Summary:In these closing episodes of Bible Unbound, we explore the last handful of epistles at the back of your bible before rounding toward home in John's revelation. This week, we take a look at what it means to be a perfected representative of God and how that helps us discern false teaching. To be a perfect representative of God means teaching that we are not worthy of God's love yet He freely gave it to us anyway. To be a perfect representative of God is to declare His good news.

Summary: In this episode of Bible Unbound, we explore Paul's letters to the Corinthian church.

Summary:In this episode of Bible Unbound we seek and search the book of Proverbs for all the wisdom that it contains. Well...not all of the wisdom for that would take centuries!

Summary:In the beginning, God breaks through the chaotic waters of void-ness. Last week, when we ended our time in the narrative section of the Old Testament, we feel some of that void-ness and seek out the pages of our Bible for God to break through. This episode, recaps those pages to instill within us a heart of hope and eager expectation as we move further from the Garden of Eden into the wisdom and prophetic literature of the Old Testament.Accreditation: Theme Song by: Philip ReevesProduced and Written by: Austin SmithAll Licensed Music and Sounds Provided by: EpidemicSound Licensing 

Summary:In this episode of Bible Unbound we explore the fast paced, political comedy-drama of the book of Esther. Esther is a hotly disputed book in the Hebrew Bible and yet it tells us about the beautiful life-giving providence of God and how it unconditionally meets people where they are at. This launches us out of the narrative books of the Bible and into the rest of the Old Testament so strap in!
