Let the Bible Speak UP

The Fisherman & His Flute

In the midst of Jesus’ ministry, one of Jesus’ closest friends and allies raises some concerns over the way his ministry is being conducted. As it turns out, we see something remarkably familiar in this ancient story and it teaches a valuable lesson to the church of today.

When the Church Does Its Job

We frequently discuss what happens when things go awry in the church. What happens when a church functions as it should? What does that look like? In this episode, Alex examines Matthew 10 and considers what constitutes a healthy church.

Calling All Hands!

In this episode, we examine Jesus’ observation in Matthew 9 comparing Israel to a herd of lost, helpless sheep, and his surprising solution. This study reveals quite a bit about the modern church’s mission.

What Children Really Need

The challenges of parenting are abundant and obvious, one of those being the struggle to exercise power faithfully. In this episode, Alex explores the miraculous healing of a paralytic and considers what we might learn about parenting from such a story.

Skipping Your Father’s Funeral

The world Satan presents to humanity is disordered. We’re told the trivial is significant, meanwhile the truly significant is discarded in favor of the trivial. In this episode, Alex reveals the most important thing in the world and discusses why Jesus advised one young man to play hooky at his father’s funeral.

God of the Ordinary

For many, there is a dissonance between their faith and “real life”. If we take a close look at the Scriptures, however, we see a God who cares about both the extraordinary and the ordinary. God cares about your life on Sunday on your way to assemble with the church, and He still cares about your life on Tuesday when your car breaks down!

The Sermon on the Mount

In this episode, Alex shares the most effective sermon ever delivered, the famous “Sermon on the Mount”. Jesus here confronts some of the most egregious societal and religious issues in His day in an understandable yet powerful way. Listen carefully.

The Bible & Biblical Archaeology (Part II)

Robert Curry joins Alex over the span of two episodes to discuss some recent significant finds in the world of biblical archaeology. Topics to be covered include Sennacherib’s invasion on Judah, Tel Beit-shemesh, the Praetorium, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. These findings give us deeper insight into the biblical world and provide additional evidence backing the biblical witness.

Your Faith Is Under Attack

Your faith is perhaps the most valuable asset you have, which may be why it is so often under attack by Satan. In this episode, Brian explains the critical importance of guarding your faith and how to do that in a faithless world.
