The Bible Workshop

Our gift to you this Christmas: a journey to where it all began! Let's give this holiday season substance as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Savior. But we're not going to the New Testament, we're going way back to the Old Testament book of Isaiah. Join us as we workshop Isaiah 9.

A few episodes back (#33) we workshopped a passage from Luke 1 with the theme, "Prisoners of a Negative Past." This episode we flip it and discuss the other end of that spectrum -- what it means to be a prisoner of a positive past. Isaiah 43 says, "forget the former things, do not dwell on the past." Join us as we workshop this passage!

If given an opportunity to choose your own gift, what gift would you choose? Or better yet, what do you value the most? In this episode of the The Bible Workshop we workshop a passage in 1 Kings 3, which shares a prayer by the great king Solomon about a "gift" he desired from God.

Ever go looking for something (keys, wallet, glasses?), can’t find it and then it later turns out that it was right in front of your face? But what if the thing you’re looking for is far more important than any of those things? For ex. The Savior Jesus Christ. What prevents you from seeing Jesus? We'll show you some answers to that question as we workshop The Gospel of Luke 24:13-27.

It's Thanksgiving season and most are focused on all the temporal things surrounding that. But let's consider why this holiday exists: to celebrate the harvest and remember the blessings of the past year. More specifically, we all should consider our gratitude to God, the one who provides, rather than simply stuffing ourselves and listening to "Uncle Bob's" stories for the umpteenth time! To re-direct and give some substance to this holiday, we are workshopping the Old Testament book 1 Chronicles 16.

God's word is filled with His promises. And those promises are secure. But do you sometimes struggle with the thought that maybe those promises aren't for you? Or that maybe God won't provide for you because of your sin -- or your doubts? Today's workshop will help anyone who struggles with letting go of a negative past. You must learn to walk in the blessings of today. God wants to do a new thing!  We approach this topic by way of a man in the Bible named Zechariah, as we workshop Luke 1:5-25.

Death is as much a part of life as birth. The truth is that we will all eventually leave this earth. But don’t let that get you down! The title of today’s workshop is: The GOOD NEWS about death. There is good news! It's all about perspective. Join us as we get a word about death from Luke 7.

A lack of confidence interrupts our ability to live securely and to plan for the future. This can cause fear, stress and anxiety. But here’s the silver lining: there is relief for ALL uncertainty. We can gain much strength from God’s words to Israel in Deuteronomy 31:1-8. Join us as we workshop this passage of scripture to gain certainty about our lives in Christ.

It is not advisable for anyone to run a marathon without proper training — they will likely get injured. It is also why weekend warriors are more prone to injury. The same could be said about our spiritual life. Therefore, God trains His people so He can use them in this fallen world. In this episode we workshop Jeremiah 12:1-5 to discuss this topic. Join us!

Sin. A small word with so much weight. We usually trace it back to the burden Adam and Eve placed upon humanity in the garden. But we are generations (seems like an eternity) removed from that — we each must stand and give account for ourselves. And that’s what our workshop today is about! Each person is accountable  for their own sin. Each has to decide whether to follow God or not. Have you decided? In this episode, we workshop Ezekiel 18.
