Let God Speak

As we get older, we all begin to worry more about what the future holds for our life. We think about what things we should do, what things we should avoid, and what principles we should follow so our latter years are happy and comfortable ones. Today our lesson will discuss God’s counsel regarding how we should live out our last years. So have your Bibles ready as we look into the principles that...

In 1913, 26 year old Arthur Momand published a comic strip that went on to be syndicated for the next 25 years. The Comic Strip was based on his experiences trying to live in affluent Nassau County, Long Island NY. The comic strip was entitled “Keeping up with the Joneses.” That phrase is still commonly used today when striving to match your neighbours in spending and social standing. While we may...

We all want to live successful and happy lives, but what defines a successful and happy life in our sin-filled world? Is it a big house, the latest car, or a successful career? Do Christians define success the same way non-Christians do? While many consider Joseph to have been successful (going from prison to the palace and then becoming Egypt’s second in command), John the Baptist's story paints...

It’s a sobering fact that many people in our world are disadvantaged. Children who have lost fathers through war; those who are heavily hit by natural disasters; refugees who have fled famine or conflict; the poor, and the homeless. Does the Bible speak to their circumstances? Did Jesus counsel us to act from a loving heart? Join us as we open the Bible and discuss this important topic. Hosted by:...

Where we invest our money, our heart is sure to follow. This is why Jesus advises us not to store our treasure on earth, but rather in heaven, where our affections, commitments, and loyalties are best directed. Our Bible study today will uncover these truths. Hosted by: Blair Lemke Guests: Gayl Fong & Pr John Kosmeier Download the study notes at this link:  www.3abnaustralia.org.au/resources/d...

Money is very important in life—when we have enough, we can visit beautiful, scenic places in the world; we can enrol in fascinating academic courses; and we can complete big creative projects that people will stand back and admire. But what happens when we don’t have enough? Is going into debt the best option? It’s a very practical (and personal) question. Hosted by: Dr Sven Östring Guests: Dr Er...

When we think that our Godhead (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), is the creator of the universe, the idea of giving Him something seems strange. Psalm 116 said it well: “What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits toward me?” Or, as the New Revised Standard Version puts it, “What shall I return to the Lord for all his bounty to me?” We will Let God Speak through the Bible, and answer that qu...

Today’s lesson discusses tithing. Is tithing simply the price we pay for being a Christian, or is there some deeper principle at the root of this contract? Join with us as we look into what the Scriptures say about tithing.

It is amazing to think that the almighty God of the universe makes contracts and covenants with frail humanity! Some of those covenants were bilateral (involving two parties), and some unilateral (involving one party). Why not grab a Bible and follow along with us as we discover how these covenants are relevant for us today. Hosted by: Pr Clive Nash Guests: Pr John Kosmeier & Pr Uriah St Juste...

Winston Churchill understood the strength and cohesion found within a society that is built upon the family structure. As humans, we develop our characters and learn our values from our families. Each person in the family has responsibilities and obligations, and only when these are fulfilled does the family keep functioning. We are also part of God’s family, and that’s really just a bigger versio...

Our last lesson for this year is called, ‘All things New.’ When Jesus comes back to earth again, He will restore the earth to its perfect Edenic beauty—just as it was before the fall. But does God promise to make ‘all things new’ before Jesus’ second coming? Let’s investigate God making ‘all things new’ throughout the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Hosted by: Steven Groom Guests: Lena Yoon &...

The Bible says that each one of us, individually, will one day appear before God and be judged. Today’s lesson will discuss this judgment process and reveal why this is something we need not fear, but can in fact look forward to.

Many people think the body is simply a vehicle for the soul, but the bible actually teaches that our bodies are temples for the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit alone can grow our spiritual nature and sanctify our lives.

In this lesson we will be looking at some deceptions Satan uses in the world today. We can expect his deceptions to become more intense leading up to Jesus’ return. Until then, the Bible will guide us and prepare us for combatting the devil’s strong delusions. After all, the Bible is the only sure guide when it comes to spiritual truth. If you have a Bible at hand, get it ready and join us. Hosted...

In Mark 9:43-48 Jesus spoke about “hell fire, where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.” Join us as we investigate whether this passage teaches of an eternally burning hellfire that torments forever and ever, or whether it teaches of a lake of fire that has irreversible consequences, totally consuming the wicked, the evil angels, and the devil in the last judgment. Hosted by: Ste...

Jesus told wailing mourners that Jairus’s daughter was not dead, but sleeping—then He raised her from the dead. When Lazarus was dead, Jesus told His disciples that Lazarus sleeps, and He was going to wake him up—in perhaps the most spectacular public miracle of His ministry, Jesus then raised Lazarus from the dead. These stories seem to be solid proof of Jesus teaching death is like a sleep. Ther...

Lesson four defined the Old Testament hope as being resurrected from the grave by Michael. Lesson five showed us Jesus, during His earthly ministry, raising three people from the dead. In today’s lesson we will investigate whether the New Testament hope is different from the Old Testament hope. Please join us as we allow our Bibles to teach us more about life after death. Hosted by: Steven Groom G...

Martin Luther said ‘Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime’. While Jesus’ death on the cross paid the price for our sins, it is His resurrection that reassures us of our coming resurrection and deliverance from death. Like the pristine, springtime leaf, there will come a time when we will arise with glorious new bodies fit to spend ete...

God never intended that any human being should die. Sin and rebellion are responsible for that. Jesus came to this earth, and was born of Mary specifically to die—not for himself though, but for all of us. Today’s study will focus on Christ’s death and how central that is to our existence as humans. Hosted by: Pr Mike Browning Guests: Steven Groom & Gayl Fong Download the study notes at this l...

The desire to live is built into our DNA. Although we do everything we can to extend the length of our lives, eventually we age and die. Intriguingly the Bible records a select group of people who died and were raised back to life. One was raised to eternal life, while others had their earthly mortal lives restored. Today’s study will discuss those who lived, died, and were resurrected prior to Je...

Two things every human will experience: life and death. In today’s lesson we will look at the gift of life, and investigate the alternative to life’s inescapable end. This alternative is documented in the Bible, so open your bible and learn with us.

Discussing human nature—are we naturally destined to die, or do we naturally live forever? Our souls—are they immortal? When God warned Adam and Eve that sin would lead to death, did He really mean it, or was Satan correct in claiming that Adam and Eve would not die?  Today ’s study will explore the Old Testament’s teachings on this topic. Hosted by: Pr Clive Nash Guests: Steven Groom & Alan F...

God created a perfect world without sin, evil, violence, insecurity, sickness, or death. This beautiful reality was quickly tarnished through sin entering the world by Adam and Eve’s disobedience. Thankfully the Creator God had a solution to sin and death—He sent a Promised Seed. We will uncover and learn more about this in today’s Bible study. Hosted by: Blair Lemke Guests: Gayl Fong & Dr All...

It is a tragic fact that death is seen all over the Earth. Whether the leaves that fall from the trees, the flowers that fade in our vases, the cuddly pets who die, or our loved ones who pass away. Our world is full of suffering and unwiped tears. There is, however, hope! God has promised a future world of perfection with no more tears, pain, or death. Today’s study commences a new series looking...

In this series we have been discussing the impact of trials and suffering on our lives. We have looked at people in the Bible who radiated in faith, yet nevertheless faced despair, betrayal, disappointment, loss, injustice, and abuse. We examined how they coped, what they learnt, and most importantly, what we can learn from them. To conclude the series, we will review the trials and suffering Jesu...
