From the Show

The hope of Abraham and everyone else in the gospel was the New Creation. God has promised all who believe in Jesus, eternal life.

–Adriel Sanchez

Are God’s Promises in the Bible for Us Today?

Questions in this Episode

  1. In 1 Samuel 28:12, it says that Saul had someone conjure up Samuel’s spirit from the dead. Did this actually happen?
  2. Should I prevent going to yoga and working out in public if it might cause someone to stumble?
  3. Some folks think that because we shouldn’t be afraid of death that we shouldn’t mourn when a loved one dies. Is this a biblical response?
  4. I read the Bible and it doesn’t really signify what the promises are exactly and how do we connect God’s word with the promises of God?

What the Jews Heard at Pentecost and Why It Matters for Infant Baptism

When Peter stood up at Pentecost, his audience was entirely Jewish. What did they hear when he declared that “the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself” (Acts 2:39)? What they heard would have immediately governed their covenant practice […]

A Congregation of the Passover

One cannot exaggerate just how critical the sequence of events recorded in Chapters 11, 12, and 13 of Exodus is in the history of Israel, the church, and the world. What God does, says, and reveals to his servant Moses and his covenant people still resonate with God’s people today as the Lord […]
