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

What can we learn from the prayers of David - who seemed to be in constant trouble - that will help our own prayer life to be richer and more fruitful?

Today we hear the story of Demas, one of Paul's co-workers that is mentioned multiple times in Scripture - and somebody who abandoned Paul and appears to have turned his back on the faith. What kind love did Demas struggle with which caused him to run away from God? That same love can be equally or more dangerous for us!

Who are the mysterious enemies of Moses named Jannes and Jambres that Paul mentions in 2nd Timothy? Also: What does Paul says the signs of last days will be?

Paul tells Timothy to fan into flame the gift of God in his life - how can WE do this - how can we rekindle God's spiritual gifting in our lives?

How do we fight the good fight of the faith - does this mean fighting with other people, engaging in spiritual warfare, or something entirely different?

Why does God allow wicked people to prosper and do well? In today's episode, we consider how the Psalmist Asaph almost lost his faith when he saw bad people living good lives- until he stepped into the sanctuary to worship God and His perspective was completely changed.

Multiple times in the Psalms- almost 50 - God is declared to be our refuge - a shelter from trouble and distress. How then can it be that our refuge from trouble can also be the source of our troubles and distresses?!

Two big topics today, that we treat with an introductory overview. How does the Bible command that men treat women? The answer is very practical and important to understand. Also: Did Jesus make wine with alcohol? Are Christians forbidden from drinking any alcohol?

It turns out that demons don't teach the kinds of things we would expect them to...but are much more subtle. Also - is there any danger in Christians embracing conspiracy theories and QAnon?

You know the church isn't a building, but a people. Today, we read how the church is also the household of God and a pillar and foundation of truth in the world. What does that mean for our calling as the people of God?

In 2nd Timothy 2, Paul tells women to be quiet and dress modestly. Do such commands indicate the Paul was sexist, or the Bible was sexist? I don't believe so, and today, by looking at the many commands to MEN in the Bible, we make the case that the Bible isn't sexist at all, but outlining what is pleasing to God.

Today we list out at least ten biblical reasons why Jesus came from Heaven to earth and also discuss the humility of Paul. + Bonus trivia: Who wrote the SECOND most books in the Bible after Paul?

Today we discuss how God's goodness sustains and upholds us just like a rich and nutritious meal. Also - how and why we should preach truth to ourselves.

In Psalm 59, David is facing a group of agents of the king who want to kill him. Even though we don't normally face that exact situation, we can learn much from how David spiritually responded to being in a crisis.

Paul commands Christians to examine themselves and test themselves to see if they are actually in the faith, rather than Christians in name only. What sort of test is he talking about, and how can somebody know whether they are genuinely saved by Jesus?

Jesus tells the thief on the cross, "Today you will be with Me in Paradise," So - where is Paradise and what is Paradise, and why was Paul caught up to Paradise? Also = the power of weakness and where is the third Heavens?

The Bible teaches that Satan disguises himself as an angel of light- what does this mean - is Satan even an angel? We also learn in today's passage that followers of Satan can similarly disguise themselves AND we discuss what real spiritual maturity and leadership looks like.

Today we discuss spiritual warfare and how to NOT fight with your basic human impulses. Spiritual warfare: The Bible teaches we do NOT wrestle against humans, but does that mean we always are fighting against evil spirits in spiritual warfare...or, is spiritual warfare more about HOW a Christian engages?

Giving is a controversial Bible teaching - today we discuss how God blesses those who give...is giving a way to get rich? Also: why pastors and leaders should never compel people to give.

David finds himself in a terrible situation in Psalm 55 - captured by his arch enemies, and held in their capital city. He claims, however, that He will trust God and NOT be afraid. How can we do the same - trust God and not fear in seemingly hopeless situations?

What if we've done something really, really horrible - the kind of thing that no human would ever approve of, much less God. How do we turn back to God? How do we ask His forgiveness? Today, in Psalms 51, we see how a murderer sought forgiveness from God.

Today we discuss what the Bible teaches about giving - how giving under compulsion is not allowed - and also discuss the difference between tithing and giving. Does the New Testament command Christians to tithe?

Today we discuss how God uses regular old humans to comfort the downcast + a life or death difference between Godly sorrow and worldly sorrow. One leads to life and salvation, the other leads to death!

Today's passage has one of the most quoted Scriptural commands: Do not be unequally yoked. But what does Paul mean here? Is he forbidding marriage? Business partnership? Today we explore this command and also discuss the best four word description of a Christian.
