Today, we explore Joshua 3:1-16, a powerful passage that teaches us how to respond when we face seemingly impossible situations. Just as the Israelites stood before the flooded Jordan River, we often encounter barriers in life that seem insurmountable. But through faith, preparation, and obedience, we can witness God's power at work in our lives. Let's dive into the study and discover how Joshua's experience can encourage and guide us in our own challenges.Study Notes:1. Facing an Impossible Situation (Joshua 3:1-4)Lesson: When facing challenges, we must keep our eyes on God's presence and trust His guidance, rather than relying on our own understanding.2. Preparing for the Miracle (Joshua 3:5-6)Lesson: Spiritual preparation—through confession, sanctification, and focusing on God—positions us to experience His power in our lives.3. God's Promise to Joshua (Joshua 3:7-13)Lesson: True faith requires action. We often have to step out in obedience before we see the results of God's promises.4. The Miracle at the Jordan (Joshua 3:14-16)Lesson: God specializes in doing the impossible, but He calls us to trust Him fully before we see the outcome.Application Questions:What "impossible" situation are you currently facing? How can you focus on God's presence rather than the problem?In what ways can you spiritually prepare yourself for God's work in your life?Are you willing to take a step of faith even before you see the outcome? What might that look like in your circumstances?How does Joshua's leadership and trust in God inspire you in your own faith journey?Key Takeaways:Keep your eyes on God – He is the one leading the way.Prepare your heart – Sanctify yourself to be ready for God's work.Step out in faith – Obedience often precedes miracles.Trust God's timing – His plan may not always be immediate, but it is always perfect.As we reflect on this passage, may we be reminded that no situation is truly impossible when we trust in the Lord. Whatever challenges you are facing today, step forward in faith, knowing that God goes before you.BlessinFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter. Laughs included.

Obedience is not always easy, but it is foundational to spiritual growth and God's plan for our lives.Key Themes:The tension between wanting to obey God and the pull of self-interest.The challenge of obeying human authority, especially when leaders are imperfect.Joshua's commands to the Israelites and their response of full submission.The importance of unity and collective obedience in fulfilling God's purposes.Study Notes:1. Joshua's Commands (Joshua 1:10-15)Joshua instructs the people to prepare provisions as they prepare to cross the Jordan.This marks a transition from reliance on supernatural provision (manna) to taking responsibility for their sustenance.The Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh are reminded of their duty to help their fellow Israelites claim their inheritance before settling in their own land.This obedience required sacrifice, patience, and trust in God's timing.2. The People's Response (Joshua 1:16-18)The Israelites pledge wholehearted obedience: “We will do, we will go, we will obey.”They affirm Joshua's leadership, recognizing that God is with him as He was with Moses.Their commitment underscores the importance of obedience for spiritual growth and collective success.They recognize that disobedience carries serious consequences.Lessons for Today:Obedience is foundational: It is necessary for spiritual growth, leadership, and God's blessings.Faith and trust are required: Obedience often means stepping into the unknown, trusting God's plans even when they don't align with our expectations.Sacrifice may be necessary: Just as the 2½ tribes had to leave their land and fight for others, we may be called to serve without immediate personal benefit.Encouragement for leaders: The Israelites' obedience strengthened Joshua's leadership—our obedience can encourage those leading us in faith.Reflection Questions:How do you respond when obedience requires sacrifice, patience, or trust?Are there areas in your life where you struggle to submit to authority? How can you align your attitude with biblical principles?What can you learn from the Israelites' willingness to obey wholeheartedly?Final Thought: Obedience may not always be easy, but it is essential. It is the foundation of spiritual growth, the key to effective leadership, and the pathway to God's blessings. May we, like the Israelites, say: “We will do, we will go, we will obey.”Support the showJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Many of us have experienced this frustration, especially when trying to reach those who are not only indifferent but also actively opposed to Christianity.In today's episode, we'll explore one of the most famous and unlikely conversions in the history of the church. Saul, who later became known as Paul, was once a fierce persecutor of Christians. His dramatic transformation, detailed in Acts 9:1-31, offers powerful lessons for us today. Join us as we dive into this remarkable story and uncover the spiritual truths it holds for us.Study Notes: "The Most Unlikely Conversion in History" (Acts 9:1-31)IntroductionReflecting on the difficulty of reaching those staunchly opposed to Christianity.Saul's story as a dramatic example of God's power to transform even the hardest hearts.Key PointsSaul's Pre-Conversion State:Saul's relentless persecution of Christians (Acts 9:1).His self-righteousness and zeal as a Pharisee.His journey to Damascus to arrest followers of "the Way" (Acts 9:2).The Conversion Encounter:The heavenly light and Jesus' voice (Acts 9:3-6).Saul's blindness and helplessness (Acts 9:8-9).Ananias' vision and obedience (Acts 9:10-19).Immediate Transformation:Saul's bold preaching in Damascus (Acts 9:20-22).The astonishment and opposition he faced (Acts 9:23-25).Challenges and Support:The scepticism from Jerusalem disciples (Acts 9:26).Barnabas' crucial role in vouching for Saul (Acts 9:27-28).Further opposition and Paul's relocation to Tarsus (Acts 9:29-30).Lessons and Applications:The importance of human involvement in nurturing new believers.Ananias and Barnabas as examples of obedience and encouragement.The reality of suffering in the Christian journey (Acts 9:16).The church's growth and peace following Paul's conversion (Acts 9:31).Spiritual LessonsGod's Sovereignty: God can reach and transform anyone, regardless of their past.Obedience and Trust: Ananias' and Barnabas' obedience to God's call played a pivotal role in Paul's journey.Community Support: New believers need the support and encouragement of the faith community.Perseverance through Trials: Embrace suffering as a part of the Christian walk, finding joy in God's presence amidst trials.Practical TakeawaysPray for the Unreachable: Trust that God is actively seeking those who seem far from Him.Engage and Support: Be willing to support and encourage new believers, helping them integrate into the faith community.Live as Examples: Strive to be godly examples, equippers, and encouragers for others in their faith journey.Support the showJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

He reminds them that they have been chosen by God, not because of their own greatness, but because of God's love and faithfulness. Yet, this chosen status comes with a heavy responsibility. The Israelites must remain faithful to God, resist the temptations of idolatry, and remember the covenant that has been established.As we reflect on these verses, we are called to examine our own lives. How often do we stand on the edge of God's promises, only to be distracted by the allure of the world? Like the Israelites, we too must remember our identity in Christ and remain steadfast in our devotion to Him.Join us as we unpack the reasons for obedience, the dangers of idolatry, and the hope that comes from seeking God with all our hearts.Study Notes: "Reasons For Obedience" (Deuteronomy 4:20-43)Key Themes:Appeal to Obedience: Moses calls the Israelites to obedience, reminding them of the covenant with God and the consequences of disobedience.Reminder of God's Faithfulness: God delivered the Israelites from Egypt, described as an "iron furnace," to be His special possession.Warning Against Idolatry: Moses warns of the spiritual dangers ahead, urging the people to avoid the worship of other gods.Consequences of Idolatry: Disobedience and idolatry will lead to severe consequences, including scattering among nations.The Attractiveness of the Lord: Moses emphasizes the uniqueness of God's relationship with Israel, urging obedience based on God's character and deeds.Twelve Reasons for Obedience:You will live (Deuteronomy 4:1).You will possess the land (Deuteronomy 4:1).You have seen what the Lord has done (Deuteronomy 4:3-5).You will be a witness to others (Deuteronomy 4:6).The Lord is near you (Deuteronomy 4:7).You have the Word of God (Deuteronomy 4:8-14).The Lord saved you (Deuteronomy 4:20).The Lord punishes disobedience (Deuteronomy 4:21-22, 25-28).The Lord made a covenant with you (Deuteronomy 4:23).The Lord is a jealous God (Deuteronomy 4:24).There is only one Lord, and there is none other like Him (Deuteronomy 4:32-37).Your children will be better off (Deuteronomy 4:40).Reflection:As we study this passage, we are reminded of the gravity of our choices and the importance of remaining faithful to God. The reasons for obedience are not just about avoiding punishment but about recognizing the incredible blessings and relationship we have with our Creator.Let this be a call to live in a way that honors God, walking in righteousness, love, light, and wisdom, as we journey towards the promises He has Support the showJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

This chapter isn't just a historical record; it's a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness and a call to remember how past victories can prepare us for future battles.As we unpack this passage, we'll explore how Moses was instructed to encourage and strengthen Joshua, the next leader of Israel. This encouragement was more than just kind words; it was a transfer of faith, confidence, and strength, rooted in the remembrance of God's previous works. We'll also connect these lessons to New Testament teachings, particularly the principles found in Hebrews 10:24-25, which emphasize the power of presence, consideration, and connection in offering true encouragement.Study Notes for "The Value of Past Experiences" (Deuteronomy 3:1-29)Key Themes:Reflection on Past Victories: Deuteronomy 3 recounts Israel's victory over Og, King of Bashan, emphasizing the importance of remembering God's faithfulness in past battles to build confidence for future challenges.Encouragement as a Spiritual Practice: Moses was commanded to encourage and strengthen Joshua, reminding him that just as God had granted victories in the past, He would continue to do so in the future. This highlights the power of encouragement in leadership and spiritual growth.Divine Judgment and Obedience: The chapter also touches on the consequences of disobedience, as seen in God's refusal to allow Moses to enter the Promised Land. This serves as a sober reminder of the importance of following God's commands.Key Verses:Deuteronomy 3:21: "And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, ‘Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done to these two kings; so will the Lord do to all the kingdoms through which you pass.'"Deuteronomy 3:22: "You must not fear them, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you."Practical Application:Remember Past Victories: Reflect on how God has worked in your life before, and use those experiences to strengthen your faith for current and future challenges.Encourage Others Thoughtfully: Whether in a leadership role or in everyday interactions, follow Moses' example by being present, understanding others' situations, and using carefully chosen words to uplift and strengthen their faith.Trust in God's Faithfulness: Just as God led Israel to victory, He is with us in our battles today. Lean on His promises and encourage others to do the same.Reflection Questions:How have Support the showJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

As we journey through this passage, we'll discover how the Israelites navigated their way through enemy territories, discerning when to fight and when to hold back, all under God's guidance.Episode Overview:In this study, we examine the Israelites' journey from Kadesh Barnea to the plains of Moab, focusing on their interactions with neighbouring nations. We learn that God sometimes calls us to fight, and at other times, He commands us to refrain. The challenge lies in discerning His will and acting accordingly. This episode will help you reflect on how to apply this wisdom in your life, particularly when it comes to deciding which battles are worth fighting.Study Notes for Episode 5: "Choosing Your Battles" (Deuteronomy 2:1-37)Key Themes:Following God's Direction:The Israelites' journey was marked by obedience to God's guidance. They moved when He said to move and refrained when He said to refrain. This chapter reminds us that God's guidance is crucial in making decisions about when to engage and when to step back.Respecting Boundaries:As the Israelites passed through Edom, Moab, and Ammon, God instructed them not to provoke these nations because He had given them their lands. This teaches us the importance of respecting others' boundaries and recognizing when a conflict is not ours to pursue.Knowing When to Fight:In contrast to the earlier commands to avoid conflict, God later instructs the Israelites to engage in battle with King Sihon of the Amorites. This highlights that while peace is preferred, there are times when we must stand and fight, particularly when it aligns with God's will.Application Points:Discerning God's Will:The central lesson of Deuteronomy 2 is the importance of seeking God's will in every situation. Whether it's deciding to engage in a conflict or choosing to avoid it, our actions should always be in line with His direction.Choosing Your Battles:Not every issue requires a fight. Reflect on the battles in your life—whether personal, relational, or spiritual—and consider if they align with God's purpose for you. Are there conflicts you need to let go of, and are there others where you need to stand firm?Standing Firm in the Faith:As Paul emphasized in Galatians, we must defend the purity of the gospel. There are times when we must fight for our faith, particularly against false teachings or distortions of the gospel. This is a battle worth fighting.Discussion Questions:How do you currently discern which battles in your life are worth fighting?Can you identify a situation where you felt God was telling you to step back from a conflict? How did you respond?In what ways can you stand firmSupport the showJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

THE BOOK OF REVELATION-- Episode #117 On a regular basis we have the newest report of the ‘end of the world’. Is is going to be a meteor like ‘Armageddon’? Or will it be ‘nuclear war’? How about a world wide pandemic? Or of course the ‘ubiquitous’ GLOBAL WARMING scare (or scam)? WORLD WIDE POLLUTION maybe? We all have some thoughts, don't we. ABOVE ALL, however we must understand that the main purpose of the book of REVELATION is not to SCARE US… or even to inform us how the world is going to end! It is to remind us that God will PROTECT US FROM OURSELVES… that this WORLD IS NOT OUR HOME… and that Jesus REALLY IS COMING BACK. The LAST WORDS OF JESUS are found in Revelation 22:20 BEHOLD I AM COMING SOON!! Hope you enjoy this Podcast about the final book of the Bible--REVELATION!

Ten times in the book of 1 John, the Aged Apostle refers to his readers as "dear children";. John is an old man when he writes these three letters to the church. He is the ONLY one of the 12 Disciples left. Peter is gone. Paul is long dead. In truth, John is one of only a relatively few people left on the earth that had actually met and talked with Jesus during his earthly life. John's life journey has carried him over some incredible times. His brother James was one of the first martyrs of Christianity. John is one of the last. The Lord is not done with the Apostle John yet, however. He writes-- as an Elder and an eyewitness of the ministry of Jesus-- to address 'heresies' that were creeping into the Church and weakening the Gospel message. John's three letters speak to the church then-- and to the church today!!

The Books of 1 and 2 Peter Episode #114 When it comes to 'amazing experiences' no one can top Simon Peter. He walked with Jesus from early on in his ministry... say untold miracles,,, was the only human ever to 'walk on water'... stood on a mountain top with Moses and Elijah as the Glory of God turned the scene to radiant light and the Voice of God spoke over Jesus as 'my son with whom I am well pleased'. WOW! And then, Peter is the first one to enter the empty tomb and with EYEWITNESS integrity proclaim 'He is not here. He is Risen! However, the books of 1 and 2 Peter are not about the experiences he personally experienced, but the Authority and Trustworthiness of the SCRIPTURE. It is the Scripture that is our foundation of faith. And as an personal eyewitness, Peter says we can Believe it is true.

The Book of JAMES -- Episode #113 One wonders what kind of stories James, as the half brother of Jesus and the probable author of the book of JAMES, might have had. Growing up in the same home as Jesus. Eating at the same table. Sharing the same genealogy (at least on his mother’s side). Was there sibling rivalry? Probably? Did he ever tire of hearing ‘why can’t you be like your big brother’? When did James come to believe that his ‘big brother’ was somebody SPECIAL? All of these questions and a thousand more set the stage for our discussion of one of the most practical and 'down to earth' New Testament books: the Book of JAMES.

The Book of HEBREWS -- Episode #112 Don't we all, as children, dream of finding a treasure map. An old pirate's map leading buried treasure; or the journey of INDIANA JONES to find the Ark of the Covenant; or the brothers searching for the lost History Channel's program-- The Treasure on OAK ISLAND; yes, we all love the thought of discovering an AMAZING TREASURE. So, welcome to the book of HEBREWS. The book of Hebrews is the treasure map that lead us to the GREATEST TREASURE OF ALL: understanding! The mysteries of the Old Testament practices are EXPLAINED in Hebrews. The purpose of the holy relics created in the Old Testament are REALIZED as the author of Hebrews provides the Heavenly meaning. The coloring book of the Old Testament becomes a painted MASTERPIECE through the brush strokes of the book of Hebrews. I hope you gain 'UNDERSTANDING' from this week's podcast 'The Book of Hebrews'.

The Book of PHILEMON -- Episode #111 The subject, tragedy and types of SLAVERY have been an issue for all of human history. In the book of PHILEMON Paul writes an intimate appeal to his friend Philemon. The one who carries this letter to Philemon is none other than an escaped 'slave' (or indentured servant) named Onesimus. In these 25 verses, Paul appeals to his Friend to accept Onesimus as a new brother and an equal co-worker in God's Kingdom. In this Episode, we address the different 'types' of 'slavery... and the Biblical demand that we esteem one another 'equal' in the eyes of God.

The Book of TITUS -- Episode #110 As one of his PASTORAL EPISTLES (letters), the Book of TITUS is written to a trusted companion who traveled and ministered with Paul and whom Paul sent to the Island of Crete-- with a mission to establish churches and teach Christian doctrine. We don't know a great deal about Titus, but we have included in the Scripture the letter Paul wrote to him called the Book of TITUS. In this episode we will examine Titus' difficult challenge in communicating the Gospel to the 'Cretans', and perhaps see how these words written 2000 years ago resonate with the church in this day. The Bible is always relevant... and the Book of Titus gives us insights into the sound doctrine and holy living we need for today!

The Books of 1 and 2 TIMOTHY Wherever the Apostle Paul went on his missionary travels, he was on the lookout, not just for 'converts', but also for men and women who could CARRY ON the Mission and LEAD the Church as it grew. TIMOTHY, a young man from the city of Lystra, became one of his closest confidants and students. Paul spoke of Timothy as his 'co-worker'… 'my son whom I love'…..'my True Son'... and 'my Dear Son'. TIMOTHY is a Big Deal!! . He would ultimately become the Pastor (Bishop) of the thriving and vibrant church in EPHESUS. Paul writes these two letters (often called the Pastoral Letters) to his 'apprentice-'- giving instruction, encouragement and advice to Timothy-- and to a succession of pastors over the last 2000 years. It is Seminary 101 on how to led a church. Welcome to the books of 1 & 2 Timothy.

1 & 2 THESSALONIANS -- Episode #108 Today's study books-- 1 & 2Thessalonians— are written to the church at Thessalonica, a city of some 200,000 people that was on a major Roman road know as the Egnatian Way. Paul and Silas spent approximate 3 months there— preaching and sharing with the city about Jesus. The prominent questions that the Thessalonian Church had concerned the RETURN of JESUS. When would it take place? What were the circumstances? How would Christians know it was the Second Coming? These and many other questions asked by the church of Thessalonica-- and the church of today-- are addressed in these two LETTERS. (Be sure and check out the 'Facebook' pages of the 24 Minute Bible Podcast for helpful resources that will aid in understanding these amazing letters).

The Book of COLOSSIANS -- Episode #107 The KEY CONCEPT of the book of Colossians is the SUPREMACY OF CHRIST! The newly formed church in the city of Colossae was trying to 'blend' the worship of CHRIST the Savior with the pagan traditions of the city and culture's gods. This won't work, Paul said! The work of Christ did away with religious days, observances of special moons, the worship of 'things' rather than the worship of the 'INVISIBLE' Creator God found in Jesus Christ. Even today, we see Christians and culture try to combine pagan holidays with Christian truths. Only in Christ and Christ alone will we find TRUTH and DELIVERANCE from the wicked lifestyles that once held us captive. He is the 'fullness of the Godhead'... our 'Head' and our "Lord'. I believe you will enjoy this lesson on the Book of Colossians!!

The Book of PHILIPPIANS -- Episode #106 One word can easily describe the message of the Book of Philippians: JOY!! Sixteen times in the four short chapters of Philippians, the word 'joy' or 'rejoice' is used to encourage the church and readers through the ages. Paul is in prison while writing this letter to the church at Philippi. There is, however, a JOY that rises above the difficult circumstances of life. 'Rejoice in the Lord always. And again I say REJOICE!! (Phil. 4:4). If Paul can find joy in his hard times, maybe we can too. Enjoy this episode as we look at the message of Philippians!!

The Book of Ephesians -- Episode #105 The City of Ephesus was home to one of the 7 Wonders of the World. That 'Wonder' was Artemis, the goddess of Fertility. A shiny, 90 foot tall STATUE of Artemis stood in the harbor (think 'Statue of Liberty' in New York City) and a gleaming TEMPLE of Artemis (450 feet long and 250 feet wide) graced the downtown area of the City, welcoming the sailors, traders and pilgrims from all over the Mediterranean. A magnificent city... but Ephesus was a dark city as well. Witchcraft, sorcery, black magic, spell books, prostitution and spiritual bondage. Then the gospel comes to Ephesus and everything changes. Today's podcast focuses on Paul and his letter to this beloved church in Ephesus.

The Book of GALATIANS Galatia is not a city but a ‘PROVINCE' or ‘area'. The area was a quiet, backwoods, provincial, sort of place where nothing much changed. Compared to very 'liberal' Corinth, Galatia was CONSERVATIVE. Mainly farmers, retired soldiers and pheasants in small villages. The churches in the area had experienced the GRACE and FREEDOM of Jesus through Paul's preaching, but things had changed! Now, they were being influenced by a group of Jews know as the JUDIAZERS. This group questioned Paul's credentials and message-- encouraging all to adhere to Jewish laws and customs (circumcision, Jewish festival, food regulations, etc.) as a necessary part of their Christianity. The Letter of GALATIA is a response and a rebuttal to their error. Paul knew firsthand the emptiness of legalism-- and he encouraged his young churches NOT to turn back to their futile way of life. We mustn't either!! Study Notes - If the link doesn't work in your podcast player, you can find the Study Notes in the blog at the bottom of the home page at Whittington.org

The Books of 1 and 2 Corinthians-- 29 chapters-- are ‘instructional manuals' on how to function as a CHURCH!! Written around 55AD, we learn so much about HOW the church should behave from the ‘mis-behavior' of the Corinthians. The Gospel Church is NEW to the Greek/Roman world… and has really only been in existence for 20 years. It would be expected that the 'early Christians-- especially new believers from such a corrupt and promiscuous city like Corinth-- would have lots of issue. They did!! . Paul addresses many of those issues... divisions, sexual behavior, pagan practices, lawsuits and the like... in his glorious letters to this new church.

The Book of ROMANS -- Episode #102 PAUL, for all practical purposes, should be thought of as Pastor to an EMPIRE. God calls some uniquely gifted people to be his messengers. Perhaps none was more UNIQUE than Paul. Paul, the Jewish Radical; Paul the Pharisee; Paul the unlikely Convert to Christianity; Paul the Roman Citizen, Paul the credentialed scholar. All of those attributes and many more caused the Lord to call Paul His CHOSEN INSTRUMENT (Acts 9:15). Paul would write 12 books (about one-fourth) of the New Testament. Paul would travel over 10,000 miles on four missionary journeys throughout the Empire. Paul would face prison and beatings and rejections and shipwrecks and betrayals-- but he never retreated from the call as God's Chosen Instrument. Have fun as you listen and comprehend the truths of the book of ROMANS.

The Book of ACTS (Episode #101) The Gospels are the CONTINENTAL DIVIDE of the Bible. They divide the Bible Story into TWO distinct DIVISIONS.. The whole of the Old Testament was 'looking FORWARD' (or uphill, if you will) to the coming Messiah and the Cross of Christ. AFTER the Gospels, everything is looking BACKWARDS at the GOSPELS and the Cross. Another way of saying it— the Old Testament is PREDICTING the coming of the Messiah. The New Testament— beginning with the book of ACTS— is EXPLAINING the Cross. ACTS begins a NEW AGE for the world-- the CHURCH AGE. From Pentecost on, the news about Grace and Forgiveness is being shared across the world with all who will listen. Western (Judeo-Christian) Civilization, and it message of compassion, empowerment and love-- is born.

The Book of JOHN -- Episode #100 The Apostle John-- author of the Gospel of JOHN-- was the closest human being on Earth to the Savior Jesus. He was called 'BELOVED DISCIPLE' or the 'Disciple Whom Jesus Loved' throughout the Gospel John's Gospel can be thought of as an 'insiders tell all' book… not in a bad way but in an INTIMATE and EYEWITNESS sort of Way. John was THERE on the Mount of Transfiguration with Moses and Elijah! John was THERE when Jesus raised Jairus' daughter back to life. John was THERE in the Garden of Gethsemene hearing the sobs and passions as the Son of God prepared for the Cross. His position as a member of the INNER CIRCLE of Disciples gave him a unique and different perspective of Jesus' life and ministry. As the last Gospel written-- John's Gospel reveals a depth of information and understanding about the Plan of Redemption. 'For God so love the world that He sent his on Begotten son.... Jesus'.

The Book of LUKE -- Episode #99 When you think about the book of Luke, let this verse help define the premise of Luke's God-called reason for writing: Luke 1:3 'With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,' The Book of LUKE is the careful, orderly and methodical work of an HISTORIAN. The documentation and details given by Luke fill in many gaps and authenticate the life and details of Jesus. Hope you enjoy this study into Luke's Gospel.

The Book of MARK (Episode #98) Each of the Gospel writers presents a unique vision of the life of Jesus. Not DIFFERENT-- just unique as seen through their eyes. Matthew (the Jewish Tax Collector) presents Jesus as the KING OF THE JEWS. Mark's Gospel account is different. Mark is a young man. A man of action. He shows a 'Jesus' that is always 'on the go'. Mark emphasizes the ACTION SIDE of Jesus-- his miracles, his travels, vanquishing demons and healing the sick. It is WORKS over WORDS with Mark's gospel account of the life death, burial and resurrection of God's Son.
