This is Hunter from Daily Radio Bible, and I'm excited to share with you the highlights and insights from today's podcast episode titled, "Confident Hope in Christ."
🎧 Episode 336 Recap:
Today, we journeyed through Romans chapters 13-16, reflecting on Paul's profound words to the early church. Here's a glimpse of what we discussed:
Living Under Authority: Romans 13 reminds us of the importance of submitting to governing authorities, as all authority is established by God. It urges us to live honorable lives, love our neighbors, and fulfill God's law through love.
Acceptance and Unity: In Romans 14-15, Paul emphasizes accepting fellow believers, regardless of their differing convictions about food and sacred days. He encourages us to live in harmony, aiming for unity and building each other up.
Paul's Mission and Ministry: Romans 15-16 provides insights into Paul's missionary journeys, his zeal for spreading the Gospel, and his heartfelt greetings to fellow workers in Christ. He commends various individuals for their dedication and service.
A Prayer for Hope: We concluded with Paul's prayer from Romans 15: "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit."
Throughout the episode, we were reminded of the centrality of Christ in our lives and the confident hope we have in Him. It's a hope that sustains us, fills us with joy, and empowers us to live out our calling with boldness and love.
TODAY'S PRAYERS:
Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.
Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen
And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.
TRANSCRIPT:
Let's end this with Paul's prayer from Romans 15, where he says, I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. And to that I say, amen. That's Paul's heart and why he's written. He wants God's people to live with confident hope even in the midst of persecution. He wants them to remember what they already know, the gospel of Christ. He wants them to remember to live out the gospel through the power of the Holy Spirit. The only person that can
Be confident in Him. Let the reality of his work in life in you fill you with confident hope. May we all press forward in this confidence that we find in Christ, his abiding life in us. Regardless of what we encounter in this life, whether things given or things taken away through it all, may we be able to stand in confident hope, not in ourselves or circumstances, but entirely on him, through him. He is thoroughly good, completely able. He works things out according to his own purposes in his plans, and they're all done for our good. Be confident of that. That's the truth.
