Randall Church Podcast

God wants us to understand His plan and purpose. We live in a culture that constantly tells us that our identity is found in what we have or have not done; what job we have or what career we are hoping for; how we have succeeded or how we have failed. This however is not God's plan for our lives. The Gospel says that the identity we all need is one that cannot be taken away by our failure or circumstances. The identity that we need is found only in Christ.

God the Holy Spirit has given spiritual gifts to each believer. Those gifts vary in combination, in effect and in service; but all are for the same purpose, namely to accomplish the work of the kingdom through the church. The key in the working of spiritual gifts is oneness - there are many "parts" in the church body, but they are all to work together under the Head, namely Jesus Christ. And they are to be ruled by love.

Marriage relationships must be brought under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, including those where one is a believer and the other is not.
