International Gospel Hour

A question asked where God knew the answer—He knew it then and He knows it now. Let’s ask the question and God’s Word lets us know where we are.

The late W.A. Bradfield still speaks (Heb. 11:4) as Jeff shares another lesson wherein we are blessed to have God’s remedy of sin—a prescription we all should have filled.

From Christ, the Greatest Gift ever given, more gifts for mankind are available to accept, embrace and enjoy.

Expressed in song, “Our God is an Awesome God,” one is in awe of the gifts only from God and we should be desiring and embracing them daily.

Honestly, our thoughts and feelings can be wrong, mistaken and misled. Let us be warned about what we think and how we feel when it comes to what God has said.

As the sweet hymn says, “At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light…” Where darkness entered daytime, the light of the world came forth.

We can do without a number of things and still do well and if we are missing something that will help, that we will add. But is that the case with God and Christ?

No matter how grim things in life may be, God has the answers and provisions if one will but turn to Him—hope is ahead and its new every morning.

Jesus was THE Master Teacher and His Mastering of parables helped many to understand. What a blessing to consider those parables and especially the parable of the ten virgins.

Our “Psalmcast” concludes Psalm 7 looking at God’s continued direction with David, his determination and further walk—more lessons for us this day.

Our “Psalmcast” looks at David wandering with his problems, but a God provided direction brings him through it…thus lessons for us today.

The young man Timothy was instructed to “…continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of…” referring to the scriptures. That same assurance is for our youth of today—it’s the Savior’s Way. This is part two of “youth.”

God is never the author of confusion—His teachings to man are simple and can be easily accepted and applied. Christianity is simple yet powerful living.

From a “Question and Answer” segment, questions about “Suicide” and “Self-Righteousness” arose needing Godly and Biblical Answers. Let’s consider this today.

You know, we can easily call John 3 a “must read” chapter of the Bible. The musts therein are absolutes for us. We “must” take a listen, friends.

“O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your Name in all the earth…” To embrace HIS excellence will help us excel!

There are those who believe there was one called Jesus, but many fall short believing in Him. If we know why people do not believe, we will know what one must overcome for true Biblical faith in Christ.

Every family wants a good home life, but it takes effort from every member of the family. Since God is the creator of the home, let every member pursue God’s way—that’s a good home life.

Concluding the study of 2 Tim. 4 seeing the power of God’s Word in warnings toward error and a reminder of eternity. This is the second of two lessons.

An exhortation and command to the young preacher Timothy reminds us of the necessity of preaching the Word of God and its power.

Sometimes the phrase “change is good” is not accurate. But Godly change is always good — one is always better because of Godly change.

It was the Psalmist who declared what God had done for His soul. What can we declare, friends? Can we declare what God has done for us?

The Greatest Teacher of ALL becomes the Master to ALL who obey Him. Those that declared the Christ teach us to do the same.

We take a lesson from the life of Timothy to continue in the things that are right, obviously changing things that need to be changed and both to be done according to the scriptures.

Concluding a three-part study of things for which we should thank God, we wrap this up speaking of victory and overcoming this life. Yes! “But thanks be to God…”

Continuing with part two, we build our thanks for His love and goodness and continue deep gratitude that responds with not mere lip service, but love service to God in salvation and blessings He provides.

The list is long when one stops and thinks of all God has done and is doing for mankind—such a long list, we cannot do it all in one broadcast. We can begin with His love and goodness.

The giving of God unto everyone—what great gifts and blessing await the one who responds in gratitude and obedience. Let’s grow in gratitude with the giving of God!

Paul had wonderful words of thanks for the church to whom the book of Colossians was written. Let us grow from this text to be thankful for the things God provides.

“The Savior’s Way” series of lessons on the church concludes with focusing on how one worships, its organization and God given name and identity.

The words of the angel of the Lord unto Gideon affirmed God’s choice to deliver Israel, but also a great account from scripture that answers many questions of doubt today.

While a book of brevity, 2 John has plenty to say on avoiding error. By walking in truth, one is prepared to know and avoid error.

The sweet hymn reminds us “How beautiful heaven must be.” That beauty will be for those living for Christ here in looking forward to what is there.

Throughout the Bible, a lamb was a symbol of sacrifice, but when it came to Christ, THE lamb of God, He was the sacrifice for man’s salvation.

Everyone understands the importance of a good foundation—for houses, buildings and yes, even life. Christ is THE Foundation on which ALL should build.

God’s salvation through Christ is not common as in dirty, but salvation that all may obey, walk and have much in common with “the faith which was once for all delivered…” Amen!

Any Bible student is thrilled to read Joseph’s life and to see how God used Joseph in the low moments raising him to greater heights to provide others on His behalf…and how God can use others.

How thankful one can reach for the Bible and see the beautiful teaching of the grace of God; the faith of man and faith expressed by man’s actions in serving God.

The past fifteen years have witnessed tremendous growth in escape rooms and their popularity. One seeks clues, follows and sees the way of escape. God has provided for us a better way of escape, friends. Will we follow the “clues?”

An Old Testament account in the days of King Josiah brings to mind the changes that were made and all that was missing when God’s Word was not used and obeyed.

How many lives have changed; businesses suffered; churches divided and many things altered and destroyed because of only one moment of anger.

One can be filled full of spiritual blessings in Christ due to Christ fulfilling the law and all fulfilled about Him. He fulfilled that we may be filled full. Amen!

So many things are provided through the Christ for everyone and this study allows us to focus on two words that summarizes all our needs to be supplied.

Jesus Christ was never an afterthought due to sin, nor was He picked from among others in heaven. The Son in God’s purpose for us! An awesome study!

“God sent His Son; they called Him Jesus…” The first few words of a beloved hymn. How thankful this world should be that God did so—His will and His plan through His Son for us.

Can you imagine anyone objecting to mercy by refusing to extend mercy? We may want it, but are we one to grant mercy to others. We look closer at a parable of Jesus about mercy.

Speaking of Christ, “And He is the Head of the body, the church…” What a powerful scripture, yet simple and easy to embrace. Head, Body, Church—beautiful!

If anyone declines mercy, something is wrong. We all need mercy and we need to extend mercy. A special parable of our Lord teaches us the power of mercy.

How thankful for God’s grace unto everyone! Sadly not everyone will accept His grace, but for those that do there is nothing better.

The apostle Paul speaks of God’s goodness and severity (Rom. 11:22). One does not want to think about the wrath and vengeance of God, but we must know His word to avoid His wrath.

How dangerous and quite simply, how bad is sin…how severe it is, but how thankful we are for God’s provisions to address sin through Jesus.
