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

How do we help when our friends and family and fellow church members are going through terrible trials? Paul gives us a great blueprint to effectively help in our 1 Thessalonians 4 passage today.

Paul discusses Jesus rescuing us from "the coming wrath" in 1 Thessalonians 1. What is the coming wrath? Who is angry, and how does Jesus rescue us from that anger? Today, we discuss the last day's judgment and more!

What is the best way to demonstrate to Jesus that we love Him? We get an interesting peek into the answer to that question by listening in on a dialog between Peter and Jesus after Peter denied Jesus three times.

Sleep - most of us spend about 1/3 of our lives sleeping, but you rarely,if ever, hear a sermon about sleep, or a discussion of what the Bible teaches about sleep. Does the Bible have much to say about sleep? Yes, as it turns out.

Gossip and lies have the power to wound us deep in our souls. How should a Christian handle things when they are the target of unfair rumors or slander? Also: Does God's Word promise to keep Christians from ALL harm?

Today we consider the individual experiences some of Jesus' followers had with Him after His resurrection, and also discuss how the holy day among some Jews switched from Saturday to Sunday after the resurrection. What could have caused such a shift?

What were the last words said by Jesus before He died - Matthew, Luke and John all give us three different possibilities. Are these contradictions, or marks of genuineness? ALso: What is the single most important word in the Bible?

As Christians, how are we to act when people mistreat us, attack us, and unjustly accuse us of things. Should we vehemently defend ourselves in the name of truth and justice, or has Jesus shown us a quite different way?

The longest prayer of Jesus is in John 17 - what can we learn from reading His prayer? Interestingly - Jesus begins His prayer very, very simply, and He mixes in normal conversation with His requests + more insights on prayer form Jesus.

Christian "extremists" have been in the news over the past few years - people doing violent or harmful things and claiming to do so in the name of Jesus, or in God's name. Such things have been going on for at least 2,000 years - what causes people to attribute terrible deeds to God or Jesus?
