In this month's Bible study, Lt. Colonel Vern Jewett studies the moment Jesus appears to the disciples on the road to Emmaus. After this encounter, the disciples asked each other- “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32) As the holy spirit reaveals His word in scripture, are our hearts burning for the things of God as well?

This podcast begins a short series on The Gift of Holiness. Every believer is indwelt by the Holy Spirit and is thereby made holy. (Romans 8:9) If you are a Christian, you are a saint, a holy one, essentially meaning that you are “set apart for Christ”. That is by virtue of the indwelling Holy Spirit in your life.

The tragedy of modern evangelism is to call many people to faith but few to obedience. Salvation in our Wesleyan heritage includes justification followed by sanctification. The theme of holiness and sanctification includes the entire life of a believer from the moment they receive Christ as Savior until they died. Throughout this study, Lt. Colonel Vern Jewett studies the conversion of the Apostle Paul. To learn more and to download our study guides, visit https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/holi...

In this episode, Lt. Colonel Vern Jewett continues on the topic of possessions. The New Testament has a great deal to say about possessions and wealth. Jesus spoke about money more than any other topic except the kingdom of God. The consistent emphasis of the teaching can be summed up as: Wealth and worldly possessions are a barrier to God.

This podcast begins a series on how holiness is expressed in the lives of Christians as it relates to worldly possessions. Lt. Colonel Jewett suggests that an important foundational principle is that God has provided “enough” resources to provide for the basic needs of everyone. The Christian who lives intimately with God is satisfied with “enough” and lives in stark contrast to a world that serves “mammon” (money) and is driven by greed, excess, entitlement, overconsumption and over productivit...

The story of the call of Abraham recorded in the 12th chapter of Genesis represents the first appearance of God to a person after the Fall of Adam and Eve. The relationship which God establishes with Abram (before his name is changed) is personal and based upon a covenant. The altars which Abram builds are outward expressions of yielding his heart to God's will. It is no surprise to see that the basic principles established in this relationship between God and Abraham are foundational to the Bib...

This podcast addresses God's deep desire to live in communion with His people. The NT text is Hebrews 4:14-16 which describes Jesus as our great high priest. It teaches us that he understands our struggles, having become fully human Himself, and now advocates for us with the Father. Amazingly, we live in the presence of the triune God as the Holy Spirit lives in us. To learn more and download the study guides, visit https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/holiness

This is the first study of a three-part series on holiness and spiritual gifts in I Corinthians 12-14. Paul's teaching on spiritual gifts is in the context of his lengthy teaching on the body of Christ. This study identifies four (4) underlying principles in chapter 12 that serve as practical guidelines for corporate holiness. Although they emerge clearly from the text as foundational to the ministry and life of any congregation, in practice these principles are often obscured by the constant pr...

This is the third lesson in our series on Romans 5-8. In this lesson we see how Paul brings the teaching to a climax with the glorious description of sanctified Christians being “more than conquerors through him that loved us.” (8:28) This affirming picture is contrasted with the tortured struggle of an unsaved person under conviction in chapter 7, mistakenly interpreted by some as referring to a Christian. In contrast, the great truths of chapter 8 declare that Christians need not struggle spir...

Agape Love is the supreme mark of Jesus in a Christian's life. The character transformation which holy living brings is built on and fueled by agape love. This lesson explores agape love and holiness through the lens of Romans 12:9 - “(agape) love must be un-hypocritical.” In other words, let it genuine, without pretense, not phony!

We continue our study in Romans 12 to discover that what God is doing in this passage is character transformation. Paul introduces some character traits that come with this spiritual transformation. These changes help bring about the Christlike character which God desires for all followers of Jesus. God makes these changes and they are no less than spiritual miracles. The first “mark of Jesus” he teaches is humility.

Paul appeals to the Roman Christians to be “living sacrifices” in Romans 12:1,2. These two verses describe a living, holy relationship which God offers but few Christians seemingly experience today. Jesus' redemptive work has changed forever the way Christians worship, discern God's will and please Him. Inward transformation brings spiritual power! This is the first in a series of three studies on Romans 12.
