Expounding Wisdom
Season 1
by Manuel Mathis
In this episode pf Expounding Wisdom, Manuel discusses the resurrection and its importance. Christians generally only discuss this topic during Easter and then it becomes a moot point for the rest of the year. But there is so much theology and God honoring truth wrapped up in this topic that it should give us pause and drive us back to the scriptures. Hope you enjoy.
In this episode, Manuel discusses the atoning work of Jesus and how God shows us his perfect love and justice through the cross. Jesus not only lived a perfect life, but also died a perfect death so that we are not only gutless, rather we are also considered righteous before God. Jesus being the substitution for us is a beautiful act on God;s part which should cause us to want to praise and thank him!
In this Episode of Expounding Wisdom, Manuel discusses the person of Jesus. Jesus is truly God and truly man. This is called the hypostatic union. I hope you enjoy this episode and please go back and listen to the previous episodes that will help both young and seasoned believers.
In this episode of Expounding Wisdom podcast, we discuss sin, where it came from, how it has affected us, and the root cause of sin. Sin is something we do in action, in attitude, and ultimately it is a part of our nature. We sin because our natures are bent towards it. So, the solution to this problem is obvious...Jesus. I hope this episode helps you get a clearer perspective not only of sin but also of our Lord and Savior.
Why and how did God create us? A very important question that every Christian should have an answer to. God created us in his image and for his glory. This episode helps us understand what it means to be created in his image and what it looks like to glorify God. Hope you enjoy it!
Angels and demons are a topic that can cause confusion and frustration. You have some people that go beyond what scripture says when it comes to them and others who are completely ignorant on the matter. As always, the goal is to find a healthy balance. This episode is simply an introduction to this wonderful topic. I hope it is informative and will get you to want to do some more research!
In this episode of Expounding Wisdom, Manuel discusses the importance and effectiveness of prayer. Do you struggle with your prayer life? Manny also gives some tips on how to pray and a simple yet biblical acronym (ACTS) to help guide your prayer life to be more effective!
How and why did God decide to create the universe? In this episode Manuel discusses how the world came into existence and why God chose to bring it and us into existence. God created all things for his glory and he deserves the glory as creator and the creation ought to give him glory.
In this episode of Expounding Wisdom, Manuel Mathis explain what the Trinity is and its importance to the Christian faith. Simply put: The Trinity is the belief that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are co-equal and coeternal as the God head. The Trinity is the belief that there is one God who exists in three divine persons. Manuel also briefly touches on the dangers of using some analogies to explain the trinity to a skeptic or to other believers. The fact that there are some things about God that can be explained simply, but cannot be fully understood shows that our God is transcendent.
The attributes of God should lead us to a position of humility and worship. This episode concludes the portion on God's attributes. I hope it will deepen your understanding of our Lord and will lead you to a heart that wants to worship him.
