It Is Written

In this episode we are in the book of James, often called the “wisdom book of the New Testament”. In this small yet profound book, James is able to address trials and temptations, the sins of the tongue, pride and humility, and the importance of prayer. He ultimately answers a very important question: how exactly can I begin to apply God’s word to my life?

In this episode we are going to be taking a look at Psalm 40. David, the author of this Psalm, is feeling particularly overwhelmed by his present circumstances. A feeling we can all relate to. How does God respond when we feel like this and cry out to Him? And what can I do in response to God’s deliverance?

In this episode we will be looking at something Jesus said in Matthew 12. What is commonly known as, “blaspheming the Holy Spirit.” What did Jesus mean when he said that this would be an unforgivable sin? And is this something I should be concerned about?

In this episode we are taking a closer look at Jesus’ command to His disciples to love one another just as he has loved us. What does that mean? And how can I have the kind of love that is willing to serve others, as well as correct them when they need it?

In this episode we are in 2 Corinthians 3. We are discussing the glory and wonder that the gospel brought to the Corinthians when Paul delivered it to them. In what ways should our lives be changed in the light of the good news that is found in Jesus? And how can I be excited to shine my light?

In this episode we are discussing the common way of thinking that is often described as “Red Letter Christianity”. Meaning, that Jesus’ words ought to carry more weight and authority than that of the Apostles words that we find in the book of Acts and the rest of the NT. Is there room for such a case in the Bible?

In this episode we are talking about knowing the Bible in light of the culture it took place in. Have you ever heard someone discount a Bible passage because of how different the people’s background or culture was? Or was the Bible always written in a way that would transcend time, cultures, and people?

In this episode we will be in Judges 6, 7, 8. Where we will be discussing the life of Gideon, a judge of Israel. What lessons do we learn from him in regard to drawing on the strength of the Lord? And when am I also in danger of claiming victories for myself that belong to God?
