PWTE Podcast Super Bowl Edition

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this special edition of the Praying With The Eyes podcast, Pastors Doug Brauner, Dave Hall and Jeffrey Meinz give their expert (and not so expert) analysis of the Super Bowl 50 between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers. This an annual podcast that feeds the football addiction of these three pastors and has nothing to do with the PWTE daily devotional blogs. Enjoy!

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died– more than that, who was raised– who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 
Romans 8:31-39 English Standard Version

“Please, SHOW Me What to Do!”

We learn to live in Christ by following godly examples.

“What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me–
practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.”
Philippians 4:9 English Standard Version

I haven’t got a clue what these gears do.

You see, I don’t know how mechanical things work. I can dismantle anything, but don’t ask me to put it back together. So when it comes to learning new things, I gain knowledge by watching others.

Many of us learn best by following someone else’s example. Paul recognizes this fact and encourages his friends in Philippi to follow his example. Living as a redeemed person was new stuff to his readers.

Living as a child of God doesn’t come naturally to us either.

We learn best when we watch those who are mature in Christ live their faith. I would urge you to find someone you respect, and follow in his or her footsteps. It’s a great way to learn what it means to live as a child of God.
