    Which Angels Long to Look (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    In 1 Peter 1:10–12, salvation is not a familiar idea to take lightly. It is the wonder prophets searched for, apostles proclaimed, and angels still long to look into. Peter writes to Christians facing persecution, grounding their hope in a salvation that was never an afterthought. Old Testament prophets received the promise of grace and searched their own words, trying to understand the Messiah: who He would be, when He would come, and how His sufferings would lead to glory. They knew they were

    The Apostles Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    In a world crowded with political voices, influencers, trusted friends, and constant uncertainty, Jesus and the apostles remain the voices Christians most need to hear. Jesus did not leave His followers without direction when He returned to heaven. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit empowered the apostles at Pentecost, giving them the authority to teach, perform signs that confirmed their message, lead the early churches, and write with God's authority. Their role was not self-appointed or granted

    The Fall of Judas and Rise of Paul — John Mulligan — Jesus chose both men, but their lives moved in opposite directions: one let a cherished weakness rule him; the other, confronted by Christ, gave his whole life to Him. Judas had the same access as the other apostles. He heard Jesus teach, saw the miracles, witnessed His compassion and prayer, and knew who He claimed to be. Yet greed remained an unlocked door. As keeper of the money bag, he stole; then he sought out the chief priests and traded

    Jesus' Inner Circle and You - Part 2 (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    An inner circle normally exists to protect its leader; with Jesus, the protection ran the other way. The question is how the twelve related to Jesus. They began as disciples, followers who imitate, then became apostles, people sent on a mission, handpicked. First, the twelve learned from Jesus. In Matthew 13, after the parable of the sower, the disciples alone asked why He taught in parables and heard: “the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

    Jesus' Inner Circle and You (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Jesus gathered a small, close group around Him, but unlike any other inner circle, He prepared them for a time when the leader would no longer be there. An inner circle is a small group with special access and influence: a president's cabinet, a coach's assistants, the two real friends out of eight hundred. Jesus had His own. As He began preaching that the kingdom of heaven had come near, He picked people out of the crowd, calling Simon Peter and Andrew, then James and John, then Matthew the tax
