In this episode we continue in our study on “grow in knowledge.” We begin by talking about the need to be approved by God and how that requires effort. Next we highlight rightly dividing the word of truth, that is, properly understanding how the Bible is one book with various divisions and, therefore, applications – some that no longer pertain to us, but others we must live by to please the Lord.

In this episode we begin a four-part series about growing in knowledge. This first study delves into our attitude concerning truth. We must have a will to know God’s will and desire to seek the truth. Without these, we will never grow in knowledge.

In this episode we consider the problem of blaming others. It is common to make excuses for our sins and to find some reason why we are not at fault. We will even search for someone else to blame and try to make them responsible for our behavior. The Bible, however, teaches we are responsible for our actions and will be held accountable to God.

Study along as we consider four common people or things that are blamed for our sin: Satan, spouses, shepherds, and situations.

In this episode we discuss church membership. We study the Bible to see what and how one becomes a member of the Church established by Christ. We also examine the necessity of being part of a local congregation.

In this episode we consider the element of water in the word. We see where there was a mist in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 2 or frozen water, hail, used to defeat Israel’s enemies in Joshua 10. There are figurative uses as well, such as Jesus saying He offers living water. Our focus will be on God’s use of water to separate His people from people of the world. How He used it to deliver the obedient and doom the wicked. The three specific uses of water we will examine are the flood, the crossing of the Red Sea, and New Testament baptism.

In this episode we look at a number of examples where men in the Bible made bad choices regarding morality and culture, personal sin, and submission to God. These include Lot who moved to Sodom, Herod who lived in adultery and murdered the prophet of God, and Felix and Agrippa who failed to submit to God’s plan of salvation.

In this episode we consider the state of our nation… the terrible condition it is in and what needs to be done about it. The answer is not what many people think. It is not in the institutions of men, their schemes and actions. The answer is in the word of God and those willing to adhere to it. Listen and consider what you can do to help our country be truly great and godly.

In this episode we examine a phrase found in Ephesians 4:4-6, “one faith.” It is a fundamental truth in God’s word that there is only one faith. However, many do not believe this. The common concept is there are many faiths and you can choose the one that best fits you. Contrary to that, the Bible teaches there is one faith given by the Lord and we must all adhere to it.

In this episode we discuss death. Our observation tells us death is universal and the Bible plainly states it in Hebrews 9:27. It is something to which we pay a great deal of attention and spend an enormous amount of money on to delay or sometimes foolishly attempt to prevent it altogether. Still, it is something that is coming to us all unless we are alive when the Lord returns.

In our study, we will look at five questions related to death.

• What is death?
• What happens at death?
• Why does it exist?
• Should we fear death?
• Is there anything good about death in this life

In this episode we discuss what it takes to become a Christian. There are many different ideas out there about how someone goes from being a sinner to being a saint. Most of what men teach is contrary to the Bible. We want to look at what it takes to become a Christian. There is certain knowledge the Bible says we must have to become a child of God. Also, there are certain actions that we must take that God requires for someone to be a disciple of Christ.
