Paul has more insight and mystery to reveal to those who are in Christ. He wants them to know about a mystery that had been hidden up until that point, but he was about to make it known. This mystery that is being revealed is beyond comprehension. The vastness of the wealth we have been given in Christ is too big to grasp. When we understand scripture the way God intended when He inspired man to write it down, it will take us to a deeper understanding, love and intimacy in our relationship with ...

Those who were far from God, have been brought near. All people are invited to believe in the promises of God and partake of the blessings. Jesus has taken us out of the kingdom of darkness and placed us into the kingdom of light, but what does that actually mean in reality? Paul wanted them and us to understand. He is reaching out to people who were looking for answers. His message was a message of hope and redemption. To all who are in darkness, come. Come into the light and knowledge of the L...

Ephesians tells us that God made dead people alive. How does He do that and what is our part? God mentions disobedience and some scary consequences for those who don’t do what He says. Or is that the really the definition of disobedience and how can I know so I am sure I understand truth? Many people are of the opinion that we should keep grace in check and not get out of balance, but Paul didn’t have that attitude and it isn’t the message he imparted to his readers. Let’s seek to understand thi...

We have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places and yet sometimes it seems as if our reality is far from that. Paul had an inheritance he wants us to know about so God had him write a letter to the Ephesians and preserve it so it will also enrich our lives today. As the wealthiest people on the planet, living with a poverty mindset is unacceptable if we are going to enjoy our inheritance. Being able to identify and clearly claim our rightful inheritance, begins with kno...

Paul tells us in Ephesians we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. When we walk in the reality of that truth, we experience the blessings we have been left. Too many of God’s people are living in poverty when they are the wealthiest people on planet earth. Understanding the riches that belong to those in Christ is overwhelming and can override any darkness or despair painful experiences in this life can bring. Let’s begin an exploration of understanding the tru...

Are we waiting for a temple to be built or are we the temple? Understanding the teachings from Jesus and Paul, we can understand more about who we are rather than what we are to do. We should be functioning more from our new identity and less about following rules and traditions. What is the difference in the old covenant relationship with God and how it is for us today? Has God provided something so much better, and we want Moses and the Law instead? How do I know if I am the temple? It is so i...

Life is difficult sometimes and the pain we experience can seem overwhelming. Many are lonely, confused, depressed, addicted, hopeless and angry. We need answers in this life and we need to know where to go. The world promises answers and others are available for hire. We can go to people, places and things first and miss out on where we really need to go to get the help we need. We live in a kingdom the people in the old testament writings only dreamed of and we may not realize it. If we have a...

Gaining and losing rewards can be a mindset from where we habitually operate. This stems from a root of fear and a misunderstanding of the finished work of Christ. Today we look at the topic of losing rewards if we fall short of God’s expectations or requirements. What is our assurance of our inheritance and how can we begin to enjoy it today? There is a rest available for God’s people and the truths we will discuss today will help us to experience it in our personal lives not just something we ...

Are we able to obtain eternal rewards in this lifetime? Some teachings lead us to believe the more money we give to building the kingdom of God, the more money God will give us as a reward. God sent us the apostle Paul to teach about life in the new covenant and he tells us God wants us to be joyful in our giving but sometimes that is difficult. What can we learn from Paul and be sure we have a proper perspective of what he meant when he said, “Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also rea...

Understanding the dividing line in human history is very important. The world goes by a calendar marked by the birth of Christ but God goes by the death of Christ. The death of Christ brought in a new covenant and understanding when the old covenant was over and the new covenant began, will bring us freedom in our mind. We will understand more what God expects from us and leave the dead works behind that get us nowhere. God is building a family with those who believe what He said about His Son a...

Today on the Grace at LAST podcast Corinne continues her conversation with Brad Robertson from GraceReach. The conversation began in episode 70, Sharing the Gospel of Grace with Brad Robertson. After discussing the gospel of grace, the conversation turned toward Brad's book; Nebuchadnezzar's Dream. We explored the possibility of the wrath of God most believers think is in the future and known as The Great Tribulation, could have been God's wrath poured out on Israel in AD70 when the Romans destr...

Today on the Grace at LAST podcast Corinne had the pleasure of having a conversation with Brad Robertson, founder of GraceReach. We talked about the gospel and some of the things that might prevent it from spreading like the good news that it is. Also, Brad recently wrote a book on Nebuchadnezzar's Dream and we discussed a perspective that maybe we haven't thought of before. Could we possibly be waiting for the tribulation and judgments from God in the last days that have already come and gone? ...

Today on our Grace at LAST podcast we continue our look at the gospel. Paul did not waver from his focus, the gospel of grace. He made a commitment and fulfilled what the Lord called him to do. He said nothing else mattered. So, what did Paul have to say about the gospel and what should we understand? Have we gotten our focus on unessential matters while ignoring the most important; the gospel? Understanding the power of the gospel is life changing. I am so glad you joined in today to see what w...

What is the gospel and how does it change everything? Our lives are built on a single event, the gospel. It all begins there and understanding the impact it has in our lives will deliver us from fear, worry, shame and guilt. Depression, anxiety and other destructive mindsets can cause us trouble if we do not understand the gospel. Let’s uncover the truths we find in scripture to help us better understand this word and how to experience the power of it in our lives today. These things and more on...

Today on the Grace at LAST podcast we talk about the teaching that keeps us immature. Why is the body of Christ in the condition we are in and what can we do about it? We look at Hebrews 5:11-6:2 to see what the author meant when he said the people were babies, drinking milk and remaining weak and childish? What can we learn from these people and how can we avoid the consequences being unaware might bring into our lives? The Pharisees had rituals and ceremonies in place to be spiritual but what ...

Sharing the gospel of grace can be discouraging at times. We want the people we care about to see what we see; we want that for them. Unfortunately, it is rarely received in a positive way. We can become discouraged and even give up all together. We can decide it’s easier to just avoid the people or the conversations. Today on the Grace at LAST podcast we look at the apostle Paul and how he dealt with the discouragement that came with sharing the message of grace. Did he think it was worth it an...

Today on the Grace at LAST podcast we look at Law and Grace to continue to renew our minds to believe what God has said is true. We look at the different covenants and the scriptures that help us to see what God wants us to see. The Law of Moses, traditions, rules, commandments, requirements and other external practices can be taught to us as if they are relevant for us, but is that true? If it is not true, which part? How do I know? How am I to live? These questions and more on today’s Grace at...

Today on our Grace at LAST podcast we ask the question “Should I fear God?” There are scriptures that imply I should but fearing God seems inconsistent with the foundational truths of the new covenant, total and complete forgiveness. Today we begin our discussion with Paul appealing to work out our salvation with fear and trembling that we read about in Philippians 2:12. What can understand by this comment and what is the context surrounding this sentence? Does God want me to work, sweat and fea...

Today on our Grace at LAST podcast we look at where the dividing line is with the old and new covenant. Additions have been made to our Bibles in an effort “to help us” identify locations of certain words and truths. Title Pages, Chapters, Verses, Table of Contents, have all been added by a publishing company. While that may be helpful in some ways, there are precautions we should be mindful of when navigating through scripture. Does understanding the dividing line of the old and new covenant re...

Today on our Grace at LAST podcast we look at where our teaching got off and Law and Grace mixture became the norm for our churches today. Where did it begin and what was passed down so that the line between God’s covenant with people before and after the cross became so fuzzy? Are we required to do what our leaders tell us to do and how do we know when we should listen to their words and follow ,or resist.? If I can’t accept the teaching in churches today, what can I do and where can I go to gr...

Today on our Grace at LAST podcast we look at scriptures that are used to control people. Many times we are mistaught or taken out of context certain verses and it may put ourselves or others under bondage that is not of God. Many times, we are told we need to ask for forgiveness and obey our leaders that teach us the Bible. All of that is in the Bible but when it is taught to those who are in Christ and Christ is in them, they become false teaching. Hebrews 13 says to obey our leaders and this ...

Today we look at the Pharisees of Jesus’ day and see what we can learn. Jesus had a lot of emotions toward these people that were supposed to represent God. He did not seem to be pleased with them at all as they enforced their rules and for profit pressure upon the people. The scribes knew the scriptures as well as anyone, the chief priests were the mediator for God and the people and they took advantage and abused those they felt superior over. How does God feel about all of this and are we req...

Today on our Grace at LAST podcast we explore some prayers that are common in “the church” and ask the question “Is this relevant for me today?” If we waste our time praying futile prayers that are not applicable for me today, what purpose is my prayer? If I don’t understand how God wants to have a relationship with me and I believe things are for me that are not, could I be missing out on what He actually wants for me? Are all the fads, devotionals, T-shirts, bracelets and car plaques really of...

Today on our Grace at LAST podcast we look at old covenant prayers that keep us in bondage. Believing lies is bondage and when we believe God is dealing with us the same way He did before Jesus came, it will keep us from experiencing the fullness of what is provided toward those who believe. Continuing to clarify the lines of the old and new covenant is important as we seek understanding of what God is saying to us through the scriptures. Context is everything, let’s put verses into context and ...

Today on Grace at LAST podcast we look at forgiveness and if we can ask for it? Is there any harm in acknowledging our sin and telling God how sorry we are if it makes us feel better? Afterall, we all sin and we must do something about it, right? We can’t just carry on as if it didn’t happen and take sin lightly. To have an accurate answer to these valid questions, we must start with a foundational truth and build from there. So how do I know? What do I do? These questions and more on today’s Gr...

Women, children and other people groups are considered to be weaker and that can open the door to be controlled.

Today on the Grace at LAST podcast we continue to look at the role women play in the church. We look at Jesus’ perspective of women and see what Paul had to say after the cross and resurrection.

What is our role as women and what should the men understand when it comes to the Father’s heart regarding His creation, the woman.
