If you get one, or both of these issues wrong…then you will be sent inward for your assurance.
If you have a proper understanding of both, then you can forget about looking inward and instead look outside of yourself…to God…and HAVE REAL ASSURANCE.
Listen to this one:>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Instead of having a nice party, the Holy Spirit led Jesus out into the wilderness to meet…the devil.
Well, that’s a fine ‘how do ya do’ for the Son of God.
What then does this mean for you, and where you are being led by the Spirit? What does this mean for your Baptism?

Quite an interesting and informative class on how differing Christian traditions view ‘faith’.
In this class, Pastor Mark is focusing mostly on the differences between the Lutheran understanding, and the Roman Catholic understanding.

If you haven’t listened to part 1 of this class (the previous post), you probably should do that first, then this part will make more sense to you.

St. Paul. Origen. Augustine. Luther. How to find a God of grace and mercy? Reading St. Paul through a legal scheme, and why most churches today still do that.
This is one class that you should listen to, if at all possible.
Whether you agree with everything in it is not the point. But that you’ll have a greater understanding of why we believe as we do and why we hold to the pure gospel as God’s will for sinners, apart from anything that we do.

They went up on top of the mountain to pray…and then suddenly all Heaven broke loose.
Listen in and have the Word of God actually done to you…in law…and gospel:

This may be hard for you to hear. Many won’t like what they hear. But what else are we to say? The hard truth about ourselves and the hard truth about what we will face. And then a word of hope:

An under 15 minute ‘quick hitter’. If you like it…pass it around. If you don’t care for it…pass it around anyway…for it is the truth and it may be just what someone you know needs to hear.

I think I’ll call these short outtakes, ‘quick hitters’. Here’s a ‘quick hitter’ with a bit about “putting on Christ” (Baptism)…and then how important it is to distinguish the law from the gospel and the purpose of each.
This ‘quick hitter’ is under 8 minutes long. Perfect to send to someone who may just be learning about some of these important theological issues in our faith. Or…as a good refresher or reminder to someone like me, who constantly needs to hear it.

This one is under 10 minutes. It’s a portion of the class on Galatians, but can stand on it’s own, as you will hear:
