  • #323: The Parable of the Video Game

    Are Video Games mentioned in the Bible? We have been given many parables, and in those parables, many secular objects were used to represent spiritual things.  Is it possible to do the same with video games?

    Are there any elements within games that can be used to provide a spiritual lesson?

    Andrew and Robert read Galatians 2:15-21 and talk about the concept of the Parable of the Video Games

  • #322: Follow the Process Properly

    Did you know Jesus put in place a method to handle issues between believers? In Matthew 18:15-20, Jesus outlines the steps we should take when Christians feel they have been wronged by a fellow believer.

    Robert and Andrew discuss those verses and whether or not we truly understand the process and if we take it too far!

  • #321: Out of Sync

    How could the man after God's own heart be out of sync with God?

    Reading from 2nd Samuel 11:26 to 12:14, Andrew and Robert talk about what led to the disconnect with God, what steps God took to bring it to King David's attention and what David did in response.

    Are we out of sync with God? What has he done to get our attention and what was our response?

  • #320: Perserverane in Prayer

    What should we do when we pray and don't hear an answer from God?

    What should we do when we DO hear from God but the results don't seem to match the instructions we hear?

    In Judges 20 the children of Israel hear from God and things did NOT go their way. How did they respond? Robert and Andrew talk about what the Israelites did and how we should react when faced with the same types of situations.

  • #319: On the Topic of Prayer

    Andrew and Robert start a series of episodes on prayer, reading from James 5:13-20. 

    Even though there were a few technical issues they were able to work thru them and cover how James spoke about prayer referring to Elijah's experience of first praying for the rain to stop and then for the rain to once again start in Israel.

  • #318: Study Carefully

    What happens when we get distracted by the signs for the exit and end up missing the exit itself? Or we get so wrapped up in talking about the trip that we miss the point of the trip? Or we are enjoying the journey so much that we forget that it is not the final destination, which will be so much better?

    Robert and Andrew discuss how studying the Bible carefully will help to reveal the destination and not just the markers and signs.

  • #317: David Encourages Himself in the Lord

    God never promised us that every day would be a great day but in 1 Samuel 30 we are shown how to get through the tougher times. 

    In this chapter David is dealing with the loss of his family AND his troops anger against him because of decisions he has made. Andrew and Robert talk about how he deals with this depressive situation.

  • #316: Jesus before Pilot

    The close of probation is not the same for everyone. What I mean is, we are each given an opportunity to choose Christ for everlasting life but my time will not end at the same time as someone else.

    During Jesus' trial before the crucifixion Pilate was given a great opportunity to speak to Jesus, discover He was blameless (twice) and still ended up not choosing to free Jesus. Herod had already made his choice by this time so it appears another opportunity was not given to him. 

    Are we making the right decision at the appropriate time or are we waiting too long?
