In this episode, I discuss Obed-Edom and his willingness to host the Ark of God. I talk about the Obed-Edom's sons and their impact and a parallel to the "Sons of Issachar" and their ability to discern the times and know what Israel should do. How can this relate to our lives in the day we live? What is the significance of Obed-Edom's geographic heritage, and how does it relate to Goliath and covenant? I tie a parallel to the blessing of Obed-Edom hosting the Ark of God and David's willingness t...

In this episode, I discuss the parallel between the prayer of David in Psalm 27 and Luke 10:38-42. I will also discuss portion and Psalm 16:5. I pray that the one thing you desire and ask of the Lord is to seek to be where He is. May we despite the business of life, find rest, comfort, and desire in nearness to His feet and His voice. In a world that demands Martha-results, may we be David and Mary's who desire to dwell in His presence and near where He is. Follow on Facebook (1) The Bible Stud...

Today I discuss the story of Jonah 1:17 and how it parallels some amazing insights Jesus shared with us in the New Testament. Discover the parallel between the belly and the heart.

In this episode, I discuss what we can discover from Luke 11:11-13. "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

Why is God's Name important? How does that make you feel if you are in a relationship with someone, but they don't know your name? Today in this episode, I discuss the personal Name of God and unpack how I've missed it all these years. We will look at the Old Testament Scripture and some original Hebrew text to unlock the underlying truth about our God's Name. Let's discuss the differences between LORD, Lord, and lord. We will unpack God and god. We will look at Elohim, Adonai, and Yahweh. We wi...

In this episode, I shine some light on the question, "Who is Jesus?" Jesus asks this question to His disciples and specifically Peter in Mark 8:27, Matthew 16:13, and Luke 9:18. How is John 1 different from what the Gospel authors relay to us in their writings? What can we learn from John chapter 1 about Jesus as the Word of God? Jesus is the source of all life and He is the light of man. Join me in this episode as we slow down to discover some of the depth that rests in taking the time to consi...

In this episode, I discuss Mark 5:1-20. This story is also in Matthew 8:28-9:1 and Luke 8:28-39. Pay close attention to the singular and plural statements of I vs. We or Me vs. Us. I will discuss the spiritual implications of the demon-possessed man crying and cutting. What identity can evil spirits have that we learn regarding legion in the text? Are their limits placed on evil spirits that we can learn from this passage and others? What is the significance of the word 'adjure' Acts 19:13, Matt...

In this episode, I discuss some learnings the Lord reveals from Genesis 4 and the murder of Abel by Cain. What is knowing and what is the product of knowing? We look at the offering of Cain versus Abel's. We will see a similar evil spirit at work as during Ahab and Jezebel's time in 1 Kings 21 regarding Naboth's Vineyard and why that is significant. What power over sin do believer's have? Email me at thebiblestudypodcasts@gmail.com with questions and comments and let me know how your experience...

In Part 2 of the 1 Samuel 14 study, I discuss the statement "Do whatever seems good to you" (Judges 21:25, Matthew 5:37). Judges 21:25 is tied to the story of the tribe of Benjamin and the Levite and his concubine (Judges 19-21). Let us be a people who like the priest says, "Let us draw near to God" to get our direction. Does sin keep your prayers from being heard? See the list of Old and New Testament Scripture at the bottom of this description. What can 1 John 3:7,8,10 reveal to us in the orig...

I discuss 1 Samuel 14 and how God has changed my perception regarding the Philistines falling to Jonathan and his armor-bearer. Let's look at the accuracy of Saul's discernment. Can you imagine a battle like this in our day? I have faith to believe for it. What does this story tell us about taking oaths? Why is eating food with the blood in it such a big deal to God (Genesis 9:3-4, Leviticus 17:10-14, Hebrews 9:22). Why are altars important and what is their role (Genesis 8:20-21)? Why is it sig...

In this episode, I segway from episode 5 and discuss what great news the gospel message is. I discuss how God defines evil. What is in your heart will come out of your mouth. How does God define murder, coveting, and things He finds an abomination. I discuss the importance of guarding your heart. As we lay the foundation of inventorying our hearts, it helps us to see the wonderfully great news of the Gospel. How scandalous is the love that Jesus sheds upon those who would have Him! Luke 6:43-45,...

We have a major tendency in Christian circles to have a certain understanding regarding repentance. What is the purpose of repentance to followers of Jesus Christ? What did the cross of Jesus accomplish regarding sin? What is the scandal in the Gospel? How are we saved? Ephesians 2:8-9, 1 John 1:7-9, Matthew 26:27-28, Hebrews 9:22,26, 1 Timothy 4:1

Can a person be saved and question their salvation? What does saved by grace through faith mean? How can we define faith? What will doubt get us? What can we learn from looking at the original Greek language? I use a simple illustration to help describe grace and faith. What markers exist of being one of God's children? Answer these questions and more from this short episode!

Matthew 25:31-46. God asked me, "What do you get when you breed a sheep with a goat?" 1 Kings 11:1-13. Revelation 2:20. Acts 16:13-15. Can we separate ourselves from compromise, hybridization, a little of this, and that mentality within our hearts and minds?

Matthew 17:14-21. Matthew 28:16-20. Matthew 10:7-8. Matthew 8:5-13 Mark 6:5-6. Does our faith affect our authority? Does lacking faith impede a believer's authority?

Matthew 17:14-21. When reading about Jesus rebuking illness, demons, and the like what does it mean for Jesus to rebuke? What does that look like? Do we have authority in Christ? What can faith accomplish?
