Episode Title: The Chosen: 

Brother Mike delivers an urgent, unfiltered study on what he calls "the secret plan of God." Preaching from the heart of Phoenix, Arizona, he unpacks the profound spiritual meaning behind the parables of Christ, shedding light on the ultimate invitation extended to humanity: the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Through a deep dive into New Testament Greek and a gripping personal testimony from the streets of Skid Row in Los Angeles, this episode challenges listeners to look closely at their own spiritual standing. It is a sobering reminder that while the invitation to salvation is universal, true transformation requires putting on the righteousness of Christ.

Key Takeaways


The Ultimate Goal: God’s foundational desire is reconciliation. He actively wills that no human being should perish, but that everyone—regardless of their past—comes to a point of true repentance.


The Parable of the Wedding Garment: Exploring the symbolism of Matthew 22. To attend the heavenly banquet, one cannot rely on personal philosophy, goodness, or titles; you must be clothed in the literal righteousness of Christ.


Called vs. Chosen: Understanding the stark reality that while the gospel message is loudly broadcast to everyone (Kleitas), only a few truly respond, accept the conditions, and are ultimately selected (Eclectus).
