Mission 66 (English podcast)
Mission 66 English Bible Program Trailer
This is John Matthews, your teacher for the upcoming New Daily program, Mission 66. Join me and my co-host Esther Sisulu, beginning October the 28th, where we'll be taking you on the most exciting journey you will ever experience. It's a trip through the greatest book in the world, The Bible. That's right, every weekday we'll explore the Word of God in a unique, personal and conversational way, and here's a preview of what you'll hear. You know the commandments, do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not defraud, honour your father and mother, and the man said to Jesus' teacher, "All of these I have kept from my youth." Jesus looking at him loved him and said to him, "You lack one thing, go, sell all that you have and give it to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven, then come follow me." Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful for he had great possessions. Yeah, yeah, I find that so interesting. The Scripture says, "One thing he lacked." What do you think that one thing was, John? Well, I think this young man made the same mistake that many of us are still falling into, which is trying to earn our way to heaven, and sometimes Esther is so hard to give up the illusion of comfort, our possessions bring us, and then how our identity actually can be attached to those possessions and the status that might bring as well, and many believe that if the good that they do outweighs the bad, then God's going to let them in, but it doesn't work like that. Salvation, it's a free gift of God, given by his grace and it's received by faith. Now remember, mission 66 starts October 28th. Yes, so join Esther and I, and we look forward to having you on this journey with us right here. [Music] [Music] (upbeat music) [MUSIC PLAYING]
