Mark All
Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Or better yet, can anything useful be learned from the way Jesus called his first disciples? And what's the point of changing water into wine?
How did Jesus start His ministry? What can we learn from His temptations in the wilderness? Surely there is great significance that applied not only to Jesus' original audience, but also applies to us today.
John the Baptist! We know the name, but often forget that there was more to his ministry than just eating locusts and wild honey. John was the forerunner - the "new Elijah" promised to prepare the way for Messiah.
How do we address and solve the modern dilemma of Bible poverty in the Church? Just as the problem is multi-faceted, so also the answer. It was once said that "Opportunity is often missed because it is dressed in overalls and looks like hard wo
We take a brief pause from our chronological study of the New Testament to talk about Bible poverty and how to gain proficiency with the Word of God.
What can we learn from the early life of Jesus to apply to our own lives? Submission. A humble heart honors God and others, seeking to avoid/minimize creating a stumbling block for others and then providing instruction (or sometimes correction)
Who were the Magi? What was the star of Bethlehem? And what principles can we draw from this information?
Merry Christmas! Join us in Luke 2 as we recount this familiar passage but with an unfamiliar spin.
Genealogies and birth announcements! The opening chapters of Luke and Matthew offer remarkable insights to the nature of hope, belief and righteousness.
Into the New Testament we go! Starting with the Gospels, we quickly discover that these overlap considerably, but also seem to complement each other and fill in gaps. Why do Matthew, Mark, Luke and John read differently from each other? Is t
The Maccabean revolt, Herod the Great and his three sons - the last two centuries BC included a lot of significance and heartache for the Israelites. The people were looking for a hero, a savior, or just a break. This episode, we conclude our
What happened during the inter-testamental period? Between Malachi and Matthew, did anything significant happen? It most certainly did!
Kings and dynasties are significant to the study of history. In the case of Israel, an equally significant study would be of the prophets to both the northern and southern tribes. Who were the prophets, and how can we find out more about them
What happened to Israel after the glory days of Solomon? Unfortunately the party didn't last for long. Some kings were good, but many were evil. And anytime we allow the wickedness of the flesh to dominate our life or culture, we're in a bad
"Your descendants will be more numerous than the sand on the sea shore." Was this promise to Abraham ever fulfilled? Yes! During the glories years of the reign of King Solomon, Israel truly experienced the reality of a land "flowing with mil
"Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart." What was the difference between King Saul and King David? King Saul LOOKED like a king, but David LIVED like a king.
"We want a King!" Saul was the full embodiment of what the people were wanting - someone who looked good and could lead them in military strength. We would be wise to be careful what we ask for. Looks and strength do not, in themselves, crea
Even when we think God's voice is sparse or distant, He's working to bring beauty from rubbish, order from chaos, revelation from obscurity. Join us as we pick back up with our Old Testament recap!
The people of Israel had successfully taken possession of the Promised Land, but what did they do with it? Worship God faithfully and bless the world around them? Sadly, no. The book of Judges records some of the darkest days in Israel's his
The Israelites were out of Egypt, but Egypt was still in the hearts and minds of the Israelites. It took 40 years, countless miracles, and an entire generation to die in the wilderness before the Israelites could complete a journey that would
It took less than a year to get the Israelites out of Egypt, but it took 40 years to get Egypt out of the Israelites. Join us as we continue our recap of the Old Testament in preparation for a New Testament study.
"Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat its mistakes." What happened when a new Pharaoh came into power that didn't know the history and heritage of the land he ruled? He began to demonize his allies. May we learn from his mist
In Genesis 3 we see the advent of the Great Balal - the great confusion that has plagued and continues to plague the human race - the confusion of Lordship. We can't properly relate to ourselves or others until we acknowledge the exclusive Lor
When we read the New Testament, we're picking up in the middle of the story, which can be confusing unless we know what leads up to it. Starting with a brief overview of eternity, the beginning of time and the creation narrative, join us as we
Looking back on the first year of this podcast, and looking forward to the year ahead. What is the role of Scripture in our life today, and how do we successfully read and apply it to our own life and context?
