Transforming…

Randolph Jason

Transforming… Tuesday October 8, 2002 I walked into my first AA meeting, raised my hand and with a veil of false pride proclaimed “my name and I am an alcoholic”! I sat and listened as the people in attendance around me spoke about their situation. I was sober at that moment, but that soon changed – as soon as the meeting ended. A couple of weeks later, after attending a few more meetings, listening to people discuss their experiences with being alcoholic and coming to realize that I needed more…

The Disciple’s Identity – Christ in You Podcast by David Platt for Radical GNN Note – If you missed last weeks You In Christ click here now It seems as if everybody has a “key” to the Christian life––some list of things to do, some technique, or some spiritual practice that will improve your life. But what if your identity as a follower of Christ is not ultimately dependent on what you can do? And what if living the Christian life isn’t about merely improving your life?

Comparing Spiritual to Spiritual

Randolph Jason

Comparing Spiritual to Spiritual How do we learn of the power of God and the Spirit in our lives? Can we open the door to allow the Spirit to enter our lives and take charge? Why do our prayers, seemingly, go unanswered? First, our prayers are always answered, it may just not be in the timeframe we desire or we do not receive the answer we had hoped. Is Paul teaching us the Spirit will reveal that which is of God? If we are seeking “things” of man can the…

Is The Bible Reliable? (Video)

Randolph Jason

Is The Bible Reliable? Video by Pastor Erwin Lutzer for The Moody Church Is the Bible filled with inaccuracies, or can it be trusted? Is it merely a guidebook, or the inspired Word of God? In this sermon, Pastor Erwin Lutzer addresses whether the Bible is a human book or a divine book. He argues that it is both human and divine, with dual authorship. Directly or indirectly it claims divine inspiration about 1,500 times. Seven other witnesses attest that this claim is true: the testimony of consistency, history, prophecy,…

Deeper In Faith

Randolph Jason

Deeper In Faith We see the Apostle Paul continually traveling around, on mission, to spread the Gospel all the while he has come to realize with each step he is moving closer to his own death. Is this part of living a full Gospel life? Are we to be so in tune with the Holy Spirit that each day we know a understand a little better when this life will transform from physical to spirit? I’ve heard it said we are spiritual beings having a human experience. If this is…

Knowledge of Your Own Death

Randolph Jason

Knowledge of Your Death How difficult would it be to know that your life is going to end in just a short period from today? How would you respond? What would your actions and, equally as important, your words for the people around you and for those seen and unseen? While I have not counted my days to the end that day is coming. What I do, and say, matters right now. Each person we come in contact makes a difference, we impact them and they impact us. What picture…

. . . And Then the Holy Spirit

Randolph Jason

. . . And Then the Holy Spirit by Fred Sanders for The Gospel Coalition There are three persons in the Trinity, all coequal, coeternal, and coessential. There can hardly be a deeper Christian instinct than the one that prompts us to do equal justice to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But alongside this instinct, there is also a deep wisdom to recognizing a certain order in the way we deploy Christian teaching on the Trinity—and especially on the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Trinity. In fact, there…
