The Preaching of the Cross

People throw around the words “tribulation” and “end times” like they automatically describe whatever is happening in America right now. We slow that down and ask a sharper question: when the Bible talks about the Great Tribulation, who is God talking to? Once you see the difference between the Old Testament nation of Israel and the New Testament Church, whole sections of prophecy stop feeling fog...

If you’ve ever heard someone speak with total confidence about the Great Tribulation but struggle to find the same certainty in the actual text of the Bible, this teaching is for you. We open by calling out a common problem in Christian life: repeating catchphrases like “God said it” while never doing the hard, careful work of showing what God said and where He said it. Doctrine gets fragile when...

The Great Tribulation isn’t just a scary phrase from Revelation. It’s a Bible-defined period tied to the wrath of God, and what you believe about it shapes how you read the rapture, the Second Coming, and the hope Christ gives His church. I’m Brother James, and we’re concluding our series by walking straight through Scripture to explain why we believe the church will be taken out before that wrath...

The fastest way to get distracted in Bible prophecy is to stare at “signs” until you stop looking up. Brother James continues part three of a four-part study on the Great Tribulation and the church, making a focused, verse-by-verse argument that the New Testament church is not appointed to the seven-year outpouring of wrath often called Jacob’s trouble, and that the rapture comes before that perio...

If you’ve ever wondered what “salvation is of the Lord” looks like when it’s tested by real power, real fear, and real death, this message goes straight there. We start with the heart of the gospel: people sin and try to cover it, but God moves toward us in love, sending His Son to suffer and die so we can be forgiven, cleansed, justified, and made new. That’s not a small idea, it’s the kind of tr...

A man is tied to a stake, a bag of gunpowder hung around his neck, and the flames lit all because he won’t say water can save his soul. That’s the true story of George Wagner, killed in Munich in 1527, and we use it to ask a hard question: what do we actually believe about salvation when comfort is no longer on the table?  We walk through the historical backdrop of persecution and the danger of ch...

Some sermons don’t try to sound polite, they try to be clear. Brother James keeps moving through an old, worn booklet he loves, “Mistakes God Did Not Make,” and uses it to challenge evolution, agnosticism, and atheism with a simple question: can your worldview stay consistent when you follow it all the way to the end? From population control and planned parenthood arguments to the logic of “surviv...

A single sentence like “make health catching” sounds compassionate until you follow it to its logical end. Brother James takes that feel-good claim and detonates it with a Methuselah thought experiment, using simple exponential math to show how a deathless world with ongoing birth would become a population catastrophe. From there, the conversation lands on a sharper theological point: if sin is re...

A single “small” change can ruin everything: a slightly different atmosphere, a different axial tilt, a sun that runs a little hotter, a moon that sits a little closer. We walk through why that matters, not as trivia, but as a serious challenge to the idea that life on Earth is the product of evolutionary chance. If one percent in the wrong direction turns the planet into an oven, a deep freeze, o...

If one tiny setting in nature shifted, would anything we call “normal life” survive? We wrestle with that question as Pastor James W. Knox draws from a long out-of-print booklet titled Mistakes God Did Not Make and turns it into a bold case for Biblical creation and Christian faith. We talk through the overlooked “fine-tuning” that shows up in plain sight: population limits, the balance of chemica...

If you’ve ever been told the Bible can’t stand up to modern science, this broadcast is a direct challenge to that claim. We start with a simple observation most people ignore: science textbooks get rewritten constantly, but Scripture hasn’t needed revisions to keep up. From there, we make the case that the Bible doesn’t just speak with spiritual authority, it speaks with a kind of steadiness and a...

A single Bible story keeps getting thrown at Christians like a trump card: “Joshua’s long day is impossible, so the Bible cannot be true.” We tackle that claim head-on, not with slogans, but by slowing down and asking what the text actually says, why the objection became so popular, and what it reveals about how people are taught to think about science and Scripture. We also zoom out to the bigger...

Science changes its mind fast. New editions replace old editions, and yesterday’s “settled” claims quietly end up in the trash. We take that reality head-on and ask a fair question: if science is always revising, why do people mock the Bible for not changing? From our ongoing Bible as Science series, we make the case that Scripture does not need to be reshaped to survive modern theories, because G...

A flood story shows up on every continent and the details are strangely familiar. We keep pressing our “Bible as Science” series forward by asking a blunt question: if Noah’s flood in Genesis is only a myth, why do so many unrelated peoples preserve a deluge memory that tracks the same outline and often the same key events? We walk through ethnology, the study of living races and their traditions,...

Earthquakes strike without permission. Crops fail with too little rain or too much. Floodwaters rise past every forecast and every promise of “control.” We take those realities for granted, but we don’t often ask what they mean. We’re calling them warning signals, and we’re tying that warning to one of the most argued-about events in the Bible: Noah’s flood. We continue our “Bible as Science” them...

You might have a few Bibles lying around your house that you never open, but somewhere else in the world a family is praying for a single New Testament they can call their own. We start there, with a simple challenge: don’t let God’s Word collect dust when it could be read, shared, and treasured overseas. If you’ve ever wondered whether small acts of giving matter, this conversation makes it tangi...

Noah’s Ark gets mocked as a children’s story, but the arguments used against it often collapse the moment you ask one simple question: “Based on what measurements?” We’re continuing our Bible and science series by taking on modern science versus Noah’s Ark and exposing how many “gotcha” objections are powered by confusion, not facts. We tell two debates that reveal the pattern. First, an unbelieve...

A whale, a missing sailor, and a ship’s doctor who signs the record. If you’ve ever heard someone scoff that Jonah and the great fish is “obviously unscientific,” we put that claim under a bright light and ask a better question: are we dealing with facts, or with assumptions dressed up as certainty? We start with a quick look at how far the preaching of God’s Word is traveling through this radio m...

People love to laugh off Jonah and the whale as “obviously impossible” but most of the time that confidence comes from a fuzzy picture of what a whale even is. We take the criticism head-on and get surprisingly specific, comparing toothed whales that chew with baleen whales built to gulp and strain, then asking a simple question: are we rejecting the Bible because of evidence, or because we’ve alr...

Jonah and the whale is one of the easiest Bible stories to mock and one of the hardest to discuss calmly. We start somewhere most people do not expect: the quiet power of generosity that gives without asking, serves without squeezing, and trusts God to provide. Then we turn straight toward the criticism that never seems to go away, the claim that the book of Jonah collapses under science and commo...

Jonah and the whale gets mocked so often that many people assume the Bible must be careless with facts and science. We take the opposite approach: slow down, read the text plainly, and ask what the evidence actually supports. From the opening minutes, we lay out why “science falsely so called” is not a threat to Scripture, and why the loudest attacks on biblical accuracy tend to come from a surpri...

If someone told you the book of Job contains scientific questions that still corner modern thinkers, would you roll your eyes or lean in. I lean in, because Job 38 doesn’t read like a vague religious poem. It reads like a series of direct challenges about the physical world, asked thousands of years before modern instruments existed, and that tension is exactly where today’s conversation lives. We...

Science gets invoked like a trump card in conversations about faith, but what happens when the Bible itself raises scientific questions that still humble the modern mind? We take you to Job 38, where God confronts human pride with simple, piercing challenges: Have you ever commanded the morning to come on time, or made the dawn “know its place”? If you have ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m. wis...

Modern science loves to critique the Bible, but what happens when the Bible turns around and questions science? We open Job 38 and watch God respond to Job’s challenge with a blunt examination of creation, origins, and human limits and the most honest answer keeps resurfacing across the centuries: “I don’t know.” We build the case that the Bible and science are not natural enemies when you actuall...

Genesis gets dismissed with a slogan: “The Bible says there was life before there was light.” We slow that claim down, read what the text actually says, and show why the easy objection doesn’t hold up. Then we go one step further, because the real question is bigger than a talking point: when Scripture touches the natural world, does it contradict reality or describe it with surprising clarity? We...
