Saving Grace

(Guest: Roger Fankhauser) “Evil associated with sex comes from abuse of God’s gift, not from the gift itself. God intended sex to be loving, pleasurable – not a source of heartache and destruction.” In this sex-saturated world, with Satan and our flesh active, is sexual purity really possible? If so, how do we experience it? Our guest today to start our 3-part series is Dr. Roger Fankhauser, author of “Stormproof Men: Sexual Purity for Christian Men in a Sex-Saturated World.” Questions: We look forward to interacting with you and the opportunity to address your questions on the podcast. Email your questions to savinggrace[at]gsot.edu.

(Guest: Mark Rae) Instructions for living by grace will be helpful if the world is to be drawn to Christ by our testimony and deeds. What is the ministry of grace we’ve been given made possible, by Christ alone? How are we to be ministers of grace, shedding Christ’s light in this dark world?  Mark Rae, Vice President of Community Development at Grace, will help us with these questions, and prepare us to take Christ to the nations, in this last message of our series, Life of Glory.

(Guest: Mark Rae) At the core of a life of glory, is unbroken fellowship and intimacy with God.  So, how do we nurture our lives to ensure that our fellowship with the Lord is unbroken, and to increase our intimacy with Him?  Mark Rae, Vice President of Community Development at Grace, believes there are two pillars that will guard our fellowship and intimacy with Christ. In this podcast, Mark shares the value of worship and prayer.

(Guest: Mark Rae) The Holy Spirit is often ignored, or misunderstood, in Christian circles today.  Without His help, however, we can never pursue holiness in a manner that brings honor and glory to God. And yet, that is our purpose and calling to do so during our life on earth.  So who is the Holy Spirit? Why is He called Holy? What role does He have in the Trinity and in our lives today?  Mark Rae, Vice President of Community Development at Grace, will address these very important questions as we continue our series, Life of Glory.

(Guest: Mark Rae) Perhaps with the Apostle Paul you ask,  “Why do I do the things I know I shouldn’t do, and don’t do the things I should do?” Why is this a dilemma for every human alive, even Christians? Because the flesh is weak, Scripture tells us. What exactly is “the flesh?” How can the flesh be defeated for me to walk triumphantly with Christ, in a life of glory?  Mark Rae, Vice President of Community Development at Grace, will take us to Scripture for the answers to those questions.

(Guest: Mark Rae) There is an identity crisis in the world. What difference could our lives make in the world if we grasped our true identity in Jesus Christ? What if we understood that we are no longer bound by sin and can freely present our lives to the Lord, for His purposes and glory?  The answer is, we can! Today, Mark Rae, Vice President of Community Development at Grace, brings a powerful message to tell us how, as part of our series on A Life of Glory.

(Guest: Mark Rae) “Show and tell” isn’t limited to our elementary school days. Have you considered the fact that believers who follow Christ are to “show and tell” every day?  What are we to show?  What are we to tell?  As we continue our series on A Life of Glory, Mark Rae, Vice President of Community Development at Grace, will guide us through scriptures that clearly define the incredible object of our display, and the One who brings triumph to our story.

(Guest: Dr. Dave Anderson) Who am I, why am I here, and where am I going? These questions have plagued mankind from the beginning, and all three stem from the need to know our purpose. Understanding our position in Christ first – before we consider our condition or behavior – is vital if we are to fulfill the purpose to which God has called us. Dr. Dave Anderson, author of Position and Condition, unpacks this truth and more in this week’s episode.  To find out more or to purchase Dr. Anderson’s book on this topic entitled Position and Condition, visit gracetheology.org/bookstore/position-and-condition.

(Guest: Mark Rae) The Christian life is not only difficult; it is impossible apart from God’s amazing grace. We are commanded to reflect God’s glory, but realize we can never conform to His character on our own. But did you know that God has given us multiple gifts of grace to help us conform to His image? Mark Rae, Vice President of Community Development at Grace, will enlighten us today on the gifts of grace that make it possible for us to reflect God’s glory!

(Guest: Mark Rae) We look at the world, and at our own lives and say, “I don’t think this is the way it’s supposed to be.” Darkness is in us, and all around us, but that was not God’s plan. So what happened? And more importantly, what is God’s solution to return us to our design? As we continue our series on A Life of Glory, Mark Rae, Vice President of Community Development at Grace, will shed biblical insight on this predicament and God’s remedy.

(Guest: Mark Rae) God commands us in 1 Peter 1:16, “Be holy, because I am holy.” If we are to reflect God’s glory, we must conform to His character, which is holy. How is it possible for us, in our weakness, to be holy?  As we continue our series on A Life of Glory, Mark Rae, Vice President of Community Development at Grace, will help us to better understand our pursuit of holiness.  Study Guide link: We have developed a free study guide for A Life of Glory that you can download for personal or group use as you listen to the podcast series.

(Guest: Mark Rae) In this first of a 10 part series, you will learn of the potential power and joy in a Christian life of glory. The Bible talks a lot about the glory of God, and how we, as Christians, are to bring God glory in our lives. But what is God’s glory? How do others see God’s glory in me, and how can I express His glory to the fullest? Mark Rae, Vice President of Community Development at Grace shares how the glory of God reveals our purpose for being, and brings new meaning to the oft-repeated phrase, “Glory be!” Download the Study Guide: We have developed a free study guide for A Life of Glory that you can download for personal or group use as you listen to the podcast series.

(Guest: Dr. Fred Chay) One Scripture verse often quoted as basis of casting doubt on a believer’s assurance of salvation is 2 Corinthians 13:5-6. Paul writes, “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? – Unless indeed you are disqualified.” But is Paul talking about our justification before Christ, or something else? Our guest, Dr. Fred Chay, Dean of Doctoral Studies and Professor of Theological Studies at Grace School of Theology brings clarity to this passage.

(Guest: Dr. Fred Chay) Jesus Christ’s judgment of works is certain for believers, and for non-believers. Understanding that these are two separate events with two very different purposes is vital for how we live today. Dr. Fred Chay, Dean of Doctoral Studies and Professor of Theological Studies at Grace School of Theology, explains the difference.

(Guest: Mark Rae) The return of Jesus Christ is a sure thing and that certainty gives us an opportunity of a lifetime. He will come first for His church, and return with His church to set up His earthly kingdom.  In light of Christ’s imminent return, how do we prepare?  What should we be doing so that He finds us faithful?  How do we make our life now count for eternity?
