In this podcast episode, we dive into Acts 10:4-5, where the story of Cornelius reveals a profound truth: Even though Cornelius was a righteous man, he still needed the gospel. His good deeds and heartfelt devotion weren’t enough to secure salvation. This passage challenges the common belief that being “good” is all we need to find favor with God.While Cornelius’ actions showed a sincere desire to seek the Lord, God made it clear that hearing the gospel and accepting Jesus Christ as Lord is the only way to salvation. We unpack the message that our good works are not a substitute for the gospel. They are a reflection of our faith, but the message of Christ is essential for salvation.In this video, we discuss why righteousness without Christ is incomplete, and how every person, no matter their works, must hear and accept the gospel message to experience the fullness of God’s grace. Don’t miss out on this eye-opening episode that will deepen your understanding of salvation through faith in Christ.Acts 10:4-54 And he stared at him in terror and said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God. 5 And now send men to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter.Website:https://hearinggodinscripturepodcast.transistor.fm/CONNECT WITH US:YouTube: @HearingGodInScriptureX: @GodInScriptureInstagram: @hearinggodinscriptureFacebook: Hearing God in Scripture

13: The First Month For You (Exodus 12:2)
God considers this salvation experience of the Jews as so important He makes this the beginning of the year, a memorial. This last plague and the feast connected to it is of ultimate significance, and Jesus death and resurrection, which flows from this, is the most important thing God wants us to remember. “Do this in remembrance of me.”Exodus 12:22 “This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you.”Website:https://hearinggodinscripturepodcast.transistor.fm/CONNECT WITH US:YouTube: @HearingGodInScriptureX: @GodInScriptureInstagram: @hearinggodinscriptureFacebook: Hearing God in Scripture

In this video, part 2 to follow Episode 10: PART 1, Rise and Go (Acts 8:26), we dive into Acts 8:27-28 to explore the powerful story of how God sends His messenger to reach a genuine seeker of truth. The passage reveals how God responds when someone earnestly seeks Him with all their heart. Through the encounter between Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, we see the incredible way God guides and saves those who are truly seeking His salvation. In this video, we reflect on the importance of a sincere heart in pursuing God and how His grace is always ready to reach those who seek Him. If you want to understand how God answers the heartfelt prayers of a true seeker and what it means to hear God in Scripture, this message is for you.Acts 8:27-28 27 And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure.

10: PART 1, Rise and Go (Acts 8:26)
God looks for a faithful servant to carry out important tasks, such as, in the case of Phillip, bringing the gospel to someone who is truly searching.Acts 8:26 26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place.Website:https://hearinggodinscripturepodcast.transistor.fm/CONNECT WITH US:YouTube: @HearingGodInScriptureX: @GodInScriptureInstagram: @hearinggodinscriptureFacebook: Hearing God in Scripture
The title of our podcast is pretty straightforward. We are looking to hear God in Scripture. We believe proper hermeneutics is rare, that is, the ability to properly read the Bible is not commonly known or practiced. We believers are commanded to know and study the Scriptures. We should also study to properly understand what they say. These Scriptures are God’s words to us. God spoke to us. Now we need to read them right.
Not only did God speak, He still speaks. We shouldn’t just read the Scripture to pull it apart and examine it, we should be listening to God, listening for His voice as we read the text. Our hermeneutic is, “the Text is the Master”. We submit to the text. We do not have the right to twist it around to make it say what we want it to say. Rather, we discover what God is saying to us through His Word. Then we submit to whatever He says.
So, hear God in the Scriptures. That is what we are trying to do and we invite you to do this with us.
