The Bible says that it is a living and active, two-edged sword. In part this means that its scriptures are relevant to every person in every situation at all times down through history. And it also means that it has a way of melting away our excuses and exposing our conscience to God's convicting power. In this podcast, we examine Hebrews 4:12 in context to allow the Bible to explain for itself what it means that it is that living and active sword. #bible

Though He is known for His love, compassion and servant's heart, Jesus did get angry and even aggressively confronted folks a few times. So, why did He treat those people differently? And what lesson are we to take from this as Christ followers today?

The Apostle Paul writes to us in the Bible that we should examine ourselves before we take communion so that we will not take it in an unworthy manner. But what exactly does this mean for believers today? In this podcast, we look at these scriptures in context to uncover the clues necessary to answer that question. #christianity #bible #communion

Have you ever had doubts as a Christian? It is not an unforgiveable sin to question certain aspects of our faith or to even have doubts occasionally. But how are we to address those doubts? In this podcast, we look to answer that question by examining how the doubts of John the Baptist and the Apostle Thomas were handled.

Are Christians to be looking for signs of when Jesus will return? If so, are any of the events we are witnessing today foretold in scripture as those which will usher in the end of times?

Does Christianity have holy sites and holy items? If so, what are they? The New Testament provides us with a clear direction on this topic, which we discuss in this podcast.

If we are created in God's image, formed and made by Him, then why would God disapprove of who we are and how we choose to act? Is it fair to say that we shouldn’t be blamed for acting in a way that is natural, even instinctive to us? As we discuss in this podcast, we can't begin to biblically answer that question until we are viewing the question through the appropriate God-focused lens.

As a Christian, how do I give a defense of the hope that is in me? The charge to be able to give a defense of our faith by giving reasons for the hope that is in us comes from 1st Peter chapter 3. And the Bible provides those reasons (peace with God, the promises of God, the faithfulness of God) in other, related verses. In this podcast, we look at all the relevant scriptures so that we will be prepared to give that defense of the hope that is within us as believers.
