  • 018: The Sneaky Sin of Unbelief

    Like the children of Israel, if you wander around in the wilderness for just a little bit, you're bound to run smack dab into your own unbelief. It's one thing to see that sneaky sin of unbelief slithering around someone else, but it's altogether different when you find its python-like grip around your faith like a noose. This episode is about how unbelief creeps up and keeps you from God’s good promises for your life.

        • 017: 5 Tips to Make the Most of Your Bible Study Time

          The Bible is a historical, factual book, but, above all else, it is a book about God and who He is. We can't possibly fathom all that God is, so we come in knowing that there will always be more to learn about the Bible and God....always. We will never exhaust its knowledge. Keep in mind that there are 11 categories of culture that need to be taken into consideration when reading the Bible. They are: political  * religious * economic * legal * agricultural * architectural* clothing * domestic * geographical * military * social. The Bible was written in the framework of another time. So though its spiritual significance is timeless, it was written within the boundaries of culture and should be read with that in mind. Inductive study uses investigative tools to gather information about the Bible: Observation (taking in all the facts about the text taking into consideration its context), Interpretation (figuring out what the text is saying & keeping in mind there is only one correct interpretation), Application (lessons for your life). OBSERVATION acronym courtesy of Bobby Conway - One Minute Apologist.

          • O- observe prayerfully
          • B- begin by seeing the big picture
          • S- select key words
          • E- explore commands to follow
          • R- record any warnings given
          • V- venture to find promises proclaimed
          • A- ask and answer questions in the text
          • T- target the key places and people
          • I- inspect the contrasts and comparisons you see
          • O- overview your discoveries in light of the context
          • N- note words repeated and emphasized
          • S- select the style of literature
          • Resources

            List of resources to use for Bible study.

              • 016: A Proper View of Faith

                Faith is not a personal power you possess to create your own future. Faith is not a tool given by God to create your own reality and change your world. It’s not a magic wand that you wave at your own will. God is sovereign. You are not. He’s in charge and He’s calling the shots. God gave you faith as a virtue to trust the future that He has promised. That future is clearly outlined in the Bible. When God gives faith, it is the assurance of things hoped for that He promises, not every little thing our hearts desire. When Paul wrote the phrase "faith is the substance of things hoped for," he was not really defining what faith is, but rather he is showing what faith does. Faith undergirds what we hope for. Faith is the very beginning of everything that really matters spiritually.

                Scriptures and Resources

                Hebrews 11:1

                  • 015: Your Faith Makes All the Difference

                    The Lord is able to reach down and rescue you from any sinking condition, but His mode of operation is that He usually sends human arms and hands and/or words and wisdom as a means of rescue. The prophet Jeremiah needed all four. They came from an unlikely source: Ebed-Melech an Ethiopian eunuch in the king’s house. Listen in to hear how your faith in God can be used to make great things happen for others—and yourself.

                    Scriptures and Resources

                    Psalm 40:1-2; Jeremiah 39:15-18; Hebrews 6:10;

                      • 014: How's Your Spiritual Appetite?

                        God designed us with an appetite to sustain life in our bodies. Appetite and hunger are sometimes used interchangeably, yet they are not the same thing. You can have an appetite without being hungry. We can apply this principle to our spiritual lives. When our appetites are filled with things that have nothing to do with God, then we end up with no hunger for God. When we nibble at what society offers, it changes our appetite. Is what you are indulging in filling you up with no appetite for what God offers?

                        Scriptures and Resources

                        Proverbs 27:7; Luke 1:52-53; Psalm 19:9-10
