Rex's Bible Minute

Have you ever wondered why we have pastors? What is a virtue? How would things look if the church acted the way it should? And what does that look like?

What does it mean to have a family? And the bigger follow up, what does it mean to be in God's family? And can I trust that little voice in my head? We dig into these and more as we finish chapter 3 of Paul's letter we call Ephesians.

Missed last week, 2:11-22. Check out Tollesboro Christian Church on YouTube or tollesborochristain.org to heard guest speaker Jake Ratliff. This week we continue on with a section I like to think of as Paul's ADD moment.

Are you living the way God wants you to? How can you tell? Are we zombies? We looking into these questions and more on this week's episode of Rex's Bible Minute.

How can you tell if your church is healthy? What should it be doing? How does Jesus use the church to accomplish God's plan. All that and more in week three of our study on Ephesians.

We take a look at the opening to Paul's letter to the churches in Asia Minor. This section contains Paul's prayer of thankfulness for what Jesus has done for us. Most of it is just one sentence, but by the end of it, you should be able to sing a similar song.

Did Paul really write the letter to the Ephesians? Was it even written to the church in Ephesus? Can we trust it? We answer these questions as we kick off our study of Ephesians.

Christians seem to be missing a huge opportunity to show love to the world around them. This week I explain why I think every Christian should be wearing masks in public and following social distance guidelines, and it has nothing to do with whether masks work or not, and everything to do with showing your neighbors and strangers you care. My fear is that Christians are only harming their reputati...

Do Christians have to do what their governments tell them to do? Even if it's unfair? or wrong? or painful? Taken from the July 5th service at Tollesboro Christian Church, this week I dig into how and why Jesus and his apostles answered those questions.  A microphone failure occurs a few minutes into the podcast. It quickly gets rectified, but due to the live aspect of the recording it was le...

A Christian is a follower of Christ, which means they should strive to do as Jesus did. This week I discuss how Jesus handled racism, something he encountered often even among his closest friends.   Nothing in this video is meant to offend anyone, any more than the message of Christ will offend. I am more than happy to discuss any issues directly. I can be reached at rexsbibleminute@gmail.com

Why do so many new converts to Christianity fall away so quickly? Can we do anything about it? Is it our fault? I take a stab at these questions in this week's Rex's Bible Minute.   I can be contacted at rexsbibleminute@gmail.com

Chances are, if you're a Christian or have been in the western Christian sphere of influence you've probably been told Christians aren't supposed to be afraid. In this video I explain why Jesus said we should absolutely be afraid (fear was his idea after all.)   Rex's Bible Minute is a weekly video where I discuss Jesus, the Bible, Christianity, and anything else I find interesting or us...
