The apostle Paul was quick to both acknowledge and reflect upon the troubles of life which came his way in serving the Lord Jesus Christ. Especially in II Corinthians, Paul is focused upon the messiness of life and the faithfulness of God to sustain His children through all manner of troubles and challenges. Our textual passage in II Cor. 4:16-18 is a representative capsule of truth addressed to Christians about how to face life's difficulties. We were told by Jesus to expect them (John 16:33 “...in this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world”). This lesson outlines how God works through the various dimensions of our life to keep us spiritually strong and fruitful!

In this month's Bible study, Lt. Colonel Vern Jewett studies the moment Jesus appears to the disciples on the road to Emmaus. After this encounter, the disciples asked each other- “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32) As the holy spirit reaveals His word in scripture, are our hearts burning for the things of God as well?

This podcast begins a short series on The Gift of Holiness. Every believer is indwelt by the Holy Spirit and is thereby made holy. (Romans 8:9) If you are a Christian, you are a saint, a holy one, essentially meaning that you are “set apart for Christ”. That is by virtue of the indwelling Holy Spirit in your life.

The tragedy of modern evangelism is to call many people to faith but few to obedience. Salvation in our Wesleyan heritage includes justification followed by sanctification. The theme of holiness and sanctification includes the entire life of a believer from the moment they receive Christ as Savior until they died. Throughout this study, Lt. Colonel Vern Jewett studies the conversion of the Apostle Paul.   To learn more and to download our study guides, visit https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/holiness  

In this episode, Lt. Colonel Vern Jewett continues on the topic of possessions. The New Testament has a great deal to say about possessions and wealth. Jesus spoke about money more than any other topic except the kingdom of God. The consistent emphasis of the teaching can be summed up as: Wealth and worldly possessions are a barrier to God.

This podcast begins a series on how holiness is expressed in the lives of Christians as it relates to worldly possessions. Lt. Colonel Jewett suggests that an important foundational principle is that God has provided “enough” resources to provide for the basic needs of everyone. The Christian who lives intimately with God is satisfied with “enough” and lives in stark contrast to a world that serves “mammon” (money) and is driven by greed, excess, entitlement, overconsumption and over productivity.

The story of the call of Abraham recorded in the 12th chapter of Genesis represents the first appearance of God to a person after the Fall of Adam and Eve. The relationship which God establishes with Abram (before his name is changed) is personal and based upon a covenant. The altars which Abram builds are outward expressions of yielding his heart to God's will. It is no surprise to see that the basic principles established in this relationship between God and Abraham are foundational to the Biblical call to God's people to live holy lives. The call to obedient faith and the importance of the altar are evidence of our allegiance to God. The call to holy living in I Peter 1:15-19 and 2:9-11 is examined in light of the story of Abraham.   To download the study guide visit https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/holiness

This podcast addresses God's deep desire to live in communion with His people. The NT text is Hebrews 4:14-16 which describes Jesus as our great high priest. It teaches us that he understands our struggles, having become fully human Himself, and now advocates for us with the Father. Amazingly, we live in the presence of  the triune God as the Holy Spirit lives in us. To learn more and download the study guides, visit https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/holiness

“This lesson is about spiritual power. The source of all spiritual power is divine love. This agapic love (from the NT word agape) is supernatural. It unleashes spiritual power through every spiritual gift by means of the Holy Spirit within a believer.” To learn more and to download the study guide visit https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/holiness

This is the first study of a three-part series on holiness and spiritual gifts in I Corinthians 12-14. Paul's teaching on spiritual gifts is in the context of his lengthy teaching on the body of Christ. This study identifies four (4) underlying principles in chapter 12 that serve as practical guidelines for corporate holiness.   Although they emerge clearly from the text as foundational to the ministry and life of any congregation, in practice these principles are often obscured by the constant pressure of church activities. They are simply stated as follows: God desires that in the body of Christ there are no independent people, no unimportant people, no self-made people and no stagnant people.   To learn more and to download this month's study guide, visit https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/holiness

This is the third lesson in our series on Romans 5-8. In this lesson we see how Paul brings the teaching to a climax with the glorious description of sanctified Christians being “more than conquerors through him that loved us.” (8:28) This affirming picture is contrasted with the tortured struggle of an unsaved person under conviction in chapter 7, mistakenly interpreted by some as referring to a Christian. In contrast, the great truths of chapter 8 declare that Christians need not struggle spiritually because of the indwelling, empowering Holy Spirit.
