Gospel Blessings!!(Part 6) As a Child of God do you sometimes still live in fear or shame of things about your past? According to John Fonville, when a Child of God is being crippled by shame and guilt is not life, it’s hell on earth. Christians sometimes say they dread the day when Christ returns because of their past failures.  The series we are currently in explores why Children of God do not have worry about that day.  In contrast, the followers of Sata...2025-07-2343 minHim We Proclaim PodcastHim We Proclaim PodcastThree Keys to Spiritual GrowthPlease text us your thoughts on this episode.

We love hearing from you. Gospel Blessings!!Does God give up on His kids when they sin?  Will He turn away from His Children and ignore their prayers when they've failed?  According to John Fonville, God is faithful.  He's a God who disciplines His Children, but we can have confidence that's He's a God of mercy as we struggle with our sin.  He hears us and forgives his Children.  Today we are looking at Psalm 6 in this series called "How to Keep Going".  Resources:2025-07-0647 minHim We Proclaim PodcastHim We Proclaim PodcastHow Do We Grow Spiritually?Please text us your thoughts on this episode. We love hearing from you. Gospel Blessings!!If you had to make a list of the top three things that help you grow spiritually, what would you suggest?  Would you say prayer, listening to worship music and reading your Bible?  While these are good things, are they "means of grace" or "means of gratitude?" John says there are three things known as "means of grace" that should be present in your church and life that are chief ways we can grow spiritually: preaching, baptism and the Lord's Supper.  2025-07-0244 minHim We Proclaim PodcastHim We Proclaim PodcastWhat is Justification?Please text us your thoughts on this episode.

God demands perfection, and we simply are not able to deliver on that. There's a verse in Psalm 130 that brings this out, and I paraphrase. If the Lord were to keep track of our sins or iniquities, who could stand before him and survive judgment?The obvious answer is no one.

We love hearing from you. Gospel Blessings!!This is the concluding message in our Lord’s Prayer study.  Today you are going to hear a lot about something called a “Doxology” which simply means an expression of Praise to God.  Which is how the Lord’s prayer concludes.  And it goes without saying, the Bible is full of Doxologies.  I won’t give you any more spoilers.  Let’s finish up the study now with Righteous Prayer Focuses on the Praise of the Father.  Book Mentioned in Episode: Hope And...2025-06-1151 minHim We Proclaim PodcastHim We Proclaim PodcastDear God, Lead Me Not into Temptation, Part 2Please text us your thoughts on this episode.

Gospel Blessings!!Forgiving others.  Wow, could we talk about something else?  This one is a little too much to deal with.  John is no stranger to living out what it means to forgive others.  If you want to hear that story, go back and listen to the last episode – it was pretty shocking story of what happened to John in high school.  Anyway, forgiving others is a tall order, but it also comes from a God who has forgiven a lot.  And that’s what we wa...2025-06-0146 minHim We Proclaim PodcastHim We Proclaim PodcastGod's Forgiveness Makes Me Want to Pray More!Please text us your thoughts on this episode. We love hearing from you. Gospel Blessings!!We have a loving and forgiving God who is slow to anger.  Doesn’t that powerful fact make you just want to pray more?  In the Lord’s prayer we ask the father to please forgive us our debts.  You see, our sin stacks up pretty quick, and God’s one way for us to be delivered from the debt is to seek His forgiveness.  In other words, We have a powerful debt that only a powerful, eternal God could offer us.  Let’s hear...2025-05-2847 minHim We Proclaim PodcastHim We Proclaim PodcastDoes God Care About My Daily Needs?Please text us your thoughts on this episode. We love hearing from you. Gospel Blessings!!In the Lord’s prayer we encounter this phrase, "Give us this day our daily bread."  This is a very clever part of the prayer.  It acknowledges the daily gift of food from God and it shows us that God is very interested in meeting all our daily needs, not just physical food.  And, in His generosity, he’s very much interested in meeting the needs of others around you.  We are going to see how all this works in the message today ca...2025-05-2550 minHim We Proclaim PodcastHim We Proclaim PodcastRighteous Prayer Focuses on the Kingdom of the FatherPlease text us your thoughts on this episode. We love hearing from you. Gospel Blessings!!Do you like when pastors give you a fly-by of the entire bible in one sermon? That’s among my top favorite things to listen to and it really helps me appreciate the big picture.  Today John gives us a Genesis to Revelation perspective to help us understand the Kingdom of God and why that is referenced in the Lord’s Prayer.  Book Mentioned in Episode: Hope And Holiness: How The Gospel Enables and Empowers Sexual Purity by John Fonville2025-05-2154 minHim We Proclaim PodcastHim We Proclaim PodcastRighteous Prayer Focuses on the Honor of God the FatherPlease text us your thoughts on this episode. We love hearing from you. Gospel Blessings!!Jesus called out scribes and pharisees back in the day for much of their distorted religious ways.  One example is they would use prayer as a platform and try to bring glory to themselves.  That’s not what prayer is for.  Instead, if you have your theology right, you’ll see that righteous prayer gives glory to the name God the Father.  That’s what Hallowed be your name is all about.  Book Mentioned in Episode: Hope And Holiness: How The Gospel...2025-05-1843 minHim We Proclaim PodcastHim We Proclaim PodcastRighteous Prayer Focuses on the Honor of God the Father, Part 2Please text us your thoughts on this episode. We love hearing from you. Gospel Blessings!!When Jesus was giving the Sermon on the Mount, he was also calling out the self-righteous and hypocritical scribes and pharisees.  Their bad theology painted negative picture of God.  They made him feel unapproachable, angry & capricious.  But, Christ gave his followers that Lord’s Prayer, which showed us that God is gracious and forgiving of those who broke his law.  It all comes back to what we believe about God – which is where getting our theology right is so important.  B...2025-05-1846 minHim We Proclaim PodcastHim We Proclaim PodcastWhat is God's Will for My Life?Please text us your thoughts on this episode. We love hearing from you. Gospel Blessings!!In the Lord’s Prayer it reads, Your Will Be Done on Earth as it is in Heaven.  That’s a powerful thing to pray, isn’t it?  I have some big questions about Gods will.  For starters, what is God’s will?  Does he have a hidden will?  Do I need to worry or be anxious about trying to figure out what’s God’s will for me?   If God is going to accomplish his will on heaven and earth?  What does He need me to...2025-05-1150 minHim We Proclaim PodcastHim We Proclaim PodcastPetition for the Bread of LifePlease text us your thoughts on this episode. We love hearing from you. Gospel Blessings!!What do you think the phrase, “Give us this Day, our Daily Bread” in the Lord’s Prayer.   Other than daily provision for food, is there more behind this phrase?  Absolutely!  It’s like asking, “Give me Jesus” who is the bread of life.  And, it’s a signpost reference to the Lord’s Supper or the Sacrament of Communion.Book Mentioned in Episode: Hope And Holiness: How The Gospel Enables and Empowers Sexual Purity by John FonvilleAbout the book:2025-05-0737 minHim We Proclaim PodcastHim We Proclaim PodcastHow Does the Kingdom Come?Please text us your thoughts on this episode.

Gospel Blessings!!What is the Kingdom of God?  Is that something that we can build and bring into the world?  Jesus taught us in the sermon on the mount and the Lord’s prayer, that the Kingdom of God is HIS GIFT TO US.  Why?

The good news is Jesus wants to make a way for us to be with the Father.  He not only gave us a model of how to pray -- as the adopted sons and daughters that we are -- but he also takes to task things like “showy” or “religious” activities that are antithetical to the true relationship and closeness we can hav...2025-04-2849 minHim We Proclaim PodcastHim We Proclaim PodcastPray this way: The divine pattern of righteous prayerPlease text us your thoughts on this episode.
