The Bible for Breakfast with Pastor Marc

Todaywe ask whether you've truly received the grace that came through the sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross for your sins. We look at the parable of the unforgiving servant and ask if we, like him, minimze the grace of God by demanding payment from others. Other Scritpure includes Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:13 and Matthew 6:12-14

To experience the forgiveness of God we need to: 1. Completely Confess 2. Completely Repent 3. Rest in Christ's Complete Work 4. Live Completely Free

A devotional looking at the parables of the lost sheep, coin and son and asking if we think that we are better than the "sinners". Are we scandalized by the grace of God? Do we think that we have earned the right to be saved while others aren't good enough to experience God's grace? The focus of today's episode is on the older brother to the prodigal son.

Today we're continuing our look at Psalm 103 and discovering how forgiveness is tied directly to our salvation and how it should spur us to spontaneous praise. When we realize just how great we've been forgiven in Christ (Romans 8:1-2, 37-39), we can begin to forgive others. If we can't forgive, it may be an indication that we've never truly received God's forgiveness.

A devotional focused on how God's love is the foundation of our forgiveness. To receive His love expressed in His forgiveness, we need to recognize our sin in repentance and accept His free gift of grace. Then, we can extend grace to others and forgive those that don't deserve it. Passages include Exodus 34:6-7; Hebrews 9:22; 10:1-4; 9:26-28a; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 3:23-24 and 5:8; an...

A devotional looking at the appearances of the preincarnate Jesus in the Old Testament and how He also apeared to Amos. Passages include Amos 4:11; Genesis 18:1-3, 22, and 33; 19:24, and 22:1-3, 11-12 and 15-18; ; Exodus 3:2-6; Deuteronomy 31:14-15 and 23; Judges 2:1-5 and 20-21; and 1 Samuel 3:1, 7, 10 and 21.

A look at Amos 8:1-12 and how the Lord would pour out His wrath by bringing a famine of hearing the Word of the Lord. Today we ask the question of whether we impose this same punishment on ourselves by not listening to the Word of God.

A devotional asking if you will stand on God's Word when faced with persecution. Supporting passages include Matthew 28:18-20 and 1 Peter 3:15-16

Do you share the Gospel with "sinners" out of compassion or judgment? Does it make you happy to think that the wicked will suffer eternal torment? Or, does it break you before God as you plead for their souls to be saved? Supporting passages include Mark 1:15; Matthew 23:37; Ezekiel 33:11; and 2 Peter 3:9

A lecture covering the Book of Numbers and how it sheds light on our own failure to follow God's leadership.

A look at Genesis 6:5 and discussion of whether God's assesment of the human heart applies to all mankind. Are we born innocent or guilty before a Holy God? Are we able to earn our place in heaven by our good works, or are we to be condemned without hope? Can we be redeemed? Supporting passages include Genesis 8:21; Jeremiah 17:9-10; Ecclesiastes 9:3; Psalm 51:1-5; Romans 3:23-24; 1 John 1:8-10; E...

A devotional looking at how the demonic kingdom works to corrupt God's perfect plan and how God overcomes it. We look at Genesis chapters 1, 3, and 6 to see how God's creation was "good" and "very" good when creatures were created according to their kind. We also look at Jude 6-10 and 2 Peter 2:4-10 along with 1 Enoch 6-7 to see how the fallen "Sons of God" co...

A look at the giants in the Bible and where they came from. This is the second part of our deep dive of Genesis 6:1-9. Supporting passages include Genesis 15:17-21; Numbers 13:26-33; Deuteronomy 1:28; 2:1-12, 20-23; 3:11; 9:2; Joshua 11:21-22; 14:12; 15:14; 1 Samuel 17:4-7 and 1 Chronicles 20:4-8.

A look at the difficult passage of Genesis 6:1-9 and how we can make sense of it. We look at the phrase "sons of God" and see how the Bible itself gives us its meaning. Other passages looked at include Job 1:6; 2:1; and 38:7; and Psalms 29:1 and 89:7.

A lecture covering the Book of Leviticus and its importance in understanding Jesus' sacrificial death.
