GRINDIT podcast

by Randall Tucker

Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.

  1. Episode 602: 1 Corinthians 16 Part 4 Show Your Appreciation

    How often do we tell those who serve in the church how much we appreciate them? Paul goes out of his way at the end of chapter 16 to point out three men that are from the church at Corinth who work very hard in the kingdom of God. Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come from Corinth to help...

  2. Episode 601: 1 Corinthians 16 Part 3 God Is Already There Working

    How did Paul know where to go when he was traveling around sharing Jesus? Did he just pick places and go? Did he get direction from the Holy Spirit? Did Jesus tell him where to go? They only thing we know is where Paul got a vision where a guy says, “Come over here and help us!” and he…

  3. Episode 600: 1 Corinthians 16 Part 2 Drought, A Famine, And Your Wallet Part 2

    In the beginning of chapter 16, Paul is going to answer a question from the church at Corinth about them having to take up a collection of money for the church in Jerusalem.

    In the beginning of chapter 16, Paul is going to answer a question from the church at Corinth about them having to take up a collection of money for the church in Jerusalem.

  5. Episode 598: 1 Corinthians 15 Part 6 There Is A Resurrection...So Now What?

    Jesus is alive, he sits at the Father’s right hand, and some day, he is coming for his bride! When this takes place, we will be changed in a twinkling of an eye, and we will bear his image! Are you ready? If not, then you will spend eternity separated from God without any possibility of being...

  6. Episode 597: 1 Corinthians 15 Part 5 If There Is No Resurrection...

    Paul has brought the church at Corinth to the utmost importance to unify them, the gospel. The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Many died on a cross, but only one came back from the dead, never to die again, and that is Jesus. Paul tells them if Jesus did not come out of…

  7. Episode 596: 1 Corinthians 15 Part 4 What Does It Mean to “Receive”? Part 2

    We are taking a deep dive into 1 Corinthians 15:1 and 2 to see what Paul says about the gospel of Jesus and how it changes our lives. What we are seeing with some of the Corinthians is that the gospel hasn’t really made a difference in their lives and they continue to live in sin. Paul has warned...

  8. Episode 595: 1 Corinthians 15 Part 3 What Does It Mean to “Receive”?

    We are taking a deep dive into 1 Corinthians 15:1 and 2 to see what Paul says about the gospel of Jesus and how it changes our lives. What we are seeing with some of the Corinthians is that the gospel hasn’t really made a difference in their lives and they continue to live in sin. Paul has warned...

  9. Episode 594: 1 Corinthians 15 Part 2 The Gospel Humbles

    If anyone had a right to boast about his credentials, it is Paul. He was climbing up the ladder of success as a Pharisee and was in a very powerful position until he wasn’t. He was on the road to Damascus to persecute more believers when Jesus appeared out of nowhere and changed his entire life,...

  10. Episode 593: 1 Corinthians 15 Part 1 I Want to Be Recognized!

    In the church at Corinth, there were some people who thought they were “super” spiritual, that they had better gifts than others, they had a higher status than others, they had more wisdom and superior knowledge than others, therefore they were abusing the gifts given to them by God. What they…

  11. Episode 592: 1 Corinthians 14 Part 6 Zip Your Lip Woman?!?! (Extended)

    We left the last podcast with unfinished discussion. We had to rush thought the end of the chapter where Paul tells the women in the church at Corinth to be silent. Does he mean that a woman cannot speak at all in a church? Not even a word? Are they really supposed to wait until they get home to...

  12. Episode 591: 1 Corinthians 14 Part 5 Hey Women...Zip it! Part 1

    We left the last podcast with unfinished discussion. We had to rush thought the end of the chapter where Paul tells the women in the church at Corinth to be silent. Does he mean that a woman cannot speak at all in a church? Not even a word? Are they really supposed to wait until they get home to...

  13. Episode 590: 1 Corinthians 14 Part 4 Women Keep Silent Revisited

    I’m not sure how many times we have talked about this subject since we have covered Paul’s writings but here we are again! I wasn’t there and I do not claim to have all the answers but if Paul means for a woman to be completely silent in churches, then why does he tell them to pray with their…

    more

  14. Episode 589: 1 Corinthians 14 Part 3 I Don't Get It

    Paul encourages the believers at Corinth to prophecy instead of speak in tongues, a foreign concept to our charismatic churches today who often push speaking in tongues on believers. Paul tells the church at Corinth it is better for them to prophecy because they speak in a language that everyone...

  15. Episode 588: 1 Corinthians 14 Part 2 The Lifeless Instrument

    Paul mentions some musical instruments when he is talking about speaking in tongues and prophesying to the church at Corinth. This church is seeking spiritual gifts with such passion but they have left out love, in particular, Agape love, or unconditional love. They are more concerned about the...

  16. Episode 587: 1 Corinthians 14 Part 1 Pursue Love...

    Paul just spent some time telling the church at Corinth, who pursues spiritual gifts with passion, telling them there is a more excellent way and that way is love. Not just any love, but Agape love, or love that is unconditional. This is something they struggled with because they are divided…

    more

  17. Episode 586: 1 Corinthians 13 Part 6 It's Time To Grow Up

    Paul has a flashback to when he was child as he writes his letter to the church at Corinth. He wasn't having pleasant memories, instead he was telling this church who is full of believers who think they are so mature, so wise, and have so many gifts of the Spirit, how they are acting like…

    more

  18. Episode 585: 1 Corinthians 13 Part 5 What Does A Roof and Love Have in Common?

    When Paul talks about love in 1 Corinthians 13, he uses a bunch of verbs. Then he says, "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." We break these four things down in this podcast...What are they? What does Paul mean? The first one is a big one and it…

    more

  19. Episode 584: 1 Corinthians 13 Part 4 Love Is A Noun Made of Verbs!

    Paul is telling the church at Corinth they need to be united, not divided, so he is in the middle of telling them about how to act when they come together. After talking about the gifts of the Spirit and how these gifts are to bring unity to the body, he goes into telling them about a more...

  20. Episode 583: 1 Corinthians 13 Part 3 Ingredients of Love

    Paul is telling the church at Corinth they need to be united, not divided, so he is in the middle of telling them about how to act when they come together. After talking about the gifts of the Spirit and how these gifts are to bring unity to the body, he goes into telling them about a more...

  21. Episode 582: 1 Corinthians 13 Part 2 What's Love Got To Do With It?

    Tina Turner sang a song in the 80s called, "What's Love Got To Do With It?" Well, Tina, Paul says Love has everything to do with it and without Love, we are nothing but a noisy cymbal being smacked out of time and rhythm! It just doesn't make any sense and it standing out alone makng a bunch of...

  22. Episode 581: 1 Corinthians 13 Part 1 The Love Chapter?!?!

    When people hear 1 Corinthians 13, their mind immediately goes to “love” but is that what Paul is talking about in this chapter? Yes, he mentions it many times and explains what love is, but why is Paul explaining love to the church at Corinth? It is because they are divided, they are enjoying…

    more

  23. Episode 580: 1 Corinthians 12 Part 2 Be A Toe, Not Toe Jam

    Paul uses a person’s body to explain how the body of Christ is to function. He says we are one body that serves the same Lord, worships the same God, and is filled with one Spirit, the Holy Spirit that comes from the One True God we worship! He uses the foot, the hand, the ear, the eyes, and the...

  24. Episode 579: 1 Corinthians 12 Part 1 Am I A Pagan?!?!

    Paul refers to people who have not given their lives to Jesus and have not been filled with his Spirit as “pagan”. These pagans put their faith in idols, false gods, that couldn’t even speak, they could not communicate with the very people that were serving them. The pagans worshipped these false...

  25. Episode 578: 1 Corinthians 11 Part 6 Many Parts, One Body...

    Paul uses a person’s body to explain how the body of Christ is to function. He says we are one body that serves the same Lord, worships the same God, and is filled with one Spirit, the Holy Spirit that comes from the One True God we worship! He uses the foot, the hand, the ear, the eyes, and the...

  26. Episode 577: 1 Corinthians 11 Part 5 The Lord’s Supper: The Heart of the Matter

    As we have seen from the previous chapters, there was division in this church. It was made of three different cultures: Jew, Greek, and Roman. Trying to get Jews and Gentiles to mesh together and be one was very challenging for Paul, especially when he was away from the congregation. One would...

  27. Episode 576: 1 Corinthians 11 Part 4 Head Coverings, Hair, and Culture Part 2

    Paul tells the men they should not wear a head covering while telling the women to wear one. Then he says the women have long hair for a covering and men should not have long hair. Is this even an issue in the church for today? Is this a “culture” thing? We like to say it is because in our…

  28. Episode 575: 1 Corinthians 11 Part 3 Head coverings, Hair, and Culture Part 1

    Paul tells the men they should not wear a head covering while telling the women to wear one. Then he says the women have long hair for a covering and men should not have long hair. Is this even an issue in the church for today? Is this a “culture” thing? We like to say it is because in our…

    more

  29. Episode 574: 1 Corinthians 11 Part 2 God, Man, Woman...The Order of Authority

    Paul is going to bring order to the chaos at the church in Corinth. Since we started studying this letter, we have seen all kinds of chaos in this church and it is going to get worse before it gets better. Paul begins to instruct them how to conduct themselves as they come together as one body…

    more

  30. Episode 573: 1 Corinthians 11 Part 1 Follow My Lead

    Paul says to the church at Corinth, “Imitate me as I imitate Christ.” The word in the Greek is where we get our word “mimic.” Paul is saying that he has such a close relationship with Jesus that he mimics him in everything he does and therefore, he can say to the believers, “Y’all mimic me…

    more

  31. Episode 572: 1 Corinthians 10 Part 4 Don’t Be Fooled By Freedom

    The believers at Corinth believe that since they have decided to follow Jesus and he has given them freedom from the bondage of sin, they can do whatever they want. In their culture, just like ours, temptation is all around them, everywhere they go. Temples with prostitutes are seen from any...

  32. Episode 571: 1 Corinthians 10 Part 3 Temptation Is Not Sin

    Paul tells the believers in Corinth, “If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.” Why does he say this? Because some of these believers think they have a ticket to do anything they want since they started following Jesus but what Paul is emphasizing to them is this is not the...

  33. Episode 570: 1 Corinthians 10 Part 2 Take Heed Lest You Fall

    The church at Corinth was filled with people who loved sin yet they had said “Yes!” to Jesus and Paul calls them holy. This entire letter is Paul answering questions for them that tries to correct their sinful choices as they continue to give into temptations. The believers in Corinth were very...

  34. Episode 569: 1 Corinthians 10 Part 1 Remember...

    I cannot tell you how many times someone has come to me and said, “Remember when...” and they give me a bunch of details about something that happened to us as kids. The problem is, I cannot remember anything about the event. I can’t remember it even happening! How can they remember so many…

    more

  35. Episode 568: 1 Corinthians 9 Part 4 Buffet Yourself And Stay Away From the Buffet!

    Paul was a small man according to how people describe him in 2 Corinthians 10:10. But I think there is a reason for this. He was disciplined in his life just like an athlete. He maintained good health by eating right and getting lots of exercise with all the traveling he is doing. He had to be in...

  36. Episode 567: 1 Corinthians 9 Part 3 Finding Common Ground

    If you want to share the gospel with someone, and you should want to share it with as many people as possible, then you have to find common ground with the person or people. Paul says when he is with the weak, he is weak; when he is with the Jews, he lives as a Jew; when he is with Gentiles, he...

  37. Episode 566: 1 Corinthians 9 Part 2 Should Preachers Get Paid?

    One of the biggest debates in churches today is, “Should preachers get paid?” and if they should, then how much? Where do you draw the line? Is he to make more than the average income of the congregation? And why do churches hide the preacher’s salary in the budget? Why do they not make it…

    more

  38. Episode 565: 1 Corinthians 9 Part 1 Paul Defends His Authority

    There were 12 original, hand-picked disciples of Jesus until Judas died by suicide. After he died, Peter said, “Boys, there has to be 12 so we need to fill this vacancy!” So they chose two men who met the qualifications to be an apostle, “they had to be with Jesus from the beginning when he…

    more

  39. Episode 564: 1 Corinthians 8 Part 2 Hold The Meat And Just Give Me Buns

    Christ has set us free from sin, yes, but do we have freedom? Can we do anything we want? No! And this is Paul’s point in chapter 8. If a weaker believer sees another believer eating in the food court at the pagan temple, they may believe it is OK for them to do the same thing, but in doing so,...

  40. Episode 563: 1 Corinthians 8 Part 1 I Can Do Whatever I Want...Not!

    Paul has been asked a question about eating meat that has been sacrificed to idols. In his response to the church at Corinth, he keeps bringing up their “Superior knowledge” about the subject at hand. Jews would have God’s law concerning which food to eat and not eat, while the Gentiles didn’t…

    more

  41. Episode 562: 1 Corinthians 7 Part 4 Know Whose You Are and Who You Are!

    Paul’s main goal for the believers in Corinth is for each believer to focus on Jesus and to be an example of him. In order to do this, they are going to have to quit the sexual immorality that is running through the church. If they can’t control their sexual desire then each man is to get a wife...

  42. Episode 561: 1 Corinthians 7 Part 3 Jesus Is the Focal Point

    Paul wrote to the church at Corinth, people who have said “yes!” to Jesus and are filled with his Spirit and yet cannot curb their sexual appetite. He told them to get a spouse if they can’t stop having sex with one another. But he tells them it would be better for them to be like him—single...

  43. Episode 560: 1 Corinthians 7 Part 2 You Are Bought With A High Price

    I did a Google search on the cost of Herd’s Temple which is the Temple Jesus and the disciples, even Paul and his coworkers, are familiar with, and money wise, the estimation was over $300 billion. Yes, that is Billion with a “B”! It all came tumbling down when the Romans destroyed it in AD70!…

    more

  44. Episode 559: 1 Corinthians 7 Part 1 Get You A Spouse!

    Paul has chased a rabbit in the previous chapter when he confronted the man having sex with his stepmom but in chapter 7 he comes back to the questions the church has asked him in a letter. That question must have asked something about all the sexual sin that is happening in the church in…

    more

  45. Episode 558: 1 Corinthians 6 Part 2 Died Or Dying To Sin

    One of the issues with the church at Corinth is they do not realize who they are in Christ. They have forgotten the old, sinful man was dead and they are allowing sin to be in the church. Paul keeps naming some of the sin they are contending with and in this particular instance, they are boasting...

  46. Episode 557: 1 Corinthians 6 Part 1 You Belong to Christ...Act Like It!

    The church at Corinth had many issues and the one Paul has been discussing in chapter 5 and now in chapter 6 is sexual immorality, in particular, a man was sleeping with his dad’s wife better known as his stepmom. At the beginning of chapter 6, Paul discusses the church taking one another to…

  47. Episode 556: Special Episode! Mary's Sermon from the Joshua Series

    Due to a family emergency, we are not able to record this week. If you would, please keep my mother in law in your prayers. Her name is Janet and her cancer has been in remission for over a year but it has returned in three different areas. We appreciate you!

  48. Episode 555: 1 Corinthians 5 Part 8 The Continual Practice of Sin

    There is a major sin issue Paul addresses in 1 Corinthians 5 and he tells the church, who is boasting about this particular sin, that this man should be banned from their assembly, he should be turned over to Satan, and they should not even eat a meal with this guy! Sin is serious and is not a…

    more

  49. Episode 554: 1 Corinthians 5 Part 7 The Seriousness of Sin

    Sin is serious business. It comes with great consequences and the one being the worst is separation from God for eternity. Praise God, if we know Jesus, we have an advocate with the Father! Someone like a lawyer who pleads our case before God and says, “They are not guilty because they know me.”...

  50. Episode 553: 1 Corinthians 5 Part 6 Judging Others

    Has someone told you, “Don’t judge me.” Or something like that? Are we to judge others? Paul makes it clear that he has already judged the man who is having sexual relations with his stepmom and he isn’t even present! The church at Corinth was boasting about this sin instead of dealing with and...
