The Bible Workshop

It is time for the seasonal holiday that began as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and for the blessing of the year. Happy Thanksgiving! Unfortunately, the giving of thanks is now often drowned in gravy and fixings. Join us as we put the spotlight on faith this Thanksgiving.

There is an identity crisis going on in the world today. However, there is also an identity crisis going on in the church. Both are sick. Today we workshop a passage in Ephesians that goes right to the core of this and offers a solution that brings clarity.

The church is to be light, but in the midst of a dark world that light is a stark contrast to the norm. That means there is work for the church to do.  We are light as God is light. But how?  Join us as we workshop a passage in Revelation 2 to answer that question.

There’s probably nothing sadder than a wasted a life. But there's a surefire way to avoid that. Join us as we workshop a passage in 1 Kings to discover how to not waste your life!

How do you wear your faith in Jesus Christ? Do you hide it or do you live your faith out loud? Hopefully, today’s workshop will give you a clear answer to these questions, as we study a passage in Philippians 2.  Jesus, reveal Him or conceal Him.

What if Christ had not come? Ponder that question for a moment. What if the greatest gift to humanity had never been given? We consider this question as we workshop John 1:14-18.

Many Christians live their lives as though there were a divider between their church persona and the persona they take out into the world. But here’s the truth: a life in Christ is one life. And God cares about everything in your life. In this episode, we workshop a passage from 2 Chronicles that shows us how God cares about everything we do and say.

What is the purpose of a door? Doors shut out something behind us, or they open something to us. Spiritual "doors" leave behind the past and open to repentance and forgiveness. They can also move us from an old thing to a new thing! Join us as we workshop John 10 to better understand the greatest door.

If you listen closely you can hear weeping in the world. It is heard in war torn countries, in hospitals, in nursing homes, in funeral homes…in families. Regardless of the cause, Christ the Savior is the answer to our tears. This workshop offers, "Great News for a Weeping World."

What do you do when you are dealt a bad hand in life?  Have you ever felt like God was actually against you? Marital problems, sickness, sudden loss and grief, financial ruin or difficulties can all hinder your walk with God — if you allow those things to do that. On this episode of The Bible Workshop we are studying Ruth 1 to learn how to see God in the storm.

Have you ever doubted your faith? Doubted God’s existence? Doubted Jesus as God? Doubted that God actually cares for you?  Doubted the Bible? Oh, the doubts, they just go on. Know this, you are not alone. More importantly, doubt has a cure! Join us for this Doubters Anonymous meeting as we workshop a passage from John 20.

Do you know your purpose in life? Even better, do you know God’s purpose for your life? Do you understand how God's power influences your life? And how about God’s presence? Are you able to sense it? On this episode of The Bible Workshop we explore the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah’s ministry, and how it was influenced by God’s purpose, God’s power and God’s presence.

Tests are a part of life. From our early years in school we learn to accept frequent testing of what we’ve learned. The life of a Christian also comes with tests. Jesus is the Master Teacher and tests are how He teaches us. Join us as we workshop a passage from Matthew 15 to better understand this concept.

We live in a world that is geared toward readiness. Readiness is how we protect ourselves. It’s how we prepare for emergencies and how we prepare for future events. But are you ready for the most important thing? Join us as we workshop a passage from 1 Thessalonians 5 to address that question!

Indecisive people often feel safe "on the fence." In politics, being on the fence is a moderate position. But let’s talk spiritual things (b/c that’s what we do). Spiritually, there is no middle of the road. No middle ground exists in the Bible. That’s the essence of our workshop today with a passage from Matt. 12. Join us!

If you are a sports fan you know the tension of a face-off. Rival teams confronting each other are the highlight of every championship game. But, what do you do when the face-off is between you and you?  When you can't simply settle on the fence. Daily we battle with ourselves to do the will of God. Join us as we workshop a passage in Acts 4 for great inspiration for this challenge.

It is easy for people to get angry and hold grudges. It happens in relationships every day. This approach to people is the basically the essence of cancel culture. Imagine if Jesus embraced cancel culture. One and done. But that is not a characteristic of God. In this episode we are workshopping a passage in Psalm 103 that explains God’s Long fuse, short memory, thick skin and big heart.

We often hear that balance in life is important. And so many of us are often overwhelmed by life's demands. But what does balance mean from a biblical perspective? How do you find it? Should you find it? What should Christians do with this concept? Join us we workshop a passage from Matthew 6 for guidance!

Who doesn’t love an invitation? Generally speaking, no one wants to feel left out. Today we want to talk about the most important invitation you’ll ever receive. Barring all else, you should give careful consideration to this one. Join us as we workshop a passage from Matthew 11.

Can you see God? Or do you find it difficult? Join us for a workshop of Isaiah 6 for some help with this.

Identity theft is a constant threat, but who would be bold enough to try to steal God’s identity? Believe it not it happens all the time -- and it has been happening since the beginning of time. Join us as we workshop a passage in Exodus 34 that defines God’s TRUE identity.

Every day people consume biblical teaching and/or preaching in various ways. But the question is: what happens after that? What do you do with the messages you have heard?  You listen, but do you believe? Join us as we workshop a passage from Mark 6 to explore this topic!

How will you use your power when life presents great opportunities? Will you serve yourself and your lusts? Or will you use your power to benefit others? Join us for a worship of Proverbs 31:1-9 for some sound advice about how to wisely use the power given to you.

Each year, worldwide there are tens of millions of babies born. And each is fearfully and wonderfully made by God, the creator and life-giver. There are no mistakes and every single person is given a purpose.  That means you, too! Check out our workshop of Judges 13 to hear about how you were created for a purpose.

When it comes to holding others accountable, we’ve all heard the response: you can’t judge me, only God can judge. Well, guess what? God does, in fact, judge disobedience. Sooner or later. And it’s no small thing. That’s what we’re talking about today, as we workshop a biblical example in Hosea 5 of God promising his judgment upon His people. Thank God there's always fair warning.
