Galatians Part 7: The Fruit of the Spirit and the Deeds of the Flesh

Rob and Vinnie dive into Galatians 5, exploring the contrast between the deeds of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. They discuss how Paul’s list of sinful behaviors was meant to be viewed collectively rather than as isolated wrongs, challenging the Galatians' sense of superiority over others. Paul’s emphasis on the fruit of the Spirit wasn’t about rigid moralism but about the freedom found in Christ. But what does it truly mean to live by the Spirit and bear its fruit? Rob and Vinnie break down each aspect of this passage, offering practical insights on how the Church today can embody Spirit-led living

Galatians Part 6: The Fruit of the Spirit (part 1)

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie discuss Galatians 5 and the Fruit of the Spirit. They address questions such as: "What if I stumble and live according to the deeds of the Flesh?: "Doesn't it say that if we live according to the flesh we will not inherit the kingdom?" In this first discussion of the Fruit of the Spirit, Rob and Vinnie examine the Fruit of the Spirit in light of Paul's message to the churches of Galatia. They address the passage from the perspective of the text and from a pastoral perspective. Plus you won't want to miss Rob's singing performance! And what a performance it was--very (un)forgettable.

Galatian Part 3: The Gospel to Abraham?

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie continue their overview of the book of Galatians by looking at Paul's response to his opponents in Galatia. Paul explains that membership into the community of God's people is not through the "works of the Law" but by Faith in Christ. He then notes that this is what was preached to Abraham! Paul even says that "the Gospel" was preached to Abraham (Gal 3:8). 

Rob and Vinnie then discuss what this means for the Jewish people today. And what about Muslims and Hindus who come to faith in Christ.

The Xmas Story: Its Meaning and Significance for Today

The Xmas story circulating many churches this holiday season has taken the shape of our Western, individualistic, and consumeristic understanding. In this episode, Rob and Vinnie set the record straight (well, they attempt to) by looking at Luke 2. The Xmas (no, this is not taking the "Christ" out of "Christmas"--they discuss this also) is a critical part of the Christian story, and its meaning for us today is also vital. We hope you enjoy the show--and btw Vinnie gets carried away with Danny jokes but Danny gave his approval!

Galatians Part 1: Understanding Galatians and its contemporary relevance

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie provide an introduction to the background of the book of Galatians. They discuss the fragile situation behind the acceptance of Gentiles (non-Jews) in the covenant community and some of the difficulties that ensued in the early church. This background is critical to understanding Galatians and many of the books of the NT. 

PS. Rob and Vinnie are aware that they are having too much fun producing the podcast, and they are working to rectify the situation
