These two verses provide one of the most remarkable, yet unusual, passages in Old Testament history. A dead man's body is tossed hurriedly into the grave of the prophet Elisha ... and when it touches Elisha's bones, the man revives and stands on his feet! But little else is said about the incident. What happened to the man? How did the funeral party respond? What are we to make of these events? We can only answer the last of those questions. Listen in as we do!

"If he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge that to my account." What an amazing earnest for Paul to make on behalf of his friend Onesimus. How much more amazing when we consider that, at the cross, Jesus allowed our debts and wrongs to be charged to His account! Listen in as we consider the parallels.

The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) was one of the greatest days in the Jewish calendar. Find out what it still has to teach us in this era of the New Testament church.

Is there a more heart-rending, yet beautiful, love story in the Bible than that of Hosea and whis wife, Gomer? The prophet loved his bride, even when she ran away and sold herself as a prostitute. Indeed, he went to the human meat-market and bought her back out of her self-imposed slavery! Is there a more beautiful story than that? Listen in and find out!

Tucked away in the little-known prophecy of Zephaniah is a wonderful missionary promise from our wonderful missionary God: "From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, My worshipers, My dispersed ones will bring My offerings." Listen in as we consider it together.

The story of David and Goliath is a memorable one. But it's not really about David ... or Goliath. This is a story, first and foremost, about the name and power of God. It's also another Old Testament portrait of the Son of God! Listen in and discover how so.

God told Jonah, famously, to "go to Nineveh" and preach repentance to the people there. Jonah, even more famously, went the other way and ended up in quite a predicament. But God was working even while Jonah was running. Listen and and find out how.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego spoke one of the greatest affirmations of faith in the entire Bible when they said to King Nebuchadnezzar, concerning his threat to burn them alive: "If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us" (emphasis mine). But that monumental statement of faith was followed with an even greater statement of faith: "But even if He does not ... we are not going to serve your gods." Listen in as we consider both statements of trust in and commitment to God, and consider the "but if not's" in our own lives.The sermon title and oft-used phrase "but if not" is the King James Version's rendering of the first part of Daniel 3.18.

For 21+ chapters, the apostle John has been hearing revelations and seeing astonishing visions from the Lord. Now, in the final chapter of the book, he is told how he (and his readers) must respond to those visions. And, as with the rest of the book, the response to John's revelations of Jesus Christ centers around that same person - Jesus Christ! This book centers around Him from beginning to end! Find out how as you listen in.

The last few verses of 1 Corinthians 13 are often strenuously debated. Those of varying opinions divide over what is meant by the cessation of certain spiritual gifts, and when that cessation will happen. But note well that this final paragraph of 1 Corinthians 13 begins and ends with the word "love." In fact, the whole discussion of spiritual gifts is included to help us see how little weight they carry in comparison with love. Listen in to see how Paul argues this case ... and brings us back, again, to "the greatest of these" as he concludes this great chapter.
