The Analytical Preacher - Bible Discussions For The Modern World

The Bible speaks early and often about grace and forgiveness yet it also stresses that actions have consequences and that societies need legal structures to exist. In handling the issue of a fallen brother or sister, then, it is important that we take the guidance from all of those scriptural concepts into account. In this podcast, we discuss those concepts and use some real world examples to help us understand how to apply them.

Many Christians answer the question "are you going to heaven" with "I hope so". But according to scripture, we can know our eternal fate with certainty. It isn't an arrogance on the part of the believer that drives that certainty but the power of Christ and the faithfulness of God. In this podcast, we explore the Bible verses that teach us about this certainty. #Bible #Salvation #eternallife

The Bible says that it is a living and active, two-edged sword. In part this means that its scriptures are relevant to every person in every situation at all times down through history. And it also means that it has a way of melting away our excuses and exposing our conscience to God's convicting power. In this podcast, we examine Hebrews 4:12 in context to allow the Bible to explain for itself what it means that it is that living and active sword. #bible

Though He is known for His love, compassion and servant's heart, Jesus did get angry and even aggressively confronted folks a few times. So, why did He treat those people differently? And what lesson are we to take from this as Christ followers today?

The Apostle Paul writes to us in the Bible that we should examine ourselves before we take communion so that we will not take it in an unworthy manner.
