In this episode, we explore the enticing question of which sermon from the Bible we would choose to hear in person.

From its theological significance and intentional teachings to its instructional and applicable nature, the Old Testament offers rich insights that resonate through time. We also highlight practical reasons to study these ancient texts, revealing their relevance and the profound relationship they reflect between God and humanity.

"Whatever You Do, Do All To The Glory of GOD" (1 Cor. 10:31) by Allen Webster
1 Corinthians 10:31 - Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
This episode delves into the Apostle Paul's time in the ancient city of Corinth during his second missionary journey. Known as the 'Las Vegas' of its day due to its rampant wickedness, Corinth was a challenging mission field for Paul. Fear and apprehension marked his stay, yet God assured him of His presence and purpose.
Through 1 Corinthians 10, Paul addresses the Corinthians' questions about living faithfully in a city saturated with idolatry and immorality. The episode unpacks the Apostle's teachings on living for the glory of God, examining the text's insights into everyday actions, from eating and drinking to more significant life decisions.
Explore how Paul's answers, grounded in the glory of God, transcend the philosophies of the age, offering timeless guidance on aligning life with divine purpose. Join us for a deep dive into the interplay of secular and spiritual life, the solas of the Reformation, and the call to glorify God in all aspects of our lives.

"Though Your Sins Be As Scarlet" (Isaiah 1:18) by Tim Lewis
Isaiah 1:18 - “Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
This episode delves into the profound themes of sin, judgment, and ultimately, the grace and redemption offered by God. Through an exploration of biblical passages from Isaiah, Jeremiah, and stories of the kings of Judah, we see how sin is often underestimated and the critical importance of acknowledging its weight. Despite the grievous sins committed throughout history, God's message of forgiveness and redemption shines through. With vivid illustrations of transformation from "scarlet" sins to purity as "white as snow," the listener is encouraged to embrace the cleansing grace available through faith and the sacrifice of Jesus. The episode reminds us of the power of repentance and the promise that God's mercy is never far from those who seek it.
