How To Truly Hear Jesus, Matthew 7:24-29 - Marcus Grodi and Jim Anderson

How do you respond when you hear the words of Jesus, especially if He is calling you to either do something you’d rather not do or stop doing something you like to do? And for that matter, today in the twenty-first century, how do you know if and when you are hearing the words of Jesus? Is it sufficient to merely read the Bible to hear Jesus? When people wear a WWJD? Bracelet and try to guide their lives by the question, “What Would Jesus DO?”, this presumes that they are hearing what Jesus says and then trying to do it? So how can you be sure you are hearing Him correctly, and is this important? This is what we dill discuss today on Deep In Scripture.

Do we have an assurance of salvation? Matthew 7:21-23 - Marcus Grodi and Jim Anderson

Marcus Grodi and Jim Anderson continue their discussion of the Gospel of Matthew by discussing verses 7:21-23, wrapping up the Sermon on the Mount. This discussion of Scripture will lead to the discussion of the topics of Sola Fide and the “assurance of salvation.”

“A common opening line used by door-to-door evangelists is: “If you were to die tonight and found yourself standing before God, and He asked you why should I let you into my heaven, what would you say?” Aside from the likelihood that this scenario may have no semblance whatsoever to what we will experience when we die, how would you answer this question: Why should God let you into His kingdom? What must you do to inherit eternal life” What must you do to be saved? And if at one time in your life you accepted Jesus as your Lord & Savior, can you be turned away at the door of heaven? This is what we will discuss today on Deep In Scripture.”

Rejoicing in the Lord, Philippians 4:4-7 - Marcus Grodi and Jim Anderson

Marcus Grodi and Jim Anderson discuss Philippians 4:4-7 and the nature of rejoicing during religious festivals.

“Tomorrow is the center of a season of festivals, each one calling us to rejoice, to be thankful, and to hope for peace, or as the angels proclaimed in the Christmas story, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased.” but our modern relativistic culture has robbed all of these festivals of the one ingredient that can restore and preserve their true meanings, and bring by grace the peace God’s promises. Instead we are too often left with festivals of rejoicing of a different color…”
