Spirit of God E11 — In the book of Acts, the Holy Spirit fills Jesus' followers at Pentecost; they are to be like a new temple of God's presence and power. In addition to a temple, the Apostle Paul throws another metaphor into the mix: the community of believers as a body filled with the Spirit. But where did Paul get this image and what does it mean? In this episode, Tim and Jon explore the Church as a Spirit-filled body, empowered with the Spirit's gifts to serve one another and the world.

Who or what is discipling you? Every one of us is being formed by something. The question is whether our attention, allegiance, and ambition are being shaped by Jesus or by the countless other voices competing for them.In this message from the Gospel of Mark, Pastor David explores what it actually means to be a disciple of Jesus: to belong to Jesus, believe in Jesus, and become like Jesus - with and for others. And because discipleship was never meant to be a solo project, we'll consider the people God uses to help us become more like Jesus and the people we're called to help along the way.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #matthew16 In this podcast, we explore the questions Jesus posed to His disciples: 1. Who do people say I am? 2. Who do you think I am? The human mind can easily be influenced by others' opinions of who God is, as well as by our own understanding of God's truth about His identity. Jesus will help us discern the difference between human opinion and divine truth through Scripture and our relationship with Him.

Spirit of God E10 — After Jesus' resurrection and ascension, the Holy Spirit becomes the primary way Jesus' presence and power remains with his followers. The book of Acts demonstrates how the Spirit's coming fulfills the Hebrew Bible's hope for God to dwell with his people in a new kind of temple.

#Bible #Biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #Spiritual We must be careful not to take scripture out of context when reading. Our physical minds can trick us into accepting things that aren't biblical while thinking they are spiritual. For example, the disciples misunderstood Jesus when he warned them to be on guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. They mistook his warning for a concern about forgetting to bring bread. We often let our physical circumstances overshadow spiritual truths. Join us as we explore Matthew 16, part 2.

Spirit of God E9 — Our conversation on the Spirit of God is turning  the corner from the Hebrew Bible to the New Testament. The word for “spirit” in the Greek New Testament is pneuma, and like ruakh, it also means “wind,” “breath,” and personal energy related to a person or deity. While all the gospels mention the Spirit of God, or Holy Spirit, Luke is the leader by far with 78 references in his two-part collection of Luke-Acts. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore how deeply the Holy Spirit is integrated into the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus.CHAPTERSThe Spirit Filling John and Conceiving Jesus (0:00-17:50)The Spirit Anointing Jesus for Ministry (17:50-32:16)The Spirit Spreads to the Many (32:16-45:02)Jesus Gives Up His Spirit and Receives a New Spiritual Body (45:02-1:02:20)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESTim quotes from New Testament scholar Andrew Remington Rillera's book The Lamb of the Free: “The consistent message throughout the entire NT is not that Jesus died instead of us, rather, Jesus dies ahead of us so that we can unite with him and be conformed to the image of his death.”The Resurrection of the Son of God by N.T.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #disiple Our attitude before the Lord is important. When we approach Scripture, do we ask God questions or do we question God? The same applies to our prayer life. God will reveal the answers to our questions, but we must remember to ask with the understanding that He is the Creator, and we are His creation.

Spirit of God E8 —  We're halfway through our series on the Spirit of God, where we've talked about God's ruakh in the Hebrew Bible.

09-06-2026 - A Secure Covenant (Paul McGrew) Revolution Church SCRIPTURE: Psalm 89DISCUSSION/REFLECTION QUESTIONS:How often do you struggle with the idea that God contradicts Himself? That the Bible says one thing, and then something else? How do you find peace with these apparent contradictions?Can you think of a time when it seems like things did not work out the way you thought they would? Maybe, you even thought God was pointing you in a certain direction, and walking down this path has been a difficult journey?How can reminding ourselves of who Jesus is, and what He has done help us endure the storms of life? What can we do to remind ourselves more of Jesus when our minds are elsewhere?There are dragons and sea monsters and mythical creatures representing real life chaos in the Bible? What is up with that? How would looking more into this concept help you better understand the larger story of the Bible? Would you be willing to give the Bible Project series “Chaos Dragon” a shot to see if it helps you draw closer to God?

Spirit of God E7 — So far in this series, we've seen a pattern develop where God gives an extra measure of his ruakh to some leaders in Israel. God's Spirit then empowers these leaders to guide the people, mediate God's covenant, and speak God's words. This is what Israel's prophets are looking forward to: a future prophet-priest-king who will not only restore Israel, but all of creation. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore Isaiah and Ezekiel to discover the Spirit of God's role in anointing the future anointed messiah, as well as a whole renewed humanity.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #godsword In this episode, Ric and Mary discuss the reasons behind our belief in God's Word. We must examine God's Word alongside our hearts and feelings to discern the truth, especially in times of conflict. When we feel offended by what Scripture teaches, we need to turn our minds toward God rather than relying on our own thoughts.

Spirit of God E6 — In the biblical story, God's Spirit fills specific characters. They are to lead and organize Israel, to be priestly mediators of God's covenant, and to prophetically speak God's words to the people. We're calling the Spirit's special anointing on these prophet-priest-kings, “the Spirit of the messiah.” In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the Spirit of the messiah in King Saul and King David,  two very different portraits of a Spirit-filled ruler.

In Mark 10:17–31, a wealthy young man comes to Jesus with appearing to by everything he could want! Success, morality, possessions… and yet still lacked. Though he had all he still had something missing, a deep ache for something more. His encounter with Jesus exposes a tension we all face: we can accumulate everything and still lack what matters most.In this message, we explore Jesus' invitation to loosen our grip on the things that compete for our allegiance and discover the freedom of surrender. Through practices like generosity and simplicity, we can learn to hold God's good gifts with open hands and trust that Jesus wants more for us than from us.// SCRIPTURE REFERENCES //Mark 10:17-31More info at the Bible Project: https://bibleproject.com/videos/mark/ // TAKE A NEXT STEP //Want to visit or discover more about Columbia View?

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist In this episode, we explore why Jesus wasn't concerned about offending the Pharisees. As followers of Christ, we are called to hear and understand God's word, which is a command. We should examine our hearts and reflect on what comes out of our mouths. Together, we discuss what truly defiles us.

Spirit of God E5 — From the first pages of Scripture, we begin hoping for an ideal human image of God who will  be filled with God's Spirit to truly represent God's wisdom, word, and rule in the world. Characters like that don't show up often, but when they do, they're leaders who combine the roles of a prophet, priest, and king. And in these stories, the Spirit of God is often heavily intertwined. In this episode, Jon and Tim focus on Moses, the first character who fits the prophet-priest-king role and later informs Isaiah's vision of the future messianic king.

Spirit of God E4 —  So far in this series, we've looked at how the Spirit is connected to life and wisdom in the Hebrew Bible. The third most consistent idea associated with the Spirit is God's word, or speech, happening through a human; the Bible calls this prophecy. While most ancient prophecy involved deities taking over a person's mind, we see a different experience among many of Israel's prophets. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore this spectrum and focus on prophets like Ezekiel and Micah who experienced a true partnership with the Spirit as they spoke for God.

Marriage is one of God's greatest gifts - but it's also one of the places where we experience our deepest pain. In Mark 10:1 - 12, Jesus moves the conversation beyond legal debates about divorce and back to God's original design for marriage. Together we'll trace the biblical story of marriage from Genesis to Revelation, discover why Jesus points us to the condition of our hearts, and learn three simple questions that can strengthen every relationship. Whether you're married, single, divorced, widowed, or hoping to be married one day, this message offers gospel-centered hope and practical wisdom for following Jesus in every season of life. // SCRIPTURE REFERENCES //Mark 10:1–12, Genesis 2:15, Genesis 2:18, Genesis 2:24–25, Genesis 3, Exodus 22:16–17, Leviticus 18:6–18, Leviticus 20:11–21, Deuteronomy 24:1–4, Deuteronomy 25:5–10, Matthew 19:4–6, Mark 10:6–9, Ephesians 5:22–33, Revelation 19:7–9, Deuteronomy 24:1–4, Genesis 1–2, Psalm 51:10, Philippians 2:3–4, and James 1:19–20.More info at the Bible Project: https://bibleproject.com/videos/mark/ // TAKE A NEXT STEP //Want to visit or discover more about Columbia View?

When Jesus walked on the water, the disciples were afraid until they were close enough to recognize Him. The description of Peter stepping out of the boat and beginning to sink when he took his eyes off Christ serves as a powerful example. It illustrates how being grounded in God's Word helps us keep our focus on Christ rather than on ourselves. In this episode, we ask: Do we truly place our full weight and trust in God's Word and what it actually teaches? Or do we try to interpret God's Word through our own understanding?

Spirit of God E3 — We've discovered in this series so far that God's Spirit, or ruakh in Hebrew, creates and sustains all life, moment by moment. Another key way the Spirit works in the world is by filling humans with wisdom. But in each story of the Spirit and wisdom, we're left wondering: Was God's Spirit working through that person, or was that just the person? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the Hebrew Bible's portrayal of the Spirit of God and human wisdom, revealing a profound partnership at work.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Have you ever had a job that simply didn't fit you?A role that felt wrong the moment you stepped into it?A responsibility that made you think, “I'm not made for this.” It's not uncommon. Many people change jobs several times before they finally discover the one that feels like it was made for them. But let me ask you something deeper. Have you ever been in a job, or wanted a job, and someone told you, “That's not for you”? Have you ever longed for a role, dreamed of a calling, hoped for an opportunity… only to find that the door never opened? David knew exactly what that felt like. He wanted a job, a noble job, a spiritual job, a God‑honouring job. He wanted to build the temple and to construct a house for the Lord.  But God Himself told him, “David, that is not your job.” There is an enormous spiritual lesson in that moment, a lesson about calling, about purpose, about identity, about knowing our role in God's plan. Because in this chapter, God not only tells David what his job isn't. He tells David what his job is, and in doing so, He reveals something about our role as believers today. So, if you've ever wondered: What is my place in God's plan? How do I respond when God closes one door but opens another? What does faithfulness look like when God redirects my dreams? Then this chapter has something rich and life‑shaping to teach you.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

We also learned that devotion to God is not always applauded. Sometimes it is misunderstood. Sometimes it is mocked, and sometimes it is despised. But here's the beautiful truth: Even when devotion is despised by others, worship must continue. And that brings us to 1 Chronicles 16, one of the most joyful, worship‑filled chapters in the entire Old Testament. If chapter 15 was about bringing the Ark to Jerusalem, chapter 16 is about what happens once it arrives. This chapter is a call to worship, not just for David, not just for Israel, but for us. Because worship is not a reaction to circumstances, and worship is not dependent on approval. Worship is not shaped by the opinions of others.  Worship is the natural overflow of a heart that knows who God is and what God has done This chapter shows us what worship looks like when God is at the center. It shows us how worship can shape a community. It shows us how worship strengthens a believer, and it shows us how worship becomes a witness to the world. Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes:Have you ever been criticized for your devotion to the Lord? Most believers have experienced it, but it comes in all shapes and sizes.If you've ever felt that sting… If you've ever been mocked for choosing God's way over the world's way… If you've ever wondered how to stay faithful when others despise your devotion… Then you're in good company. Because David experienced the very same thing, in 1 Chronicles 15, David is determined to honour the Lord the right way. Not to do it casually or carelessly, and not according to popular opinion, but according to God's Word.  He learned from the tragedy of Chapter 13. He corrected his course. He humbled himself, and he led the nation in obedience. But not everyone approved. Some despised him for it. Some misunderstood him and some mocked his devotion. And how David responded, and how we see he handled the criticism, the contempt, and misunderstanding, is not only fascinating, but also deeply instructive for us today.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: If you've ever wondered what God's blessing really looks like in the life of a believer — not in theory, not in abstraction, but in real, lived experience — then 1 Chronicles chapter 14 is a chapter you don't want to miss. Because tucked inside this short but compelling chapter is a portrait of David at his best: a man walking in step with God, listening to God, depending on God, and experiencing God's blessing in unmistakable ways. And here's the remarkable thing: the blessings in David's life in this chapter are not random. They're not accidental. They're not mysterious because they flow from very specific choices David makes… Choices that you and I have to make all the time. 1 Chronicles 14 shows us: How God blesses a life that seeks Him,How God blesses a life that obeys Him,How God blesses a life that consults Him,And how God blesses a life that honours Him. This chapter is filled with examples — practical, personal, spiritual examples — of what God's blessing looks like when a believer walks closely with Him, and it's a chapter that quietly asks each of us: Do you want God's blessing in your life?So today, we're going to explore this chapter together.We're going to see how God blessed David, and God blessed David.And we will also discover how those same principles apply to us, right now, in our own lives, in our own homes, in our own walk with the Lord.So, let's open our Bibles to 1 Chronicles chapter 14….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Spirit of God E2 — The word we translate in English as “spirit” is ruakh in the Hebrew Bible, and it can mean spirit, wind, breath, and mind. In multiple passages where ruakh functions as “breath,” the biblical authors invite us to reflect on God's life-giving power and also on our own frailty. Why are these two ideas so closely tied together? In this episode, Jon and Tim reflect on God's divine breath that creates and sustains all living things, including mortal human beings from the dust.

Spirit of God E1 — In 2017, we released a 3-episode series on the theme of the Holy Spirit. And now eight years later, we've decided there's still a lot more to reflect on and explore! The word we translate in English as “spirit” is ruakh in the Hebrew Bible and pneuma in the Greek New Testament. The word refers to God's personal presence, but it also often refers to wind, breath, and a human's mind. So how can this word refer to God's manifest presence and energy, but also created things? In this episode, Jon and Tim kick off a new expanded series on the Spirit of God.

The 10 Commandments E17 —  We just finished exploring the 10 Commandments, or the 10 Words as they're called in the Bible. In community, we've sought God's wisdom in these 10 Words, first through Jon and Tim's conversations and then with your questions in the Q+R episode! And this communal reading approach also extends to how we make videos with our animation studio. The artists start with a blank slate, wrestle with ideas from the podcast recordings, and then formulate a plan for how to make it all come to life through animation. So what is their process? How do we move an idea from podcast to script to video? In this special behind-the-scenes episode, Jon talks with a few artists from our animation studio about making the 10 Commandments video series.

The 10 Commandments Hyperlink Episode (E15) — Sometimes at the close of a series, we'll dig through the podcast archives to find clips that discuss similar ideas from a different perspective. In this 10 Commandments series, we explored how trusting in God's wisdom leads to true life and flourishing, while building lives on our own terms often leads to pain. So in this hyperlink episode, we'll listen to three clips that explore this theme further. First, Jon and Tim break down the literary structure of the stories surrounding the 10 Commandments, which highlight humanity's reluctance to wait on God's commands. Second, Jon, Tim, and former BibleProject scholar Carissa Quinn look at how the golden calf story in Exodus 32 relates to the 10 Commandments. And finally, Jon, Tim, and Carissa discuss how all of the Bible's poems, narratives, laws, and letters are wisdom for us.

The 10 Commandments E14 — We've come to the end of our series on the 10 Commandments, which are known in the Bible as the 10 Words. All throughout this series, we've returned to the idea that these commands are not rules to check off a list, but rather God's wisdom that leads to true life and flourishing. In this episode, Jon and Tim reflect on some final insights about how to approach the 10 Words (and all of biblical law) as wisdom literature, just as Jesus did.

The 10 Commandments E13 — We've arrived at the 10th and final commandment, which feels very different from all the ones that came before it: “Do not desire … anything that belongs to your neighbor.” While most translations use the word “covet,” we simply find khamad, which is the general Hebrew word for desire. All the other commandments involve observable actions, but desire is entirely internal. So why does God warn us about desiring things that belong to our neighbor? In this episode, Jon and Tim finish the 10 Commandments by showing how this command works as an undercurrent beneath all the others.

The 10 Commandments E12 — The common summary of the 9th Commandment is “Do not lie,” a generic prohibition against all kinds of fibs. But the commandment actually reads “Do not bear false witness,” drawing attention to a very specific kind of lying in a communal, legal setting. Many of the other commandments are more general. So why does the 9th Commandment zoom in on truth telling in public, legal settings? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the 9th Commandment, discovering its underlying value of upholding truth and justice in defense of the most vulnerable in society.

The 10 Commandments E11 — The 8th Commandment, “Do not steal,” seems straightforward enough. But why does God forbid theft in ancient Israel? What harm can come to a community where people's property is always vulnerable? And what lies beneath the surface of our desire to take from our neighbor what doesn't belong to us?

The 10 Commandments E10 — The short commandment, “Do not commit adultery,” assumes that every marriage is vitally important and just as worth protecting as a human life. But why is a marriage covenant so important in the Bible? The biblical authors consider marriage to be a great mystery that points to something cosmic: God's faithful commitment to humanity. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the meaning of marriage in the Bible, and how its deeper values are relevant to both married and unmarried people.
