  • The Challenges of Babylon

    05/03/2023 Duración: 35min

    The story of Daniel being delivered by God from the lions’ den is famous (Daniel 6:1-28). It is a story that many Christian parents begin teaching their children early. It provides lessons about God’s power, God’s protection, prayer, and the need to always trust in the Lord. Many forget that Daniel wasn’t a young person […]

  • Solid Faith

    26/02/2023 Duración: 38min

    Spiritual growth matters to God. Peter devoted an entire section to emphasizing this truth (2 Peter 1:1-11). In this section, Paul provides the ingredients for spiritual growth and maturity. Before proper growth can begin, a Christian must desire to grow and possess a solid foundation of faith. What does faith involve? It involves believing in […]

  • Different Works

    26/02/2023 Duración: 33min

    In Ephesians 2:8-9, Paul says that salvation is “not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” James teaches that we are justified by works and not faith alone (James 2:17, 24). Many Bible critics suggest that Paul and James contradict one another. Are the critics right? Let’s begin with a few […]

  • Grace to Growth

    19/02/2023 Duración: 38min

    What motivates you? We all have different drives that push us forward — for some, it’s a carrot, and for others, it’s a stick. Whether we’re trying to get through school, become a better spouse or parent, or even aspiring to grow our hobby into a career, motivation is a huge factor in whether we’ll […]

  • The Relevance of 1st Thessalonians

    12/02/2023 Duración: 38min

    Thessalonica was one of the several cities visited by Paul on his second preaching journey (Acts 17:1-4). The city was founded 300 years before the birth of Jesus by one of the generals of Alexander the Great. It was the capital city of Macedonia and a commercial trading center. It was also full of idolatry […]

  • A Royal Enemy

    12/02/2023 Duración: 33min

    After defeating the Philistine giant Goliath, David became popular in Israel. The people would begin to sing his praises and view him as a mighty warrior. King Saul even initially admired David, but it wouldn’t be long before he began to resent him. He would become an enemy of David and attempt to destroy him. […]

  • The Fruit of Our Labor

    22/01/2023 Duración: 40min

    The book of Acts ends in a puzzling way. After Luke spends several chapters detailing with how God providentially got the Apostle Paul to Rome, the book ends with Paul preaching the gospel in jail. He is under house arrest waiting for his case to be heard by the Caesar (Acts 28:30-31). What happens to […]

  • The Gift of Creation

    22/01/2023 Duración: 33min

    Do you ever feel like you’re living your life on autopilot? Like suddenly you’re at work in the morning, but you have no idea how you got there? As a result, we tend to ignore many details in our lives — things we should be spending more time thinking about and acknowledging. But, as we […]

  • Pursuing Wisdom

    08/01/2023 Duración: 38min

    Shortly after he was made king of Israel, God appeared to Solomon in a dream and invited him to ask for anything He desired (1 Kings 3:5). Solomon asked for wisdom. He wanted to be a wise king who dealt justly with his citizens. God was pleased with Solomon’s request and granted it (1 Kings […]

  • Almost Persuaded

    08/01/2023 Duración: 31min

    While being imprisoned in Caesarea, Paul was able to speak to influential political figures. He made a defense and preached to Felix (Acts 24:10-25). Felix trembled at Paul’s preaching but left him imprisoned (Acts 24:26-27). Festus (the next governor) reopened Paul’s case (Acts 25). He met with the Jewish leadership in Jerusalem. These wicked men […]

  • Putting Away Idols

    01/01/2023 Duración: 33min

    Jacob is a very flawed Bible character. He was a deceiver, tricker, thief, and horrible father. However, Jacob also had some good moments (Genesis 35:1-4). There was an occasion when he sought to keep a promise made to God and put his family on the right spiritual path. Who was Jacob? Jacob was the grandson […]

  • Facing the Giant

    01/01/2023 Duración: 31min

    In the Valley of Elah, the army of Israel gathered against the army of the Philistines. Elah is located between Socoh and Azekiah (1 Samuel 17:1). The Philistines had invaded Israel and were determined to continue conquering their territory. They brought Goliath with them! Goliath was their best warrior and had an imposing figure. He […]

  • A Closer Look at the Birth of Jesus

    25/12/2022 Duración: 36min

    Many are uncomfortable with talking about the birth of Jesus around the holiday season, but the event is a significant part of the gospel. While we do not know when precisely the Lord was born, we do know it was miraculous and unlike any other event in the history of the world. It was an […]

  • Working Well

    18/12/2022 Duración: 41min

    Since I’ve been helping Mom build her house in Montana, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about digging wells. Hers has been quite the project, from hitting a boulder under the ground and starting a second well that hasn’t produced much water. But with all the thoughts about wells, I started to think about another […]

  • Barriers of Persuasion

    18/12/2022 Duración: 33min

    In Acts 22:22-24, an angry mob of Jews called for the death of Paul. They are angry and possess a high level of hatred for the apostle. What caused Paul to be on the receiving end of the wrath of this hostile crowd? It is important to note that Paul was back in Jerusalem. He […]
