Joshua 3:1-17

The Ark of the Covenant has always been an object of fascination, but this mysterious box is far more than a sought-after archeological relic. The Ark is symbolic of the presence, judgement, and mercy of the Living God. On The Bible Study Hour, Dr. James Boice discusses the Ark and the unchangeable nature of God.

Joshua 2:1-24

Can a heroine emerge from a brothel in a vile, pagan city? Rahab the prostitute had absolutely nothing going for her... except enough faith in the True God to stand alone against her entire culture! On The Bible Study Hour, Dr. James Boice tells the story of "Rahab Contra Mundum," meaning "Rahab Against the World."

Joshua 1:10-18

No time is wasted from the time of Joshua’s commissioning to the time he assumes command and prepares for the invasion of the Promised Land. From a human standpoint he had much to fear, yet the Lord warned against such fear with the command to not be terrified but to be strong and courageous. Dr. James Boice reveals the secret to Joshua’s complete trust in the face of overwhelming odds in a strange and hostile land.

Joshua 1:1-9

Can you name the president who followed Lincoln or the Prime Minister who followed Churchill?  Remembering those names may take some thought but not the name of the man who followed Moses. Join Dr. James Boice as he traces the life of an extraordinary leader whose badge of honor was his obedience to the Lord.

3 John 1-15

The book of 3rd John is a study of personalities—about three men with very different personalities, Diotrephes, Demetrius and Gaius.  And in these men we see a picture of the church, both then and now.  Dr. James Boice contrasts these three men and directs us in the characteristics of the ones that we should follow.

2 John 1-13

While 2nd and 3rd John are the shortest books in the New Testament, these two letters introduce us to such distinctively Christian ideas that the letters themselves become transformed and elevated so that they have great significance.  Dr. James Boice discusses those elements and how they relate to the body of modern believers.

2 John & 3 John

Second and Third John comprise the two shortest books in the New Testament, but we shouldn’t assume that the brevity of these letters renders them insignificant! Dr. James Boice examines some very practical issues of the early church and John’s direction on how to address them.

1 John 5:18-21

There are things in the Christian faith on which we can and must be dogmatic, despite the world’s constant pressure to maintain an open mind. Two of those things are the recognition of Who it is that we follow and the signs that accompany our faith. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he reiterates John’s affirmations of what it looks like to be a follower of Christ.

1 John 5:14-17

The Apostle John concludes his first letter with what seems to be a mere postscript, but his parting thoughts may be the most significant part of his epistle. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he concludes our study of I John with John’s instructions on prayer.

2 Corinthians 9:15

Have you ever received such a wonderful gift that you found it hard to describe? In truth, all human gifts are describable and just because we lack the words to describe them doesn’t make them “indescribable.” Dr. James Boice compares human gifts with the indescribable gift we received from our Heavenly Father at Christmas on The Bible Study Hour.
