Is the modern nation of Israel the people of God today? In this episode, Pastor George Sayour examines one of the most debated questions in Christian theology: Who is the true Israel?From a historic Reformed perspective, this teaching explores the biblical relationship between Israel and the Church and how the New Testament interprets the promises made to God’s people. Looking at key passages from both the Old and New Testaments, Pastor Sayour explains the covenantal view that the Church is the fulfillment of Israel, and what that means for how Christians should understand God’s promises, prophecy, and the identity of the people of God.This episode offers a clear and biblical framework for thinking about Israel, the Church, and the unfolding of God’s redemptive plan. Topics include:Is modern Israel the covenant people of God?What does the Bible mean by “true Israel”?How the New Testament interprets Old Testament promisesThe Reformed understanding of Israel and the ChurchIf you’re trying to understand the biblical relationship between Israel and the Church, this discussion provides a thoughtful Reformed explanation rooted in Scripture.

Drawing from Scripture, he outlines how these influences operate and how believers can recognize them.Key topics include:Why the Kingdom of God has a defined biblical meaning, not a flexible modern interpretationWhat a true disciple actually is—learning not only what Jesus taught, but doing what He didHow false teachers introduce destructive ideas rooted in spiritual deceptionThe role of greed, sensuality, and personal ambition in spreading false teachingHow false prophets can appear trustworthy while ultimately leading people away from truthWhy fruit over time—not first impressions—reveals authenticityThe reality of false apostles and how spiritual authority can be misusedHow false teaching can lead to real-world consequences, including emotional, mental, and even physical effectsWhy discernment requires both biblical knowledge and spiritual awarenessKen also shares multiple real-life ministry examples, including:A man healed of schizophrenia after renouncing false prophetic influenceA woman healed after rejecting false doctrine she had held for yearsDeliverance from spiritual oppression connected to false leadership structuresThe episode emphasizes that discernment is not optional—it is essential. Believers are called not to fear, but to test what they hear, examine fruit, and remain grounded in Scripture.How to Engage with Orbis:- Check out Ken's book,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ On the Road with the Holy Spirit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://a.co/d/0OVIIA0- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Partner with Orbis Financially⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give - Orbis Ministries⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- Download the app: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠App - Orbis Ministries⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-⁠⁠⁠⁠ Are you interested in learning about Holy Spirit-led ministry?

Episode 2.92In this episode, Michael and Zach examine the theology of the Black Hebrew Israelite (BHI) movement and ask a central question: does it align with the gospel of the New Testament or redefine it? While BHI groups vary widely, several consistent themes make evaluation possible.The discussion focuses on key doctrinal issues, including the denial of the Trinity, a restricted view of Christ's mission, and—most significantly—claims that salvation is tied to ethnicity and Torah observance. These ideas are weighed against the New Testament's teaching that salvation comes through faith in Christ alone and is extended to all nations.Along the way, the episode explores how Scripture is often interpreted through an ethnic framework and how this shapes conclusions about identity, covenant membership, and judgment. The result is a system that, in many cases, mirrors the very issues addressed in Galatians.The takeaway is clear: the gospel does not create a new ethnic hierarchy—it creates a new people united in Christ. Any system that conditions salvation on race or law departs from the apostolic message.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/NR7T2oICky4Merch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Can you imagine a perfect human being? You may say, “Sure.” But perfection would necessarily be surprising to us because we're not perfect and we've actually never seen perfection.  The challenge of the New Testament is to read about Jesus, not just once, but page after page after page. If you do that, you'll pretty much be forced to the conclusion that nobody could've imagined someone like this. So we're looking now at the miraculous signs to see what they show us about Jesus. This is the third miraculous sign: the healing of the lame man at the pool of Bethesda. Let's look at 1) the pool, 2) the man, and 3) the Sabbath controversy.

Did you know the word “hallelujah” is an Old Testament word, only used once (here in Revelation 19) in the New Testament? It means “praise the Lord”—reserved for final victory in battle. That's the right word to say here at the end of the Great Tribulation. We pause now and review the solemn path of the Tribulation in these last seven years.

www.tswrightspeaks.comwww.godcenteredconcept.comwww.jesussaid.tvIn this episode of TS Wright Speaks, we take a deep dive into James Chapter 1 and uncover what can be understood as the 12 steps of spiritual growth revealed through trials, faith, endurance, wisdom, and obedience.The book of James provides one of the most practical guides for Christian living in the entire New Testament. Trials are not obstacles to faith—they are God's training ground for spiritual maturity. Through testing, endurance, and reliance on God's wisdom, believers are shaped into people of faith who reflect the character of Christ.In this teaching, we walk step-by-step through James 1 and examine how spiritual growth develops through:• Trials that initiate faith • Testing that produces patience • Endurance that builds character • Wisdom that comes from God • Faith that creates stability • A kingdom perspective on wealth • Eternal rewards for endurance • Understanding the origin of sin • Recognizing God's unchanging character • Receiving God's Word with humility • Living out the Word in obedience • Demonstrating true religion through righteousnessJames reminds us that spiritual maturity is not simply hearing God's Word—but doing it.If you want to understand how God uses life's trials to refine your faith and produce lasting spiritual growth, this study of James Chapter 1 will give you a powerful biblical framework for your journey.Episode Summary (Show Notes Version)The 12 Steps of Spiritual Growth (James 1)Trials initiate spiritual growth – Faith begins to grow through testing.Trials test our faith – Testing produces patience.Endurance builds character – God walks us through the fire, not around it.Maturity seeks wisdom from God – We depend on God, not our own understanding.Faith creates stability – Believers must avoid being double-minded.Kingdom perspective on wealth – Wealth is a tool, not an identity.Endurance leads to eternal reward – The faithful receive the crown of life.Understanding the origin of sin – Desire → temptation → sin → death.Recognizing God's character – God is the giver of every good gift.Receiving the Word properly – Be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.Hearing and doing the Word – Spiritual alignment requires obedience.Evidence of true religion – Practical righteousness, compassion, and holiness.These steps show how God forms believers through trials, wisdom, humility, and obedience.Call To ActionIf this teaching blesses you:• Follow TS Wright Speaks on your favorite podcast platform • Share this episode with someone who wants to grow spiritually • Leave a review to help others discover biblical teachingJames 1 Bible Study, Spiritual Growth, Christian Spiritual Growth, Book of James Study, Trials and Faith, Christian Maturity, Biblical Wisdom, Faith and Endurance, Bible Teaching Podcast, Christian Theology Podcast, Christian Discipleship, Kingdom Perspective, Christian Spiritual Formation, Faith Development, Bible Study Podcast, New Testament Teaching, Christian Living, Biblical Character Development, Christian Podcast#BibleStudy #James1 #ChristianPodcast #SpiritualGrowth #FaithInTrials #BiblicalWisdom #ChristianDiscipleship #NewTestamentStudy

In this episode, Douglas Wilson celebrates the Trump EPA’s rollback of the greenhouse-gas endangerment finding as a blow against economic overreach, then turns to hamartiology and the New Testament word miasma to reflect on moral pollution, false conversion, and the danger of falling back into sin. He closes with a warm recommendation of A Gentleman in Moscow as a deeply engaging novel about life in captivity under communism. For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/

A political science major at a major university was having coffee with a campus pastor. The pastor knew that the student was wrestling with doubt about the existence of God and said to him, “John, you know all of us wonder at some point if it's all real, or not. For example, there are quite a few stories in the Bible that are just hard to believe — Jonah and the whale and all that.” John smiled and said, “No, that's not my problem. What I wonder about is how God could care about me. I've done some really bad things and have had some really bad things done to me. I just can't understand the concept of forgiveness.” There you have it. Doubts about the faith come from all directions. While one person cannot bring herself to believe in miracles, another cannot forgive himself for the wrong things he's done — and can't fathom how God could. Thomas Jefferson actually cut out the miraculous sections of the Bible. He couldn't believe in what some would call the God of the Bible. Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of DNA, thought that Christianity was just a collection of mythical stories. And what about those who want to see the proof? They like evidence and feel a need to make an intellectual case for our faith. The New Testament writer, Luke, was like that. He wrote in Acts and the gospel of Luke about the importance of eyewitness sightings of Jesus and His miracles. Lots of people debate whether evolution and religion are compatible or not. And this is a big stumbling block to believe for many. We all believe something, but our minds can struggle at times to grasp the big stuff, the infinite universe, while for others who doubt, the struggle is more internal. They're so grieved by their own sin they can't accept that God could love them. Maybe the most famous verse in the Bible is John 3:16, which says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” However, few quote the next verse, which says, “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” It isn't God's wish to condemn you. Instead, He loves you and wants to give you assurance that life is more than struggle and molecules. Whether you're looking for evidence to believe the Bible, or you just need to know that God loves you, try not to focus too much on your objections. Own them, but just tell God, as a child would, that you're struggling to understand it all. Will you pray with us? Father, your grace saves us from a life of struggle with sin, and we are accepted by you. Thank you for putting up with our up and down faith. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

What happens when truth and love collide in the early church? In this episode of Seek Go Create, Tim Winders unpacks the urgent and compact message of 2 John, exploring why John's warning to a powerful woman host still matters for us today. Discover how hospitality, authority, and the protection of foundational beliefs shaped the very first Christian communities—and why guarding both truth and love is as essential now as it was then.

The New Testament presents more than one model of apostolic leadership. While the apostles were united in doctrine and mission, their personalities, approaches, and leadership styles were often very different. In this episode, Joseph Mattera contrasts the leadership expressions of the Apostle Paul and the Apostle John. Paul often led with bold confrontation, theological precision, and strong apostolic correction when the integrity of the gospel was at stake. John, while equally committed to truth, emphasized relational depth, spiritual intimacy, and the centrality of love within the community of believers. Together, these two apostles reveal an important principle: healthy leadership in the Church is not one-dimensional. God uses different personalities, temperaments, and emphases to build His people while preserving both truth and love. This teaching explores what modern leaders can learn from these two apostolic models and how their complementary approaches can help shape mature, balanced leadership in the Church today.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike here. Today I talk about the connection between deliverance and healing in the New Testament, where we often see Jesus healing sickness and casting out demons as part of the same work of restoring people. In passages like Luke 13:11–16 and Acts 10:38 we see that some suffering was connected to spiritual oppression, reminding us that the battle against evil can affect both body and soul. Reflecting on this, and referencing Beanie Carmichael's book, I wonder whether some of the struggles and diseases we face today may also have a spiritual dimension that we sometimes overlook.

Jesus' most famous commandment might be to "love thy neighbour" - but what exactly does "love" mean, and how do you love your neighbour? Today, Dr. Bart Ehrman joins me to talk about the different meanings of love in the New Testament, and how that informs our understanding of Jesus' teachings.

Throughout the New Testament, Christ places a high priority on the local church. In our series, Building Blocks of a Dynamic Church, we will understand how Christ designed the church to function, how we can love and invest in it, and how we can be built up and enriched as we grow in Christ. This series is designed to give us an understanding of how a dynamic church should function, and how we fit into God's eternal plan for changing the world.

In this episode, Ken Shuman continues exploring the connection between emotional and spiritual maturity. He explains that we cannot become fully spiritually mature if we are not also growing in emotional maturity, because we will behave in ways that are inconsistent with the way of Jesus.Ken returns to the question, “What is spiritual maturity?” and revisits Ephesians 4:11–13 to help answer this. He suggests that this passage highlights three key aspects of spiritual maturity and spends a few minutes unpacking these. Spiritually mature people are a) filled with the knowledge of Jesus, b) mature in the teachings of Jesus, and c) fully formed in the likeness of Jesus. Together, these shape them into people who are whole and complete— and equipped to participate in God's mission in the world.Ken also explores the Greek word translated “equipped,”which was used in the New Testament era both to describe mending fishing nets and setting broken bones so they could heal properly. Without emotional maturity, our nets remain torn—we want to serve, but we're fishing with holesin our nets...and we wonder why we are not effective!Ken concludes that emotional maturity and spiritual maturity go hand in hand, and he emphasizes that our growth in maturity is for the purpose of helping others become more whole and complete. We mend our nets so that the entire body of Christ may be built up. Where might your net need mending?This episode was recorded on March 6th, 2026.

Psalms 1 & 2 E4 — The New Testament authors make both subtle and direct claims to Jesus' divinity, almost exclusively by referencing Israel's Scriptures. In Psalm 2, one of the most quoted passages from the Hebrew Bible, Yahweh responds to the conspiring, violent nations by installing a king (whom he calls his Son) in Israel. Jesus and the apostles frequently use Psalm 2 language to describe Jesus' divine identity and unique relationship to God the Father. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore these references in Jesus' baptism, transfiguration, and resurrection, while also considering how the Son of God shares his royal identity with his followers.

Are we focusing on the wrong threats while ignoring the ones growing right inside our own communities? Join Mike, Tim, and Seth as they dive deep into the biblical definition of the Antichrist, the manipulative power of fear, and how the modern church often aligns itself with worldly systems rather than the Kingdom of God. This episode moves beyond traditional labels to explore what it actually means to live in a cosmically contested space. In this conversation, the team unpacks the startling New Testament reality that antichrists are often plural and internal to the church, rather than a single external boogeyman. We discuss the recent tragic events in Iran and how nationalistic rhetoric often blinds us to the suffering of others. By looking at the life of Jesus through the lens of security versus threat, we explore why the church is so easily led by fear and how we can begin to resist the systemic powers of individualism, tribalism, and redemptive violence.

One of the most common questions that I get these days is, What is the relationship between Scripture and tradition? This is often prompted by followers who are beginning to explore conversion to Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy or have children who are. I am finally sharing my public answer to this question after a decade of study and dialogue. In this first teaching, I explain the problem and survey the major New Testament passages used by Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox apologists to make their case for tradition and to undermine the classical Protestant view of sola scriptura. #SolaScriptura #Tradition #Catholic #Orthodox #Protestant

Following Jesus is sometimes presented as the easy road, a path of safety and happiness. Read the New Testament, and you'll see a much different story: following Jesus is a narrow road that is often marked by pain and persecution. On the night before Jesus was crucified, Jesus gathered with his disciples for the Passover meal so he could prepare them for what was to come. In the face of suffering and death, Jesus said, Do not let your hearts be troubled (John 14:1), and in the following four chapters he taught his disciples how to trust and abide in Him when life hurts the most. Every Sunday in March we will be encouraged by Jesus' words as he teaches us how to remain in him.

In this episode of the Church Planter Podcast, Peyton Jones and Pete Mitchell explore a foundational idea behind Discipology: before you make disciples, you must first become one. But that doesn't simply mean being saved, it means allowing the character of Jesus to shape your life. Peyton explains how the New Testament qualifications for leaders ultimately describe a life that reflects Christ's character. From there, he introduces the Shalom Star, a practical tool designed to help believers evaluate whether their lives are growing in healthy, Christ-like balance across six key areas: spiritual life, honor (responsibilities), affections, learning, others, and mental health. Together, Pete and Peyton discuss why imbalance in a leader's life can undermine their witness, how discipleship shapes character through proximity to Jesus, and why personal transformation must come before effective disciple-making.Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode:TakeShalom.comDiscipologyBook.comReliant Mission: reliant.org/cppNewBreed TrainingThanks for listening to the church planter podcast.

In this episode, we walk verse by verse through James 2:14–26, one of the most discussed passages in the New Testament.James asks a powerful question: What good is it if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds?Does this mean our works save us? How does this passage fit with Paul's teaching that we are saved by grace through faith?Together we unpack:• The difference between claiming faith and living faith • Why works do not earn salvation • How true faith naturally produces action • What Abraham and Rahab teach us about obedience • Why James says faith without deeds is deadScripture makes it clear that salvation is a gift from God, but genuine faith transforms the way we live. Our works are not the root of salvation, they are the fruit of it.If you've ever wrestled with how faith and works fit together, this episode will help bring clarity and encouragement._________________________________________

Is your name written in the Book of Life? The Book of Life is mentioned eight times in the New Testament (once in Philippians and seven times in Revelation). The Bible teaches that this book lists all the names of people who are going to spend eternity in heaven with Jesus. If your name is not in the book, you will be denied access to heaven. So how can you be sure your name will be listed in the Book of Life? Find out in today's study from Philippians 4 with Pastor Gary.

We all have things we struggle to say no to—habits, cravings, distractions that promise satisfaction but leave us feeling stuck. But when we start saying “no” to the things pulling us away from God, we create space to say “yes” to the life he wants for us.

Throughout the New Testament, Christ places a high priority on the local church. In our series, Building Blocks of a Dynamic Church, we will understand how Christ designed the church to function, how we can love and invest in it, and how we can be built up and enriched as we grow in Christ. This series is designed to give us an understanding of how a dynamic church should function, and how we fit into God's eternal plan for changing the world.

March 15th, 2026 | No Other Gospel | Galatians 2:11-21Pastor Todd Kaunitz continues the No Other Gospel series with a powerful look at Galatians 2:11–21, highlighting both confrontation and clarity when it comes to the truth of the Gospel.Through a striking real-life illustration and Paul's face-to-face confrontation with Peter, we're reminded of a challenging but essential truth: no one outgrows the Gospel. Even seasoned believers can fall into fear, compromise, and spiritual blind spots. When Peter withdraws from Gentile believers out of fear of man, Paul boldly calls him out—not to shame him, but to protect the integrity of the Gospel.This passage leads into one of the clearest explanations of the Gospel in the New Testament. Pastor Todd unpacks what it means to be justified by faith alone—not by works of the law—and why our standing before God rests entirely on the finished work of Jesus Christ. The law exposes our need but cannot save; only Jesus can declare us righteous.But the Gospel doesn't stop at justification. It continues into sanctification—Christ actively at work within us. Galatians 2:20 reminds us that we have been crucified with Christ, and now live by faith in Him. To rely on ourselves is to nullify grace; to trust in Jesus is to experience ongoing transformation.This message is both a wake-up call and an invitation: Where might fear or compromise be shaping your life? And are you truly trusting in the finished and ongoing work of Christ?Listen in and rediscover the power of the Gospel—not just for salvation, but for every day of your life.Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠⁠

There is a good deal of Paul's personal circumstances, feelings, activities, and attitude to his own ministry in this highly interesting letter...   Throughout this letter the reader cannot help feeling how "human" was Paul, and how genuine in his concern for the young and struggling churches under his care.   - From the introduction

All throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we see a clear pattern of people in Scripture turning to prayer and fasting in times of uncertainty, brokenness, and need. And in those examples, we find that prayer and fasting are not just religious obligations but natural responses to desperation. And we find that moments of crisis can lead to spiritual renewal when approached with humility and dependence on God. And we find that whether you and I are facing the unknown road ahead or the ruins of life, the invitation is to pray and fast, recognizing that our deepest hunger can only be satisfied by God. SPEAKERS: Jay Kim (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Ezra 8:21,23, Nehemiah 1:3-4

In Christ. In Community. In Lebanon.https://www.cornerstonelebanon.com/YouTube LivestreamThe Scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments (66 books) are the unique, divinely inspired, authoritative word of God that came through human agents under God's providence. Its primary purpose is to make us wise for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 3:15), who is the ultimate revelation of Eternal Life that the Scriptures testify about (John 5:39; Luke 24:25-27).

Benjamin Gladd and Nancy Guthrie outline principles for making sound biblical connections, tracing themes in the text, and avoiding common pitfalls of biblical interpretation. The New Testament includes 350 direct quotations from the Old, along with 6000–8,000 Old Testament allusions. Deep Bible study and the proper use of cross-references will help us rightly interpret both testaments in light of each other and better understand how all the Scriptures together point to Christ.
