Podcasts about New Testament

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we dig deep into future things and focused on the controversy surrounding the Rapture. We tackled some of the biggest questions about this end time event including the differences between the different views on when the rapture will occur and the importance and purpose of end times prophecy. What if you could change your life through the practice of “self-brain surgery”? We are not talking about taking medical instruments and cutting into our own heads but a scientifically and biblically supported idea that we can heal depression, anxiety and other issues by reordering out thinking. We spoke to an accomplished neurosurgeon who shared his powerful personal story of discovering this practice, how to distinguish the difference between the brain and the mind and the 10 commandments of self-brain surgery that will lead to transformed life. How do loving Christian parents handle an invitation to the wedding of their child who is involved in a same-sex relationship? This issue has become a sticky wicket for many Christians who struggle with now to balance their faith against their love for their child or friend. We turned to a favorite friend of the program who not only has years of ministry experience dealing with the homosexual community, he himself also struggled in that lifestyle for many years. He gave us a clear, biblically grounded understanding of how to address these challenges, how our society has lost the purpose and definition of marriage as God intended and he challenged us on whether we are choosing to please God or man. How well do we really understand the powerful work of the Holy Spirit? Our guest helped us gain a bigger, deeper understanding of His work by looking at some of the most important references to His work in the New Testament. He showed us why believers are missing out on one most vital aspects of their faith-walk by not comprehending and walking daily in His power. Once again Janet and Craig are ready to help us improve our skills regarding discerning truth from confusion in the marketplace of ideas by using the scriptures as the ever trustful and always reliable straight stick of truth.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John Anderson speaks with Wes Huff and Dan Paterson about the striking cultural shift among younger generations towards a renewed search for meaning, transcendence, and moral grounding. They reflect on disillusionment with secular narratives and the renewed interest in Christianity as a source of lifelong direction and purpose. Huff and Paterson explore the impact of numerous online role models for young men, including Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate. This is a conversation that questions whether modern society can sustain itself without a deeper moral and spiritual foundation. Wes Huff is the Vice President for Apologetics Canada and has participated in public dialogues, debates, and interfaith events on issues of belief and religion around the world. Huff holds a BA in sociology from York University, a Masters of Theological Studies from Tyndale University, and is currently doing a PhD in New Testament at the University of Toronto's Wycliffe College. Dan Paterson is the founder Questioning Christianity. He has experience as a pastor, lecturer, and public speaker, having studied Theology and Apologetics in Australia and at Oxford. Paterson speaks regularly to audiences across the belief spectrum on how the gospel connects to life's biggest questions, and on the popular objections to the Christian faith.

Is ignoring the Sabbath actually a sin, or is it just spiritually and emotionally unhealthy? In this episode of the Rethink and Revive Podcast, Dave and Jeff unpack what the Bible really says about Sabbath—looking at the 10 Commandments, Jesus' teachings, New Testament passages, hustle culture, burnout, mental health, and trust in God—and wrestle with why most Christians don't practice a true day of rest. If you've ever wondered whether your non-stop schedule is disobedience, distrust, or just modern life, this conversation will challenge how you think about rest, work, faith, and the way you use your time.

It is important to study the Old Testament to understand how God unfolds the revelation of Christ in the New Testament. The Lord's Passover and the exodus out of Egypt's bondage point to Christ's delivering sacrifice. Just as the children of Israel had to apply the blood of the lamb to the door to be spared from death, we must apply the shed blood of Christ to our hearts. The whole event is a template for us as we act in faith today and receive His deliverance from the bondage of sin and death.

How Can Christians Turn Groans into Growth By Responding to Ecological Grief?   In this episode of the Good Faith Podcast, host Curtis Chang talks with Dr. Jonathan Moo, a decorated professor of both the New Testament and Environmental Studies, about why Christian creation care belongs at the center of discipleship. Drawing from Romans 8, Colossians 1, and Genesis 1–2, Moo connects biblical hope for new creation with practical action on climate change, stewardship, and loving our neighbors by caring for the places they depend on and enjoy. The conversation explores how faith and science can work together, why "dominion" looks like Christ-shaped service, and how small, local projects—from Uganda to Texas—offer tangible models of environmental renewal. Dr. Moo offers us a bigger vision of human flourishing, plus concrete next steps for Christians and churches to live joyfully and faithfully in God's world.   05:04 - How Do Jonathan Moo's Academic and Faith and Love for Creation Intersect? 07:51 - Romans 8 and Lament for Creation 17:38 - Salvation, Resurrection, and the Earth 22:08 - Practical Examples of Creation Care 27:01 - Motivating People To Move From Enjoying Nature To Actively Caring For It 31:24 - How Do We Address Interpretations of "Dominion"? 36:32 - Jesus as Model for Dominion 39:34 - Understanding Barriers Between Evangelicals and Science  47:16 - Engaging with Skeptics and Loved Ones 53:25 - Advice for Skeptics  55:11 - Practical Steps for the Environmentally Concerned   Episode Companion: Christians and Climate Change Guide 2   Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter   Learn more about George Fox Talks     Mentioned In This Episode: Tools, Websites, and Organizations A Rocha USA Bull Creek Restoration Project Climate Stewards USA   Books and Authors Learn more about Aldo Leopold Learn more about Alister McGrath Learn more about Evelyn Waugh Learn more about Wendell Berry Debra Rienstra's Refugia Faith: Seeking Hidden Shelters, Ordinary Wonders, and the Healing of the Earth   Biblical Passages Colossians 1:15-20 (ESV) Romans 8 (ESV) Genesis 1 and 2 (ESV) Mark 12:30-31 (ESV)   Concepts and Ideas Carbon Calculator (use for offsets) Bio Sand Filters No Till Agriculture Mulching and Crop Rotation   More From Dr. Jonathan Moo: Jonathan & Douglas Moo's Creation Care: A Biblical Theology of the Natural World (Biblical Theology for Life) More about Dr. Moo: Whitworth professor acts as a wilderness guide A reminder of Dr. Moo's A.W.A.K.E. acronym   Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook   The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

This is part four of the Restoration Theology class. Last time we covered the importance of using the Bible to build our beliefs. But what is the Bible? Well, it wasn’t written in American English or in the West or in recent history. The Bible is a library of books written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Still, that doesn’t quite answer the question of what the Bible is. Let’s just focus on the New Testament (NT) for a moment. The NT contains twenty-seven books written in Greek. But that still doesn’t tell you the whole picture. In fact, when you pick up a Greek New Testament (GNT), you’re looking at a scholarly reconstruction of what textual specialists think the earliest recoverable form of each word of the original New Testament is. This reconstruction is based on thousands of little decisions of textual critics who have at their disposal thousands of handwritten GNT manuscripts. It’s a little complicated, but you need to know what’s going on. Eventually in this class we’re going to get around to building and evaluating doctrines based on the Bible. Sometimes manuscript variations have a great bearing on doctrine. So, you need to know this stuff. What I’ve done in this episode is put together a narrative, marching through history to see not only what the most important kinds of manuscripts are, but also their exciting stories of discovery. I hope you will enjoy learning about this important field.   Listen on Spotify   Listen on Apple Podcasts —— Links —— Check out the other episodes of the Restoration Theology class Support Restitutio by donating here Join our Facebook group, follow on X @RestitutioSF or Instagram @Sean.P.Finnegan Leave a 90 second voice message via SpeakPipe with questions or comments and we may play it out on the air Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here Get Finnegan’s book, Kingdom Journey to learn about God’s kingdom coming on earth as well as the story of how Christianity lost this pearl of great price.

In traditional Trinitarian language, there are three persons in the one "being/essence" of God (as expressed in the Greek noun "ousia"). However, "ousia" does not mean "essence" or "being" in the New Testament, nor in the Septuagint. This week's episode examines how the meaning of "ousia" evolved over time to justify the post-biblical doctrine of a tri-personal God.

From two accounts of scripture, one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament, we are reminded and commanded to seek and search the ways of God through His word.

“What are Anglican sacraments?” This question opens a discussion on the validity of Anglican sacraments, alongside inquiries about communicating the nature of devotionals to non-Catholics and the historical role of laity in the early Church. The conversation also touches on the impact of politics on the split between Orthodox and Roman rites, providing a rich exploration of faith and history. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish!

In today's world, many people only hear part of God's Word, but God has given us the full picture. Why do pastors choose to preach through the entire Bible? Because every part of Scripture is important for our faith and growth. In this episode, Pastor Jeff explores why it's so vital to teach the whole Bible. From Paul's example of faithfully teaching "the whole counsel of God" (Acts 20:27) to Ezra's careful reading and explaining of Scripture (Nehemiah 8:8), we learn that a healthy church is built on all of God's truth, not just parts of it. We'll see how the early church grew strong by focusing on the Bible in its entirety (Acts 2:42, 6:4) and how all of Scripture—both the Old and New Testaments—helps us understand God's plan and reveals Jesus to us (Romans 3:21-22, Hebrews 1:1-2). When pastors skip parts of Scripture, believers can become weak in their faith. But when we embrace all of God's Word, it teaches, strengthens, and protects us (Psalm 19:7-8, 1 Peter 1:23-25). If you want to grow in your faith and have a deeper understanding of God's Word, this episode will encourage you to embrace the whole Bible. It's time for the church to hear the full counsel of God. __________________________________________________________________________________ The Biblical Counseling Academy We train Christians to counsel with Scripture so they can help hurting people find hope in Christ.

Today is day 25 and we are concluding the section Concerning Holy Scripture with question 35. 35. What is the Apocrypha? The fourteen books of the Apocrypha, historically acknowledged by this church, are pre-Christian Jewish writings that provide background for the New Testament and are included in many editions of the Bible. They may be read as examples of faithful living but “not to establish any doctrine.” (Articles of Religion, 6) Today we will pray the First Additional Prayer for the Burial of the Dead which is on page 263 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Romans 10:14-17 — In the first part of his sermon on Romans 10:14–17 titled “Called to Preach (1),” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones answers an important question: what makes a preacher? As he curates a biblical list that describes an ideal pastor, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones declares the first reason for preaching. Quoting from Romans, he reads, “And how can they believe in whom they have not heard?” The primary reason for preaching is to herald the good news to those who have not heard. As Paul wrote, people cannot believe in something unless they're told of it. The second reason for preaching, he says, is because a person is called. Dr. Lloyd-Jones gives a number of New Testament examples of people being called to preach the good news. Chiefly, he cites Christ's calling of the disciples. Lastly, he reminds the listener how important it is for a preacher to be appointed by the congregation. He again quotes passages from the New Testament where the church selected and prayed over certain people to bring the message locally and abroad. A person cannot appoint himself to preach. He must be given the responsibility by the church body. Dr. Lloyd-Jones concludes by saying that these three points are essential to preaching and the great opportunity to share the promise of Christ.

Jesus Christ meets us in our mess—but He never intends to leave us there. In this episode, Scott and Deb explore a crucial gospel distinction that often gets blurred: we are saved from our sins, not in them. Drawing from the Book of Mormon, the New Testament, and lived experience, they unpack how grace is not moral indifference, mercy is not permission, and love does not excuse stagnation. Together they discuss why Christ's Atonement invites real transformation without condemnation, how sin clouds spiritual perception, and what it means to yield—rather than justify or self-condemn. This conversation is an invitation to clarity, alignment, and renewed trust in the Savior who rescues us so we can become new.

Dr. Lynn H. Cohick is a for-real Bible scholar – which is the way you say that when you're not a for-real Bible scholar. Dr. Cohick is Professor of New Testament and also Director of Houston Theological Seminary at Houston Christian University.She served as President of the Institute of Biblical Research, as a senior translator on the New Living Bible Translation team. She serves on the Board of Trustees at Biola University and as the founder and President of Center for Women in Leadership. She has a great podcast – The Alabaster Jar -- and she's just a delightful human being. It is a joy today to talk with her about women in the Bible and in the 21st century, and about a passage in Ephesians that I think you'll find illuminating.

Host Jeff welcomes author Tim Cohen for the fourth installment of his Tribulation series. This episode examines Revelation 6 and the fourth seal, placing the events of the Tribulation into a larger sacramental and typological framework patterned on the Crucifixion Week. Jeff and Tim discuss how the four horsemen cohere, why the fourth rider is named "Death," and how that imagery ties to Psalm 22 and New Testament typology. Tim Cohen presents his view that the Tribulation Week mirrors the Crucifixion Week, and he walks through the sequence and timing he reads in Scripture: conquest, war, famine, then death. They discuss the identity and symbolism of the beasts and horsemen (including the pale/ashen horse), the heraldic and historical imagery Tim associates with King Charles III as the prophesied top-dog Antichrist figure, and the role of Satanic possession in that portrait. The conversation covers geopolitical implications and possible near-term signs, including Iran/Persia, North Korea, Russia and the shifting alliances Tim connects to prophetic patterns. Jeff and Tim debate the timing and nature of a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem, the “abomination of desolation,” and whether a functioning inner and outer court or full temple is likely—Tim places construction in the early part of the fourth year of the Tribulation with key sacrificial activity stopping at the midpoint. Wider theological and eschatological themes are explored: the meaning of "firstfruits" and the 144,000, the relationship of Christ's death–burial–resurrection to the seven seals, what Revelation 11 and Daniel 9:27 suggest about sacrificial practice during the Tribulation, and the timing of the first resurrection. Tim also addresses common misunderstandings about Mystery Babylon versus Jerusalem, Mount Zion's future elevation, and the end-of-age topography and events leading into Armageddon. Throughout the episode Tim cites biblical language, Hebrew textual details, and historical typology (including references from his Messiah History and Tribulation Period series and The Antichrist and Capitoli). Listeners are directed to prophecyhouse.com for Tim's books and resources. Jeff and Tim close by previewing the next show (the fifth seal) and encourage listeners to keep studying and preparing spiritually while serving their communities.

The Letter of Jude E5 — In verses 11-16, Jude continues warning his Jewish messianic audience about deceptive, immoral people infiltrating their house churches. He compares them to three characters from the Hebrew Bible—Cain, Balaam, and Korah—who choose rebellion for themselves and lead others astray. Next, he compares the corrupt church members to a series of images from Scripture, including selfish shepherds, rainless clouds, and wandering stars. In this episode, Jon and Tim continue exploring Jude's dense prose, where he seamlessly weaves together allusions to the Hebrew Bible and Second-Temple period literature into a piercing critique of imposters within a community of disciples.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter summaries, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSCain, Balaam, and Korah (0:00-23:23)Six Images of Corrupt Leaders (23:23-37:45)The Prophecy of Enoch (37:45-55:42)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.BIBLEPROJECT JUDE TRANSLATIONView our full translation of the Letter of Jude.REFERENCED RESOURCESAntiquities of the Jews by JosephusCheck out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Gentle Lamb” by Lofi Sunday, Yoni Charis“Purple Clouds ft.

Truth defined by God stands in contrast to truth claims grounded primarily in experience.
In this episode, Ron rides confidently through his home terrain in the New Testament, while John drifts into theological questions that reveal just how complex "truth" becomes in the biblical writings. As we move through the New Testament, the guys explore the tension: the closer we get to the truth, are we more likely to disagree? And if truth is something we are called to walk in, how do we remain united in faithful action rather than fractured by interpretation?  Bundle up and tune in to today's episode of the After Class Podcast.

Are you ever tempted to believe that you need something more than Jesus—some special knowledge, mystical experience, or extra set of rules to truly thrive? In this episode of Seek Go Create, Tim Winders explores the powerful message of Colossians, where Paul declares Christ is truly enough, even for a church grappling with uncertainty, false teachings, and shaking ground. Dive deep into the historical context, urgent warnings, and timeless encouragement of this short but power-packed letter.

In this timely and biblical message, Pastor Ryan Visconti addresses one of the most debated issues of our moment: immigration - through the lens of Scripture. With both clarity and compassion, he explains how Christians can hold love for the foreigner and respect for law and order in tension - without falling into the world's false “either/or.”Pastor Ryan walks through key passages in the Old and New Testaments to show:why every human being has dignity as an image-bearer of God,why nations and borders exist by God's design,why lawlessness produces real consequences,and how the gospel ultimately reframes the immigration conversation spiritually—because we were once “foreigners” to God, but brought near through Jesus.If you've felt confused, burdened, or pressured to pick a side, this message will help you think with biblical maturity and respond with truth, wisdom, and mercy.

Everything we thought we knew about women in the Bible was shaped by centuries of erasure. In this groundbreaking episode, I sit down with Professor Tal Ilan, one of the world's leading historians on Jewish women in late antiquity, to uncover the real lives of women in the first century. From synagogue leaders to economic powerhouses, from temple participation to early Christian leadership, Prof. Ilan reveals the evidence that's been hiding in plain sight. Her research in the Lexicon of Jewish Names and the Feminist Commentary on the Babylonian Talmud Project has reshaped how scholars understand women's roles in ancient Judaism, and this conversation will transform how you read the New Testament.This isn't just history. This is about recovering the stories that were written out of Scripture and discovering what happens when we put them back in. Prof. Ilan walks us through inscriptions, archaeological evidence, and ancient texts that prove Jewish women held far more agency, influence, and leadership than we've been taught. And when we apply that context to figures like Mary Magdalene, Phoebe, Priscilla, and Junia, the New Testament comes alive in ways you've never seen before.In this episode you will learn:- Why 70% of the "silent, secluded woman" image is historically accurate, but the 30% that isn't changes everything- The archaeological evidence of women as synagogue leaders, donors, and patrons throughout the ancient Jewish world- How women participated in temple festivals, sacred spaces, and religious life in ways that contradict common assumptions- Why Mary Magdalene may actually be the founder of Christianity based on her role in the resurrection narrative- The truth about female apostles like Junia, Phoebe, and Priscilla and what their leadership tells us about early Christianity- How the destruction of the temple actually reduced women's religious participation compared to earlier periods- Why Paul's list of resurrection witnesses deliberately excluded women, and what that reveals about early Christian politics- The connection between Jesus's inclusive ministry and the women who became his closest followers- How rabbinic Judaism developed partly in response to Christianity's "New Testament" model- What modern Christians are missing when they read the Bible without understanding first-century Jewish women's real livesConnect with Prof. Tal Ilan:Prof. Ilan's groundbreaking work includes:The Lexicon of Jewish Names in Late AntiquityIntegrating Women into Second Temple HistorySUBSCRIBE TO THE DIG IN PODCASTYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaCONNECT WITH JOHNNY OVAAll Things Johnny: https://linktr.ee/johnnyovaGet Johnny's Book, The Revelation Reset: https://a.co/d/hiUkW8H

Notes Matthew 5:13-20 Isaiah 58:1-12 1 Corinthians 2:1-16 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Robb McCoy and Eric Fistler discuss the readings for the fifth Sunday after Epiphany, focusing on Matthew 5:13-20, Isaiah 58:1-12, and 1 Corinthians 2:1-16. They explore themes of identity, the importance of community engagement, and the call to live out one's faith through action. The conversation emphasizes the significance of being 'salt and light' in the world, the necessity of justice in worship, and the transformative power of Christ's message. Takeaways The Beatitudes set the foundation for understanding our value in God's eyes. Being 'salt of the earth' means recognizing our worth and the impact we can have. Worship should lead to action and justice in the community. Christ's crucifixion serves as a model for nonviolent protest against injustice. The importance of context in interpreting biblical passages cannot be overstated. Our voices and actions matter in the pursuit of justice and compassion. The call to be 'light of the world' is a call to visibility and authenticity in faith. Engagement in community events and conferences can enrich our preaching and understanding. The connection between the Old and New Testament readings highlights a consistent message of justice. Understanding our identity in Christ empowers us to act with purpose and love.

In this episode, Ronn and Mike discuss John 12 as a theological and narrative hinge in the Gospel, situating it within the chronology of Passion Week while exploring its deeper implications for atonement, messianic expectation, and Gentile inclusion. They noted that early church councils never defined a single atonement theory, arguing instead for a flexible, text-driven, and retrospective understanding of Jesus' death that emerges only after the resurrection. Walking through key scenes—the anointing at Bethany, the triumphal entry, the growing threat posed by Lazarus, and Jesus' interaction with Greeks seeking him—they emphasized how John frames Jesus' death as the means by which the Gentile world is drawn in to Abraham's family and the ruler of this world is judged. Along the way, they challenged overly simplistic prophecy-fulfillment models, cautioned against reading the Old Testament too quickly through a New Testament lens.

The Seven Attributes of Jesus (Christology 1)Big Idea: Jesus Christ is not just a chapter in the story of God; He is the Author, the Hero, and the Ending. When we see Jesus for who He truly is, every other priority in our lives finds its proper place.Today we begin a nine-week journey through the Book of Hebrews, a letter written to magnify the greatness of Jesus Christ. Hebrews isn't primarily about religious rules, moral improvement, or spiritual techniques. It's about Jesus—who He is and what He has done. Everything else flows from that foundation.The original audience was likely Jewish Christians living under Roman rule, facing intense persecution. As pressure mounted, many were tempted to abandon their faith in Jesus and return to the familiarity and safety of traditional Judaism. Hebrews speaks directly into that tension with one clear message: Jesus is greater than anyone or anything that came before Him. To walk away from Him would be to walk away from the fulfillment of all God's promises.The author of Hebrews remains anonymous, one of the great mysteries of the New Testament. While Paul may have influenced it, the writing style is far more polished and rhetorically sophisticated than Paul's letters. Hebrews chapter 1 proves this immediately. Verses 1–4 form a single, majestic sentence in the original Greek—an exordium, designed to grab attention with both beauty and weight.Hebrews 1:1–4 (NLT) sets the stage:“Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son…”In the Old Testament, God spoke in fragments—a dream here, a burning bush there, a prophet's warning along the way. But in Jesus, God didn't just send messages; He sent the Message. This is Christology—the study of the person and work of Jesus Christ—and Hebrews wastes no time getting to the point.In verses 2–3, the author unleashes a rapid-fire description of Jesus using seven distinct attributes. In Scripture, the number seven represents completeness and perfection. Together, these form a full portrait of the Son.Jesus is the Heir—the goal of history. God has promised everything to Him as an inheritance. History is not random; it is moving toward the coronation of King Jesus. He is the “why” behind all creation.Jesus is the Creator—the architect of reality. Through Him, God made the universe. Jesus is not a created being; He is the source of all things. Nothing exists apart from His will.Jesus is the Radiance—the shining glory of God. He doesn't merely reflect God's glory like the moon reflects sunlight; He radiates it. The Son is the visible manifestation of the invisible God—“Light from Light.”Jesus is the Expression—the exact imprint of God's nature. The Greek word charaktēr refers to a stamp or seal. Jesus doesn't resemble God; He perfectly represents Him. To see Jesus is to see God.Jesus is the Sustainer—the glue of the cosmos. He holds everything together by the power of His word. The universe doesn't persist on autopilot; it endures because Jesus commands it to.Jesus is the Savior—the cleanser of sin. When He purified us from our sins, the work was finished. Unlike Old Testament priests who never sat down, Jesus completed the work once for all.Finally, Jesus is the Ruler—the seated King. He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven, a position of total authority. The victory is won.Hebrews 1:4 reminds us that Jesus is far greater than angels, traditions, or anything else we might be tempted to trust. For believers facing hardship, this truth re-centers everything.The message of Hebrews is clear:...

Join us for the first episode of our brand new series, where we dive deep into the concept of Jesus as God's final King and the establishment of His everlasting kingdom. In this thought-provoking discussion, we explore how traditional views of Jesus as merely a Savior can limit our understanding of His true role and purpose. In this episode, we unpack the historical context of Jesus' title, the significance of the term "Christ," and how it relates to the kingdom of God. We challenge listeners to reconsider their faith frameworks and encourage them to engage with the New Testament in a fresh way. Whether you grew up in a specific faith tradition or are exploring these ideas for the first time, this episode aims to shift your perspective and invite you to participate in the transformative kingdom that Jesus came to establish. Tune in as we set the stage for the next four weeks of exploration and discovery, and prepare to see the scriptures—and your faith—in a whole new light! Read along with our chosen scripture: Luke 1:30–33; John 19:12 The Main Idea: If we re-center our faith around the arrival of a King rather than a ticket to heaven, we will discover why his arrival and his kingdom is good news for all people. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode for January 31st, 2026, Hunter guides us through the final day of January with a deep and meaningful journey into Scripture. We continue our exploration of Exodus, digging into chapters 28 and 29, where God gives detailed instructions for Aaron and his sons to be set apart as priests. We witness the sacred garments, rituals, and ceremonies that marked their consecration, pointing to themes of holiness and representation before God. Switching to the New Testament, Hunter reads from Acts 7, recounting Stephen's powerful defense before the high priest—a sweeping narrative that ties together the story of Abraham, Moses, and Israel, culminating in the revelation of Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promise to liberate and redeem all of humanity. Stephen's words serve as an invitation to embrace God's story—a story of hope, freedom, and love—and to recognize Christ's work in drawing us into a life that is full and free. The episode closes with heartfelt prayers for peace, unity, purpose, and love, reminding listeners of God's presence and faithfulness as they step into a new month. If you're seeking encouragement and spiritual rhythm in your daily life, join Hunter for Scripture, reflection, and prayer—knowing that you are loved, no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The story is not over. Stephen is giving us a sweeping historical account to open the eyes of people trapped in a story that does not give them life. And that, my friend, is so easy to do. We so easily get swept up into our pride, our ambition, our past, our shame, our regrets. We can be so buried and blinded by our story that we fail to see that we have been drawn into the story of God—a story of liberation, of freedom, a story of hope, a story of love. Stephen has shown us that all of history is pointing to Christ, who has come for all humanity to set us free from slavery and to make us his own. And Christ has given himself that he might drag all of humanity into the story that we were made for. So let us humbly agree and say thank you for what Christ has done, for what you have become in him. You are his child and you are free. So let us live in the light and the freedom of what God has done in Christ—for you, for me, for the whole world. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

“But Jesus said to them, ‘A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house.’” (Mark 6:4 NKJV) Imagine being the half brother of Jesus. You could never blame Him for anything. Think about it. Who were Mary and Joseph going to believe—you or the only sinless human being who ever lived? Imagine trying to compete for your parents’ attention with the long-awaited Messiah, the Son of God, the Savior of your people. That was the lot in life for James, the author of the New Testament book that bears his name. It’s noteworthy that neither James nor any of Jesus’ other half brothers believed in Jesus prior to His resurrection. In fact, at one point, Jesus’ family came to take Him home, thinking that He had taken leave of His senses. John 7:5 states plainly, “For even His brothers did not believe in Him” (NKJV). Yet James starts his epistle by identifying himself as “a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ” (James 1:1 NKJV). He doesn’t identify himself as “James, the brother of the Lord” or even “James, the half brother of Jesus.” Instead, he writes, “James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Still, it seems hard to believe that James came to recognize the truth about Jesus so relatively late in life. After all, Jesus lived a flawless life. He never lied or stole or lost His temper. He never even sinned inwardly. Yet as Jesus Himself said, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house” (Mark 6:4 NKJV). That just goes to show that even living a perfect life is not necessarily enough to convince someone of the truth about Jesus. And, for believers who are trying to share that truth, it becomes even more difficult because all of us have fallen short at times in living out the witness we ought to live. The hardest people for many Christians to reach are those who are closest to us, especially in our own families. Many of us were raised in non-Christian homes. We know how difficult and hostile an environment that can be. It took the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to finally reach His brothers. That’s when they all believed. It took the power of the gospel. Reaching family with the gospel message is still a challenge. But it’s a challenge we must rise to. The questions that the apostle Paul poses in Romans 10:14–15 still apply. “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!’” (NKJV).

Romans 10:11-13 — People love to make distinctions between themselves and others, between their tribe and other tribes. Fallen hearts tend to make these distinctions so as to elevate themselves above others, especially in religious matters. The apostle Paul has tirelessly labored in Romans to emphasize that there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile –– all sin falls short of the glory of God. If one does not follow the apostle here, they will construct different ways of salvation that appeal to the flesh. One may think being moral, good or kind is the way of salvation. But God's way of salvation has always been the same — those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. There is no distinction between Jew or Gentile in any sense, whether in sin or salvation. In this sermon on Romans 10:11–13 titled “Jew or Gentle, No Difference,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones expounds Paul's teaching and brings contemporary application. Specifically, he applies Paul's teaching here to dispensationalism and its teaching that makes a distinction between salvation for Jews and salvation for the church. In an amicable spirit, Dr. Lloyd-Jones challenges the popular movement by rightly connecting the Old Testament teaching on salvation with the New Testament. He emphasizes that there is only one way with one gospel and no distinctions. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/603/29?v=20251111

Today is day 31 and we are in the section Concerning Holy Scripture on question 31. 31. What does it mean that Holy Scripture is the Word of God? The Old and New Testaments are inspired by the Holy Spirit and are therefore the Word of God written. God is revealed in his mighty works and in the incarnation of our Lord, which are made known through the inspired writings of the biblical authors. God “has spoken through the prophets” (Nicene Creed)and continues to speak through Scripture today. (Psalm 33:4–9; Jeremiah 1:9; Ezekiel 2:1–3:4; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 3:15–16; Hebrews 1:1–2) Our prayer today is Prayer 70.

“How do you know you’ve committed the unforgivable sin?” This question opens a discussion on the nature of sin and forgiveness, while also addressing varied topics such as the validity of the Immaculate Conception, the order of the New Testament gospels, and the moral implications of assisted suicide. Each question reflects the complexities of faith and understanding within the Catholic tradition. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 00:56 – How do you know you’ve committed the unforgivable sin against the spirit? 08:13 – I'm in a bit of a crisis. I was set on being Catholic. Then I learned about the Immaculate Conception. How can we verify a tradition if it wasn't a common teaching in the early church? I've heard there were seven popes that denied that teaching. 28:42 – Do any NT manuscripts possess the 4 gospels in a different order? 33:39 – My friend wishes she could have used assistant suicide with her parents. How could I explain to her that this is not a good option? 43:18 – How do I counter my SDA friend’s argument saying since Paul was an acceptable prophet, Ellen White is also a valid argument? 50:19 – My 11 YO wants to know, at what moment did God decide when to create humans or the universe in general?

The Old Testament said "an eye for an eye," but Jesus rewrites the script entirely. In this episode, we discover what it means to move in the opposite spirit and why there's no place for judgment in the New Testament. Graham asks one climactic question that changes everything: Was Jesus judged enough for sin?Key Scriptures:+ Leviticus 24:17-22. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth - Old Testament justice.+ Matthew 5:38-48. You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you not to resist an evil person...+ Luke 6:27-36. Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.+ Acts 5:1-11. The account of Ananias and Sapphira - spiritual warfare, not human judgment.+ Romans 8:1. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.+ John 3:17. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.+ Matthew 7:1. Judge not, that you be not judged.Want to explore more?
