Christ-Centered Podcast is anchored on these themes:
1. Resurrection Power
Ultimately, the raised Christ gives us power, grace, and strength to overcome our fears, doubts, and
struggles, and to live with purpose.
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live." John 11:25
2. Son of God
The Significance of Sonship and Exploring Jesus’ Identity as fully human and fully divine.
And suddenly, a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17
3. Forgiveness
Jesus was willing to forgive those who betrayed Him, brutally hurt Him, mocked Him, and killed Him. So what does that mean for our own lives? Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they divided His garments and cast lots. Luke 23:34
4. From Death to Life
Examining how, through faith in Christ, our sins are forgiven, and we are given a new identity as beloved children of God. Ephesians 2:1 says, “You were dead in your trespasses and sins.” Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life and shall not come into judgment but has passed from death into life. John 5:24
5. Victory
Christ triumphed over sin and death; victory was not a one-time occurrence that exists solely in the past. Christ’s victory continues to empower us today!
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, Ephesians 2:4-6.
6. Witnesses
What does it mean to live as a witness?
The resurrection of Christ had many first-hand eyewitnesses of Christ’s resurrection, e.g., Mary.
Magdalene, who was the first witness of the resurrection, Peter, John, James, and all the other disciples, And you are witnesses of these things. Luke 24:48
7. Evidence
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He was seen by [a] Cephas, then by the twelve. 1 Corinthians 15:3-5
8. Christ: The Mission
Jesus’ resurrection is not just an event in the past but a present reality that speaks to what we are
called to do; to follow Jesus! Go [a]therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” [b]Amen. Matthew 28:19-20
9. Hope
Hope is the Crux of Crucifixion; Christ is the hope of Glory. 1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to His great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

[@trustkwaramba9250]

This is profound. Thank you Bishop Muparutsa

[@Veracity2024]

Thank you for sharing. These episodes are always a blessing. The mission of God, a Christ centred mission is one of the topics I would like to hear being taught more. A centripetal and centrifugal approach to missions. Brilliant episode once again. Glory to Jesus.
