The Story of Joseph

On this program the hosts begin a new series titled The Story of God’s People. They will take a look at great characters and moments in redemptive history, showing how these themes develop throughout the Scriptures and ultimately are resolved in Christ. In this first program, they’ll explore the themes of creation, fall, and redemption as they […]

In the book of Genesis man is created from the dust, and after the fall he is cursed with death and returns back to the dust from which he came. But if you trace this theme further along in Scripture, you’ll discover that the Messiah himself was called to be “laid in the dust of […]

On this edition of the program the hosts are taking a look at Abraham, the man of faith who lies through his teeth in order to save his own skin. He’s the friend of God who impatiently attempts to enact God’s promises by his own works. Too often Christians jump in and out of the […]

On this program the hosts are continuing their series, The Story of God’s People, and this week they’ll begin a two-part exploration of the life and ministry of Moses. Who was Moses and why was he such an important figure in ancient Israel? How do the events in Moses’ life end up foreshadowing the greatest story […]

In the story of Moses, we see God rescuing his people from slavery, atoning for their sin, and feeding them manna in the wilderness. Yet these stories aren’t ends in themselves, but actually point our attention to Jesus Christ, who is the true lamb of God, the true bread of heaven, and our ultimate liberator […]

This week we’re beginning a two-part exploration of the life of David. Israel is in the Promised Land, but the people want a king like all the other nations. While a tall and handsome Saul appears to fit the part, God chooses a young shepherd boy from Bethlehem. What is significant about David’s story, and […]

On this program the hosts are wrapping up their series on The Story of God’s People as they conclude their discussion of the life and ministry of David. How can we reconcile that David was both a man after God’s own heart and also a notorious sinner? Ultimately, the most important aspect of the story of David […]

Paul describes the teaching of the gospel—all that is needed for salvation—as “the whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27). Our kids need that counsel, too. Read through Acts with them! Explain the stories. Help them see the goodness, power, and love of the God who made them and sent his Son to die for them.

Following sound doctrine requires our eyes to remain fixed on Jesus. It also requires that our faith rests in him. Faith opens the door to God’s plan and allows us to accomplish his will for our lives. It does so chiefly because it fosters a heart that yields to the counsel and leading of God. In this way, we remain on the road of truth.

The Prophets are not just abstract apocalyptic literature, included in the canon of Scripture because of their audience or subject matter. No, they—like the rest of Scripture—are the divinely inspired word of God. They are included in the unfolding of God’s redemptive plan and written within the covenant context of God and his people for a theological purpose, reflecting a specific historical and geographical context.

The church today finds itself amidst a revived trend of advocating for hearing God speaking to his people apart from his word. While there are new figures in this movement, the content of their message is hardly original. One can think of late medieval mysticism’s emphasis on a mystical encounter with God […]
