  Ep. 44 | Future Glory: Why Your Pain Is Temporary and the Promise Is Eternal | Romans 8

  Oct 2, 202614 min

  If you've ever wondered why God lets His people wander through hard seasons, this episode is for you. In this message of the Glorify & Grow podcast, Pastor Thomas Kulp of Horizon Church in Bosque Farms, New Mexico, brings the suffering-and-glory series to its conclusion — fixing our eyes on the future glory that makes present pain bearable. Pastor Thomas draws a line from the Israelites' forty years in the desert to our own seasons of wandering: God had a promised land in view the whole time, and He makes the same promise to us. In one of the message's most striking moments, he reframes the story of Moses — who did receive God's promise, just not the earthly land he expected — as a picture of the eternal inheritance waiting for every believer. It's why Romans 8 matters so much, running from "no condemnation" all the way to "no separation." The heart of this episode is deeply personal. Pastor Thomas shares the story of his wife's cancer diagnosis — his fear of losing her, and how, fifteen years cancer-free, he can look back and see that God used even that to save his marriage, draw them closer, and reveal the reality of future glory. Our pain and suffering are temporary. Creation itself groans for renewal. And like a rosebush pruned back in winter, what looks like loss is preparing us for greater beauty to come. In this episode: – The Israelites' forty years — and our own seasons of wandering – Moses and the promised land we actually inherit – Romans 8: from no condemnation to no separation – A personal testimony of cancer, fear, and future glory – Why all suffering is temporary and creation groans for renewal Key verse: "The sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us."

  Episode #43

  Ep. 43 | Suffering and Glory: Living Between Pain and Promise | Romans 8:18

  Sep 29, 202614 min

  Look back over your life — has it all been a bed of roses? In this episode of the Glorify & Grow podcast, Pastor Thomas Kulp of Horizon Church in Bosque Farms, New Mexico, sits with two words that shape every believer's story: suffering and glory. Anchored in Romans 8:18 — "the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us" — Pastor Thomas reframes hardship as the very thing God uses to transform us. Like a caterpillar wiggling and bound inside the cocoon before it emerges as a butterfly, and like the pain of childbirth that gives way to new life, our struggles aren't proof that God has left us. They're the process. He never leaves us and never forsakes us — even in the mess. With his trademark honesty and humor (including an unforgettable home-remodel story that did not go as planned), Pastor Thomas names where most of us actually live: between pain and promise. He challenges the empty comfort of prosperity teaching, reminds us that leaning on our own strength only makes the walk harder, and points to a different mindset entirely — seeing every hardship as training that makes us stronger, held in the shadow of God's future glory. This is part one of a two-part message — the teaching continues in next week's episode. In this episode: – Suffering and glory: the two words that frame the Christian life – Romans 8:18 and the glory waiting to be revealed – The caterpillar, the cocoon, and childbirth — why the process hurts – Living "between pain and promise" in a world that disappoints – Why leaning on your own strength makes the walk harder Key verse: "The sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us."

  Episode 41 | The Mind Set on the Spirit: What the Law Couldn't Do, Christ Did | Romans 8:5-8

  Sep 17, 202612 min

  What the law could never do, God did by sending His Son. In this episode of the Glorify & Grow podcast, Pastor Thomas Kulp of Horizon Church in Bosque Farms, New Mexico, brings the Romans 8 journey to its heart: Christianity doesn't begin with what we can do for God, but with recognizing what He has already done for us. Pastor Thomas reminds us that Jesus didn't simply cancel the sentence — He entered the courtroom, took our offenses on Himself, and paid the price in full. The result is a truth we can walk in with confidence: there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. But he presses further — this isn't just comfort for the day we die. It's meant to change how we live right now. From there the message turns practical with Romans 8:5–8 and the contrast between two mindsets: a life set on the flesh (self-centered, sinful, short-thinking) versus a life set on the Spirit. What does setting your mind on the Spirit actually look like? Pastor Thomas offers the questions a Spirit-led believer learns to ask: Does this please God? Will it reflect Jesus to others? How can I love and serve people better? Will this bear spiritual fruit? He closes with a candid story about the weight of influence — and a reminder that the goal is simple: glorify God by growing others in Christ. In this episode: – What the law could never do — and how Christ fulfilled it – Why "no condemnation" should change your daily walk, not just your eternity – The flesh mindset vs. the Spirit mindset (Romans 8:5–8) – Practical questions a Spirit-led believer learns to ask – How our choices point others toward Christ — or away from Him Key verse: "Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit."

  Episode #40

  Ep. 40 | No Condemnation, But Consequences: How God Uses Discipline to Shape You | Romans 8

  Sep 14, 202615 min

  If there's "no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus," why does life still come with consequences? In this episode of the Glorify & Grow podcast, Pastor Thomas Kulp of Horizon Church in Bosque Farms, New Mexico, continues in Romans 8 and draws the line most of us blur — the difference between condemnation and consequences. Romans 8:1 is God's answer to the desperate cry at the end of Romans 7. The verdict has already been declared: not "eventually no condemnation," not "less condemnation if you perform well enough" — no condemnation. But Pastor Thomas is clear that freedom from the guilty verdict doesn't erase the consequences of our choices. Those consequences aren't proof we're rejected; they're how God shapes and matures us. Like touching a hot stove once, or bonking three-quarters through a marathon, the mark teaches us — and it's a mark God ultimately washes away. From there he unpacks a sign of real spiritual maturity: welcoming discipline instead of resenting it. Mature believers stop asking "Why, God?" and start asking "What are You teaching me?" — because the Lord disciplines the ones He loves (Hebrews 12:6). The message closes in on the purpose of the law itself: holy and good, it reveals God's standard and exposes our sin — but it could never forgive our sins or change our hearts. In this episode: – Condemnation vs. consequences — and why the verdict is already settled – Why consequences are God's tool to shape and mature us – The mark of a mature believer: welcoming correction (Hebrews 12:6) – Counting trials as joy that builds Christian character – What the law can and cannot do (Romans 8:2–4) Key verse: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." (Romans 8:1) If something spoke to you, share this episode with someone who needs to hear it. To connect with our community, visit Horizon Church online.

  Episode #39

  Ep. 39 | No Condemnation: Who You Are When God Sees You Through Christ | Romans 8:1

  Sep 9, 202613 min

  "There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." It may be one of the most freeing sentences in all of Scripture — but what does it actually mean for how you live? In this episode of the Glorify & Grow podcast, Pastor Thomas Kulp of Horizon Church in Bosque Farms, New Mexico, builds toward Romans 8:1 and unpacks the freedom it promises. Pastor Thomas is careful to clear up a common misunderstanding: no condemnation doesn't mean you can do whatever you want and coast into heaven. There's no condemnation — but there can still be consequences, and God uses trials to shape us. Drawing on the Apostle Paul's own story — a zealous Pharisee who persecuted the church until a road-to-Damascus encounter changed everything — he shows what a transformed life looks like and why we can trust Paul's words as God-breathed, not opinion. The heart of the message is a picture you won't forget: standing before God's throne as Jesus hands Him a pair of glasses and says, "Look at that one through My glasses — he's in Me." Our freedom from condemnation doesn't rest in our ability to overcome sin, but in Christ's saving work. We're made new. The old life no longer defines us. In this episode: – Why "no condemnation" is not a license to sin – Paul's transformation and why we can trust his testimony – Why God's Word never changes — and we're the ones called to change – The "therefore" of Romans 8 as the culmination of justification by faith – Seen through Christ: how God looks at those who are in Jesus Key verse: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." (Romans 8:1) If something spoke to you, share this episode with someone who needs to hear it. To connect with our community, visit Horizon Church online.
