In this episode, we delve into the powerful biblical principle of "The Overtaking Blessing" found in Deuteronomy 28:2. Have you ever felt frustrated by the delay in receiving God's promised blessings despite your obedience? Or perhaps you’ve noticed that consequences for disobedience seem slow to arrive? Join us as we explore the striking imagery of Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal, where blessings and curses were pronounced over the people of Israel. We’ll uncover how these ancient truths still apply to us today.

We discuss the story of Joshua and the Israelites' initial neglect of Moses' command to perform a solemn ceremony upon entering the Promised Land. This oversight, though seemingly insignificant at first, set in motion a chain of events that led to both tragedy and a renewed understanding of obedience. Through a study of the word “overtake,” we learn that while God's blessings or curses may not come immediately, they are indeed on their way, relentlessly pursuing us based on our choices.

Listen in as we uncover the importance of remaining on the road of obedience, even when it feels like the blessings are delayed. Learn why persistence in faith, prayer, and good works is essential and how turning away from obedience can cause us to miss out on God’s intended blessings. If you’ve been waiting for a breakthrough or searching for encouragement to stay the course, this episode will inspire you to keep moving forward, trusting that the fulfillment of God's promises will overtake you in due time.

This week we will explore Paul's statement, "For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain." We will learn the historical context of this statement and find that Paul is describing a rich philosophy of the relationship between life and death we should all aspire to live up to you.

Although physical idols are not prevalent in our society, idolatry itself is still alive and well. This week, we will study the essence of idol worship to understand that idolatry does not necessitate physical statues or symbols, but can take on a more sophisticated form. The New Paganism may not incorporate gods of wood and stone like the Old, but it still worship the things they represent. The paganism of the modern world may be less visible, but it is just as criminal.

When children are asked to define the sin of Jonah, they will usually say, "He ran from God!" Although this is true enough, the sin of Jonah runs far deeper than his fleeing from God's command. Why did Jonah run in the first place? Why, at the end of the story, do we find Jonah sitting on a hillside wishing for the destruction of a city that had just experienced an unprecedented revival? Because Jonah's sense of judgment conflicted with God's desire for mercy. When viewed in this light, we begin to understand that Jonah's sin is far darker and more common than we would like to admit.

This week, we examine three statements made by the Apostle Paul in Romans chapter 1 and their implications for our Christian life. Paul said:

"I am debtor..."

"I am ready to preach the gospel..."

"I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ..."

These statement reflect important truths about Paul's mindset. In this episode, we explore the meaning of these three phrases and learn how to embody the principles they represent.

This week, we explore the concept of Christian service as we discuss what it truly means to be a servant of Jesus Christ. How did Paul and other NT writers understand their service to Christ? Are all believers called to serve and if so in what way? How do I know what specific way Christ would have me serve Him? We will answer all of these questions and more!

While modern culture often highlights God's attributes of mercy, love, and compassion, there is a growing need to also recognize His aspects of judgment, strength, and the ability to conquer.

Join us as we examine the scriptural depictions of Jesus as both the sacrificial Lamb and the mighty Lion, and how these dual roles illustrate the comprehensive character of God. We'll discuss the implications of focusing too heavily on God's softer attributes and the importance of reclaiming His masculine qualities in our faith and everyday lives.
