In today's episode we look at the teachings of John the Baptist and talk about what it takes to "see the salvation of God," and why Jesus may have felt the need to also be baptized.

Matthew 3

Mark 1

Luke 3

Today we start the Gospel of John, and unlike Christ's physical birth that we read about last week, in John we'll see Christ's spiritual birth "In the beginning," and discuss how his purpose has always been to give us "power to become the children of God."

Today we discuss the complicated circumstances that Jesus was born into, and compare the events surrounding his life to our own, in order to see the hand of God in our lives.

Matthew 2

Luke 2

In this week's episode we explore the circumstances that Jesus was born into, and talk about how regardless of our lineage God can work miracles through us, and how his answers to prayers are not always what we expect.

We're rebooting this podcast as we head into a new year, studying the New Testament of the Bible. In today's episode we talk about "why Christ?", and how he can bring to our lives the one thing that the world can't...peace.

Today we talk about Job, the man who's life was destroyed despite his faith in the Lord, but was able to overcome his grief and find his way back to God. We'll discuss how we can try to make sense of this story, and relate Job's life to our own.

Book of Job

In today's episode we learn about Nehemiah's reaction when he learned that the poorer Israelites were being forced into bondage because of their debt to their wealthier cousins, and how he "consulted with himself" before addressing the situation, rather than having a knee-jerk reaction that may have made things worse. What can you and I do when facing sensitive and emotional situations? 

Nehemiah 5

In today's episode we talk about the story of King Cyrus, and how the Lord will work through others to keep his promises to his children, and ensure we all have a shot at eternal life.

2nd Chronicles 

Ezra 1.

In today's episode we discuss the story of Naaman, and his struggle to follow the prophet even when it was easy to do. We'll also talk about Naaman's servant who maintained her faith in God despite the trials she had endured.

2nd Kings 5

In today's world it's so easy to get consumed by everything going on around us. Our jobs, our politics, our social media influence, our homes and other material possessions. The prophet Elijah faced the same challenge with the Israelites, watching them prioritize the things of the world over the Lord their God. In today's episode we'll consider how we can keep ourselves from falling victim to the same temptations that trapped the people of Israel.
