The genealogies or birth records of Jesus in Matthew and Luke are different in some places. Is this evidence of possible errors in the Bible? Also - all about John's proclamation that Jesus separates people with his winnowing fork - what is that all about?!

Jeremiah is known as the "Weeping Prophet" because his life was so difficult and almost nobody listened to his prophecies, or turned to the Lord under his teaching. He seemed to have fought depression, and at least one time wished he had never been born. He did, however, look forward into the future prophetically and saw great hope coming in the form of God's New Covenant. What is this hope all about?

Surprisingly, Jesus wants His followers to be great, but the way of greatness is does NOT at all line up with the Western view of greatness. Instead, humility and servanthood, says Jesus, is the ONLY way to be eternally great in the Kingdom of Heaven!

In Job 1, a great man suffers a series of terrible tragedies, one after another. His response is incredible: He worships God wholeheartedly, even though his heart is broken. How can we go through tragedies and trials like this?

The Unforgivable sin: that there could be a sin that God will NOT forgive is quite shocking to us, and genuinely scary. There is great confusion about what the unpardonable/unforgivable sin is, but fortunately, Jesus explains it quite clearly and simply in Matthew 12, which we discuss today.

Doubt is not a topic that Christians talk about very much, but the Bible addresses it frequently, and probably in a more nuanced way than you might expect. Doubt is very common, and even some of the greatest saints in the Bible wrestled with doubts. How can we overcome doubt?

Today we hear an amusing anecdote about the time I made a face at a police officer (and rightly got pulled over!) as well as the danger of complaining about others when Jesus - the judge! - is right at the door, listening and watching.

Solomon's son becomes king, and is immediately faced with a dilemma: Follow the leadership advice of his friends, or his father's elder counselors. Rehoboam chooses wrongly in a spectacularly awful way, but we learn a lot about leadership ourselves from his blunder.

Today we here an amazing prayer from Solomon, and find in it a key to returning to God when we are far away from Him. While returning to God might seem complicated, it is almost always simple.

Today we discuss the Bible promise that we will reap a harvest/blessing/benefit/impact if we do NOT give up in doing good and serving. Of more importance, we focus in on the one thing that Paul bragged about, and consider whether we should also brag and boast about the same thing. (We should!)

Today we read about David dancing before God with all of His strength, and note how his wife criticizes him for such an ostentatious spectacle. This leads us to discuss the things God delights in and the things that seem to anger God greatly in the Bible.

How is it possible that a prostitute is commended by the New Testament as a champion of faith? What does this tell us about faith and salvation that is surprising? Also: Where, according to the Bible, is our primary citizenship?

Begotten is an old fashioned and confusing word, but it represents an important truth about Jesus - that He is God's ONLY BEGOTTEN son. What does this mean - does it mean that Jesus is created?

Today we consider how the Word of God calls us to encourage each other daily, and how we must also receive daily encouragement. What can we do when we are in an environment devoid of daily encouragement?
