Focus On The Bible

Does the gospel change from time to time? No. Let's talk about why not...

The Bible contains a guarantee of everlasting life for all who believe the gospel. But what do I do if I'm still not confident I'm saved? Let's tackle the nuances of this issue by focusing on the Bible...

Is there anything that we need to know outside of what the Bible shows us? How can someone trust Christ based on limited information? Let's talk about these and similar questions as we focus on the Bible.

Most people are for or against supporting Israel based on whether they think Israel deserves it. But the Bible says that God will restore Israel for his name's sake -- not based on what is deserved. It also gives us two ways to support Israel as followers of Christ.

Repent is a great word, and a biblical one. But there's a problem with our understanding of it. Let's talk about what repent means, what it doesn't mean, and how we got so confused about it.

Two testaments. 66 books. 40+ authors. Not a single time someone is told to pray a prayer to be saved into eternal life. There's nothing wrong with praying, but it's not praying that saves us.

Most people only know of 10 commandments...But the Bible is actually full of them. - Maintain good works (Titus 3:8) - Love one another (John 15:12) - Paint your doorposts with the blood of a one-year-old male lamb (Exodus 12:3-7) But which ones apply to you, and what conditions do you need to meet to be saved?

This episode examines the Biblical principle of honoring the calling of God -- not just in our own lives, but in the lives of others too.

In this episode, Josiah shares four basic areas of consideration that will help you understand the Bible more deeply.

Josiah shares aspects of his testimony to provide insight on spiritual growth and ministry that *every* Christian should know.

If Jesus paid for all of my sins, and I'm secure in him, why should I confess my sin or apologize to God when I mess up? This episode tackles this question straight out of 1 John 1.

Eternal security. Fellowship. Judgment. Joy. Confession. All these issues and more can be clearly understood when we rightly divide this one issue: position v. practice.

What does it mean when the Bible says it's "impossible to renew" some people to repentance? Let's talk about it!
