Vintage Grace's Podcast

Flowing directly from Paul’s call to be a living sacrifice and make sure our LOVE is genuine in our relationships with one another, even extending to our enemies, he now tells us to submit to civil authorities.

Since the beginning of time the enemy & the world has tried to distract & drown out the voice of the Good Shepherd.We need to have hearts that hear & trust His voice if we want to experience the abundant life.His voice is not just for our salvation but also for His future flock. #HarvestIsPlentiful

How do we, those whose lives are founded in our experience of God’s mercy, whose minds are being renewed, how do we think? In view of God's mercy, with the grace He has given us, we steward the gifts God has given you. Why? To build a community unified by Jesus & His gospel. Thats the ‘win’!

Our experience of God’s mercy is the foundation of our expression!Paul knows the secret to joyfully living sacrificially is tied to being transformed in the mind. Our thoughts can be our greatest enemies or our greatest allies when it comes to walking in the way of Jesus.

The Gospel calls people to God, and unifies all of humanity—every Jew & Gentile, past & present, in Rome & California. The Gospel informs, directs, and defines our lives.The Gospel sends us to our towns, to point people to the power of God to save! The Gospel is the completed work of God’s Plan!

We want Jesus to be King of our lives. We also want him to reign in the lives of our friends, neighbors, loved ones, and everyone far from him. #LivingProof

Rehoboam is leading his people into rebellion against God. It is not just a problem from him and his people, but it's a problem with us and all of Humanity. Rehoboam is a failed king of a people who needed a greater king. King Jesus, is ready to do a redemptive work in our lives. He is not phased by our failure, but reveals a need for a new work in our life.

Today, we wrap up the first eleven chapters of Romans, it’s been the theological foundation of the letter, and like all good theological journeys Paul leads us to the inevitable destination - WORSHIP.Head to Heart to Hands

In order to encourage our growing trust in God, Paul describes more specifically God’s eternal plan. Comprehending God’s plan will move us to celebrate, dedicate and anticipate.

Gods plan of salvation is humbling 

The mystery of God’s plan of salvation includes both the rejection and inclusion of his first covenant people. If their sin led to our saving how much more will their salvation mean for us and the world?
