It is critical to understand context if we are going to understand what God is saying in the scriptures. If we do not understand context, we are going to be led astray.
No way around it, it will happen.
We will become confused about the scriptures because we don’t understand how to apply them to our lives and we will become frustrated.
But how do we know?
How do we know if the scriptures are for us to do or just for us to know? Where do we start? These are important questions and we are going to talk about them today in our weekly Grace at LAST Podcast. I am so glad you joined in today.

97 Am I Mentally in the Old When Christ has Made all Things New?
Recording from Costa Rica we talk about the new. The new you and the new life Christ provided for you and me through the cross and resurrection. I believe too many people are living with an old covenant mindset and they could be living in the new.
Even people who understand new covenant truths can live with an old covenant mindset. The new is better. We can renew our minds to understand the truth about the new us, the new heaven, the new man, our new life, and the new earth.
There is real freedom in the truths of today’s message and I hope and pray you are living in the newness of life that Jesus made available to all who believe.
96 Is the Book of Hebrews for Us Today?
The Bible contains a message God wants the world to know. Every original word is inspired by God. However, there have been a lot of changes along the way. How do we know what to believe and trust? Can we trust every word printed in our Bibles today> Those things and more on today's Grace at LAST podcast
95 Can We Trust the Bible?

94 Have We Been Taken Away By Traditions of Men?
Sometimes we think things are for us today but are acutally in the past. Today we look at traditions we may be in bondage to that we can rid of now. Exciting and liberating, let's grow in grace together.
93 Do I Look at the Cost or See the Gain?
When we consider the Hebrews and the persecution they endured for believing in the new covenant of grace, some of us can relate. Some have been separated, rejected, dismissed and judged when the new covenant of grace is realized. It can hurt, we miss those we spent time with, and being a part of division is no fun for anyone. And yet it happens. We don’t want it to happen, but it does. What do we do when and if that happens? How do we navigate through that and what should our mindset be when confronted with issues such as these? These are the things we discuss on today’s Grace at LAST Podcast. Thank you so much for joining in.
92 Why Do We Refuse to Believe Jesus?
God has poured out every bit of forgiveness He is going to give when He accepted Christ’s payment for the worlds sin. And yet it is a common teaching and belief we need to ask for more forgiveness when we sin. The book of Hebrews is all about the new and better covenant that is based on Christ’s one time sacrifice that removed sin. Now we can receive eternal life and complete and total forgiveness, all by faith. When we talk to God, we can talk about other things than asking for what we already have in full.
Today we talk about the things God enjoys talking about with us and how we can leave behind those traditions and misleading’s that put us in bondage and yet have been handed down to us through the ages.
91 Do I Try and Bargain with God?
It is easy to misunderstand seed, time and harvest. We can believe that the seeds we sow will determine the harvest God brings into our lives. Often, because we are fuzzy where the old covenant ends and the new covenant begins, we can think God is dealing with blessings in the new covenant like He did in the old. He isn’t.
We can retire from trying to earn God’s favor and blessings. We have them if we have Christ.
When we understand the beauty and riches that belong to us in Christ, everything changes. We change our perspective to see the good and finished work Jesus accomplished on our behalf; how can we help be anything but grateful?
A grateful heart is a happy heart.
An ungrateful heart is an unhappy heart (Veggie Tails).
90 How Can a Change in My Perspective Make All Things Beautiful?
Many messages we receive about the Bible are about what God is going to do. Many believe better days on earth are coming, so they wait. Others believe life on earth will always be painful so enduring until they get to heaven is best they can do, so they wait. But what about right now? What about the fulfilled prophecy we already possess to live in, not waiting for something better? What if our perspective changed and we saw this stunning creation God prepared for us to dwell so beautiful and magnificent, we can’t hardly take our eyes from it?
Let’s look together at the Kingdom of God and realize our real citizenship is in the heavenly’s, it is now, and it is glorious!
89 Is There Hope?
My friend Mara went to heaven this week. It rocked our world, and our lives are still reeling from the pain.
Today we talk about heaven and what it might be like for those who have gone before us.
I think many are waiting for earth to be what heaven is like.
We think Jesus will rescue us from this crazy world and set up a perfect world.
Many people are living with their head in the clouds looking for Jesus to come back and save us from the evil in the world. We think He is going to make things perfect on this side of heaven.
But is that true? Are we expecting earth to be the reality and atmosphere of heaven, our eternal home? Could we be missing out on appreciating and enjoying what we already have, but don’t realize we are doing that? Are we living with the carrot dangling just out of reach and if we just push a little harder, we’ll get it?
Let’s ask some interesting questions that may lead us away from the traditional view of heaven and earth and see what the Lord wants to reveal to us about the new heaven and new earth.
88 Am I in a Battle?
Are we in a battle? Do we need to learn how to fight the devil so we can win? What do I need to understand so I can have the healthy relationships I hear and read about?
God knows we will have questions when it comes to relationships, and He has our answers. God begins with telling us the great love He has for us by giving us His Son and then He teaches us how to extend that to love others. He knows seasons will be extremely difficult and running on emotions is easy to do especially if we don’t know truth. Today we are going to talk about truth and expose the devil for the liar that he is. We will wrap up Ephesians today and there is so much more to glean as Paul closes with more meat to chew on. I am so glad you pulled up a seat at the table.
87 How Can I Fight to Win?
God continues to show us His love in Christ by teaching on relationships. Simultaneously, God is telling us how much He loves us and how to have strong earthly relationships too. Nothing is more important than understanding God’s love for His children and today we gain deeper understanding into that.
God understands relationships can be difficult and He has not left us alone. He has provided all we need to fight and win. How? That is what we cover in today’s Grace at LAST podcast. I am so glad you joined in.
86 The New Me
Sometimes we are told walking with God is a list of "do’s" and “do not’s”. Some teach our true condition will be seen by our fruit. If we don’t understand what Paul is saying here, we can become a rule follower instead of being Spirit led. Ephesians 5 is full of so many truths that when applied to our lives, everything gets better, almost immediately. God tells us these things because He created us, marriage, the church, plan of salvation, and all creatures great and small. His ways work. If we want healthy relationships and are willing to trust God and what He has said, we can have the marriage and other relationships we never thought possible. Let’s learn together from the apostle Paul and implement these truths into our lives as the Spirit leads us. I believe we will see miracles and enjoy healthy relationships like never before.
85 God’s Thoughts on Healthy Relationships
Paul’s writings in Ephesians 5 can appear to be works. It has a lot of “do’s” and “don’ts” included in the writings. If we don’t have a grasp on what Paul is saying, we can become extremely judgmental. We can gauge spirituality by behavior and even condemn people and label them as not walking with the Lord because of their lifestyle. Lifestyle is very important, and Paul addresses that subject. After spending considerable time in chapters 1-3 telling us the change that has taken place in us, he tells us what life will look like. Remembering it always starts with who we are in Christ, our identity, not how we behave. When our character starts with our identity, we are authentic. God has some very enlightening insights in this portion of the letter, and we don’t want to miss a thing. Thanks for joining in today.
84 How to Have the Relationships My Heart Desires
Relationships can be difficult and bring a dark cloud over our lives if they are unhealthy. We can desire good healthy relationships, and yet find ourselves in difficult and challenging ones instead. Guilt and shame can settle in, and we might not know where to turn for answers. Paul has a lot to say about that in this portion of his letter to the Ephesians. Today, we may find ourselves in the same place, or possibly someone we know. We can learn so much from what Paul has to say and when we believe it and choose this path, life gets better, and better, and better. Let see what Paul’s advice is to these believers that he was so fond of with love and devotion. There is so much to learn that we can believe and live in our own lives today, as Paul shares some beautiful truths with us so we can have the relationships our heart desires.
83 Saved and Redeemed, Now What?
Ephesians 4 is a pivotal point in Paul’s letter. If taken out of context, we can be led astray and deceived. We may think God expects things from us that is not true at all.
Understanding the church and what God intended when He made us new creatures in Christ, will drastically change everything. Far too long we have been told it is about works and sacrifice for God when the truth is, it is Jesus’ works and sacrifice that makes us perfect and right with God.
Paul mentions some of the spiritual gifts Jesus gave to the body. How can we appreciate the purpose of the gifts and get all we can in understanding and therefore walk in the reality of these truths?
So many nuggets in this chapter and we learn more about the spiritual blessings that belong to us, because we belong to Christ.
