404. God Is Not Against You


As a follow-up to our previous program entitled Jesus the Healer, this week we talk about how it's important for us in Christ to understand that the Lord is not the cause of pain and suffering that you may have experienced. There are things in this world that will come against you, yet through it all God is with you and He is for you. God does not abuse or torment His children but rather His goodness and perfect love removes fear and brings comfort and assurance.

In case you missed it, we recently posted three bonus podcasts featuring highly encouraging highlights from our past 100 Growing in Grace episodes! Here's the third bonus podcast, GIGBite Bonus Podcast 3, which also includes links to the first two.

403. Jesus the Healer


The life and ministry of Jesus while He was on the earth describes many miracles that included a demonstration God's healing power. We begin to see the immeasurable love God had for people through these works being done through His Son. It was a reflection of His desire and His will when it came to physical needs. The subject of healing has caused confusion and wonder among some. Regardless of your experiences or circumstances, our purpose with this program is to try to bring some reassurance and hope as we look at the goodness of God and physical healing through the eyes of grace.

402. The Ultimate Demonstration of Unconditional Love


One of the greatest things God has given to the world is love. Sadly most of us have understood very little about the depth of this love that has no boundaries and no conditions. Often our perspective of God's love is viewed through the eyes of our earthly experience. The love we've experienced between people in this life is not equal to the love demonstrated by Jesus Christ. God is love and He desires us to know more of Him and this love that surpasses knowledge.

BTW, we've now posted two bonus podcasts to celebrate the occasion of our 400th podcast! Here is "GIGBite Bonus Podcast 1" and here is GIGBite Bonus Podcast 2.  Look for the third and final bonus podcast this coming Wednesday.

401. The Amazing Bible Passage Disappearing Act


Imagine having the "gift" of being able to determine which scriptures in the Bible are not God-inspired and should be removed. There could be numerous reasons for removing many verses or even chapters. For example, suppose there is one that messes up your existing belief or doctrine. Perhaps it's one you just don't understand or feel that it contradicts with other passages. Just take a black highlighter and Poof! - It's gone. You'll have the Bible down to less than half the size in no time. Maybe even come up with your very own translation.

OR... We have another suggestion on this week's GIGcast.

And in case you missed it, we posted "GIGBite Bonus Podcast 1" this past Wednesday, in celebration of having reached the milestone of our 400th Growing in Grace podcast! Look for two additional bonus podcasts as well, this coming Wednesday and the following Wednesday.
