthew 7:1-5 and the actual meaning of these verses. 

In this episode: Matthew 7:1-5, Matthew 19:16-22, Matthew 23, Matthew 14:1-12, Acts 18:15-20, 1 Corinthians 5:1-5, 1 Corinthians 5:11-13, Galatians 6:1-5.

Today's culture tells us that we exist to be happy. To glorify ourselves and bring as much attention to ourselves as we can. The bible tells us a different story. 1 Corinthians 8:6 tells us that all things are from God, and we exist for God. Join us on today's episode as we consider the question, Why Am I here?

In this episode: 1 Corinthians 8:6, Luke 9:23, John 14:6, 1 Corinthians 10:31, Psalm 139:14, John 3:6.

The phrase "Love your neighbor as yourself" originates from Leviticus 19:18 in the Bible and emphasizes the importance of treating others with the same care and respect that one would wish for oneself.

Anyone who does not have a personal relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ will die in his sins and face eternity in hell.  We owe it to our neighbors to lovingly share with them the good news of the gospel. True believers have been forgiven, possess eternal life, and have blessings forever as the result of others who have shared the gospel with them. God’s love is evidenced in us as we communicate the gospel and love others as we have been loved.

In this episode: Matthew 22:37-40, 1 Corinthians 13:6, Romans 1:32, Matthew 19:1-6, Romans 6:23, John 8:1-11, Luke 15:11-32, Galatians 5:14, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.

Many times, when we talk to people about God’s love, their response seems to resemble human love more than God’s love. Unlike human love, God’s love is sacrificial, perfect and leads to life. The bible tells us to “Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” This type of love leads us to love others as God loves us.

We see an example of Gods love in John 3:16. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”

Join us as we discuss God’s love and how it can change our lives.

In this episode: Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Romans 5:8, Matthew 22:37, 2 Corinthians 4:4, Isaiah 55, John 3:16.
