- Series: Faith
Part: 2
This teaching from Matthew 14:22-33 chronicles how, after feeding the 5,000, Jesus sends His disciples across the Sea of Galilee by boat while He prays alone on a mountain. When a fierce contrary wind arises in the early morning hours, Jesus comes to them walking on the water. Peter boldly asks to come to Jesus, steps out of the boat in faith, and actually walks on the water toward Him—until he sees the boisterous wind, becomes afraid, begins to sink, and cries out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately catches him, they return to the boat, and the wind ceases. This account illustrates that the Christian life can lead us into storms and requires keeping our eyes on Christ, not on our circumstances. It also shows that Christ saves sinking people the moment they call on Him—while prophetically picturing Israel’s remnant in the Tribulation calling out to their Messiah at His Second Coming.
- Series: The Dawning of the Age of Grace
Part: 5
This episode examines a detailed timeline chart of the Apostle Paul’s ministry (AD 35–67)—produced by the Berean Bible Society—mapping the major events of Acts: Paul’s three apostolic journeys, imprisonments, release, and further work, along with the approximate dates and locations where he wrote his 13 epistles. The chart emphasizes Paul’s unique calling as the apostle to the Gentiles under the dispensation of grace and also highlights the Book of Acts’ threefold turning point, showing God’s shift from Israel’s program under the law to the gospel of grace offered to all nations.
- Series: The Local Church
Part: 5
The Apostle Paul stated we are members of one body and “members one of another.” Our ability to stand and grow in the Christian life is often because of the support and strength of others in the local church who help us and hold us up. In 2 Thessalonians 1, Paul thanks God for the Thessalonian church and boasts about them to other assemblies because their growing faith, abounding love toward each other, and patience and steadfastness amid tribulations—qualities that mark a God-honoring church. This message demonstrates that the true Church is not defined by buildings or outward success, but by believers who are “in Christ,” called according to God’s purpose.

Part: 4
This episode expounds on the Apostle Paul’s solemn charge in 2 Timothy 4:1-5—issued in light of the Judgment Seat of Christ—to “Preach the Word” as the absolute centerpiece and top priority of every local church ministry. Here, Paul commands Timothy to herald the full counsel of God exactly as given, rightly divided for this dispensation of grace—never preaching self, politics, philosophy, or personal ideas. Paul then warns that a time is coming when people will not endure sound doctrine but will promote teachers who tell them what they want to hear. Therefore, the faithful must stay alert, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill their ministry with passion and perseverance to the end.

Part: 3
This lesson declares from passages in 1 Corinthians, chapters 1 and 2, that because Christ is risen, preaching the gospel is not in vain, but essential and full of meaning. The Apostle Paul was sent by Christ “not to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect”—and he came to Corinth determined to know nothing “save Jesus Christ, and him crucified,” preaching in weakness, fear, and trembling so that faith would rest “in the power of God” rather than in human wisdom. The preaching of the Cross—that Christ died for our sins and rose again— is “foolishness” to those who are perishing, but it is “the power of God” to us who are saved.
- Series: Transforming Truths
Part: 5
This episode recounts the story of Naaman, the powerful Syrian army commander who had everything the world could offer—yet was a leper. Pointed to the prophet Elisha to be healed, Naaman arrives with lavish gifts and a letter from the Syrian king, expecting a dramatic, personal healing ceremony, but Elisha simply sends a messenger, instructing Naaman to dip seven times in the muddy Jordan River. Offended by the simplicity of the directions, Naaman’s pride nearly sends him home uncleansed—until he humbles himself and is instantly healed. Leprosy pictures sin in Scripture, and Naaman’s experience shows how pride and self-effort block God’s grace: just as Naaman was cleansed only by simple, obedient faith in God’s word, sinners today are cleansed from sin by faith alone in Christ’s finished work.
- Series: Why You Can Trust the Bible
Part: 5
This message presents powerful archaeological and historical evidence for the Bible’s reliability such as coins minted by the Herods that confirm their names, titles, and reigns exactly as recorded in Matthew, Luke, and Acts. It also highlights the extraordinary manuscript evidence: the works of Jewish historian Josephus (AD 37–100) independently naming Jesus, John the Baptist, Herod, Pilate, and other biblical figures and events, over 5,600 Greek New Testament copies with a short time gap to the originals, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, whose Old Testament texts from the 3rd century BC to 1st century AD are nearly identical to today’s Hebrew Bible. We can fully trust the Bible as God’s unchanging Word—it accurately records history, endures every attack, and declares the gospel of grace.

Part: 4
In this lesson, we explore Jerusalem’s archaeological sites that confirm the Bible’s historical accuracy. Key discoveries include the Garden of Gethsemane, first-century rolling-stone tombs like Joseph of Arimathea’s new tomb, the ornate Caiaphas ossuary, the Pool of Bethesda with its five porches, the Pool of Siloam, King Hezekiah’s 1,750-foot water tunnel and personal clay seal, and the Temple Mount’s southern steps and Huldah Gate (site of the Beautiful Gate where Peter healed the lame man). These ruins and artifacts—many still visible today—match the Bible’s descriptions of places, people, and events exactly, proving God has preserved His Word through history and that we can fully trust the Bible as His reliable, unchanging truth.

Part: 3
In this episode, we continue our walk through the archaeological finds and biblical locations in Israel to see their significance, and which demonstrate the historical reliability of the Scriptures. Here, the focus is on Capernaum's first-century synagogue, nearby Chorazin (with its "Seat of Moses"), En Gedi's caves and wild goats (site of David's mercy toward Saul), and Tel Dan (Jeroboam's golden calf altar). This lesson also covers the Jordan River's biblical crossings, Mount Gilboa/Beth-shan (Saul's death), and Jerusalem's Mount of Olives. The ruins, inscriptions, and locations discussed match Scripture exactly, proving the Bible's trustworthiness archaeologically, geographically, and prophetically.

Part: 2
This lesson launches a tour of Israeli archaeological sites affirming the Bible's reliability, beginning at Caesarea—where, among other happenings, the Apostle Paul was imprisoned and defended his faith, and where Peter visited Cornelius, marking the shift to the Gentiles. It continues to Mount Carmel, Megiddo/Armageddon, Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, and Magdala (Mary Magdalene's hometown). Although we don’t need evidence outside of the Bible to know that the Bible is true, these exact-matching locations, ruins, inscriptions, and landscapes provide powerful archaeological, geographical, and historical proof that you can trust the Bible.
