#277: Jesus Knew 30:52

Play Pause

2d ago30:52

30:52

Jesus says, "One of you will betray me." The Disciples, "Is it me? Is it me?" Jesus knew how his death would come to pass and He tried to prepare his disciples but what they were hoping would happen clouded their judgement to what was going to happen. As we see what is going on around us are we blind, hoping for an outcome different from what the B…

22:01

Andrew and Robert continue on with Psalm 119 covering verses 129-144. Verse 142 says, "Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And thy law is the truth."

#275: Jeremiah's Way vs Urijah's Way 36:21

24d ago36:21

36:21

How can two prophets, who prophesy using the words that God gave them, end up with two vastly different results? Jeremiah, when faced with adversity and threats of death, handled the situation with confidence and Urijah handled his situation with fear. But what about Eljah? When he was threatened by Queen Jezebel he ran in a fear? Andrew and Robert…

Robert and Andrew study from Genesis 3 to tackles these a…

#271: Squandered Blessings 44:04

2M ago44:04

44:04

When you look at the story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife in Genesis 39 and then you look at the title of this episode, Squandered Blessings, you might immediately ask, "Joseph didn't sin; how did he squander his blessing??". Andrew and Robert take a look at this story from a different view point. Even though Joseph ended up spending 3 years in pris…

#270: Partners in Crime 31:28

2M ago31:28

31:28

Sometime a person can allow others to lead them from God... Other times people decide to partner up to go in the complete opposite direction to God. Ahab was one of those who chose to align with someone who would do nothing to strengthen a relationship with God. In 1st Kings 16:31-33 it it indicates that Ahab did worse than those that went before h…

#269: The Price of Not Listening 40:00

3M ago40:00

40:00

Making decision has been difficult for humans for centuries. However, when God gives us directions it *should* makes thing easier. Right? Because of the Bible providing historical accounts of people lives we have the benefit of seeing the high cost when people have not listened to God. Look at all that Lot lost because he and Abram did not follow t…

#267: Israel Asks for a King 31:21

3M ago31:21

31:21

What makes someone, who wants freedom from God so that they can do whatever they please, choose to be ruled by another person? Andrew and Robert read from 1 Samuel 8 and discuss the story of Israel's desire to be ruled by a King even when it was explained to them how badly it would turn out. And, as always, God was right.

#266: Major Consequences 30:39

3M ago30:39

30:39

When we make decisions in life we don't often know how they will turn out what what effects it will have on us or our families later. This applies doubly then we decide to break God's laws, never fully understanding the impact. Would Adam really have eaten the fruit if he knew how many millions of people would suffer?

We know that King Saul eventually turned completely away from God because he felt God was no longer speaking to him. However this change wasn't sudden. Over time he has been moving further and further away from listening for God. When did this change start? Was it always in his nature to do his own thing without checking with God first?

Joshua had much faith in God. When he, Joshua, received instructions for the battle of Jericho he passed them on to the people without making any changes even though they seemed strange at first. March around a city to defeat it? That's not how army's normally fight! But Joshua knew that this wasn't his fight to win, it belonged to God. Send us a t…

#253: In the Mouth of Two or Three Witnesses 40:26

7M ago40:26

40:26

Why does the Bible indicate that we need "two or three witnesses"? Well think of an eyewitness testimony in a court case with you in the jury to decide someone's fate. Wouldn't you want corroboration of a testimony with matching testimony from multiple people? Wouldn't God also want you to be certain when it comes to his work? Andrew and Robert rea…
