The Bible Workshop

A great job can be fulfilling, but add a great benefits package to that and you have a winner! Now consider your spiritual life. Do benefits come along with a life of faith? Absolutely! Join us as we workshop a passage in 1 Peter 1 to learn more about God's benefits package.

Conflict surrounds us; it exists between nations, political parties, religions, marriages and families. But conflict does not have to be harmful. Believe it or not, there is such a thing as healthy conflict. We explore this concept as we workshop a passage from Joshua 22. In Joshua, we see how living in truth and love resolves differences in a healthy way.

How will you respond when your faith is questioned? When it is put on trial? In this episode we talk about this — how to keep your conscience clear before both God and man -- as we workshop Acts 24:1-9.

How much love are you capable of? Is your capacity endless, or do you sometimes max out on love?  Now consider God’s love. That is the love being discussed in this workshop. Join as we take a look at a seldom talked about Old Testament prophet named Hosea. His love story is not for the faint of heart!

Our culture loves its extremes. They are a sign of great challenge and great strength. But this week we talk about the greatest of all extremes: extreme faith. How do you get it? And what does it actually require of you? Join us for this episode of The Bible Workshop, where we mine through Exodus 33 for some great jewels about the deepest kind of faith. 

The Bible is filled with God’s promises, but how does God actually keep those promises? This is a critical question because it defines our assumptions about God. Sometimes—maybe often—Christians go into faith with improper assumptions. Join us as we workshop Isaiah 40:31 to better understand how God keeps his promises.                                                                                ...

One of the basic components of faith is surrender. And each day of our lives we are surrendering; some surrenders are big and some are small but surrender always involves letting go and giving the control back to God. Do you struggle with this? You are not alone. Join us as we workshop a passage from Mark 14 to see how to tackle this part of the faith walk. 

Can a good, well-intentioned thing go bad? Are you doing things well past their expiration date?  These questions become particularly significant in light of God's will. That’s what we’re talking about this episode and we've titled it, "Good Snakes Gone Bad." Join us as we workshop a passage from 2 Kings 18.

What do you most desire? The world--and everything it offers--can often distort that answer. Today on the Bible Workshop we are workshopping a passage in Luke 16 which shows us that it is imperative for us to not neglect our soul. A glimpse of eternity can make all the difference in redirecting your focus.

What you put your confidence in makes all the difference in the type of life you will live. So, what are you putting your confidence in—and is it moving you forward or turning you back? Join us as we workshop Hebrews 3:1-6.

There’s no such thing as an accident —for the Christian. So how should we respond when “bad things” happen? If you’ve ever been tempted to question God’s goodness, this episode is for you. Join us as we workshop Psalm 39 for encouragement in the midst of trouble.

Where is God when you are failing? Or when the thing you prayed about isn't happening? Believe it or not, these are the times when our faith must go into overdrive. We should be unflinchingly faithful when it seems we've lost our way. But how? In this episode we workshop a passage in Romans 4 that reminds God's people of a great testimony to inspire them.

Christians are spiritual athletes running the race that has been set before them. Like an athlete, the difficulties and challenges build the strength to endure. Join us as we workshop Hebrews 12:1-3 to understand endurance as a lifestyle.

Mature faith isn't logical or practical. It is God-centered and therefore capable of things we couldn't even conceive. Do you have areas of your life that you haven't surrendered to God. Do you struggle with adding more faith to your faith?  Let this Bible workshop about growing your faith encourage you, as we study Hebrews 2!

Against all odds. Can you hold fast to what you believe —even when everything is going against you? It’s easy to have faith when things are going your way. But what happens when you are challenged? When the obstacle won’t move. How do you then behave?  Join us as we workshop Luke 18:1-8 to see what it means to be persistent in faith. 

No one can make you take God at His word. But a wonderful thing happens when we surrender and choose to believe God. In 1 Kings 17 we learn this valuable lesson through the prophet Elijah. Join us as we step out on FAITH this new year.

If the faith of the prophets in the Bible intimidates you or you feel like your life is insignificant in comparison, do not be dismayed. On this episode we workshop a passage in Luke 7, which shows us how ordinary people can have amazing faith. 

Each year we choose a new theme for our church. This year's theme is: The Year of Faith. It is a time for non-Christians to find faith, new believers to develop faith, mature believers to grow in faith and people who have fallen away to renew their faith. There's something for everyone at every stage of the Christian walk. We talk about what faith is (really) and how to walk in it. Join...

For our church, 2021 was given the theme, "The Year of Transformation." Transformation requires us to put on the new. The new what, you may ask. The new life in Christ. And it should look distinctly different from the life we lived before Christ. Join us as we workshop 2 Corinthians 5 to review the Apostle Paul's charge to all who call themselves Christians. 

Our gift to you this Christmas: a journey to where it all began! Let's give this holiday season substance as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Savior. But we're not going to the New Testament, we're going way back to the Old Testament book of Isaiah. Join us as we workshop Isaiah 9.

A few episodes back (#33) we workshopped a passage from Luke 1 with the theme, "Prisoners of a  Negative  Past." This episode we flip it and discuss the other end of that spectrum -- what it means to be a prisoner of a positive past. Isaiah 43 says, "forget the former things, do not dwell on the past." Join us as we workshop this passage!

If given an opportunity to choose your own gift, what gift would you choose? Or better yet, what do you value the most? In this episode of the The Bible Workshop we workshop a passage in 1 Kings 3, which shares a prayer by the great king Solomon about a "gift" he desired from God.

Ever go looking for something (keys, wallet, glasses?), can’t find it and then it later turns out that it was right in front of your face? But what if the thing you’re looking for is far more important than any of those things? For ex. The Savior Jesus Christ. What prevents you from seeing Jesus? We'll show you some answers to that question as we workshop The Gospel of Luke 24:13-27.

It's Thanksgiving season and most are focused on all the temporal things surrounding that. But let's consider why this holiday exists: to celebrate the harvest and remember the blessings of the past year. More specifically, we all should consider our gratitude to God, the one who provides, rather than simply stuffing ourselves and listening to "Uncle Bob's" stories for the...

God's word is filled with His promises. And those promises are secure. But do you sometimes struggle with the thought that maybe those promises aren't for you? Or that maybe God won't provide for you because of your sin -- or your doubts? Today's workshop will help anyone who struggles with letting go of a negative past. You must learn to walk in the blessings of today. God wan...
