Baptism Nots

2/27/2023

0 Comments

 
Baptism simply means to immerse. Throughout the Bible, the idea of immersion in water has served to teach us a valuable lesson...and yet we ask...what does baptism have to do with the Christian faith? Why do many who believe in God either not know about or reject the teachings of baptism? Join guest host Bryce Whittaker (the new PSB intern) and "guest" Jonathan as we seek to understand what baptism IS and what it IS NOT.

Peace to Overcome Anxiety

7/12/2021

0 Comments

 
Philippians 4:4-8 says that we are to be anxious for nothing. Several translations say, "Do not be anxious about anything." Some may be getting anxious just thinking about that — guilty about feeling anxious. Let’s look at what the scriptures are really teaching us and how the capacity for anxiety does not mean that you're weak, possessed or unfaithful.

Deconstructing Doubt

7/5/2021

Doubt. It can be a dirty word within a local church community. Doubt can imply weakness or little faith. And no one wants to be weak. No one wants to be accused of little faith. So, what happens when someone has doubts? Sadly, sometimes the fear of vulnerability or the arrogance of self-reliance leads to leaving. And doubt never gets to be addressed, and the cycle goes on. Today's study questions include:
*What exactly is doubt anyway?
**What Scripture can we look to concerning doubt?
***How can we foster a sense of trust and truth within our local church community so that when one of us has doubt, the other can respond appropriately?

The Guilt Gauge

What is the purpose of guilt? What should a Christian do who no longer feels remorse when they sin? What if they can't let go of guilt even when God already has? These questions and more are answered as Wade and Jonathan discuss "The Guilt Gauge."

The "Pavior" of God

3/1/2021

0 Comments

 
When we think of the Gospels, we think of the Savior sent from God, Jesus Christ. The Gospels
reveal that God Himself came in the form of a man to save mankind from their sins. But we often overlook the "Pavior" sent from God, John the Baptist. John is the Pavior  in that he paved the way for Jesus to come into the world. He is the connecting link from the Old Testament and New Testament, the first prophet to come after 400 years of revelatory silence. It may be said that to truly understand and appreciate the life of Jesus, we must first understand the role and work of John as he prepared the way for Christ.

God is Jealous

11/30/2020

0 Comments

 
Why does the Bible say that God is a jealous God?  After all, isn’t jealousy bad?  James 3:16 says "For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice." And yet, God also identifies as jealous. He does not do so discretely or with embarrassment…He is quite emphatic: Deuteronomy 4:24 says, "For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God."

This is one of many Scriptures where God identifies as jealous. It may seem petty that a infinite cosmic being would be jealous of His creation. In fact, many skeptics and nonbelievers point to this attribute as their number one reason to not believe in the Bible. The seeming contradiction is that jealousy is sinful for us but okay for God. What are they missing when they form such a conclusion?

In this episode, we will consider the following questions:
(1) What is jealousy?
(2)How can jealousy be good or righteous?
(3) What is God wanting to communicate to us when He describes Himself as jealous?
(4) Is there a "negative" side to the jealousy of God?
(5) Does God’s jealousy help us?

How could a good God let anyone go to Hell?

10/21/2020

0 Comments

 
There is a reason that the Bible uses the concept of fire in association with Hell. Fire is awful, painful, and terrifying. C.S. Lewis said of hell, “There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than [hell], if it lay in my power.” But he also recognized that hell is a necessary part of God’s goodness and justice.
A skeptic or enemy of Christianity may hear that and ask, "Why would a loving God send anyone to Hell?"
Can a reality of hell be compatible with a good God? Let's study the Bible together.

How Can I Have Peace?

8/26/2019

0 Comments

 
     Peace. It’s what we are all after. How do we get it? Why has it been difficult to obtain in life? Is it really so elusive to all mankind or are there some individuals that have found it? How, indeed, can we have peace?
​     Those who keep the law of God in their hearts and obey it in their actions add peace to their lives. Rather than seeking peace as an end, we should seek to follow Christ. When we do we will find that peace comes as a side effect that we receive from Him.

Reasonable Faith

7/15/2019

0 Comments

 
Where does a Christian begin when trying to explain the supremacy of Christ? Why Christianity over skepticism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam or Secular Humanism? There are four questions that demonstrate that Christianity is the most reasonable worldview. One does not have to be an expert on world religions and philosophies to present an adequate defense of the gospel. If you can answer “YES” to these 4 questions, then Christianity is true and it’s the only view of the world that correctly explains: who we are, where we came from, why we are here, and where are we going.
