Vintage Truth Podcast

As believers, we are obviously "in" this world, but like our Lord, we are not "of" it. So, since that's true, how do we navigate the tension of living in a wicked culture and in the midst of perilous, prophetic times? How can we adopt a healthy mindset regarding our role and involvement with culture and non-Christians. Jeff explains from John 17.

In the final night before His crucifixion, Jesus poured out His heart to the Father. In that prayer, He expresses the accomplishment of having given the Father's Word to his disciples. But what exactly did that mean? What "Word" did He give? How much of it did they get? And what effect did it have on their lives? In this episode, Jeff explains the critical importance of the Bible for present-day disciples living in the end times.

In His high priestly prayer, Jesus makes a bold claim before the Father, and in doing so reveals to us a great deal about who He is, His mission, and His eternal objective.

What does it mean to be "kept" by Jesus? And why are His disciples His highest priority? Jesus' prayer in John 17 gives us the answers in this week's podcast.

In the "Real" Lord's Prayer, Jesus reveals His heart concerning both His relationship to the Father and His mission to the disciples. What did he want them to believe? What did He want them to know? And did He succeed in His mission?

What if you could know exactly what Jesus was thinking and feeling on the night before He was crucified? What was on His mind? WHO was on His mind? That's what John 17 uncovers for us. In His prayer to the Father, Jesus not only pours out His heart, but also reveals a wealth of theology and truth.

Many who claim to believe in the Bible also say it cannot be trusted when it comes to science. That, they say, should be left to the "experts" (aka secular scientists). But is that fair to God? If God is perfect and His Bible inerrant, wouldn't we expect Him to also be accurate when speaking about scientific facts? And is it possible that the Bible has more to say about science than we originally thought?

Did God mean for us to take the Genesis narrative literally? Did He really create the world in 6, 24-hour days? Or is it merely symbolic. And what does all this have to do with your faith, and the rest of the Bible? What are the implications? Just how important is this issue??

For over a century, mankind has been fed a steady diet of fake news regarding the origins of humankind. But what may surprise you is just how much of their evolutionary narrative is simply made up lies. In this podcast, Jeff exposes the lies of evolutionary "evidence," while at the same time providing biblical reasons why the oxymoronic "Theistic Evolution" is also a grand deception. In other words, can a Christian believe in evolution?

The Bible is under attack from all sides, and even from within the Church itself. But among the most critical battlegrounds in this war is the very first book of Scripture - Genesis. Can the creation account be trusted? Or is it simply a "metaphorical narrative?" At stake here is the Christian faith itself. For if the Bible cannot be trusted, how can we be sure anything we read in its pages is true? Jeff begins this informative series that will strengthen your faith in the Word of God and its credibility.

As the world darkens and evil strengthens, the temptation is to weaken and give in and give up in defeat. But desperate days demand devoted disciples. Now is not the time to hold back or shrink back. Jesus is looking for those who will follow Him with a whole heart and not slouch and slumber their way to the finish line. And in John 6, He shows us how.

What does it look like to be "desperate for God?" To so be between the proverbial "rock and a hard place" that unless God shows up, it's "game over" for you? This week's message explores a marginalized woman's one chance to connect with Jesus on behalf of her daughter. It's a story that may move you to tears, but will for sure inspire you towards exercising great faith in God!

As America unapologetically celebrates "Pride Month," Jeff takes a deep dive into this sin of pride, what God says about it, where it ultimately leads, and how we can overcome it.

Storms come. Winds blow. Waves crash against your boat. But Jesus is asleep. Or at least it seems He is. So what do we do when God seems silent in our storm? How do we navigate the winds and the waves in life that God just won't calm? And how should we respond when He does?

Have you ever contemplated what it takes to truly satisfy God and the requirements of His righteousness? And what does this truth tell us about who God is and how we should worship Him?

When contemplating God's infinite ability, sometimes our minds can become disoriented in the thin air of the "theological stratosphere." In this episode, Jeff breaks down some lofty truths, helping us understand how practical God's great sovereignty really is!

You only thought God's sovereignty blew your mind in the last episode. Now, straight from Scripture, Jeff unpacks the deep truths regarding how God reigns over, and even uses, the sin of man for His own glory! Yes, He is THAT sovereign!

After Adam and Eve fell, they began experiencing some horrific side effects from their sin. But what were some of them? And how do we still suffer from them today? Further, how did they respond to their new condition? And more importantly, what did God do about it?

So Eve listened, Adam lagged. And sin entered the world. But what was the immediate fallout? How did it affect them? And what can we learn from this historic tragedy?

Our culture is drowning in a sea of lies. So how can we recognize the deception that surrounds us? Jeff explains in today's teaching.

Paul concludes his epistle to the Galatian believers with some reminders and some wise counsel.

Paul teaches an important (and rewarding) principle about supporting those who preach and teach the Word of God to us.

What did Paul mean when he commanded us to carry the burdens of fellow Christians? What exactly is our responsibility to other Christians with regard to their problems? Jeff explains in today's podcast.

How are we to respond when a fellow believer falls into sin? What is our responsibility? Do we condemn? Ignore? Pray? Excommunicate? What doe the most spiritual in the church do? Pail has the answer for us in this week's message.

So what specifically is the relationship between the Spirit and the old sin nature? How are we to view our sin nature? How do we overcome it, and do it consistently? Lastly, what does Paul mean when he tells us to "walk by the Spirit?" This is one of the most critical and practical skills we can ever learn in our Christian lives.

The downward pull of the old self can be powerful, even overwhelming at times. So what does it look like in real life? And what can I do to overcome it? And if I walk in the Spirit, what will I see happen in my heart and life?

Now that we have freedom in Christ, how do we manage it? And what does it mean to "walk in the Spirit?" This is one of the most critical spiritual life skills we can ever learn. Listen in and learn to walk!

What trips us up as we run for God? What hinders us? How do we respond to differing views and false teaching within the church? And what did Paul REALLY think of false teachers? Oh boy . . .

Can Christians lose their salvation? Would God ever remove His grace from His children? And not, what does Paul mean in Galatians 5:4 that some people have "fallen from grace?" And how can we understand our relationship to God's Law? Jeff explains in today's podcast.

In the Christian world, Mary has been ignored, immortalized, and even "deified," exalted to almost god-like status. But who was this young woman? What was she really like? What does the Bible actually say? And what about her character and spirit can we emulate and follow? Listen in and be amazed at the real story of Mary!

Some people cringe when you mention "freedom in Christ," fearful that people will abuse God's grace. But what does Paul say? What is "freedom in Christ?" And how do we respond to the voices of legalism today? Jeff explains in today's podcast.

Paul tells an ancient story in order to teach us a contemporary lesson about the Old Testament Law and our present relationship to God.

The Galatians were slipping, sliding back into their old ways. Paul, in one of his most heartfelt appeals, begs them to not go back, but to move forward into Christlikeness.

So many believers find themselves still "stuck" under the Law, beating themselves up because they can't quite be "good enough." If that's ever been your experience, then this episode is for YOU!

How does understanding God's work in you radically change the way you view God, yourself, and your relationship with Him? And why is it so critical that you "believe?" Paul guides the Galatian Christians towards a pure faith in Jesus.

A familiar verse, but what does it actually mean? Does it mean we no longer sin? How is our relationship with Jesus enhanced because we are "crucified" with Him? Jeff explains in this podcast.
