The Biltmore Church Podcast

In this episode, we’re talking about a feeling that many believers experience but often don’t know how to voice: What do I do when it feels like nothing is happening when I pray? Pastor Bruce joins Michelle and Christian to unpack Psalm 46 and explore what it means to trust in God's presence and power even when He seems silent. If you’re in a season of waiting, doubt, or discouragement—this co...

Psalm 461 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth give way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High.5 God is in the midst of her; sh...

We’re back for Season 7 of the Biltmore Church Podcast! In this episode, Pastor Bruce joins Christian and Michelle to talk about one of the biggest challenges in prayer: distraction.

We’ll explore Luke 18 and practical ways to overcome distraction so you can grow in persistent, powerfu...

Luke 18:1-8 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.  2  He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man.  3  And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’  4  For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God n...

Titus 3 Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one anot...

Titus 2:1-15 But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. 2 Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. 3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, p...

Titus 1:6-166 if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. 7 For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, 8 but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. 9 He...

Titus1:11 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the faith of God's elect and their knowledge of the truth, which accords with godliness, 2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began 3 and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Savior; 4 To...

John 8:31-38 31  So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,  32  and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  33  They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?” 34  Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who prac...

2 Timothy 4:9-22 9  Do your best to come to me soon.  10  For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.  11  Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry.  12  Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.  13  When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Tro...

2 Timothy 4:6-86 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

2 Timothy 4:1 - 5 (ESV): 4 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate...

2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:1-16But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of...

2 Timothy 2:20-2620 Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable. 21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable,[a] he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.22 So flee youthful passions and pursue righteous...

2 Timothy 2:14-19 14  Remind them of these things, and charge them before God[ a ] not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.  15  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,[ b ] a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.  16  But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,  17  and...

2 Timothy 2:1-13 1 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.  2  And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.  3  Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.  4  No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his co...

Episode 12 of Season 6 of the Biltmore Church Podcast, where each week we'll be having helpful conversations to help you grow as a disciple of Jesus. In this week's episode, we’ll be discussing the fascinating book of Judges.  You can access a digital copy of our Judges Scripture Journal at biltmorechurch.com/judges !

Warning: the book of Judges is both disturbing and violent. It recounts the tragedy of Israel's growing moral corruption, caused by a repeating cycle of disobedience, disaster, and deliverance. The Israelites seem to be stuck on a hamster wheel, repeating the same foolish choices over and over again. This downward spiral leads the people of Israel to become no different than the Canaanites they we...
