In this episode, we'll be exploring Romans 12:1-2 and its practical message/theme. Paul shows how sound doctrine and duty go hand in hand in the Christian life, and how our beliefs should impact our behaviour. It's not enough to understand Paul's explanations - we must also live them out in our daily lives to show that we truly trust in God's Word.
In the section we're studying today, Paul focuses on the theme of relationships, beginning with our relationship with God. As we align our lives with God's will and offer ourselves as living sacrifices, we can experience the transformation that comes from renewing our minds. This change in our thinking can then impact how we relate to others in our lives - from fellow believers to our enemies.

In this episode of our podcast, we conclude our study of Romans 11 by exploring verses 25-36 and its message and theme.
In the previous episodes, we have seen Paul present various "witnesses" to demonstrate that God's plan for Israel is not yet finished, even though they have rejected Jesus. These witnesses have included Paul himself, the prophet Elijah, the Gentiles, and the Patriarchs.

Join me as we gain insight into the biblical concept of Israel's "fullness" and how it will bring about the riches of God's grace as never before.

In this episode of the podcast, we delve into Romans 10:18-21 to explore the theme of the consequences of Israel's rejection of Jesus. Building on the themes of God's righteousness and faith in Jesus as the cure, we examine how the Apostle Paul talks about how God extended salvation to the Gentiles as a result of Israel's rejection (and as predicted by Moses in Deuteronomy 32:21). This was an act of grace both to the Jews and Gentiles, and also to provoke jealousy in the Jews.
Today, God calls on Christians to share the good news with everyone and use us the same way He used Paul and others. We also highlight that God is patient, endures lasting offense and wants no one to be lost.

Today we're going to be studying Romans 6:1-11 and its overall message/theme. This section is about how Paul defended the doctrine of justification by faith.
He breaks the objections down into 3 main ones:
1) If God’s grace increases whenever we sin then we should just continue to sin so that we might experience more grace
2) If we’re not under the old law in the old testament then we should be free to live however we want
3) Paul, you’ve twisted God’s laws and made them sinful.

Today we're going to be studying Romans 4:1-25 and its overall message/theme. This section is about justification by faith in the life of Abraham, the father of the faith, and this was important because the Jews at the time had a hard time relating justification by faith to themselves.
For us today, the message is clear: We need to come to the end of ourselves and realise that it's only through God's grace that we can be saved and go to heaven. We are justified by faith and the object of our faith is in Jesus Christ, the one who died for us and rose again.

Today we’re talking about the acronym “YOLO” (You Only Live Once). It’s a term/philosophy that refers to an impulsive, carefree, do whatever you want attitude toward living. Even though it was mainly popular around 2010, the attitude is still all around us today - especially in social media. So should we be be living carelessly? Doing whatever we want regardless of the consequences? Living as though only today matters? Yes and no.

A lot people today have really different views and opinions of God - some people think he’s authoritative (like he’s angry & judgmental and acts on those feelings). Some people think he’s nonjudgmental and he’s more like an all-powerful, always present, life coach. Some people think he’s very critical and not very engaged in our lives and some people think He’s very distant and that He’s just a cosmic force that set everything in motion but doesn't really do anything in our lives and doesn’t care about what’s happening in the world.
Because so many people have different views & opinions about God, in today's episode, Rachel is going to attempt to straighten this out because whether we know it or not, we all have thoughts and feelings about who God is and those thoughts really do affect our lives and that can be positive or negative.

There are so many misconceptions about the Christian faith. Some people think that the Christian faith is a cult, or some people have been apart of cults under the guise that it was the real, authentic Christian faith and have no walked away from religion altogether. Some people are led astray by lies and misconceptions of what the Christian faith is, and it really stops them from entering into a real relationship with God.
In today's episode, Rachel attempts to explain the difference between what authentic Christianity really is and what it isn't, and how it is different compared to other worldviews and religions.

As Christians, as we mature in Christ, we should be gaining a better understanding of the church, which is Jesus' body. Sometimes we may forget that we are to function not just on our own but as one unit - as a church body. We need to work as a team, as a family, to be doing Jesus’ work in the world.
In today's episode, Rachel talks about the specific issue of resolving church problems and how they can be resolved by remembering three crucial truths: Unity, diversity & maturity in love (Based off 1 Corinthians 12).

"You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." - 1 Corinthians 6:20All of life is supposed to be worship, not just singing at church or saying out loud that you believe in God. Whether it’s eating, drinking, or even sex; we’re to glorify God with it. Worshipping with our bodies is how we handle our sexuality. Jesus Christ died for us. We are not out own, so we are to glorify God with our bodies. Our bodies are the temple in which the Holy Spirit lives, so we are to always worship.
In today's episode, Rachel reads through 1 Corinthians 6 and learning about the importance of glorifying God not just with our mouths, but with our bodies.

Today’s episode is a little bit different to normal episodes, we’ll be addressing in a pretty simple “list form” approach the answer to the question: Who is God? A lot of people have the wrong idea about God - ideas that haven’t actually come from God’s Word which is the main source of how God chooses to reveal his characteristics - so I really hope that this episode sheds some light on this question.
