Whitcomb Ministries

-Every human being that's ever walked this Earth has a God-created capacity to recognize what's right and wrong.--So stated Bible teacher Dr. John Whitcomb in this classic message, as he instructed us regarding the importance of the conscience. And that is our topic beginning on this edition of -Encounter God's Truth.--It is the first half of a two-part message called, -Steering Clear of Shipwreck.--We survey a number of Bible passages from both the Old and New Testaments, and Dr. Whitcomb's teaching exhorts us to examine ourselves and our own faithfulness to the Lord God in the spirit of the apostles. They asked Jesus-when He announced that one of them would betray Him--Lord, is it I--- As Dr. Whitcomb shared, this is not an easy message, but one that can help us to stay focused on the path of service and blessing.-In the words of host Wayne Shepherd, Whitcomb Ministries presents this Bible-teaching broadcast to increase your confidence in the certainty that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end.

As we are still beginning this New Year on -Encounter God's Truth,- we take an in-depth look at -The Importance of Biblical Theology.--This subject is sorely needed as we start 2024. Many are seriously concerned with the trends in our culture that are pulling us away from the standards of God's truth. How should we as Christians and churches respond to this situation---The amazing reality is that the Apostle Paul, writing by inspiration, anticipated such temptations and gave us the remedy for dealing with them.-Dr. John Whitcomb gave us hope by explaining the Scriptures to us-showing from the book of Acts and the Pastoral Epistles how we can trust that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end--Host Wayne Shepherd guides us through this program, setting up Dr. Whitcomb's timely teaching. Thanks for listening-

As we turn the corner to a New Year, we pause to receive Godly wisdom and guidance from author and theologian Dr. John Whitcomb in this holiday installment of -Encounter God's Truth.--Dr. Whitcomb went to a familiar Psalm written by Moses, which explains the brevity and frailty of life and tells us how we should respond to God and His grace in light of the limited number of days we have to serve the Lord on this earth.-Host Wayne Shepherd then asked Dr. Whitcomb to explain more about the future hope we have in Christ-as expressed in Psalm 90 from the Old Testament perspective.-As we begin a New Year together, let us ever remember that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end- May it guide our steps all the way throughout 2024.-Thanks so much for listening as we begin another year of broadcasting here on -Encounter God's Truth.-

This week on -Encounter God's Truth,- we listen as Bible prophecy scholar Dr. John Whitcomb shows us why -Elijah May Appear-This Year---This season of the year is a good one in which to remind ourselves of the importance of the prophetic future. Dr. Whitcomb's message takes us to a number of passages during the course of this lesson, including Malachi 4-4-6- Matthew 11-11-13- 16-28-17-13- 1 Thessalonians 4-13-18- and Revelation 11-3-12.-Host Wayne Shepherd also asked a question of Dr. Whitcomb. He wanted to know if the Elijah who will reappear in the nation of Israel in the future is the same man who ministered to the northern kingdom of Israel in the Old Testament.-As we conclude this final -Encounter God's Truth- of 2023, we are certain that God's Word remains true from the beginning to the end- Isn't it a great comfort to know that its truths will continue to guide us into the New Year-- Stay close to that Word as we begin 2024 together.

On this Christmas weekend, we listen together as noted author and Bible teacher Dr. John Whitcomb takes a look back at the well-known Christmas shepherds in Luke 2 and their historical predecessor, the young shepherd boy David, to see what they can teach us about the real message of Christmas.--I want to be humble before You,- Dr. Whitcomb states. -I want to be like a shepherd. Humble me before You, Lord.--Dr. Whitcomb also turned to the famous passage in Philippians 2 to teach us how Christ, our Good Shepherd, humbled Himself so greatly on our behalf in becoming our Savior.-Join host Wayne Shepherd for this special celebration of Christmas.-All of us at Whitcomb Ministries thank you for listening to -Encounter God's Truth- this week and wish you a blessed Christmas grounded in God's Word, which is true from the beginning to the end-

Today on -Encounter God's Truth,- Dr. John Whitcomb brings us the concluding lesson on -The Fears and Faith of Joseph,- with a message entitled- -Joseph- He was a Dreamer of Dreams.--You will want to follow in Matthew chapters 1 and 2, because God's Word is true from the beginning to the end--This is a lesson on the character and integrity of Joseph-with spiritual application for us today.-Dr. Whitcomb then fields a question from host Wayne Shepherd about Joseph's Old Testament namesake-Joseph the son of Jacob. Like him, this Joseph, the husband of Mary, had dreams from God that ultimately led him to Egypt. Our teacher compares and contrasts these two men.-We trust that this program will be a blessing to you this Christmas.

Merry Christmas-
