BeachCast.TV: Bible Exploration, Apologetics and Church History with Dr. Chase A. Thompson:

Two short, but deep Psalms today, and two topics. First, we discuss the wonderful blessing of unity and the strange use of metaphors in the Old Testament. Second we discuss "raising hands" in worship. Is this a charismatic-only practice?

The Bible commands us to make our calling and election sure, but how can we do that if salvation is an act of God, and not based on the works of man. Does assurance of salvation come from our good works?

Two topics today: What does Paul mean when he writes that those who aren't working shouldn't be eating? Plus: Who is the Man of Lawlessness described in 2nd Thessalonians 2, and how can he have so much power?

Fake news hit the Thessalonian church in the first century when a FAKE apostle Paul somehow wrote to them that Jesus had already come back - which apparently caused something of a panic in this church. In today's passage, Paul writes to settle and encourage the Thessalonians, telling them that TWO important things would happen before Jesus returns. Today we discuss those two events.

What will the Second Coming of Jesus be like? Peaceful? Fiery? Frightening? Encouraging? Today we discuss Paul's description of the return of Jesus and discover why the Old Testament calls it the "great and terrible" day of the Lord.

Some trivia: What is the shortest verse in the Bible? (Hint: It's NOT "Jesus Wept," well, not exactly) More importantly: how can we avoid quenching or grieving the Holy Spirit?

Psalm 131 is one of the shortest and wisest chapters in the Bible,teaching us how to avoid controversy and troubles by not engaging in those things which are beyond us. Also: C.S. Lewis on the news and media.

No matter who you are, or where you are - the great truth about God is that He is overflowing with abundant mercy, and He is a rescuer. Look to Him and find salvation.

Two big questions today: How will the return of Jesus unfold - what will be the end-times order of events? Second question: How can we 100% know the absolute and guaranteed will of God for our lives RIGHT THIS SECOND?

Paul the apostle was one of the most effective soul winners, ministers, preachers and evangelists who ever lived. What does the Bible tell us about his methods of ministry and discipleship? How can we spread the good news like Paul did?
