Paul, the Suffering Steward

Faithfully preaching God’s word invites adversity and suffering. In Colossians chapter 1, Paul remarks on this fact, claiming that he rejoices in such suffering. Moreover, this ministry God had “dispensed” unto him was the fulfillment of God’s promise, even a mystery hidden from the foundation of the world, that Gentiles would be blessed with the promise made to Abraham in Genesis 12.

Reconciled On the Cross

To reconcile means to “to resolve or settle a difference.” Through sin, humans are enemies and alienated from God’s presence and blessings and without reconciliation, we would have no hope in standing before God after death, certain judgment awaiting. But praise God, He sent His Son into the world to die for our sins, saving us from His wrath.

Walking After The Flesh

Paul devotes much attention to life before and after the new birth. Often, he presents definitive statements regarding states of being (dead in sin vs alive through the Spirit), leading to eventual exhortations to mortify our sinful nature by walking in the Spirit. Join us for today’s broadcast, in which Ben Winslett considers one such passage from Romans chapter 8.
