Where can you run? Where can you hide when things get tough? This week on The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice, well study Psalm 57, where David is on the run, experiencing dark days inside a cave, hiding from his enemies. Do you think Davids confidence is in the shelter of the cave? Or in the Almighty God who will deliver him?

If youve ever been part of an emotional farewell, you know the feelings that go along with separating from the ones you love. This week on No Falling Word with Liam Goligher well study chapter 20 of the Book of Acts as Paul addresses the leaders of the church in Ephesus for the final time. The meeting is a transitional point in Pauls ministry and hes concerned about the future of the church.

As Jesus was growing up, his unique identity as the Son of God and his unique ministry as the Savior of the world must have made for some very interesting family situations. Certainly these family ties were strained during the course of his life, and they were broken altogether at the cross.

How can you be absolutely certain you will go to heaven? How can you distinguish false doctrine from the Gospel? How can you thwart the temptations that arise from the world, the flesh, and the devil? How do you learn to love those you disagree with? This five-part collection of messages from noted Bible teacher Dr. Barnhouse presents a marvelous summary of basic truths gleaned from Scripture, including such topics as assurance, temptation, prayer, and triumph. What Every Christian Should Know is a series for growing Christians and a must-have collection for all who enjoy Dr. Barnhouse's colorful and anecdotal style of Bible preaching.

The Bible affrms the sovereignty of God in all things, for all time, for His own glory. The knowledge of His sovereignty is the foundation for the Christians hope in a world that often seems chaotic and meaningless. Knowing that God graciously administers every aspect of life brings joy to the believer, a joy that is a witness to the world of Gods glory. Yet, to speak of joy in the context of the misery, disease, cruelty, treachery, violence, and death of this world seems incongruous; to affrm that God presides over such a world is to invite protest; and to suggest that joy is an appropriate response to Gods governance can seem insensitive, if not offensive. In this context, we are helped by the truth that Gods sovereignty is not arbitrary, but is rather joined with His redemptive purpose. The misery that is in the world through the sin of man, God has answered in the cross of Christ. And Christs resurrection gives us a viable hope, a hope in our own future resurrection and inheritance in heaven.

Do you ever feel afraid, desperate, or alone? This week on The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice, well study Psalm 56, where David is on his own, alone and scared. But by the end of the psalm, David expresses a quiet, steady confidence in God. How does he get there? And how can we move from a place of fear, to a place of faith?

While Paul performed many of the same miracles that Jesus did, he knew that the power of the Gospel lay in Gods Word and didnt let even the raising of a dead boy interfere with the message. What should the incident in the upper room convey to the church today?

The thief on the cross next to Jesus was a criminal in life, the lowest of the low. But he knew his Savior when he met him that day at the place of the Skull outside Jerusalem. Was he just lucky, to be dying next to Jesus? For just at the last possible moment in his earthly life he received the gift of eternal life.
