Rice Road Church of Christ - Wednesday Night Bible Study Audio Recordings

Jesus begins to start to teach the multitudes in parables after facing several episodes of opposition from the Pharisees.  He begins by describing a simple scene of a sower sowing seed.  This is something that everyone there should've been very familiar with; but with this imagery, Jesus teaches valuable lessons about the kingdom of heaven. matt_13.1_-_5_29_20_6.35_pm.mp3File Size: 47726 kbFile Type: mp3Download File matthew_13.1.pdfFile Size: 30 kbFile Type: pd [...]

The Pharisees are asking Jesus for a sign, they want something more from Jesus to prove that he is who he says he is.  Jesus tells them that they will not receive a sign but uses some very interesting imagery to show why this would be the case.  We look at these things in our study this week. matthew_12.38-50_-_5_14_20_8.40_pm.mp3File Size: 59603 kbFile Type: mp3Download File matthew_12.3.pdfFile Size: 32 kbFile Type: pdfDownload File [...]

Jesus in these passages addresses the Pharisees outrageous claims about working for Beelzebub, about what that would mean, and the danger inherent in their attitude that they would even make such claims as that when the power of God was on display.  Listen in! matthew_12.2_-_5_6_20_6.33_pm.mp3File Size: 34244 kbFile Type: mp3Download File matthew_12.2_transcript.pdfFile Size: 66 kbFile Type: pdfDownload File matthew_12.2.pdfFile Size: 32 kbFile Type: pdfDownload Fi [...]

Here we study a historically difficult section of scriptures that have to do with Jesus and the disciples and an accusation made by the Pharisees concerning the Sabbath day law.  How does Jesus refute these things and what do the examples mean that he uses?  We discuss these things in our study. matthew_12-1-21_-_4_29_20_6.44_pm.mp3File Size: 40593 kbFile Type: mp3Download File matthew_12.1_transcript.pdfFile Size: 71 kbFile Type: pdfDownload File matthew_12.1-21 [...]

In this study we look at Jesus' condemnation of the cities that he performed his miracles in, the relationship that exists between the Father and the Son, and Jesus' invitation to all that are weary and heavy laden! untitled_-_4_22_20_5.25_pm.mp3File Size: 28467 kbFile Type: mp3Download File matthew_11.20-30_transcript.pdfFile Size: 47 kbFile Type: pdfDownload File matthew_11.2.pdfFile Size: 33 kbFile Type: pdfDownload File [...]

Jesus, in this particular portion of scripture, is approached by 2 of John's disciples that are seeking for answers of Jesus regarding whether or not He is the Chosen One.  Jesus responds to these brilliantly, alleviating any doubts that John might've had and also rebuking the critics as well.  We discuss those things in our study this week. untitled_-_4_15_20_7.07_pm.mp3File Size: 39701 kbFile Type: mp3Download File matthew_11.1.pdfFile Size: 31 kbFile Type: pdfDownlo [...]

We conclude our study of Jesus' instructions to his apostles before sending them out to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.  He encourages them to stay true despite persecution and to always put God first in all things.  We take a closer look at these things, as well as some practical application for today's world.  matthew_10.2_-_4_8_20_6.15_pm.mp3File Size: 41449 kbFile Type: mp3Download File matthew_10.2.pdfFile Size: 39 kbFile Type: pdfDownload File m [...]

We are continuing our study through the book of Matthew.  Similar to last week, this will simply be a narration of the answers that were sent to me.  Are study is going to talk about what Jesus was telling his apostles as he sends them out on a limited commission to go preach to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. matthew_10.1_audio_-_4_1_20_5.47_pm.mp3File Size: 36848 kbFile Type: mp3Download File matthew_10.1_transcript.pdfFile Size: 64 kbFile Type: pdfDownload Fi [...]

This presentation will be slightly different than usual.  Due to the COVID-19 virus, we have canceled our normal Wednesday night services.  However, our brethren sent in their answers to our normal questions.  I have compiled them into a transcript and an audio recording of myself narrating them.  This is only a temporary arrangement until we can get back to our regularly scheduled study through Matthew.  Enjoy!  realmatt9.2_-_3_25_20_6.16_pm.mp3File Size: 314 [...]

After Jesus heals the man that was possessed with demons in the land of the Gergesenes, he travels back to the city of Capernaum.  In our study, we look at the miracles that Matthew records and the impact and implications that they had.   matthew_9.1-17.pdfFile Size: 38 kbFile Type: pdfDownload File matthew_9-1-17_-_3_24_20_6.45_pm.mp3File Size: 58461 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]
