“What is the gospel?” Responses continuously return to an inward-looking faith instead of a faith that clings externally to the astonishing mercy of Christ Jesus, who took the sin of the world into Himself on the cross and breathed out His life for and onto His creation. In this act of sacrifice, Jesus is indeed the sacrificial Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. Through His resurrection, Jesus Christ has given His promise of eternal life in Him.

Hey Jude 11/15/2024

Hey Jude This little book is full of deep thoughts and emphasizes a call to sound doctrine. Craig and Troy dig into the book of Jude to find the riches of Jude's writings, the warnings against false teachings and false teachers, and the call to the faith. Jude asks us not to have faith, but to stand firm in the faith. What is the difference? Listen and find out! What’s New from 1517: More from the hosts: /episode/index/show/foryouradio/id/33943687

Part 2 of The Gospel for Those Broken by the Church 09/13/2024

Part 2 of The Gospel for Those Broken by the Church Craig and Troy return to the font of Dr. Rod Rosenbladt's teaching, and in the process we remember why we must continually return to the font of Christ's grace. Though we do not want to sin, nevertheless we still find ourselves doing exactly what we don't want to do. But in that truth there is no despair, for Christ's covering is complete.

Think that was bad? Hold my beer . . . 08/30/2024

Think that was bad? Hold my beer . . . Finally, the end of Judges! Except it's depressing . . . and sad . . . and full of foolishness and falseness and just plain sin. But as Craig and Troy work their way through this mess, they discover a valuable truth: God still has grace for us, and He still keeps His promises.

12 pieces of love 08/16/2024

12 pieces of love IT'S JUST SO CREEPY. Just when you think the world has reached its lowest point, you go and open the bible and see when it was even lower. What does society look like when Jesus can't be found? The book of Judges takes an even darker turn, and Craig and Troy struggle to find Christ in this chapter.

My God that I made 08/12/2024

My God that I made Oh, there is so much to be said on that. Creating a god in your own image never works out the way you think it should. Micah finds out the hard way that even the gods of his own making won't stay with him. Craig and Troy begin to wind down the book of Judges.

"Make an idol for Yahweh!" 08/03/2024

"Make an idol for Yahweh!" . . . which, as you and I (and Craig and Troy) know is a very very bad idea. Why don't the people in the book of Judges recognize the bitter irony in what they say and do? More importantly, why don't you and I see that in ourselves? Craig and Troy continue through the strange and sad book of Judges. What’s New from 1517: /episode/index/show/foryouradio/id/32421482

Sammy, Sammy, Sammy . . . sigh 07/19/2024

Sammy, Sammy, Sammy . . . sigh You know what the most amazing thing about the story of Samson is? It's how we can still see not only glimpses of Jesus' mercy for us, but also His sacrifice for us. Jesus' greatest victory comes from His lowest point. Craig and Troy finish the long, sad, confusing, and at times stupid story of Samson.

Oh Samson, honey, no. Just . . . NO 07/17/2024

Oh Samson, honey, no. Just . . . NO Well, it appears Samson didn't learn his lesson after all. He fights with the strength of the Lord, but forgets the Lord is his strength. When faced with a woman who is obviously trying to find out his secrets, he eventually caves and gives himself over to her. But wasn't he supposed to be given wholly over to the Lord?

There's gotta be an easier way to burn a field 07/05/2024

There's gotta be an easier way to burn a field Once again, Samson feels he's been wronged. And once again, Samson escalates the situation, but this time also comes to realize that he has been chosen as deliverer of Israel. Has Samson finally learned his lesson, or does Samson view God as a means to an end? Craig and Troy continue with the complicated story of the Judges.

Gut honey 06/28/2024

Gut honey So, how many ways can Samson violate his Naziritic vows (that's a question, Samson, not a challenge!)? Samson wants what he is forbidden to have, eats what he should not, thinks with his hormones instead of his brain, and gets mad when the Philistines "plow with his heifer." And STILL, God is using all of this to accomplish His will. What’s New from 1517: More from the hosts: /episode/index/show/foryouradio/id/31865382

Jephthah, the bomb in Gilead 06/16/2024

Jephthah, the bomb in Gilead As Craig and Troy continue through the book of Judges, we encounter Jephthah. Did God raise him up, or was he raised up by men? Did God empower his victory, or did he accomplish through his own might? Did God ask Jephthah for a sacrifice, or did Jephthah offer something God neither requested nor desired?

Gideon: It's complicated 06/07/2024

Gideon: It's complicated Gideon swears that none but God will be the leader of Israel, and then immediately becomes a tyrant. Why does God choose to work through broken vessels?

I dreamed a dream of the 300 05/31/2024

I dreamed a dream of the 300 God always seems to work through that which is least likely to work, so that all glory is ascribed to Him. God sends Gideon and his 300 with their clay assault pots to take out the enemy. Will it work? Will God give Gideon a decisive victory? Fundraiser!

Fleecing God 05/24/2024

Fleecing God Gideon accepts the call of the Lord whole-heartedly . . . well actually no. Gideon's response to the Lord's call is filled with weakness, with fearfulness, and with faithlessness. Can we see ourselves in Gideon's story? But more importantly, how can we see Christ and His work in Gideon's story?

"Hey! Gimme back my sword!" " . . . ohhhh . . . on second thought, go ahead and keep it." Craig and Troy start to work through the Judges. One is a relative of Caleb, one is a sneaky left-hander, and one is a footnote, but all three are used by God to deliver His people not only from their enemies, but even from His wrath.

Don't you judge me Craig and Troy open up a new series on the book of Judges. The who, what, when, why of a judge is all addressed. Why do the people seem to always follow the cycle of stupid, and what can we learn about ourselves from this? More importantly, what can we learn about Christ?
