One insult hurled at Jesus in His personal ministry was that He was a friend of sinners. In this message, we consider this accusation, one that despite its evil intent, brings us much comfort!

Jonah’s Prayer | Jonah Chapter 2
In our last broadcast, we ended by leaving poor Jonah in the belly of a great fish, after having been cast overboard for bringing Divine judgment upon himself and the crew of the ship he was on. Today, we return to him as he is in the depths of the sea, as he prays to God for forgiveness and is released from this Hellish prison.

Arise and Go! | Jonah Chapter 1
Jonah is an interesting book. In this short writing, we learn of God’s judgment for sin but also His mercy and kindness when nations repent. We also learn one occasional role of his ministers in calling on people to turn from their sins. In today’s edition of Words of Grace, we begin a chapter by chapter study of this book.

A Little Leaven
When we sin, we bring reproach upon the cause of Christ. One proverbial phrase that scripture uses to warn against allowing sin to take root in our lives is “a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.” This warning is given with reference to sinful living and also false doctrine. In this radio program, we explore some of the scriptural uses of leaven as a metaphor for sin or error.
Go And Make Disciples
Each of the four Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles contain a variation of what is referred to as the “great commission,” wherein Jesus commanded the eleven remaining apostles to go and make disciples. In today’s broadcast, we consider the rendition of this found in Mark’s gospel.
