      <title>Spirits in Prison? Baptism that Saves? What does 1 Peter 3:18-22 Mean?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Spirits in Prison? Baptism that Saves? Have you ever wondered what all of these things mean? Quite possibly these are the topics that you have thought about but never really had a definitive answer. As many people look at 1 Peter 3:18-22 they often hear the many views that commentators have concerning this passage but very few people nail down exactly what is going through the mind of Peter and his audience, and so in this sermon we are going to take a look at what it would have been the foundation and context for Peter to reference these things that have puzzled us for many centuries in the church!

We hope you enjoy this sermon and as always please LIKE, COMMENT, and SHARE this podcast with your friends and family!]]></description>

      <title>Faithful Amid Persecution</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Here it is Episode 9 “Faithful amid Persecution” In this episode we see how Jesus made it clear that those of the world will hate Christians because the world hates Christ. If Christians are like the world: vain, earthly, sensual, and given to pleasure, wealth, and ambition, the world would not oppose us. But Christians do not belong to the world, which is why the world engages in Christian persecution. Christians must learn to recognize the value of persecution and even to rejoice in it, not in an arrogant way but quietly and humbly because persecution has great spiritual value.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode we focus on Hebrews 6, a passage that has brought about so much controversy of whether or not someone could lose their salvation! We hope this encourages you especially if this is a topic that you have struggled with in your own life, and we believe this passage actually brings much more assurance than it does uncertainty!</p>
