Forgivin' Livin' Daily Podcast
Our podcasts are 5-8 minutes in length. We create these messages using one or two brief verses from the Bible that come from a devotional book. Our purpose is to help you hear the grace of Jesus in these verses so that your life may find its grounding in Christ alone. It is this grounding in grace that makes forgivin’ livin’ your way of freedom.

00( Theta)Simple Faith (Genesis 12:1,3 & Galatians 3:9) (Faith)
The Lord told Abram that through him, God would bless all the families of the earth. At the time there weren’t 8 billion people alive in all kinds of families. But God said “all the families from now on will be blessed through you.” We who believe in the God who saves the ungodly are among those blessed through this man. So rest in the faith God has given you to know that our Lord has blessed you like Abraham in spite of everything you know about yourself. And He will bless others through you.

00Jesus Comes To Your Imperfect House (Psalm 10:17; Luke 19:5 6)
When Jesus makes his home in us, he does the housecleaning that is necessary for him to dwell with us. Some habits may change but our inclination to sin and to disobey God is still in our house. It may be in the basement, but it’s there. Zacheus and Martin Luther both knew the depravity of their condition and they both depended on the goodness of their Lord to live with them in this depraved condition. Luther wrote a letter to his friend George Spenlein in 1516, reflecting this condition. “Beware, my brother, at aiming at a purity which rebels against being classed with sinners. For Christ only dwells among sinners. For this He came from heaven, where He dwelt among saints…If He, thy Lord, had only lived among the good, or had died only for His friends, for whom then would He have died, or with whom could He have lived?” So know that your foundation of faith is Jesus who dwells within your sinful self in all your wicked, selfish, sneaky ways. Jesus is with you.

00(Irishcast) Nothing Is Impossible With God (Job 42v2 Luke 1v37) (Hope)
Jesus brings hope to the hopeless. He never leaves us alone. No matter what our situation, the love of God has been poured into our hearts and that is permanent; our problems are always temporary (from Romans 5:5 which is the text above). When we dwell in God’s promises, our hope in Christ is renewed. We realize that He truly is always present in our lives, and hope abounds. Hope is God’s gift to you. Rest in those words of our Lord which help you experience hope in God. You will be assured of that enduring and unshakeable foundation which is the rock on which your life is built. This foundation of hope ultimately leads you to greater endurance and a deeper faith.

00(Mission Cast) Making And Keeping Promises (1 Kings 8:24; 1 Thessalonians 5:24) (Faith)
Mim is traveling in the Midwest for China Service Ventures. Today Jeff explores the idea of making and keeping promises. We all make promises and, unfortunately, we make some that we cannot keep or have not intention of keeping. Sometimes we truly want to keep our promises but fail because of circumstances or our own inability to do what we said we would do. A broken promise, depending upon its quality and nature, can be devastating to the relationship. We all make promises that we cannot keep; however, God makes promises is both faithful and powerful to fulfill this promises. Think of his great promises of eternal life to all who believe in his Son, Jesus Christ! When we break promises, we can confess our sin and be forgiven. We we suffer broken promises, we can forgive and renew the relationship all by God’s grace. We take comfort in knowing that nothing can separate us from God’s love in Christ. Maybe we can extend the same grace to each other?

00(Theta) All Done (Psalm 66:5 & Matthew 8:13) (Law And Gospel)
Nathan and the Theta interns walk us through a dynamic understanding of law (“thou shalt” or “you must”) with that of the gospel message (Christ has done it all for you). As you reflect on these texts and listen to the podcast, consider what it means for you to take your hands off the wheel and leave the driving to Jesus. He’s your green light God.
