“Beware Lest You Forget!” (Episode 18)

The majority of modern, American Christians live a comfortable life of safety, security, and plenty. While we rightly thank God for such things, we must also beware. From the beginning of time even the most righteous individuals have struggled to stave off complacency and sinfulness during such times. In this lesson, Nate Bibens examines a handful of such Biblical examples while reminding Christians today of Moses’ message long ago, “Beware, Lest You Forget!”

Great Faith and Little Dogs (Life of Christ Sermon 29)

When Jesus withdrew for a brief period to the region of Tyre and Sidon, He met a woman in desperate need, for her little daughter was severely oppressed by a demon.  Instead of immediately granting the woman’s request, Jesus acts and speaks in a way that seems strange, even offensive.  In the end however, He extols the woman’s faith and grants her request.  Why did Jesus do and say what He did?  And what made the Syro-Phoenician woman’s faith so commendable? Find out in this lesson from the Life of Christ series entitled “Great Faith and Little Dogs!”

When God is Silent (Episode 17)

Most people who claim to be Christian will agree that the Bible is the Word of God. Interpreting and applying the Bible, however, is something about which many disagree. Of the various issues of Bible interpretation, perhaps none has been so difficult as that of Bible silence. In this lesson, brother Ed Daniel helps us determine what is and isn’t true Bible silence, and helps us see from Scripture how we should respond when God is silent.

Speaking as the Oracles of God (Episode 16)

It’s no secret that there is a great deal of religious confusion in the world today. The real question is, how can we find truth and unity amidst such confusion? In this lesson, brother Ed Daniel reminds us that if we wish to please God and abide in His truth, then we must rely on His Word, and simply be a people “Speaking as the Oracles of God!”

The Keys of the Kingdom (Episode 15)

After commending Peter’s great confession and promising to build His church, Jesus said something important, interesting, and it turns out controversial by telling Peter He would give him “the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.”  In this final study of a 3-part series based in Matthew 16, Nate Bibens discusses what the keys of the kingdom are, how Peter used them, and whether or not they can still be used today!

“I Will Build My Church!” (Episode 14)

When Jesus asked His disciples who they thought He was, Peter responded with, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”  Last week Nate Bibens discussed this great confession, and today he continues a study of Matthew 16 with a lesson on Jesus’ response to Peter.  Included in this response is one of the greatest promises ever given, the promise of Jesus that, “I will build My Church!”

“You are the Christ!” (Episode 13)

Who is Jesus?  Even 2,000 years after His life, that question is still a hotly debated question.  Debate over Jesus’ true nature is not new to the 21st century though.  Even during Jesus’ lifetime there was great division over who He was.  In Matthew 16:13-19, we find an important conversation between Jesus and His disciples about this very question.  In this lesson, Nate Bibens begins a 3-part study on this great passage, with the first sermon on Peter’s confession, “You are the Christ!”

The Thief on the Cross

“Today you will be with Me in Paradise.”  Those were the words Jesus spoke to a thief hanging on a cross next to Him.  Even in His final hours, Jesus was saving sinners!  The story of the thief on the cross is beautiful and important, but many twist the story to mean something it was never intended to teach.  In this lesson, Nate Bibens discusses the lessons to be learned from “The Thief on the Cross!”
