While many Christians enjoy contemporary Christian music (and some of it is really good!), most mature Christians appreciate the God-centered, Gospel-centered, rich theology of hymns. In this episode, we look at the fascinating story behind one of those timeless hymns,  "There is a Fountain Filled with Blood," and the heartbreaking story of its writer, William Cowper.

Many of us probably know that Fanny Crosby wrote a crazy amount of hymns -  – she wrote the words to over 8,000! And many of us probably know she was blind. But we wanted to include her in our “stories behind the songs,” series because there is so much more to her story - even some controversy! In this episode, we not only dive into Fanny Crosby's life, but the inspiration and situation behind two of her most fam...

Songs have been an important part of worship since creation! God has many reasons for giving His people the gift of song. The Bible even contains songs and a few songbooks in it! Join us as we begin our series, "Stories Behind the Songs," where we will look at some familiar songs, as well as maybe some not so familiar ones, and take a peek at the author's life, and what prompted them to create their wor...

We wrap up our "Faith in Action" series with Paul's final words in 2Corinthians. After he finishes what he has to say, he gives a benediction to the people. There are lots of questions surrounding the meaning and purpose of the benediction, including what are they? What is their meaning in Scripture? Today, why do we include it in our worship services? Is it just a nice way to wrap up the worship servic...

What could there possibly be able to be appreciated about affliction? Most would say absolutely nothing; which is why being a "faith healer" is big business. These charlatans make millions and millions on telling people that it is God's will to have you physically healed and strong. They will tell you Jesus died to take away your afflictions, therefore, you are made physically complete in Jesus if you j...

"Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies." These aren't just song lyrics, they are the fondest wish of those who have no desire or discernment for Truth.  Why do millions of professing Christians follow false teachers? Why are they so willing and eager to believe their lies when the Truth is right in front of their eyes in Scripture? Why do millions of people listen to Joel Osteen, Steven Furtick, Joyce...

A "Faith in Action," of a mature believer is recognizing problems in our church, and being a part of solving those problems! How do we better support our Pastor? How can we work to kill the sin of slander, gossip, and the like, amidst the congregation? How can we better prepare ourselves for worship? How can we make sure the Gospel is going forward in our church? And perhaps the biggest question of all, how ...

In 2 Cor. 9:6 says, "Whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully." What does this mean exactly? Does this justify people like Jesse DuPlantis and Kenneth Copeland having private airplanes? Does it mean that Paula White, with her mansion in Tampa and penthouse in New York is just reaping bountifully? Does it mean that those of use who are struggling financially, are struggling because we aren't g...

Let's face it, maybe no subject is more sensitive than our money - whether it's being asked to give money, getting scammed out of money, or deciding how much money you need to sock away for a rainy day. God blesses us with material possessions. To some He gives a lot, to others He gives less. But He expects all of us to be grateful for what He gives us, be responsible with what He gives us, and use discernme...

How many of us as parents have said to our kids, "Are you really sorry, or just sorry you got caught?" Well, as Christians, we need to check our hearts and make sure when we ask God for forgiveness that we are truly penitent, and not just pretending! What's the difference? Paul helps us flesh it out in 2 Corinthians chapter 7!

We hear all of the time that Christians are to be pure. Usually this is meant in the context of abstaining from sexual immorality, dressing modestly, and maybe curbing our language. But when you drill down into what being pure means and why it is so crucial for a Christian to be unmixed, unadulterated, & uncontaminated, you find a much richer and deeper truth than just fixing up the externals!

Have you ever thought about that when you were saved, you were made a new creation? God didn't just fix you up, dust you off, and make you look prettier, He made you a new creation!! What exactly does that mean and how should that Truth prompt a "faith in action," in us? Paul gives us the answer in 2 Corinthians. He also tells us not to be a stumbling block and how to get out of the way when we are witn...

We are saved by faith alone, in Christ alone, through grace alone. That is a certainty. We are not saved by any works we do. However, the works we do after we are saved are part of our progressive sanctification and do have eternal consequences. In fact, we will be judged on how faithful we serve the Lord and will be given rewards accordingly. To quote Derrick Thomas, "Some will be given ten cities, some will be ...

Does God really use everyone to further His Kingdom? Are there incidences or circumstances that are justified reasons for not diligently working for God? What if we're really sick? What if we are mourning a devastating loss? What if we have emotional and mental issues like depression or bipolar disorder? What if we just don't feel up to a task? Can we get a pass from God? Paul gives us that answer in 2 Corin...

Christians should stink! Maybe not stink like sweaty teenage boys, but we should definitely be putting out a fragrance. Some will find that fragrance to be the aroma of life, while others will smell the stench of death. Our faith in action will not only make us put out the scent of Christ, but it will make us sufficient to do so!

Many Christians make a New Year’s resolution to have more faith, but what does that look like? What does that even mean? True faith will have fruits and good works that naturally come out of it because we are being sanctified by the Holy Spirit while we cooperate and contribute to our growth. Jesus and all of the other biblical writers all tell us that true faith is not sedentary; it is a faith that is in action. Real...
