Post Tenebras Lux | The Goose

Redemption Hill Church Sermons

In this episode, we dive into Romans chapter six, verses four through eleven, exploring the profound themes of identity and regeneration in Christ. We reflect on the life of John Hus, affectionately known as "The Goose," a key figure in the Reformation who boldly preached the gospel despite facing severe opposition from the Catholic Church.

I share Hus's journey from a young boy in Prague to a professor and ultimately a minister, emphasizing the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in his life. We discuss how Hus's teachings, influenced by Wycliffe, challenged the status quo and brought the message of grace to the people, leading to his martyrdom.

Throughout the episode, I highlight the importance of theology and understanding our identity in Christ, reminding listeners that we are all filled with the same Holy Spirit that empowered great reformers like Hus. I encourage everyone to engage with Scripture, as it shapes our understanding and transforms our lives.

As we reflect on Hus's courage and the impact of his faith, I remind us that while we may not face the same trials, we are called to live out our faith boldly in our everyday lives. We celebrate the victory over sin and death through Christ, urging listeners to embrace their new identity and purpose in Him.

In closing, we pray for the strength to live with boldness and grace, continuing the work of the kingdom in our communities.
