Christian Justification
Galatians 2-16-20
2010-10-18
Also in Format: mp3
SYNOPSIS:Galatians was written to a group of Gentiles that had been infected with Judiazing teachings; they had been taught that they were required to fulfil the rituals of the Jewish law (circumcision, washings, dietary laws, etc) to be saved. All of Galatians refutes this heresy, and teaches why Christians must be moral. This passage particularly highlights the differences between Jewish justification (which was only an external declaration) and Christian Justification, which is also a declaration, but also involves the inner man becoming righteous - that is, the obliteration of sin (not just forgiveness), and eventual perfection. Why should we care about the difference between the Jewish view and the Christian reality? Because almost everyone, to a greater or lesser degree often lives and thinks as the Jews did.

Parable Of The Sower
Grace,faith,works
Ephesians 2-4-10,Luke 8-5-15

Also in Format: mp3
SYNOPSIS:The Epistle and Gospel selections today, which are rarely read together, both proclaim the Gospel - the "Good News" in both the same and different ways. Ephesians is the classic declaration of the Gospel,and the parable of the sower speaks in metaphor, but both declare that how the gospel is received by us and what we do with it determines whether or not we "bring forth fruit with patience", and be His workmanship ... unto good works".

On The Good Ground Are They Which In An Honest And Good Heart Having Heard The Word Keep It And Bring Forth Fruit With Patience
Luke 8-5-15
2012-10-28
SYNOPSIS:In the parable of the sower, the Lord concludes: "On the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience." Why did He specify patience as the necessary virtue, and not faith, hope, love, zeal, etc? We examine patience, and how it is the active aspect of faith, hope, love and many virtues. How can we increase our patience?
