BeachCast.TV: Bible Exploration, Apologetics and Church History with Dr. Chase A. Thompson:

Today we discuss the conservative and liberal parties in Jesus' day - which side was He on? More importantly, we focus in on the Greatest and 2nd Greatest commandment, and hear some wisdom on those from pastor John Piper.

In today's reading in Mark 11, we consider why Jesus cursed a fig tree - odd for a variety of reasons, especially considering it was apparently out of season. More importantly, we learn two powerful keys to prayer from Jesus, and also hear about forgiveness from John Newton.

Our focus today is on the call of Abram - why did God choose this man who would try to pass of his wife as his sister? We will also discuss how foolish white supremacy is in light of the ethnic origins of Jesus and Abram.

Today we discuss what would seem to be an oxymoron - the spiritual danger of wealth and privilege. Why does Jesus say it is hard for rich people to enter Heaven, and is it possible to be a Godly person of wealth?

Today we will hear about Jesus casting a demon out of a boy, after His disciples failed in that same task. Later, they ask Him why they failed, and Jesus gives them the key to persistent spiritual victory. What is it? Features some wisdom from spiritual giant Charles Spurgeon.

Today we learn that 'Christ' wasn't the last name of Jesus, but a title that means, "Messiah." What does it mean that Jesus was the Messiah - the chosen/anointed one of God?

Most humans are very concerned with appearance - what we look like, what people think about us, what they say when we aren't around...that sort of thing. It turns out that God isn't that way at all, and Jesus warns us strongly to not be a people who merely give lip service to God. Today we get wisdom on that from Jesus in Mark 7 and also John "Amazing Grace" Newton.

Today we read Mark 7, and discuss the humanity and deity of Jesus, and how the disciples could not see who Jesus was early on because of the hardness of their hearts. Are we also hard-hearted, or walking in faith? We also hear some words of encouragement from pastor Tony Evans.

Today we discuss the literally worst thing that has ever happened in recorded history - and how God inserted a lovely bit of good news into the midst of this horrible news. We will hear from Jonathan Edwards, John Newton, and John Piper today as well, discussing the Fall of Man.

Today we are reading Genesis 1 and discussing the many important truths that come out of the fact that humans are made in the Image of God. We also receive some wisdom from John Piper as to how we should treat each other, given that we are made in God's Image.

Today we discuss the curious incident between Jesus and the superhumanly powerful Gerasene demoniac. Why do so many pigs have to die in this amazing encounter? We also hear some wisdom from Tim Keller on this question.

Today we are discussing how to hear the Word of God fruitfully and effectively, and our guest spiritual giant is Charles Spurgeon.

Today we discuss the possibility of being angry and not sinning, and the fact that Jesus got angry more than once. What could possibly cause one so gentle as Jesus to become angry?

Today we read Mark 2, and discuss the amazing incident where Jesus first forgives a desperately ill man, rather than healing him first. Why would Jesus do such an audacious thing?

NEW Podcast - Bible 2021, Ten minutes of truth a day. We will dive into a chapter a day of God's Word, read it together, hear some wisdom from past and present spiritual giants and learn more about the Bible. Join us for a great year in the Word!

Today we finish reading through the Bible for 2020, which brings up an important question: How does the Bible end? As we look at Revelation 22, the last chapter of the Bible, we see 5 important parts of the ending of the Bible, including: Hope, division, warning, reward and return! Join us as we discuss the end of the Bible, and prepare for Bible2021!

Two main topics today: Why was the Bible written (and can people get saved by Jesus simply through reading the Bible?) + Who is the bride of Christ, according to Revelation 21 - the answer might surprise you!

Popular culture depicts Satan as a happy inhabitant and ruler of Hell, with his job being the torment of bad humans who have been sent there. Is that true at all? Also: Did the Romans take Jesus' life on Good Friday?

When Jesus first came to the earth, He was born in humble circumstances, and lived a life of meekness and humility, riding on a humble donkey into Jerusalem before He was killed. Will His Second Coming be like this? Surprisingly, No!

John 17 features the longest prayer of Jesus recorded in the Bible. In that prayer, Jesus prays that His followers would enjoy the same kind of unity with each other that Jesus enjoys with His Father. He also prays for God the Father to protect the followers of Jesus by "His name." What does it mean for God to protect us by His name?

Two topics today: #1 - How the reliability of the Bible is demonstrated in the skeptical response of the disciples to Jesus. Also: How can we have the peace that Jesus promises us in John 16:33?

In John 15, Jesus tells His disciples if they do this one thing, they will be very fruitful in their lives, but if they don't, they will be unable to do ANYTHING. Also: Ten Christmas myths busted by the Bible. (Jesus was not born in an Inn!)

Many are offended at the idea that one religion has the corner on truth, salvation, or the afterlife. Claims of exclusivity can seem prideful and arrogant, and yet Jesus unquestionably claimed that He was the ONLY way to Heaven. What are the implications of this radical claim?

144,000 is a number with special significance to many sects and cults and offshoots of Christianity. Does the Bible teach, as Jehovah's Witnesses claim, that only 144,000 people will go to Heaven with Jesus? (No!) Also: Why was Jesus' command to His disciples to love each other a new command?
