Gospel Rant

Welcome to Gospel Rant! Watch me also at DrBillSenyard YouTube channel. Let's walk with Jesus those final steps again. Whirlwind days: Hosanna crowds, waving branches, Jerusalem hope. Yet beneath cheers, fractured—they craved rescuer on their terms. King of imagination, not suffering Servant. Upper room: final meal heavy with meaning. Broken bread. Lifted wine. Betrayer named. Basin water. Son of God washing dusty feet. Departure words. Invisible kingdom. They didn't grasp. Loneliness fogged in. Post‑meal Psalms rise: "Hosanna. Blessed is He who comes." Irony stung—prophetic words, unaware singers. Down Kidron slope. Across the brook. Gethsemane—"olive press." Pressure fitting. Jesus breaks the silence: "Tonight you all fall away." Protests. He knows better. How alone already? Takes Peter, James, and John farther. Past midnight. Twenty hours sleepless. Jesus is beyond tired. "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch." (Matt 26:38) Goes farther. Falls facedown.  “My Father, if possible, may this cup be taken from me…” And my Top 10 Prayer #2: “Yet not my will—Yours be done.” Welcome to the Top 10 Prayers of the New Testament.

Welcome to Gospel Rant! Watch this also at DrBillSenyard YouTube channel. What do you do when the bottom falls out of your world? When the unforgivable happens, and you can’t do anything to fix it? Do you grieve honestly, or armor up and move on, using coping strategies that only cover the wound? This prayer is for hurting, angry, wounded people. There is a God who says you should feel outraged by what’s happened to you. You were created to hate dishonor and to long for real honor, love, and glory. To stuff that is to commit a small crime against your own soul. Welcome to the Top 10 Prayers of the New Testament. We will see what you think.

Welcome to Gospel Rant! Watch this also on YouTube DrBillSenyard. Top Ten Prayer #6 comes from Paul, the very heart of his important letter to the Ephesians. If you want to understand Ephesians, you need to have digested this prayer. It is that important—and life changing. What if we've made prayer harder than it needs to be—and seen too little fruit? What if experiencing even 10% more of God's deep love for you right now—or 5% more for your neighbors, or 7.5% more of His pride in you—flowed not from performance, but Jesus' finished work? Wouldn't that change how you pray? Wouldn’t that change how often you pray? Wouldn’t the content and tone of your prayers feel entirely different? Paul models exactly that.

Welcome to Gospel Rant! Watch me also on DrBillSenyard YouTube channel. “What? The Lord’s Prayer is #8--not even top 5? Irreverent?” I get it. It’s Jesus’ words—familiar, revered. But spoiler: Top 5 are also Jesus’. After decades studying its context, its genius isn’t the script—it’s why Jesus answered, “How should we pray?” this way. We’ve misunderstood. It’s better than we think. Welcome to Gospel Rant Podcast and DrBillSenyard YouTube channel. As I said about the Old Testament ranking, they are all favorites of God. This list represents my highly subjective assessment. You may disagree with one or two, or which is ranked over another. Great. I would love to hear your thoughts. Bill@Gospel-App.com. One way or another, each is a powerful testimony of how real people really prayed. Spoiler alert. The Top 5 are from the lips of Jesus Himself. They are clearly worthy of study and embracing.

This is Part 7 of our series: The Church the Holy Spirit Built. Luke continues to highlight the powerful themes shaping this early movement—based on legitimate eyewitness accounts. There was a surprising unity, a deep sense of shared purpose, radical generosity, and undeniable power. So what was going on? If I had to sum it up for Theophilus, I’d simply say: “…and much grace was upon them all.” (Acts 4:33, NIV) In context, charis refers to the experienced favor of God—poured out over the gathered believers. This wasn’t just about agreeing with a confession of faith. They felt it. They knew it. God was irrationally for them. He actually liked them—as they were. Imagine that. Imagine what it would feel like to live in the confidence of God's unearned, unstoppable favor. It was visible. It was powerful. It was megale—great. Something unmistakably special. Something enviable. And honestly... Don’t we need that today? 👉 Like 👉 Share 👉 Comment 👉 Subscribe Your engagement helps spread this message.

This is Part 5 of our series: The Church the Holy Spirit Built. I’m continually amazed by the transformation of Peter. Who told him he could heal a crippled man?What if it hadn’t worked?What if he became a public joke?Wouldn’t it have been safer—and more practical—to just start a GoFundMe for the guy? And yet, there he is. Bold. Unfiltered. Taking a wild, Spirit-led risk.Honestly, don’t you imagine Peter was just as shocked as everyone else?I can almost see John turning to him, eyebrows raised, thinking:“What just happened?! Peter… what are you doing?” So why now? Why this place? Why this man? Because Jesus was scripting something far bigger.The physical healing was incredible, yes—but it was just the setup.The real miracle—the one that changes everything—was still to come.And with everyone’s attention locked in, Jesus speaks... through Peter. 👉 Like👉 Share👉 Comment👉 Subscribe Your interaction helps this message reach more people.
