Even the “father of faith” had moments of fear and failure. In this episode, we examine Genesis 20 to see Abraham falter by lying about Sarah, acting out of fear instead of faith. Yet God’s grace intervenes, preserving His promises and demonstrating that our failures do not frustrate His plans. We’ll explore how fear can lead to folly, how God restrains and restores, and how His mercy can turn failure into favor. This is a timely r...

In this episode, we explore Paul’s comforting words in 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18 about the hope of the resurrection and the promise of Christ’s return. We’ll see how the early church fathers like Victorinus, Irenaeus, and Brother Dolcino spoke of the church being “caught up,” and why the rapture remains a vital “mystery” revealed in the New Testament.

From the shout, the voice, and the trumpet, to the comfort we find in Christ’s retu...

In this episode, we dive into Deuteronomy 13 and explore how God calls His people to remain faithful in the face of spiritual distractions. From deceptive leaders to persuasive friends and popular movements, the Bible warns that even small compromises can steer us away from wholehearted worship.

We break down a simple, alliterated approach for walking in holiness today:

• Assess all teaching – Test what you hear by God’s Word.

Genesis 19 gives us one of the most sobering pictures in all of Scripture—a man who once walked with Abraham now stumbling in the ruins of Sodom. In this episode, we look at the tragic story of Lot and the devastating results of compromise. From the abuse of family and favor to the abhorrent fruit of his decisions, Lot’s life warns us that choices matter and sin always costs more than we expect.

We’ll contrast Abraham, who stood be...

In this episode, we continue our study through Deuteronomy 12, looking at God’s provision and protection in worship. The Lord not only gave Israel meat for their hunger in the midst of battle, but also direction to keep their worship pure. We’ll see how He provides for His people’s portion, protects them from pagan snares, and calls them to rejoice in His presence. These timeless truths remind us that God still desires His people t...

In Genesis 18 we see two powerful truths: God’s promise to Abraham and Sarah, and Abraham’s intercession for the righteous in Sodom. Sarah laughed in doubt, but the Lord reminded her, “Is any thing too hard for the Lord?” Abraham, in turn, boldly pleaded for others, though Lot’s testimony carried little influence. This passage challenges us to trust God in the impossible and to stand faithfully in prayer and witness for those aroun...

In Deuteronomy 11:26–32, God places before His people a clear choice: the path of blessing through obedience, or the path of cursing through rebellion. In this message, we consider the bounty that comes from walking in God’s ways—protection, provision, plenteous goodness, and priority—as well as the burden that results from idolatry and disobedience. The lesson is timeless: God’s people must choose daily whether to honor Him or to ...

In this message from Deuteronomy 11:16–25, we are reminded of the call to live in covenant caution and commitment. God warns His people to take heed against the peril of deception, the pollution of idolatry, and the punishment of His wrath. He then calls us to lay up His words—to educate our children, communicate His truth daily, and saturate our lives with Scripture. Finally, we are challenged to diligently keep His commandments t...

In this message from Deuteronomy 11:7–17, we explore God’s conditional covenant with Israel and the blessings tied to their obedience. Unlike Egypt, the land God promised was a land cared for by His own hand, sustained by His rain, and blessed by His presence. Israel’s strength in battle, their longevity in blessing, and the fruitfulness of the land all depended on their faith in God’s power and His promises. Join us as we see how ...

In this episode, we look at Deuteronomy 11 and reflect on God’s call to Israel: “your eyes have seen.” The Lord reminds His people that those who have personally witnessed His mighty works are held to a greater level of love, service, and obedience. We’ll walk through three key reminders— His mighty deliverance from Egypt, His merciful provision in the wilderness, and His righteous discipline toward those who rebelled. Just as Isra...

In Philippians 1:9–11, Paul prays that the believers’ love would abound in knowledge, judgment, sincerity, and fruitful living—all to the glory of God. In this message, we examine Paul’s prayer for the church at Philippi to learn how we should be praying for ourselves and others. From cultivating abounding love, to approving what is excellent, to living sincerely and bearing fruit for God’s glory, this passage challenges us to see ...

In this episode, we continue our journey through Hebrews by exploring the superior priesthood of Jesus Christ. Unlike the priests of the Old Testament who were subject to death and constant replacement, Christ remains our continuing, capable, and consecrated Priest, unchanging, eternal, and able to save to the uttermost.

Through vivid illustrations and rich Scripture, we’re reminded that while we are often weak and wavering, Christ...

In this episode, we explore Romans 16:25–27 and the profound “mystery” of the Gospel—God’s eternal plan to redeem mankind through Christ, once hidden but now fully revealed. We see how this mystery is unveiled through Scripture, proclaimed to all nations, and given for the obedience of faith. From the salvation wisdom found in God’s Word to the steadfastness it builds in believers, we’re reminded that the Gospel is not just a hidde...

In this episode, we begin our study of Paul’s final words in Romans, focusing on Romans 16:25–27. We explore what it means to be “stablished”, fixed firmly and permanently, according to the Gospel.

We’ll see how God’s unchanging foundation offers us soul security, a steadfast walk in this life, and eternal peace. From Paul’s personal declaration of “my gospel” to the powerful preaching of Jesus Christ, discover how the righteousne...
