It Is Written

In this episode we are talking about a Bible character that it would be easy to overlook if it wasn’t for the Hebrew writer. Melchizedek is introduced to us as the King of Salem and a priest to God Most High in Genesis 14. What does this man ultimately foreshadow? And how does this small story give me a greater appreciation for the depth of the Bible?

In this episode we are in Psalm 32. In this Psalm, David shows us how to express thanksgiving and praise for the forgiveness of sins that God gives us. From this psalm we are able to glean how we should feel when we sin, and exactly how to respond. Does my sorrow for sin match David’s example?

In this episode we are in Matthew 4. Concerning Jesus, the Hebrew writer says, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin.” (Hebrews 4:15, CSB) In this story, Jesus will show us exactly how to fight temptation, no matter what it is we are facing. 

In this episode we are continuing our 4 part series on understanding Jesus’ church. In this final lesson of the series we are going to see our first 3 lessons in action. To accomplish that we will be taking a look at the church in Antioch in Acts 11, where they were first called “Christians”.

In today’s episode we are continuing our 4 part series on understanding Jesus’ church. This particular episode will focus on addressing common misconceptions about the church. The misconceptions we will address today are mostly taught and believed by those of the Catholic faith. How do we handle these teachings?

In this episode we are doing the 2nd of 4 lessons on Understanding Jesus’ Church. Today we will address the difference between a local church and the idea of the universal church. Why make a distinction like this? And what is the local church doing together that the universal church is not?
