Well, I always knew this day would come. It is with deep sadness that I have to announce that our beloved pastor of the past eight years, Pastor Joshua is leaving us. Join me for a real talk as I process all the emotions. Maybe this will be helpful to you if you are in this season, or bookmark it for the future in case your church finds itself in this situation. It's raw, it's emotional, but it's...

Alright, Walkies. Here is the long overdue conclusion to our study of 1 John, with a double dose from chapters 4 & 5.  I did have to trim about 20 minutes off the final recording just to keep it a manageable length, so I left a little bit on the table, but a good part of on of the trims is a bonus episode I am thinking about for the summer hiatus months. These two final chapters are all about...

OK, chapter 3 is finally here. My sincere apologies again for being a week late. I'm determined to get us back on track. We see in this chapter that John is echoing the words of Jesus he heard spoken as a young follower. So when his audience asks "what gospel do we follow," John can point them back to the source, Jesus himself.  We revisit some familiar themes such as abiding, the old/new commandm...

So we find ourselves crossing over the half way point of 1 John today as we begin chapter 3. We're actually reading from 1 John 2:28-29, then all of chapter 3, so don't miss those first two verses!! Do you have your colored pens and highlighters ready? Your text should be awash with color if you are doing this exercise of marking repeated words, phrases and ideas.  We can easily divide this weeks...

So this week, the apostle John very tenderly yet very earnestly writes to his audience with discussion on some heavy weight contenders for theological doctrines: our advocate in Jesus, tests of obedience and love, levels of spiritual growth, temptations from the world, and false teachers, whom John comes right out and calls antichrists.  I think as these "tests" begin to take shape, we also see ho...

We are continuing out study of John's longer epistle this week as we read chapter 2. Your reading time is right around 4 1\2 minutes. Last week, we picked up a thread where John begins to indentify contrasts between people who walk in the light of Christ, and those who walk in darkness.  John will continue to blend this thread into the tapestry this week, as he points out more differences in these...

Well, my apologies for being a week late with this episode. You'll have to listen for my explanation, and I do hope you will forgive me, you know, in the spirit of fellowship. John opens his sermon this week with a basic fundamental teaching of Christian doctrine. This is one we don't have any wiggle room on: Jesus is fully God and fully man. Can we explain it perfectly? Nope. Do we understand it...

If you're just now joining us because you were looking for a Bible Study podcast on 1-2-3 John, you're in the right place, and we are so thankful you are here. But...let me give you a little heads up - we started our study on John's Epistles a little unconventionally,  and we've already covered 3rd John and 2nd John respectively. So it may be worth your while to go back and listen to our introduct...

Ahhhh, 2nd John...a quick introduction to the big letter of 1st John. If it were written today, it might include a list of bullet points like this: TRUTH LOVE WARNING ABOUT FALSE TEACHERS THE WRONG AND RIGHT KIND OF FELLOWSHIP INTRODUCTION TO THE CONCEPT OF "ABIDING" John lays the foundation with these themes and gives us a little sampling of what's coming in his longer letter, but this letter is...

We're back with our prepisode for our 2nd week in the Johannine Epistiles. This week we are looking specifically at 2nd John. What do you notice that is similar to 3rd John that we read last week? What do you notice that is different? If we said the overall theme last week is TRUTH...what do you think the overall theme this week is? For a little extra for no charge, follow She Walks Worthy Podcast...

Welcome to a brand new study this week as we embark of a 7 week study of the Epistles of John....and this week, we begin with THIRD JOHN.  That's right, we begin with the most personal and shortest of the three letters, but it's only short in length.  It's long in gospel TRUTH. In fact, "TRUTH" is the main theme of the letter, as John loves in TRUTH, Gaius walks in TRUTH, believing brothers work f...

Welcome Back!  Or just Welcome Welcome if you're new around here. We are back from our extended Spring Break with a brand new study of the New Testament books of 1-2-3 John. I am super excited to introduce these letters to you today where the Apostle John takes on false teachers who were infiltrating the churches around Ephesus where John was now living. These false teachers were confusing believe...

Hey Walkies. It's the moment you've all been waiting for. The announcement for our Spring/Summer Bible Study is here. Annnndddd...you'll have to listen to the episode, I'm not gonna give it away here!!  I'll catch you up on what I've been doing during our little break, you'll hear what we will be studying, and I'll give you an outline for what it's going to look like calendar-wise.  Also, here's y...

Hey Hey Walkies! It's Bonus Episode time. This is one that I have had on the back burner for a while now. We first talked about it way back in Episode 41, where we see Abraham preparing a meal to serve to the LORD and two angels who come to visit. It was an intimate time of fellowship and connection, and I mentioned how often we see Jesus use this tool of sharing a meal in the gospels to do the sa...

Alright, after finishing the Book of Daniel on the last episode, here is a look ahead to what you can expect in April and the near future. You can send your "Ask the Pastor" questions to me at penniq@shewalksworthy.com, or https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61566142198837 SheWalksWorthyPodcast (@shewalksworthypodcast) • Instagram photos and videos Follow along for Women's Bible Study or Bible...

Well here we are today. finishing another book of the Bible together. Today we come to the conclusion of Daniel, where the final vision has Michael the Archangel rising up to defend and deliver the saints of God during the tribulation, where Daniel gets a clear vision, more clear than anyone else in the Old Testament, of resurrection life, where the wise will shine and reflect the glorious light o...

This is it! The final prepisode for the Book of Daniel. This one makes me a little sad...I wish we had just a little bit more! For starters this week, please look up the word "ESCHATOLOGY." This may or may not be a word you are familiar with, but as students of the Bible, we should be familiar with this good Bible word.  If you continue to study the Bible and dig into commentaries or Seminary disc...

We are winding down to the end of the Book of Daniel as we come to the penultimate chapter. This is an EPIC chapter where the Book of Truth is opened and Daniel is given very specific prophecy of what will happen to his people in the latter days. I've done a lot of the hard work for you in tracing the ancient history and filling in names and kingdoms with more specific details than simply "King of...

We are winding down another book of the Bible as we come to the next to last chapter of the Book of Daniel this week. This chapter sorta has bragging rights to the most detailed section of prophecy in all of the Bible. The chapter covers a time-span of about 375 years, and vs 1-35 contain some 135 prophecies that have been fulfilled!  Now, I will admit it can seem a little bulky if you don't know...

What a fascinating chapter this week in our Women's Bible Study. Daniel Chapter 10 is one that can easily be skimmed over, or even skipped over, as its short narrative is a prelude to chapters 11 and 12. What a terrible and sad mistake this would be. Though it be short, it is deep and beautiful.  In this episode, we talk about some of the interpretative differences which challenge us...what was Da...

It's pretty light reading this week as we prepare for the next couple of weeks as we wrap up the Book of Daniel. Daniel receives another round of heavenly visitors who explain the things taking place in the heavenly space that human eyes cannot see, in other words, spiritual warfare. It's going on right in the very context of chapter 10, and it will continue until the very end when the last enemy...

Judah's time in exile is almost over according to the word of the Lord to Jeremiah. As Daniel is reading Jeremiah's scroll, he comes across the passage where God tells Jeremiah that the people of Judah will serve the king of Babylon for 70 years. Now since Daniel is also a student of the Torah, he also knows that the final phase of judgement (namely, exile) doesn't end until there is repentance an...

This is our prepisode for Daniel chapter 9, with hints and reading tips to help make your study more profitable.  The bulk of our reading is going to be Daniel's prayer in vs 4-19. Daniel makes use of several repeated themes that will be helpful to take note of. Daniel pleads for mercy for his people, but not based on their performance or righteousness. What is Daniel's basis for God's mercy? Gabr...

A history lover's dream. That's what Daniel 8 is. And while the setting is a backdrop of ancient world history, God has written it into his Bigger Story. As Cyrus' Medo-Persian Empire takes shape as the greatest superpower the world had known up to that point, God's story is BIGGER than that. As epic as Alexander the Great's story is, God's story is BIGGER. As big as Antiochus Epiphanes thought he...

OK, so this is a little extra for no charge. This is a re-release which I think will be a helpful tool for Daniel Chapter 8, which partly covers the time frame of the Intertestamental Period. Right up front, I will tell you that I mispronounce the word "Intertestamental" not once...not twice...but through the entire episode. (insert facepalm emoji!!) So, yes, I am aware of it, but there's nothing...
