God flooded the earth with water, but He saved Noah and his family and two of each kind of animal. Did this cure the sin problem? Unfortunately, it did not. However, God made a covenant with Noah, his family, and all living things that He would never again destroy all living things with the flood of water. He didn't establish this covenant with Noah because he was sinless. Noah wasn't sinless. God made a covenant based on His grace alone. To confirm His promise, He set up a sign of His covenant: the rainbow. But who was this sign for? It appears God instituted this sign so that He would remember His covenant. In this episode, I review Genesis 9-11 and look deeper at God’s covenant with Noah, his family, and all living things. We will also see how sin continues to affect the world.

Adam's sin affected the entire human race. The result of this was wickedness. Due to the corruption of man's sin, God acted according to His justice and flooded the earth with the flood of water. However, God rescued Noah and his family in an ark. But why did He rescue Noah? The answer may not be what you think. Furthermore, there's more to this story than a man surviving a flood. In this episode, I discuss Genesis 6-8 and show you how the Noah event points us to Christ.

Why do we live in a sinful world? Adam sinned against a holy God by eating the forbidden fruit. Did that affect Adam alone? No, he represented all of us in the Garden of Eden. Cain shows that sin affects all of mankind when he killed his brother. In this episode, I continue my survey of Genesis by reviewing chapters 4 and 5. We will see how the sin of Adam affected all mankind.

Do you ever wonder why you sin? Do you ever wonder why life is so hard? God told us why in the book of Genesis. In Genesis 3, we see the fall of mankind and God's promise to redeem His creation. In this episode, I continue my survey of Genesis by reviewing chapter 3.

The Old Testament is not always easy to understand. There are several reasons for this. First, it was written over two thousand years ago. The original audience was a different culture than ours. Also, the Old Testament was written in a different language. This creates challenges when translating. Furthermore, our approach to reading the Bible affects our understanding it. With this in mind, we often miss things that God told us throughout the Old Testament. In this episode, I begin a survey on the book of Genesis by looking at Genesis 1 and 2.

Some people wonder how people were saved in the Old Testament prior to the coming of Christ. People were justified by believing God. There are many examples of this in the Old Testament. We even see the same thing in the New Testament. In this episode, I define faith and review several acts of simple faith.

My apologies. I misspoke. When I said God cannot lie, I referred you to Hebrews 1:1-2. I meant Titus 1:1-2.

Some people say there are many ways to heaven. But is this true? Jesus says it's not true. In fact, He says He is THE WAY. That means there's only one way to heaven. But did you know there is only one way to hell as well? In this episode, I discuss the only way to hell and the only way to the Father.

The Bible speaks of fruit on several occasions. You have fruit in keeping with repentance and the fruit of the Spirit. Both are works of the Holy Spirit. But are they the same thing? In this episode, I talk about the fruit of repentance and the fruit of the Spirit and where the two overlap.

We all have regret, things we wish we had done differently. Many people have broken marriages, troubled children, financial problems, or many other things. But truthfully, all of us have failed. However, God is gracious and sovereign. He is able to use our failure for our good. Not only that, our failures cannot thwart the plan of God. In fact, our failures are part of His plan. In this episode, I talk about why we fail in this life and point you to Christ who succeeded on our behalf.

As a new Christian, I was afraid to tell people about Jesus because I could never get people to make a decision for Jesus. What I failed to understand is that I had no power over a person making a decision for Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the one who changes the heart of a man. When I finally realized this, I was able to share the gospel more readily. In this episode, I talk about sharing the gospel and help you see that it's not as hard as you may think.
