Genesis 12:10-13:4 "When Faith is Tested, God is Faithful"

Abram experiences a famine in the land of Canaan.   He decides to sojourn in Egypt for some relief.  Upon entering the land, his scheme for survival quickly unravels.  It will require Divine intervention to rescue he and Sarai and preserve God's plans for them.  Thankfully, God is faithful to His promises even with our faith falters. 

Genesis 11:27-12:9 "The Faith of Father Abraham"

We look at the origins of Abram's story.  First we see problems in the land of his nativity (Ur of the Chaldeans).   Then we see a call which results in partial obedience from Abram.  This call includes some amazing unconditional promises.  Finally, we see Abram moving into a fuller obedience followed by a fresh visitation from the LORD. 

Psalm 22: "The Suffering King"

In this most holy of Psalms,  King David describes the Forsaken One who feels abandoned by The Father.  As a prophet (Acts 2:30),  David speaks of the future abandonment of the Messiah (Jesus Christ).  The crucifixion of Christ is prophesied in amazing and precise detail.   The Suffering Messiah would be crucified, but later return as the Sovereign King.  Jesus Christ took our place on the Cross, so that we might be made righteous (2 Cor 5:21).

Psalm 23: "The LORD is My Shepherd"

We take a look at one of the most well-known passages in all of Scripture.  Sadly, this Psalm has been relegated to be read only at funerals or memorial gatherings.   It's certainly appropriate to share at such times.  There are also may applications to the living in this wonderful Psalm.   King David looks back over his life- not as a king, or even as a shepherd....but as one of the LORD's sheep! 

2 Timothy 1:5 'The Wind Beneath Timothy's Wings"

Paul writes one final time to his son in the faith, Timothy.   Knowing that the church is about to face tremendous persecution after his death,  Paul seeks to undergird Timothy's faith.  His appeal is to the two women who had been most instrumental in his faith journey.  Those women were his grandmother Lois and his mother Eunice.  Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and spiritual mothers who faithfully share God's Word with their children! 

John 21:20-25 "You Follow Me"

We close out the Epilogue of the Gospel of John in this episode.  After Peter is informed about the manner of his death, he turns to see the beloved Apostle John.  In a moment of pure and honest humanity, he asks about John's fate.   We will look at Jesus' reply as well as John's final statement on the greatness of Jesus Christ! 

John 21:18-19 "Truth About Life and Death"

On the shores of the Sea of Galilee,  Jesus continues His conversation with Peter.   He explains to Peter that he is going to glorify God in his death.  There are some truths we can learn about life and death from this passage.  Join us for our message today with an open Bible! 

John 21:15-17 "Failure Is Not Final!"

In this well-known narrative, Jesus addresses Simon 3 times.  Three times He asks Peter if he loves Him.  Three times Peter acknowledges that he does and that Jesus knows all things!  Three times Jesus gives him (Peter) a commission to feed His sheep.  We will look at this passage more in-depth and see that indeed, failure is not final!  Be encouraged as you study God's Word with us today! 

John 21:1-14 "Gone Fishin'"

We come to the Epilogue of John's Gospel.  Almost like a trip down "Memory Lane", we see Jesus interacting with the Apostles in familiar circumstances.  The disciples are going to learn some valuable lessons on the beach at the Sea of Galilee.  Lessons that we need to learn as well!  Join us with an open Bible! 

John 20:24-29 "What Happened the Sunday After Easter?"

In today's episode, we pick up one week after Resurrection Sunday.  One of the 11 remaining apostles was missing when Jesus appeared to them on Resurrection Day.  The following Sunday, Jesus appears to this disciple as well and all of his doubts are dispelled.  His name is Thomas.  And we might do well, to rename him "Believing Thomas".  Tune in and listen to see why!
