Continuing our series on the Presence of God, today’s episode takes one more look at God’s presence in the storyline of the Bible as it appears in the Old Testament. In the first portion of the episode, we take a look at the structure of the Old Testament and contrast the layout of our modern, English bibles with the Scriptural framework that 1st century Jewish-Christians would have been familiar with. An important takeaway reveals that the ancient structure actually tells a story, a story that communicates God's unyielding desire to dwell personally among His people. In the second portion of the episode, we illustrate this truth by studying Isaiah 40:1-10. In examining this specific text, God's redemptive program is amplified both nationally for the Jews in Babylonian captivity, as well as spiritually for all of sinful humanity. The prophet dramatically announces that God's presence is about to make an entrance and anyone who has an ear to hear and a heart to obey, should make preparations for His arrival.

Scriptures: Luke 24:44; Psalm 30:5; Isaiah 40:1-10.

Continuing the series on the Kingdom of God, this episode focuses on how the Kingdom was displayed through the life and ministry of Jesus as well as through the church. Following a brief recap of the two previous episodes, Dr. Chris bridges the 400 year gap between the OT and the NT by explaining the historical, socio-political and religious context. Bible readers need to be informed that there are a lot of changes that take place between the books of Malachi (the close of the OT) and the Gospel of Matthew (the opening of the NT). Learning about those changes allows for a much clearer picture when Jesus arrives on the scene and announces "the Kingdom of God is at hand!" Additionally, this episode explores the manner in which Jesus continues and fulfills the Old Testament story (Luke 24:44-45; Matt. 5:17). Through His perfect life, compelling instruction and miraculous works, Jesus not only declares the Kingdom come, but He demonstrates it as well (Matt. 5-7; Matt. 12:28). The climax of Kingdom displayed in Jesus' life/ministry, is the cross, resurrection and ascension. Through His climactic victory, Jesus overcomes the works of darkness and cancels the curse that was upon humanity due to the fall. Restoring what man lost at the fall (dual loss: relationship & rulership), Jesus then commissions His followers to be the conduits of Kingdom character and power to every nation and people group (Matt. 28:18-20; John 20:21).

This episode is the final episode in the series on the Kingdom of God. Hunter Ray, a graduate and now staff member of VCBCS, joins Dr. Romano in this episode to talk about the impact that the Kingdom has had on his life personally and his ministry. In addition to Hunter's personal testimony, this episode explores:

  • The impact Kingdom has on a believer's identity and purpose.
  • The importance of seeing the gospel as the "Gospel of the Kingdom."
  • The value of grasping the whole narrative of Scripture and viewing the narrative as an unending thread that begins with the creation of man and continues to today through the life of those who have given their loyalty to King Jesus.
  • A look at how the continued reformation of the church must include a return to the proper understanding of the Gospel of the Kingdom.

Scriptures Referenced: Mark 1:14-15; 1 John 4:17; John 20:21; 1 Cor. 15:3-5; Matt. 28:19; Rev. 1:5-6.

Kingdom: Meta Narrative, Part II

09/09/21 • 34 min

This episode revisits the theme of Meta Narratives or "Big Stories" of the Bible by exploring the subject of Kingdom. Along with Covenant, Kingdom is shown to not merely be a subject matter IN the Bible but they essentially form the subject matter OF the Bible. While Covenant is associated with the idea of relationship, Kingdom is closely connected to the idea of representation. In Genesis 1:26-28, the Bible details that God created humans both for Covenant Relationship and Kingdom Representation. To underscore the importance of representing God, Dr. Romano teaches about the importance of image bearing. In short, being an image bearer is the believer's highest calling. Rather than merely a collection of attributes and abilities, being made in the image of God involves carrying a status through which God purposes to reveal Himself and His ways. The episode further looks into the life of Jesus as an image bearer. Throughout His earthly ministry, He perfectly personified what it means to represent and image God by His allegiance and obedience to the Father. It is through His example that we see the picture of Covenant Relationship and Kingdom Representation clearly on display. Further, it is through His death, resurrection and ascension that we find both the fulfillment of God's use of Covenants as a channel of establishing His Kingdom on the earth AND a gateway for Jesus' followers (of every age) to continue the mission of God in expanding the Kingdom throughout all of the earth. In this way, Jesus shares God's rule and authority with His Church and commissions them to faithfully follow His lead in imaging and representing God and His Kingdom in every aspect of their lives.

Scriptures: Psalm 118:24; 2 Tim. 3:16-17; Gen. 1:26-28; Gen. 3; John 14:8-9; Matt. 28:18-20.

This episode introduces the subject of Meta Narratives in the Bible. Meta Narratives are the "big stories" of the Bible that provide shape and meaning to the entirety of Scripture. There are two primary meta narratives in Scripture: Kingdom & Covenant. In this show, Dr. Romano explores the ever important, but commonly misunderstood theme of Covenant. Covenant is the way in which God has chosen to relate to all people. It provides the context for relationship with God, as well as properly understanding His love and commitment for us. Tune into this episode to grasp the importance of "big stories," as well as to receive a clear picture of the theme of Covenant. If you really want to comprehend what God has done, what He is doing and what He is after in His dealing with humans of every age, you have to have a grasp on the Meta Narrative of Covenant! Scriptures: Romans 1:16-17; Phil. 3:7-10; 1 Cor. 6:19-20; Hosea 1-3; Romans 5:6-8. Music: "On My Way," by Justin Jollie.
