Advertise on podcast: Reckless Grace with Bill Vanderbush

This incredible conversation about the new covenant, with Jim Baker and Charlie Coker, was one for the books. The river of revelation gems was flowing faster than many of us could keep up with. This one is worth more than one listen.

Remember when Joshua had a whole family stoned in the Old Testament? "What do you do with that, mister grace guy?" A Pastor asked me this question on a Sunday morning in front of a live audience. It wasn't a hostile question. I had agreed to a live team teaching format with my dear friend, Charlie Coker, at Identity Church in Deltona, Florida. This was the question of the day. What happens when the word of the Lord and the letter of the law clash? God brought Peter to that very moment of decision and taught him a priceless lesson that we're still learning two thousand years later. You can also find the video of this conversation at https://www.identitychurch.net. 

Is 2000 years of God's grace about to come to an end? Is God finally about to drop the hammer of judgment on all the people you don't like? Has he overlooked our ignorant rebellion all this time only to finally get fed up now and cut us down like a man attackes his lawn with a weed eater on a Saturday morning? Listen to some people and you just might think so. In this podcast we explore a moment in the life of Peter that changed his whole perspective on how he viewed humanity through the veil of Christ. As a friend of mine once said, "If the blood of a goat could forgive the sins of a nation for a whole year, then what did the blood of the Son of God do?"

The New Covenant is not about a transaction between you and God, but a transformation where who you were before is not who you are now. If there is no conversion then we will continue to live with an old identity that, in Christ, has passed away. The New Covenant is the rest of reconciled union with God in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit where all things are made new. Have you experienced the new birth? This episode will invite you into that transformation.

This podcast was recorded before the events in Buffalo, NY and Uvalde, TX unfolded. But it explains a little about the nature of freedom that God has given us under the new covenant. Living in freedom is great, but learning to manage that freedom is glorious. Where freedom management fails, we apply controls. It seems that controlling others, society, culture, and surroundings are far easier than controlling self. So we go the easier route. To teach us how to govern the self, God has given us the Holy Spirit. And without the Holy Spirit, the bride of Christ loses her ever loving mind. God has made an investment in us, and he expects a return.

Just because God gave man the law, don't think that defines him as a lawyer. When there's a barrier between people, any connection needs to be spelled out in rules of engagement. Yet in the new covenant we have life, liberty, and love as the pulsing heartbeat that is the uniting rhythm of this temple. There's a mystery to be embraced about the rules of engagement that's every bit as magnificent as the majesty of his word. To lean in to understand this will enroll you in a school that will empower you in the....let's say it like this...new rules of engagement. The blood and violence that defined the old temple is now replaced by the glorious inheritance that all of that blood and violence paid for. So why do we love the blood and violence so much more than the grace it paid for? Step into part 2 of this study into the new covenant with Bill Vanderbush.

The Bible is a record of the nature of the relationship between God and humanity, and we relate to God by His Spirit and the terms of that relationshiop are understood by covenants. Do you know which one we're under now? Do you know why the current covenant is called the better covenant? Do you know why the new one will never be broken? Do you know why the old covenants are no longer valid? You should. It matters more than you can imagine.

Jesus accomplished all three roles necessary to finish the work on the cross. He was the great high priest who offered the sacrifice. He was the holy one on the throne who received the sacrifice. And he was the sacrifice itself. You and I are in the equation purely by his grace and that’s how we are saved. The only thing necessary to receive salvation is faith. We have no faith of our own so we must ask God to give us the faith to believe and receive the grace of salvation. So even though we are invited into the process, we are not the source of any of the elements necessary for us to be saved. This is how God in Christ saved us single-handedly.   Website Link: https://billvanderbush.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/billvanderbush/   Instagram: @billosopher59 and @biblestudywithbill   Twitter: @billvanderbush   Featured music  Michael Giffone: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giffone/1410403490

Bill and Traci in deep and profound conversation……is not what this episode is. More like a couple of flamingos fighting over a blueberry. It’s about that random. But you might learn something new about the Bible and find a Scripture you’ve never even heard of before. Which is exactly what happens in the middle of this episode. Thanks, Jacki A, for the inspiration.   Website Link: https://billvanderbush.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/billvanderbush/   Instagram: @billosopher59 and @biblestudywithbill   Twitter: @billvanderbush   Featured music  Michael Giffone: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giffone/1410403490

Are you ready for a raw, rare, and vulnerable interview with John Crowder and Baxter Kruger? Probably not. Topics mentioned include a story about horse manure, Balaam’s ass, Napoleon Dynamite, Dog diarrhea, Finding Nemo, greasy grace, narcissists, but mostly the Gospel.    Website Link: https://billvanderbush.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/billvanderbush/   Instagram: @billosopher59 and @biblestudywithbill   Twitter: @billvanderbush   Featured music  Michael Giffone: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giffone/1410403490

What does it mean to be both a priest and king? It’s probably a good thing to know since God sees you as both. Traci and Bill have had some of the craziest experiences in their lives with Christ and the stories and revelation in this podcast will give you a taste of their lives as disciples of the King of Kings. May you be drawn to know Him better as you listen.   Website Link: https://billvanderbush.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/billvanderbush/   Instagram: @billosopher59 and @biblestudywithbill   Twitter: @billvanderbush   Featured music  Michael Giffone: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giffone/1410403490

Sitting in the heart of Amish country on a snowy day in Ohio, Traci and I recorded a conversation that we pray will bring clarity and life to you on a deep level. We were born to live in revival, which essentially means that we are alive to bring the life and wholeness of Christ to everyone around us. This study on wine, wineskins, oil and the cycle of growth will equip and empower you to breathe again.    Website Link: https://billvanderbush.com   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/billvanderbush/   Instagram: @billosopher59 and @biblestudywithbill   Twitter: @billvanderbush   Featured music  Michael Giffone: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/michael-giffone/1410403490
