Bible Study Episodes

Today we’re going to be wrapping up that series of podcasts “Can I Know God: What is God Like?” by looking at those qualities or attributes that He shares with US, humans. The last podcast we looked at those attributes that are uniquely His. But, since God created man with the desire to walk and fe…

We have seen the all too common and well-worn out image of God being this cosmic grandfather—this gentle old man—in His glowing white beard and glowing white robe, sitting on some glorious marble throne in some far-off heavenly abode. And that may make good Hollywood or imagination, that may make G…

This is my special Easter podcast where we will be learning about the RESURRECTION of the Lord Jesus Christ. This may be review for some of you, or it may be new knowledge for some of you. It might be too deep for some, too shallow for others. Either way, we are going to celebrate the Resurrect…

This week’s podcast is going to look at the climax of Passion Week, the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ, and what that means for us. I limit the application to Jesus’ suffering in Gethsemane, His betrayal, arrest, faux trial and beatings, His scourging, His condemnation to death in a mock tria…

Continuing our studies in Biblical doctrine and practical theology in this podcast, which is a fancy way of saying "What does the Bible teach and how does it apply to my life?" We started out with why the Bible is important to your life and I'm now into the question of "Can I know God?" This is the…

Can you know? Or are all of us just taking a guess? Is it a cosmic joke, with a council of deities in the heavens having a big laugh at us groping around for the answer? Are we playing a shell game of "find the god?" Watching an inter-galactic episode of "To Tell the Truth?" Will the REAL God pleas…

We can teach and preach “theology” all day long but if we can’t discover how it applies to your life—how it looks in real life and what it means to YOU—the study of it isn’t going to amount to much. I had a Bible college professor once who said “He who reads the newspaper knows what’s going on i…

Salvation. What is it? There is no gray area in that question in the Christian faith; there is no neutrality on this issue—we must have a position on this as Christians. And this is an area where I think holding on to our traditions interferes with a right relationship with God, today and in the fu…

This is part two of Practical Christianity, where we examine the answer to the question: What does it mean to “live” as a Christian? In last week’s podcast we examined offering up our lives as a “living sacrifice, which was “reasonable service” to God. In short, it means to embrace God out of grati…

What does it mean to “live as a Christian?” We hear that question asked all the time. And we hear various answers, too. Many of them erroneous. I read recently on a meme something to the effect of “I don’t reject Jesus’ teachings, I just can’t accept the behavior of those who profess to be living t…

The Bible tells us about lies...and gives us the truth. The Bible tells us about two sources of information—information that has its origin in God’s revelation to us, and information meant to deceive us and turn us away from God’s revelation, which would be Satanic in origin. That’s it. Two sources…

The Bible tells us about lies. The Bible tells us about two sources of information—information that has its origin in God’s revelation to us, and information meant to deceive us and turn us away from God’s revelation, which would be Satanic in origin. That’s it. Two sources. In our "information age…

The Bible is God's revelation to man--to ALL men. It was intended to be understood. Think of the Bible as God's conversation with YOU. This podcast presents some basic approaches to understanding the Word of God as it was intended--as God's love letter to humanity. God, through His Holy Spirit, rev…

Consider this absolute truth: everything in life comes from God. There can be no meaning in life apart from God. God wants us to know Him, invites us, in fact, to know Him. Who is God and what is He like? It is important for us to know this because if we get it wrong, everything else in life will b…

Many people go to church on Easter Sunday to only hear the story of Christ’s resurrection. Yes, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is central to the Christian faith. In fact, the Apostle Paul said there is no faith without it. But the resurrection is a symbol of victory, of accomplishment, of the cul…
