Last week, we analyzed religious antisemitism—the hatred of Jewish people for their religious practices and beliefs. This week, we’re taking a look at another evil form of Jewish hatred: racial antisemitism. Unlike religious persecution, which theoretically offers an escape through conversion, racial discrimination against the Jewish people permits no escape. Chris shares an excellent explanation of this deadly sin and …
For thousands of years, humanity has fallen prey to a deadly sin: antisemitism. This hatred of the Jewish people takes many forms. This week, we’ll study religious antisemitism, which many carry out because they believe Jewish practices and beliefs prevent peace and progress. This form has reared its ugly head in dramatic ways throughout history—Greek King Antiochus IV’s desecration of …
What is a Christian’s responsibility? Should we sit back idly as we await Jesus’ return, or should we pursue the Lord in our every moment? The apostle Paul answers this question in his letter to the Colossians in the conclusion of our series on this epistle. Yes, we are saved by grace through faith, not by works. But God wants …
Surrounded by a litany of beliefs about the world, the Colossian believers needed a clear understanding of God’s Word. So, the apostle Paul provided it by writing an epistle filled with doctrine for them. Over the last two weeks, we’ve studied how Paul taught about the supremacy of Jesus Christ and the danger of false teaching. This week, in part …
The apostle Paul’s message to the Colossians rings true for Christians even today: Beware of false teaching! Surrounded by a plethora of philosophies amidst a pagan world, the Colossian believers were susceptible to being led away from the pure truths of God’s Word and the authority Jesus Christ deserved in their lives. In part 2 of our series on the …
The Day of the Lord, the “man of lawlessness,” and widespread apostasy—there’s a lot going on in 2 Thessalonians! The apostle Paul had much to teach the Thessalonian church, but he offered great hope as he revealed God’s prophetic Word to them. After studying the false teaching influencing the Thessalonian believers on last week’s broadcast, we conclude our 3-part series …
The Thessalonians in Paul’s day were confused and troubled. Many of them had been led astray by false teachers who taught that the great and terrible Day of the Lord had already come. But since our understanding of God’s Word affects how we live, Paul knew he needed to teach the Thessalonians correct doctrine right away! In part 2 of …
You may have heard it said that as much as one-third of the Bible is prophecy. But this week, Chris challenges us to consider that the entire Bible is actually prophecy! We open a 3-week study on the book of 2 Thessalonians by taking a look at how persevering through persecution ties to prophecy. Paul begins his second epistle to …
This week’s program concludes our three-part series on the armor of God. Last week we reviewed each piece of armor God has offered so we can equip ourselves for spiritual warfare. Now we’re taking a look at the next steps He instructed us to take in Ephesians 6:18. Through prayer and petitions to God and by being alert in the …
This week, we continue our series on the armor of God. Chris will take each piece and explain the reason it is vital to our Christian walk. The armor belongs to God but it is our responsibility to put it on. In Ephesians 6:14-17, Paul speaks of the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, sandals of the gospel of …
