David in his Psalm says

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,

Where did man come from? This is a question that has baffled many, from the echelons of academia to the innocence of toddlers. And it remains an important question as it determines the course of one's life.

Genesis 1: 26-27 indicates where man came from and what that means. Listen in and be blessed.

#christianity#Originofman#church#creation#christian#begining#Genesis#image#likeness

In creation, aside from the other living things (plants and animals), we have the unique creature - Man. This is an introduction to the coming series where we'll seek to answer the following questions:

1. Who is Man and where did he come from?

2. What are the implications of man's creation?

3. Distinctive between men and women.

#christianity#womanhood#manhood#femininity#masculinity#church.

The church doesn't merely exist for our comfort. We are called to be a people who serve, deny themselves, and consider others better than themselves. It is how the world we know we love one another.

Have a listen and let us know if you love the people of Christ!

I am passionate about the church and God's plan for it. On this episode, a brother of mine and I look at the 'Genesis' of the church, who and what builds and sustains the church. Join us in this conversation, and we hope and pray that you will learn, be encouraged and perhaps transformed too.

As the story unfolds, we see that now God dwells in the Church. How is this the case? Among sinful people? Well, listen in to the latest episode to find out how God dwells in the church!

Matthew 28:19-20

#christian#christianity#church#believers#Christ

After man (Adam & Eve, Israel) failed to display God's glory perfectly and sinned - breaking God's Law, there needed to be one who would perfectly and faithfully display God's image and establish His Kingdom. This one is the God-Man, Christ.

Listen to our latest episode as we see how Christ did what Man couldn't and it's a blessing.

#christianity#christ#christmas#christian living

In continuing with the Christmas story, we see that God hasn't given up, and neither have his plans and purposes failed because of man's rebellion (Genesis 1-3).

Instead, God renews His plans, and we see Him choosing a people to dwell amidst and, who will display His glory to the world. But are they the ultimate solution? Listen in, and be encouraged!

#christianity#tabernacle#temple#christmas#birth#Christ#sin#fall#renew#purposes.

The Christmas story begins not on the 25th, nor in the Gospels. The birth of Christ begins in Genesis.

See how the creation and the fall relate to Christ's birth.

This is the beginning of a 4 part series. Please listen in, and leave some feedback.

After a short break, we're back. Listen to the update and I'll be with you soon!

We continue with Gospel-Driven Communities. What is the goal of such communities? What are some of the characteristics that make up these communities and lastly, what are the shortcomings that could be in these communities? Tune in as my guest and I share our thoughts on the same. Grace and Peace.

#christian #communities #Gospel #church #bible

Welcome to another Episode! What are Gospel-Driven Communities? What do they look like?

Here’s how Tim Chester puts it;

A Gospel Community is a group of people who are committed to Jesus and committed to one another, sharing their lives together, and sharing their mission together.

Join me and the guest as we discuss what this means. Grace and Peace. 1 Corinthians 15

#truth#christian#bible#church#christianity

On this final episode of Gospel-Driven Marriage, Jon and I finally discuss some of the ways we error thinking about singlehood and how we can biblically view it as a time in life that's also ordained by God. (1 Corinthians 7). So engage, let us know what you think: we welcome thoughts and comments.

Grace and Peace.

In this episode, my guest and I discuss how helpful it is to look to Christ and his love for the church and her submission to Him as an example for marriage: Ephesians 5:22-25

#christanity#marriage#biblical living #Gospel-driven.

Well, Marriage!

Yes, from Gospel Driven Friendships to Gospel Driven Marriages. Join me and my guest as we explore God's design for marriage and how the Gospel shapes/drives a marriage.

Ephesians 5: 22-25

Grace and Peace.

Jim Elliot, in his diary, wrote ' He is no fool who gives what he cannot lose, to gain what he cannot keep.'

Also, Christ said (Mark 8:34-37)

' If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35 For whoever would save his life[d] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37 For what can a man give in return for his soul?'

Join me as I share thoughts on the subject of Denying self! God bless.

There has been anxiety and worry and complaints around us during these difficult economic times. How are we to think about the current state of living in a biblical sense? Join me as I share my reflections:

Jeremiah 17:7-8

But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.

Friendships are avenues with which God uses to reveal His beauty and for our journey as Pilgrims.

Have you ever wondered what pitfalls affect friendships? Well, listen in to our recent episode as friends discuss matters Friendships.

Music used: Neema Yako - Rehema Simfukwe.

CS Lewis, in his book 4 Loves says: “In friendship...we think we have chosen our peers. In reality, a secret master of ceremonies has been at work. Christ, who said to the disciples, "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you," can truly say to every group of Christian friends, "Ye have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another."

Join me and a friend of mine as we discuss matters of Gospel Friendships.

John 15: 13-15

You're a Christian alright. How then are you to live? Join the conversation as a friend and I discuss our faith and what it means to live it out.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

2 Christians thinking their Christianity out loud. We look at what it means to live out the Christian life and its importance.

Since it's a discussion, some texts that we highlighted were: John 13:34., 1 John 2:9-11., Ephesians 3:14.

If you're a Christian, what does your life look like? Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

What a motivation: Join me on today's episode as I share my thoughts on the same!
