04-18-25 part 2: One Mediator, One Mission: Jesus at the Center of It All

1. One Mediator, One Savior

Dr. Spoon opens with 1 Timothy 2:5—“There is one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus.” He unpacks the Greek word mesitēs, meaning someone who bridges the gap between two parties. Jesus isn’t just a prophet or a good teacher—He’s the only one who fully represents both God and man. Unlike anyone else in history, Jesus is 100% divine and 100% human. That makes Him completely unique—and fully qualified—to restore our broken relationship with God. If you're still on the fence about inviting Him into your life, Dr. Spoon urges, “He’s knocking—open the door.”

2. Gospel on the Go: Wherever You Are

Shifting to Acts 8, Dr. Spoon explores Philip’s incredible ministry journey. After baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch, Philip is caught up by the Spirit and finds himself in Azotus, preaching the Gospel all along the way to Caesarea. Dr. Spoon drives home the point: wherever you go, take the Gospel with you. Whether you’re traveling cross-country or running errands, be available. You never know how one moment of obedience—just one conversation—can change someone’s eternity. You don’t have to be Billy Graham. You just have to be available.

3. New Creation, New Destiny

In a powerful theological wrap-up, Dr. Spoon connects Revelation 21:5 (“I am making everything new”) to 2 Corinthians 5:17 (“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation”). The resurrection isn’t just a historical event—it’s the force that makes us spiritually new right now. From Genesis to Revelation, the message is clear: light comes, darkness flees, and the old gives way to the new. Through Christ, we don’t just have a better version of our old lives—we have resurrection life. And one day, we’ll dance on streets of gold with no pain, no sorrow, and no more tears.

4. You Are New—So Live Like It

Closing with a joyful tone, Dr. Spoon reminds listeners: you're not just saved—you’re transformed. The resurrection means you’ve been given a new identity, a new heart, and a new eternity. It’s not about becoming a religious robot—it’s about becoming fully alive in Jesus. So stop walking in defeat. You are not who you used to be. The resurrection rewrote your story. The future is glorious, and the invitation is real. Jesus says, “Come, follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” It’s time to live like you’ve been made new.
