What is the Grace of God? How would you answer? In this episode I discuss this incredible gift offered to us by God.

In Ephesian 2, Paul tells us that we were all dead in our trespasses and that by the love and mercy of God, He saves us. There is nothing we did to deserve it. This is grace. We accept it by repenting from our rebellious ways and by accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

In this episode, you will learn:

• What is grace
• How it is offered
• How to accept God's grace
• The cost for accepting His grace

Episode Overview:

We lived rebellious lives against God and deserved His judgment. Through His love and mercy, He saves us. This is nothing we can do to deserve this incredible gift. We accept it by repenting and placing our faith in Jesus Christ. This is grace.

Key Takeaway:

While we were dead in sin, God saved us

This is His gift freely offered to all those who place their faith in Jesus

By accepting His grace, we return to the work that He originally created for us

What is the gospel? How would you answer? In this episode I discuss what Jesus and John the Baptist share about this good news.

Both call us to repent since the kingdom of heaven is at hand. We are also told that John the Baptist proclaimed a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sin. In this episode, we will explore the words of Jesus and John to better understand the gospel they preached.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why we are called to repent
• What is the gospel
• What is the kingdom of heaven
• Who is the Lamb of God
• The difference between the kingdom and the gospel
• Substitutionary Atonement

Episode Overview:

God does what we cannot do for ourselves, He saves us from death and restores our relationship with Him. Jesus and John the Baptist share this amazing rescue plan by preaching the gospel (the good news). This is a gift bestowed upon His undeserving enemy.

Key Takeaway:

All rebelled against God and are dead in their sin

Jesus, the Lamb of God, voluntarily dies for our sins so that we may be restored to God

We are saved to do the goods works that God created for us

About the Host

Dr. Jeff Colburn earned his Ph.D. in Bible Exposition from Liberty University. He shares his years of theological research and disciple-making experience to help others to know what it is to follow Jesus and observe all that He commanded.

Not sure what it means to follow Jesus? Is there a difference between being a Christian and becoming a disciple?

In this episode we explore scripture to learn all that Jesus says about following Him and becoming His disciple. We discuss what it is, the cost, and how they are made. We look to how Jesus is the model and how His model was used by the early church.

In this episode, you will learn:

• What it means to follow Jesus
• The cost of discipleship
• Christian vs Disciple
• What makes a disciple
• The Great Commission
• Imitation of Christ

Episode Overview:

In the Great Commission (Matt 28:19-20), Jesus tells us that we are to make disciples of all nations. In His command, he shares what makes a disciple; someone who observes all that He commanded. All Christians are disciples, all disciples are to observe all Jesus commanded, and all disciples are to teach others how to observe. Jesus is the model used by the early church and continues to be the model to be used today.

Key Takeaway:

All Christians are called to be Jesus’ disciples

The cost of discipleship is putting Jesus before everything including family and self

Jesus tells us in Matthew 28:19-20 (The Great Commission) what makes a disciple
