Edgar Andrews’ Onefootinglory Podcast

This penetrating message explores John 1:1–18, answering the question, “Where did Jesus come from?” using five key points: Jesus as the eternal Word/Logos and Creator, the light, life and love he brings, the testimony of witnesses, the incarnation, and Jesus as the ultimate revelation of God’s nature, grace and truth. The sermon links John’s prologue with Genesis 1, highlights the Trinitarian nature of creation, and explains how Jesus’ incarnation reveals God’s heart toward humanity and salvation by grace alone through faith in Christ.

Paul stands before an angry crowd in Jerusalem, retelling his zealous past, his sudden conversion on the Damascus road, and the visions that called him to preach Christ.

The six verses in 1 Corinthians 1:26–31 provide profund insights into the spiritual nature of a local church and its members. A biblical local church is one composd of people who have been chosen by God, irresistably called to faith in Christ, and are "base" ... knowing they can do nothing to earn salvation so that the glory of their salvation belongs to Christ alone, who is our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.

False accusations generate suspicion which in turn creates division, and our modern world is swamped by this phenomenon. Read any newspaper or watch any news broadcast! But it's not altogether new, for Acts 21:15–36 recounts how Paul’s arrival in Jerusalem caused a riot because he was falsely accused of crimes against the Jewish law and was only rescued from the mob by Roman soldiers.. The passage shows that only faith in Christ is capable of permanently uniting opposites. We also see how Paul, like his Master before him, risked his life to bring this message of unity to all peoples.

We can often explain obscure passages in the Old Testament by verses and statements in the New Testament. In other words, we read the Old Testament through the eyes of the New, as we should. But we may not appreciate that it's a two-way road. Not only can we understand difficult and obscure things in the Old Testament by appeal to the New but there are occasions when things taught in the New Testament can be amplified and even clarified by passages in the Old, demonstrating that Old and New Testaments are all the Word of God. Here we illustrate how an Old Testament passage helps us understand the full implications of a New Testament passage, reading Romans 12:1–2 through the eyes of Psalm 1. .
