118 - The Book of Revelation

Pastor Aaron White

This week we welcome back Pastor Aaron White to the podcast. Aaron has dropped by once again to talk about his latest book, Seeing the Savior: A Devotional Introduction to Biblical Theology. Maybe you've heard that Jesus is on every page of Scripture, but have you ever wondered about seeing him in some of the difficult or strange passages in the Old Testament? Is He really in all of Scripture? The answer is yes and Pastor White does a great job in making that clear in this easy-to-read devotional. Listen in for this and much more...

Remembering Pastor Ken Hereford

Last week I learned of the passing of one of God's servants, Pastor Ken Hereford. He attended Bible college at Maranatha Baptist Bible University where he received a degree in Theological Studies after which he launched into church planting here in the stateline area of Illinois and Wisconsin. One of these churches, Grace &amp; Truth Church, actually met in my classroom in its early days. It was my pleasure to teach four of his children and invite him to speak in my chapel service several times. Ken had not only a love for Christ but a passion for the gospel and desire to see the Scripture properly taught. So, I can think of no better way to honor him that to air one of his messages this week. This message was preached at one of our National Day of Prayer services. You won't want to miss this episode! If you have ever been concerned that people hear and spread the true gospel and not one of its many counterfeits, this message is for you.

Ok, so this episode is a little late due to an unexpected stay in the hospital But, here we are at last celebrating pastor appreciation month. So, basically, I shoved a microphone in front of several confused pastors and asked them each, "When, as a pastor, do you feel most appreciated?" My prayer is that through this episode you will not only gain a better appreciation for your pastor, but learn how to express that appreciation in a meaningful way.

Episode 190 - The Christian and Sports

Pastor Bob Bixby

Legalism is something every Christian must fight against. We all have the urge a time to measure our faith (or the faith of others) but some outside, extra-Biblical standard. In hopes of solidifying our faith, legalism only drives us away from Christ leads to depend on our own strength and virtue. This week's podcast features a clip from a sermon preached by one of my favorite preachers, Bob Bixby of <a href="https://redeemerfremont.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Redeemer Church</a> in Freemont, CA. Pastor Bob was once my pastor and still continues to be a mentor and friend. I think you will find this extremely helpful in your fight against the spiritually deadly inclination.

189 - Legalism and the Slippery Slope

Moving theology from the classroom to the living room.

The Basic Bible Podcast seeks to take high-level theology and place it down on the bottom shelf for everyone to enjoy.&nbsp;That’s right – enjoy.&nbsp;Theology is not merely an academic pursuit but a passionate journey to learn more about our relationship with God.&nbsp; Each week we will discuss a different theological concept and unpack its meaning in a way that is both edifying and applicable.&nbsp;Joining us will be local pastors and theologians with a desire to see you grow as we discuss the truths we hold so dear.&nbsp;&nbsp;We’ll define our terms, look at the pertinent Scripture, discuss dangers to be avoided and then always end on a practical note.&nbsp;We’ll make it easy for you to think through and then leave you with a few resources in case you want to dive in a little deeper.&nbsp;
