Among those are mercy, compassion, justice, judgment, repentance, and the sovereignty of God.

Send us a text In today's episode, we finish the 4th and last chapter of Jonah, and then we began looking at the many different themes that run through this powerful book. We go over numerous things of interest in this short account of the Hebrew prophet. By the way, is he a prophet or a rebel? Is he a man of God, or is he a disobedient sinner? One thing is for sure, if God can use a man like Jonah, He can certainly use people like us! In our Q&A segment, we are asked the question: What does...

We look at the lives of 3 different kings: Saul, David, and Jesus. The big question that we tackle today is this: Did Jesus go through and meet any of these Old Testament requirements in order to be made king? Did He do any of this to authenticate His Kingship? Several modern scholars say that He did not, but we feel certain ...

Send us a text In today's study, we are told to not be carried about with strange doctrines. We look into some interesting things such as the altar, the sacrifices, and how Jesus sanctifies us with His own blood. He suffered without the gate, so we shouldn't shirk from bearing His reproach as we seek a city to come. We see that we are to offer our sacrifice to God continually, which is the fruit of our lips... praise unto His name! In our Q&A segment we answer: In Matt. 6, what is meant by t...

We look at the idea that marriage is honorable, and the bed is undefiled, along with the statement that God Himself will judge whoremongers and adulterers. We are comforted by the fact that the Lord will never leave us nor forsake us, and that He is our helper so that we don't have to fear what men shall do unto us. ...

Send us a text Today, we have a discussion concerning idolatry. We received a question asking us if we believe idolatry is an issue for the people of our day and time, or if it is something that we have gotten past. Some people question if ministers should teach and preach against idolatry, because it seems to be irrelevant now. The reasoning behind this thinking is that we don't see people openly bowing down to false gods and idols. Is this an obsolete topic, or is it one that still needs to be...

Send us a text In today's episode, we learn that God chastens those whom He loves. He does this that we might partake of His holiness. Chastening is grievous, but it yields righteousness, of which, if we will follow peace with all men, and Holiness, we shall see the Lord. We receive an admonition to not fail of God's grace, lest we become like Esau who was rejected of God. We finish up by examining the life of Esau. In our Q&A segment, we answer the question: Why did Judas and the council co...

We are to do this by looking unto Jesus, who is described as the Author and Finisher of our faith. The writer explains how Jesus accomplished what he did, while reminding us that we have not yet resisted unto blood. Neither should we despise the chastening of the Lord, for this is how w...

Send us a text In today's study we talk about how God called Abraham, and how he obediently went out not knowing where he would end up. He was looking for a city whose builder and maker is God. We also read that Sarah and Isaac were included in this promise to Abraham as well, but they all died in the faith, without receiving the promise. The writer felt this proves they were truly seeking a Heavenly city. It is the same place true believers are still seeking today. In short, we study the faith ...

We saw that it couldn't purge their consciences either. We will see that it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. We are reminded how Jesus came to do God's will, and by doing so, He offered a sacrifice that did take away the sins of mankind. He has forever perfected those who are sanctified. In our Q&A ...
