2: Good News Everyone! Why the Gospel is Still Good News

Today in episode 2 we’re going to the planet Earth, which has a secular culture of “Nons”, those who don’t have any spiritual affiliation. Can the Gospel still affect them? Jeff and Andrew zap common myths about the Gospel and explore how it has the power to reveal God’s love to all people. Bright future ahead!

Hey dudes and dudettes, we most definitely need the righteousness of God.

5: Why the Wrath of God is Misunderstood

The wrath of God is often portrayed as the active punishment of those who don’t fall in line, but could it be something else? In this episode we talk about how separation from the God of love is at the core of His wrath and understanding it will drive us to reach out to others rather than distancing ourselves from them.

6: What Does It Mean to be Justified?

"Are you right with God?" is a question that Christians will often ask, but is it putting too much weight on human shoulders?

7: Do you qualify? The Conditions for Salvation

We've all skipped reading the fine print when reading instructions and installing new software, but it's something we can't afford to do when it comes to understanding the Gospel. In this episode things start to come together. We talk more on justification in Romans 5:6-11, specifically how we are all eligible to receive God's grace.  For more resources, including a free download of our book "The Ephesus Model", visit www.AdventistCityMinistries.com Send your questions and comments to contact@simplicityoutreach.org Production and music - Andrew Carroll Copyright © 2019 Adventist City Ministries

9: Why being "in Christ" doesn't mean trying harder

Romans 5 is one of the least discussed chapters in the New Testament, maybe because it's so misunderstood. Today Jeff and Andrew explore how the Gospel frees us from the try harder, pray better, do more mentality. We can breathe a sigh of relief because the power of the Son is in the palm of our hands.
