Is Evangelism the Ultimate Purpose of the Christian Life or Maybe is it the Main Purpose of a Church?

evangelism, Evangelistic preaching, Purpose

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates answer a question about purpose and evangelism. They say that evangelism is a purpose rather than the purpose of the Christian life. Despite it’s importance, evangelism is not the purpose of the local church. Evangelism should naturally be a part of daily living in our circles of living–friends, family, and influence– and not a legalistic block that you check off a checklist every day. Ultimately, we are to glorify God. Many things (and how we carry ourselves as we do them) can be ways to do this. Certainly, evangelism is one of them. Please join us on this episode.

As a Result of Obedience to Christ, Will Women also be Rewarded to Rule With Christ in the Kingdom–or Just Men?

2 Tim 2:12., Heb 11, Partners with Christ, Rev 21:24, Reward, Women Ruling

Welcome to Grace in Focus Radio. Today, we look at a question concerning women ruling in the Kingdom. What will the whole Kingdom-ruling structure look like?

Obviously, there are a lot of factors and a lot of things concerning the future which are yet unknown. But it is an interesting discussion you will not want to miss. So join Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates right here for today’s podcast.

Did Jesus Ever Call Himself God? Also: Does the Word “Life” in Greek take on Different Meanings in the Gospels Due to the Intent of the Authors?

Join Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates for this important and interesting discussion.

The Meaning and Application of Deuteronomy 30:15-19

1 Pet 1:21 Choice, 2 Cor 5:2-4, 2 Tim 3:16, Choose Blessing, Cursing, Death, Deut 30:14-19, Inspiration, Life, peace, Rom 6:23, Rom 8:6, Scripture

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. This episode is the conclusion to the Deuteronomy series. As Moses is about to die, he tells this generation, about to enter the land, “You’re going into the land, and here are your options.” The options were “life and good,” or “death and evil.” These choices are not about Heaven and Hell, but about here and now. And therefore, once again we see the applicability of this Ancient OT book to you and me. What choices! Which will you choose? We are sure this is a discussion you will find helpful, interesting and very much in support of free-grace theology.

The Meaning and Application of Deuteronomy 29:29

2 Pet 1:3, 2 Tim 3:16, Deut 29:18, Deut 29:9-15, Duet 29:29, Heb 12:15, Revealed Things, Root of Bitterness, Secret Things, Wormwood

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, continuing in Deuteronomy, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates look at a passage that often gets misused, Deuteronomy 29:29. There are often claims of “secret knowledge” in Christianity today. We should be very careful about how we regard others who may say, “God speaks to me…”; “What is God saying to you?”; “Special Knowledge” etc., having implications such as, “This is something God has told me, but you don’t know about it…I have an inside track with God.” This can be a form of superiority, mysticism or even sorcery, actually. Everything that Israel needed and everything that we need to be blessed, satisfied and rightly related to God, has been revealed in God’s Word. We have it already! We need not look elsewhere or be on a quest for some other special secret! We hope you join Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates as they have this timely conversation about the meaning of this important verse.
