The Price Chapel Podcast

When someone "Brings the Receipts" they are bringing the proof that they were right, their prediction was correct; and God brought the receipts in the birth of Jesus. The lineage receipt is the proof that God cares about the details and weaved human actions together with his own to bring the Son of God's birth through a particular family line through which he chose to bring salvation to the world. As we ponder this truth during the Advent season, we are reminded to trust in God because he is faithful across generations, he accomplishes His will through imperfect people, and that His plan is bigger than your trouble.

The New Testament book of Hebrews contains some complex writing on who Jesus is. The temptation of the letter's audience was to go back to old forms of Judaism, but the author shares that life with Jesus is a new way.

The Apostle Paul instructs the church in Corinth about God's gifts for the church. In these passages there are 5 Truths that are important take aways for us in the Church today. How do we discover them? How do we use them? How do we expect them? Who are they relevant for?

What if? is a question that drives so many worries caused by anxiety. What do we do with the "What If?" questions of life? Mary and Joseph had many what if questions. They chose to trust in God's plan despite the anxiety of their circumstances.

We enter the story of Joseph as the angel shares with him the Title, the Name, the Mission, and the Promise pointing to God's ultimate plan; Operation Salvation

Paul uses two metaphors for the Christian life: "running the race" and "fighting the fight." Both are deeply rooted in Corinthian culture and bring the application of these two metaphors to life. How ought we live our faith?

We cling to the things that are passing away: sports dynasties, kids leaving the home, nostalgia from the past. But how do we move forward? Paul calls the church in Corinth to devote themselves to the things that do not pass away.

The Apostle Paul gets into the thick of church discipline in the church in Corinth. He draws from Jewish tradition, from Jesus and applies those lessons in chapter 5. What can we learn from the early church that will help us navigate the tumultuous waters of sin within the church?

We will be looking at the Parable of the Weeds in Matthew 13:24-30 & 36-43. This parable helps us answer the question: If there is a God how can there be evil in the world?

Our All-Knowing God is working out all things for our good. This idea is profoundly present throughout scripture, particularly today's verses in Romans 8. Yet, this idea sometimes doesn't sit squarely with our experiences. When the Apostle Paul pens these words about God's handiwork he meant something deeply grounded in the character of God that we must understand. God is at work, but we have a propensity to resist it, sometimes without awareness. How, then, should we understand God's sovereignty and providence so that we participate in building the Kingdom of God, rather than hindering it.

International Workers, David & Aleah Nishizaki share the stories of what God is up to in the deaf world. David and Aleah are concluding an almost 9 year season of ministry among the deaf and hard-of-hearing community in Washington D.C. advocating, empowering and raising up leaders in the deaf church to share the gospel locally and around the world. This next season of ministry puts them on a trajectory of continuing to glorify God with all of who they are as the move to Japan. God has been stirring a passion and a hope to share Jesus as they move to Tokyo and build relationships with both the deaf and hearing communities.

Prayer, communing with God, is a core aspect of Christian faith. In Romans 8, Paul outlines 4 truths about prayer that we need to be aware of as we approach God. First, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. Second, the Spirit helps us when we don’t know how to pray. Third, the Spirit intercedes through wordless groans. And fourth, the Spirit intercedes for us in accordance with the will of God.

Earthquakes and natural disasters are reminders that everything in creation is not as it should be. Romans 8 identifies these experiences as the groaning of created order as in the pains of child birth. Paul highlights 3 truths regarding creation: creation is frustrated; creation will be liberated; and creation looks to humanity.

There’s a popular belief that everyone is a child of God. Yet, the Bible does not teach that we are the biological product of a Heavenly Father or Mother. These ideas come from extra-Biblical sources. Though we are made in God’s image, according to the Genesis story, we are born into a kingdom of darkness and are therefore enemies of God. In the midst of this state, God’s love meets us where we are and he adopts us into his family. This adoption sets us free and gives us new rights as children of God.

God cares for our bodies and wants to bring life to them. Paul, the author of Romans 8, contrasts the realm of the flesh with the realm of the flesh. The believer lives by the realm of the spirit. Living according to the flesh leads to death. Life according to the spirit brings resurrection power and the promise of healing. So, the believer puts into practice the ongoing work of putting our sin to death by the power of the Holy Spirit at work within.

Your mindset will impact your mental health positively or negatively. Paul uncovers the mindset Christians have access to. Our mindset expresses our basic nature as Christians or Non-Christians. Our mindset has eternal consequences. Our mindset concerns our fundamental attitude toward God. Jesus provides a pathway for the Spirit of God to renew our minds, transforming how we think and engage with the world.

Paul writes a pivotal letter to the church in Rome. This book called Romans, contains the most central doctrines of the Christian faith. In Chapter 8 Paul unpacks how the gospel message offers us an opportunity to truly become alive in Christ. We struggle with sin and yearn to be set free. But it is only the power of Jesus on the cross that could break the power of sin and death and set us free.

When someone "Brings the Receipts" they are bringing the proof that they were right, their prediction was correct; and God brought the receipts in the birth of Jesus. "The Purpose Receipt" is about God declaring the purpose of the coming Messiah centuries before Jesus even walked the earth. These prophecies explicitly tell of Jesus purpose to bring salvation from the earthly and eternal consequences of sin.

When someone "Brings the Receipts" they are bringing the proof that they were right, their prediction was correct; and God brought the receipts in the birth of Jesus. The "Place Receipt" is about God's plans superseding our own plans. The biblical characters Ruth, Samuel, and Joseph all had their own plans for how life was supposed to go, but God disrupted them all in the little town of Bethlehem. Through each of their stories, God was weaving the beautiful tapestry of His sovereignty ultimately bringing about the moment Jesus comes to earth.
