No Compromise Radio Podcast

Pastor Steve has claimed squatters rights in the NoCo studio.  Listen in as he interviews Rochadd Hendrix on today's show.

Produced/Edited By: Marrio Escobar (Owner of D2L Productions)  In this podcast episode of "No Compromise Radio," host Mike Abendroth discusses the theological concept of "limited atonement," arguing that Jesus died only for the elect, not for every person ever born. He addresses common counterarguments, particularly interpretations of "world" in John 3:16 and "whole world" in 1 John 2:2, explaining that the term "world" in these contexts refers to humanity as a whole, including Gentiles, rather than every individual. Mike bases his primary argument for limited atonement on the Trinity, asserting that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit share a single will, and since the Father chooses only some for salvation, the Son's atonement must also be for that chosen group.  Produced/Edited By: Marrio Escobar (Owner of D2L Productions)  Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Rx5CBZ5ApjM

Pastor Mike Abendroth, Luke 9:23-27 - 5 Verses That Will Change Your Life!

In this podcast episode, Pastor Mike discusses the concept of God as King, drawing from his book "King: How the Sovereignty of God Changes Everything".He explores how the biblical understanding of a king's throne room as a place of judgment transforms into a "throne of grace" for believers through Christ's work. Mike emphasizes that Christians, as children of God and with Jesus as their high priest, can confidently approach God in prayer for mercy, grace, and help, even in their weaknesses and sins, because judgment for their sins occurred at Calvary.

Pastor Mike discusses the importance of encouragement, particularly through the lens of the Transfiguration of Jesus as described in the Bible. He explains that the Transfiguration served to encourage the disciples, future readers of the Bible, and even Jesus himself, by offering a glimpse of heavenly glory and affirming the worth of enduring suffering and self-denial for the sake of following Christ. Mike emphasizes that despite life's trials and difficulties, the ultimate glory awaiting believers in heaven makes all present struggles worthwhile. He concludes by encouraging listeners to find hope and encouragement in the person of Jesus and the promise of eternal glory.

In this episode of No-Co Radio Pastor Mike Abendroth focuses on self-denial, picking up one's cross daily, and following Jesus. He emphasizes that while salvation is by grace through faith, these actions are the necessary consequences of being a Christian, distinguishing them from a means to salvation. He explores what "self-denial" truly means, citing theological perspectives from Matthew Henry, John Calvin, R.C.Sproul, and Sinclair Ferguson, clarifying that it's not self-hatred but rather a denial of the "me first" impulse.

In this episode of No Compromise Radio, Pastor Mike discusses his new book, "King: How the Sovereignty of God Changes Everything," and recounts his recent trip to a conference on the Nicene Creed in Rome, where he declined a private meeting with the Pope to go to Sicily for his anniversary. This experience led him to ponder what he would say to the Pope if given 20 minutes, leading into a discussion of John chapter three and the concept of being "born again”. He emphasizes that salvation is by faith alone, not by works or self-righteousness, and highlights the sovereign act of God in regeneration.

In this podcast episode of No Compromise Radio, Pastor Mike discusses Christian weddings, emphasizing the symbolic roles of husbands and wives within a marriage.

Mike also touches on appropriate attendance at various types of weddings and concludes by likening heaven to a grand wedding celebration.

In this No-Co episode, Pastor Mike discusses the importance of sexual fidelity, drawing heavily from Proverbs chapter 7. He emphasizes that parents, especially fathers, should openly discuss sexual purity, using biblical wisdom to guide away from temptation. Mike illustrates the dangers of sexual sin through a vivid interpretation of Proverbs 7, likening a naive young man's downfall to an animal caught in a trap. He stresses the forgiveness available for past sexual sins through Christ and encourages listeners to live a life that honors God by fleeing temptation and embracing purity.
