The Gospel is not toothless. The Gospel is not weak or defenseless. As Spurgeon said - it is like a 'lion.' What do you do with a lion? You set it loose. In today's text, we'll see an example of this from Acts 17. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What opposition did Paul and the apostles face? B) What was the true (spiritual) source of that opposition? C) What effect does the good news have upon a fallen world? Speaker: Dr. Toby HoltSee <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Turn The World Upside Down

Goliath was a monster. This man was a giant, a beast, and the Devil's own proxy. But God had His own champion. He sent a shepherd from Bethlehem to crush the monster's head. Does that remind you of anybody else? In today's study of 1 Samuel 17, we'll see the Gospel in OT clothing. Questions That We'll Answer: A) In what ways was Goliath a proxy for the serpent? B) What other types or shadows are in this chapter? C) How do Gen. 3, Rev. 13, and 1 Samuel 17 connect?

David, Goliath And The Gospel

Here's something you can take to the bank: As a Christian, your future is brighter than you can imagine. But for now? For now, we face hardships and heartache. For now, we live in 'this present darkness.' That's the tension of the Christian life, isn't it? We live in the 'already, but the not yet.' Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why does all of nature 'groan?' What is the cause? B) How can we be sure of a brighter tomorrow? C) How do we find strength to endure to the end?

The Already But Not Yet

Is worship difficult for you? For many people, it is. For many, it seems difficult or unnatural. Now, why would 'worship' be difficult? Well, we're not used to glorifying someone other than ourselves. So, how do we fix this? It begins with the study of God himself. It begins with an appreciation of His character. The more we understand God, the more natural worship becomes. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What sort of worship was taking place in 2 Chronicles 7? B) What happened the moment the Temple was dedicated? C) How can we grow in our love and commitment to worship? Speaker: Dr. Toby B.

Why We Worship: The Gravity Of His Glory

The Bible is full of promises. Some were made by God, and some were made by men. Man's promises are notoriously flimsy (and often broken). Conversely, the promises of God are iron clad. In today's study, we'll consider one of those promises up close. Questions That We'll Answer: A) What does the term 'covenant' mean? B) What promise did God make to Israel after the Exodus? C) What promises has He made to you and I as believers? Speaker: Dr. Toby HoltSee <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
