The Newness of Spirit Podcast

Inside Our City of Refuge

This episode builds upon "Christ - A Refuge for the Manslayer" October 23 2024.  Here, we look more deeply into how the Spirit of God works in the soul of one who finds Christ as his City of Refuge.  The weakness and surrender experienced by the believer in the City of Refuge opens him or her to Oneness with Christ!

Josiah's Passover

Christ can live in His body in any situation, at any time!  In this episode, we will allow Josiah's heart for the Lord to guide us into how we can honor and bless our Father by Christ's life within even in the midst of our own failings.

"These Sayings of Mine"

Matthew Chapters 5-7 provide deep insight into the nature of Christ being displayed in earth.  In this episode, we will especially see how in doing these sayings by the nature of Christ within, we build upon the rock of Christ and Him crucified.  In this way, His very life becomes our security and our salvation. 

Pioneers of the Heavenly Way by T. Austin-Sparks Chapter 1

In his book, Brother Sparks seeks to draw out our hearts into God's realm, heart, and view, and away from our own.  May this reading do just that for you!

Biography Snippets #3: Knowing Christ Crucified

Watchman Nee's life gives us another lesson in how the Cross working in the soul brings conformity to the image of the Son. 
This lesson takes readings from Against the Tide by Angus Kinnear, The Normal Christian Life by Watchman Nee, and Changed Into His Likeness by Watchman Nee. 
Nee Died with Christ 1
Nee Died with Christ 2

Biography Snippets #2: Breaking and Filling

In this episode, we look at a valuable lesson Watchman Nee learned during His early years in ministry.  Once again, the Cross comes to the forefront as God's chosen template for bringing a soul into conformity to the image of Christ. We all need to have an increase of Jesus' sweet nature and a decrease of our tough, stubborn selves!

Biography Snippets #1: The Cross as God's Template

In This ACTS Bible School Class, we will read excerpts of biographies from believers who had deep experiences with the Cross.  Specifically, we will examine how the Lord brings a believer to the end of him- or herself that Christ might be their life in a practical way. 
These classes are in a discussion format, where the students are able to share and discuss. 
In this introductory lesson, we read "Himself" by A.B. Simpson and study what I Corinthians 1:23-31 has to say about the working of the Cross in the believer's life.

"In Christ" Becoming Our Identity

Our Father meant "In Christ" to be so much more than a belief or a teaching!  He meant it to be what defines the very core of the believer's being -- our identity.  In this episode we seek to set aside false concepts of what this means that we might more fully enter in and abide.
