SA Ep97 - Nearer to Thee - Wash Thyself

In this episode, we begin the series Drawing Nearer to Thee by looking at the first step in drawing closer to Christ: being freshly cleansed. From Ruth 3:3, Naomi told Ruth, “Wash thyself therefore,” before she went to the feet of Boaz, her kinsman redeemer. That simple instruction gives us a powerful picture of the believer’s need for cleansing before enjoying close fellowship with the Lord. We will look at the danger of holding on to sin, the cleansing power of the Word of God, the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ, and the honest confession needed for a believer to walk near the Lord again.

SA Ep96 - Drawing Nearer to Thee - Introduction

Drawing Nearer to Thee is a 5-episode podcast series built from Ruth 3 and the beautiful picture of Ruth coming to Boaz, her kinsman redeemer. Through this Old Testament scene, we see a spiritual pattern for believers who desire a closer walk with Christ. The series will call Christians to be freshly cleansed, fragrantly consecrated, fitly clothed, fully committed, and faithfully compliant. The heart of the series is simple: Christ has redeemed us, but He also invites us to walk near Him. Drifting brings coldness, confusion, weakness, and spiritual danger. Drawing near brings cleansing, peace, strength, joy, obedience, and deeper fellowship with the Lord. The series ends with the blessed truth that our Redeemer receives, reassures, replenishes, and rests only when the work is finished. In Christ, the work of redemption is already done. Now the redeemed are invited to live near the Redeemer.

SA Ep93 - May the Fourth

People say this time of year, “May the fourth be with you.” It is said in fun, but there is a truth far greater than the phrase itself. There truly is a Fourth who is with His people. Not in imagination, not in story, but in reality. When the fire is at its hottest, when the pressure is at its greatest, and when the situation feels beyond control, the child of God is never alone. The question is not whether the fire will come. The question is who will be with you in it.

In this episode, we examine the ordinances of the church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. The Bible teaches that these are acts of obedience given by Christ to His church, serving as public testimony and ongoing remembrance of the Gospel. We will look at what each ordinance represents, what they do and do not accomplish, and why they must remain centered on Christ. These ordinances are not empty rituals. They are powerful pictures of the saving work of Jesus Christ.
