- 96. Jonah (Pt 2) | Runaways - Pt 2For those who run away from the Lord, like Jonah, it’s easy to get off the right path, and the road back can be difficult and painful. In this message, Jonah’s downward spiral continues, as he sinks from ship to sea to the belly of a great fish, where he finally turns back to God in prayer. God delivers and recommissions him, and Jonah reluctantly preaches in Nineveh, where an astonishing city wide repentance leads God to spare more than 600,000 people. Instead of rejoicing, Jonah becomes angry that God showed compassion, but by the end, he has learned that God’s mercy reaches even those we least expect.Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/k9Rf5tzJDdsBuy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-051-100/?attribute_pa_episode=096-runaways-jonah-pt-2Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-runaways-running-from-god/29 min
- 405. Comfort from Above – Pt 3 | God Is for Us
In Romans 8:31-39, the Apostle Paul powerfully affirms that “If God be for us, who can be against us?”—that with His own Son being delivered up for us all, God will freely give us all things. No one can successfully accuse or condemn believers because God has justified us and Christ sits at the Father’s right hand, interceding for us. Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ—not tribulation, persecution, principalities, or any other creature. Instead, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us, giving believers unshakable security in Christ.
29 min - 95. Jonah (Pt 1) | Runaways - Pt 1In this series-opening teaching, we see that Jonah receives a clear command from God to go preach to Nineveh, but because he despises the Assyrians, he runs the opposite direction. His attempt to flee “from the presence of the LORD” leads him onto a ship and God hurls a violent storm that terrifies the sailors while Jonah sleeps below deck. Jonah admits to them that he is running from the God, so they reluctantly throw him overboard, immediately calming the storm. God then appoints a great fish to swallow Jonah, showing His patience and grace toward a runaway prophet whom He intends to restore.Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/eu2J_G8O6QwBuy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-051-100/?attribute_pa_episode=095-runaways-jonah-pt-1Buy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-runaways-running-from-god/29 min
- 367. The Victory of the Jews | Esther: God Behind the Seen - Pt 9On the day when Haman’s genocidal decree was to be executed, we see in this episode the effects of Mordecai’s counter-decree, which empowered the Jews across the provinces to assemble, defend themselves, and strike down their attackers. The Jews killed 75,000 enemies empire-wide, including Haman’s ten sons, who were publicly impaled, at Queen Esther’s request, to serve as a warning. Over the next two days, the Jews rested and celebrated, turning sorrow into joy. It was at this time that Mordecai established the annual Feast of Purim as a remembrance of how God sovereignly reversed their doom, while Mordecai himself rose to second-in-command, seeking the welfare of his people. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/367-the-victory-of-the-jews/Episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssOZsOcPcTEBuy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-351-375/?attribute_pa_episode=367-the-victory-of-the-jewsBuy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-esther-god-behind-the-seen/29 min
- 366. The Reward of Esther | Esther: God Behind the Seen - Pt 8This episode begins on the day of Haman’s execution, during which King Ahasuerus also rewards Queen Esther with Haman’s entire estate and promotes Mordecai to chief officer by giving him the same royal signet ring that Haman once used to seal the Jews’ death decree. Although the king is unable to reverse Haman’s irrevocable edict, at Esther’s tearful plea, he authorizes Mordecai to write a counter-decree—empowering the Jews—on the very day Haman had chosen for their annihilation. Jews everywhere celebrate with gladness, feasts, and honor—another display of God’s behind-the-scenes providence turning the tables for His people’s deliverance. Not wanting to be numbered among Israel’s enemies, many Gentiles instead become proselytes to the Jewish religion. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/366-the-reward-of-esther/Episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77Ht-ecObQoBuy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-351-375/?attribute_pa_episode=366-the-reward-of-esther-and-mordecaiBuy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-esther-god-behind-the-seen/29 min
- 365. The Fall of Haman | Esther: God Behind the Seen - Pt 7In this episode, the scene opens at Queen Esther’s second banquet, where she courageously reveals to King Ahasuerus that she and her Jewish people have been “sold” to be slain and destroyed (echoing Haman’s own decree), pleading for their lives, while also subtly noting the annihilation of the Jews would result in financial loss to the empire. Enraged, the king demands to know the culprit, and Esther reveals that it’s “this wicked Haman.” As the king storms into the garden, Haman falls on Esther’s couch begging for mercy—which the returning king misinterprets as assault. After the gallows Haman built for Mordecai is pointed out to the king, he orders Haman to be impaled on it instead. Haman’s rapid descent illustrates God’s divine providence and foreshadows the Antichrist’s disgraceful end. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/365-the-fall-of-haman/Episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pS9b4w9LsYBuy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-351-375/?attribute_pa_episode=365-the-fall-of-hamanBuy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-esther-god-behind-the-seen/29 min
- 364. The Rise of Mordecai | Esther: God Behind the Seen - Pt 6This episode opens as a sleepless King Ahasuerus has the royal chronicles read and discovers that Mordecai had exposed an assassination plot five years earlier yet received no reward; at that exact moment, Haman arrives to request Mordecai’s execution. The king instead asks Haman what should be done to recognize the man the king delights to honor. Assuming it is himself, Haman suggests the royal treatment, only to be commanded to do all of it for Mordecai. Humiliated, Haman obeys, before rushing home in deep mourning, where his wife and friends predict his certain demise, just as the king’s chamberlains arrive to escort him to Queen Esther’s second banquet—another stunning display of God’s veiled providence weaving natural events together for the Jews’ deliverance and Haman’s ruin. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/364-the-rise-of-mordecai/Episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsEdvxSgZZwBuy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-351-375/?attribute_pa_episode=364-the-rise-of-mordecaiBuy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-esther-god-behind-the-seen/29 min
- 404. Comfort from Above – Pt 2 | My Grace Is Sufficient for Thee
The Apostle Paul, in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, chooses to boast not in receiving revelations or in his accomplishments, but rather in his weaknesses. To keep him humble, God allowed a painful “thorn in the flesh,” and after Paul pleaded three times for its removal, the Lord answered, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Paul learned to gladly glory in his distresses and infirmities, because when he was weak, then he was strong through the power of Christ, showing us that God’s grace is always enough and that our shortcomings bring about God’s strength.
29 min - 363. The Request of Esther | Esther: God Behind the Seen - Pt 5In this episode, we see how Queen Esther courageously stands uninvited in the inner court of the palace; when King Ahasuerus sees her, he extends the golden scepter, which spares her life. Esther calmly invites him and Haman to a banquet that very day, at which she promises to disclose her petition at a second banquet with them both the following day, building suspense while God’s providence works behind the scenes. Honored at the first banquet, Haman departs it elated, yet is instantly filled with rage upon seeing Mordecai’s refusal to stand or bow in his presence. Haman’s wife and friends urge him to erect the gallows for Mordecai’s public impalement, which Haman eagerly orders, setting the stage for his own downfall. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/363-the-request-of-esther/Episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGqr3Q_PMqsBuy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-351-375/?attribute_pa_episode=363-the-request-of-estherBuy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-esther-god-behind-the-seen/29 min
- 362. The Decision of Esther | Esther: God Behind the Seen - Pt 4This episode details Mordecai’s public mourning, after learning of Haman’s irreversible decree to annihilate every Jew throughout the provinces. Queen Esther becomes alarmed at Mordecai’s grief and later learns of Haman’s evil plot. Mordecai urges Esther to approach the king and plead for her people, and warns that silence will not exempt her. Esther responds with resolve: she will go and make her desperate plea to the king, albeit unsummoned, which was punishable by death. This shift from fear to faith marks the story’s turning point, as Esther has been precisely positioned by God to thwart Haman’s genocidal plan and preserve His people. https://bereanbiblesociety.org/tbg-episode/362-the-decision-of-esther/Episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9PeRMy-DwUBuy episode on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-single-episode-1-dvd-351-375/?attribute_pa_episode=362-the-decision-of-estherBuy series on DVD: https://store.bereanbiblesociety.org/shop/dvd-transformed-by-grace-series-esther-god-behind-the-seen/29 min
