Five Hallmarks of the Christmas Spirit Pt. 2 Dec 14, 2023

Show notes

Today, the spirit of Christmas (as we have come to know it) is often disconnected from the Christ of Christmas. There is obviously nothing wrong with candy canes, christmas carols, gifts, decor, traditions, and hallmark movies (well maybe something wrong with those), but in the hullabaloo of it all, Christ is so often pushed to the peripheral corner of the day in which we celebrate His birth.

In order to examine the “spirit of Christmas” we must turn to God’s word and in doing so, we must examine “Five Hallmarks of the Christmas Spirit” in Luke 1:46-55.

In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis picks up where he left of in his previous episode and explains that the Christian is to be filled with:

God’s Holy Spirit
Worship
Joy
Humility
Gratitude

Five Hallmarks of the Christmas Spirit Pt. 1 Dec 08, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis examines Mary’s song of praise in the first chapter of Luke’s Gospel. In her song, Mary articulates the proper response that everyone should have to the incarnation of Jesus Christ. Although falsely praised and prayed to in the Roman Catholic tradition, Mary is however, a model of Spirit-filled worship to the One who was born to save His people from their sins. There isn’t a story in all of fiction that is better than the Savior who would come and be born of a teenage girl - the virgin Mary! “My soul magnifies the Lord (Luke 1:46).” - Mary

Dial In with Jonny Ardavanis: Big Questions, Biblical Answers, is a series that seeks to provide biblical answers to some of the most prominent and fundamental questions regarding God, the Gospel, and the Bible

In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis sits sits down with Dr. James Dolezal, author of “All That Is God” to discuss the character of God.

Many people today view God as if He is composed of parts (10% justice, 20% sovereignty, 50% love and so forth) - Dr. Dolezal is going to explain to us why that is a faulty and dangerous way to view God.

In coming to understand the character of God, we must come to terms with His simplicity, not that He is simple, but that He is not composed of parts.

Walking in Wisdom Part ll Nov 09, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis continues his study on the subject of Biblical Wisdom and looks to the book of James. In James 3, the Scripture delineates the wisdom of this world from the wisdom that is “from above.” In doing so, James reveals that the tangible fruit of true wisdom is “good deeds.” Wisdom is not so much what we know as it is the translation of applying what we know to how we live. Biblical wisdom manifests itself in a life that is: Pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, merciful, fruitful, unwavering, and not hypocritical (James 3:17).

Walking in Wisdom Part I Oct 12, 2023

Show notes

So much of the Christian life boils down to making wise choices. But how do we live a life of wisdom?

In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis walks through the Biblical starting point of wisdom. Namely, the fear of the Lord.

Although the fear of the Lord is a pervasive topic throughout God’s Word, it is insufficiently addressed today and as a consequence, there is a deficiency of wisdom in the Church today.

Do you want to be wise? You must grow in the fear of the Lord.
