The Expositor's Podcast with Dr. Joel Dover

As we prepare for the new year, Pastor Joel will talk to us about resolutions form the parable of the prodigal son. A resolution is simply a decision, based upon an analysis, that leads us to an improvement.

Pastor Joel will speak about interpreting Bible Prophecy by looking at five principles of Bible study. We'll have fun looking at it from a new perspective.

In this final message in Job, we'll see God's perfect restoration of Job. His suffering comes to and end, and God used it to take Job to a deeper place in his walk of faith.

After fielding awful advice from his four friends, Job finally hears directly from God. The Lord affirms Job's theology and reveals himself to Job in tremendous and new ways.

Elihu is the fourth friend who came with the rest to console Job. He is young, and had deferred his comments to his elders until now. Finally, he can't stand it and shares his own opinions about Job's awful predicaments. Join us as we learn more about their wonky theology of suffering, and as we see the example of someone who meant well, but whose advice was way off base.

After receiving poor council from friends, whose understanding was that Jobs suffering was an indication of his sins, Job speaks his defense. He tells his friends that if he had committed sins, that he would gladly receive the chastisement of God with understanding. Nonetheless, Job reminds us that we may not always understand why we're going through troubled times. When we don't understand why, w...

In this third conversation cycle between Job and his friends, we'll continue to see misconceptions about human suffering, and Jobs responses. We'll learn now to think Biblically when trials and sufferings come into our lives.

In this second conversation cycle between Job and his three friends, they will continue to offer inept consolation from a defective theological framework. We'll learn more about their worldview, and see Job's responses to their challenges.

This first of eight messages seeks to introduce us to the person of Job and to his season of suffering. We've much to learn about suffering, Satan, and the right response of men to suffering. Join us as we unpack this wonderful book and wrestle with our own suffering in light of lessons from Job.

Pastor Joel finishes our study through 2 Peter today as we look at final thoughts about the end times.

Peter begins to close his second epistle with a word about the last days. In the last days, scoffers will come who discount the clear teaching regarding the Lord's imminent return...but the Word of the Lord will stand forever.

Pastor Joel will teach us the fourth and final message from 2 Peter chapter 2 about false teachers. In this passage, we'll learn about tools and tactics that false teachers use to trip people up, and also see some takeaways when people fall for their schemes.

Pastor Joel will continue our journey through 2 Peter 2 as we learn more about false teachers. This is the third of four messages from Peter pertaining to False teachers, their danger, and how to spot them.

Elder Smith will speak to our church about the importance of small groups in church life. He'll be sharing from scripture, encouragements to participate in small groups and also personal testimony about the impact of small groups in his own life. This is sure to be a great Sunday of encouragement!

Pastor Joel will continue our look at Peter's teaching regarding false teachers in the church. Peter demonstrates several examples of GOd's judgment upon the unrighteous, as well as a wonderful example of God's deliverance. God knows how to separate the two, and this has tremendous implications for the Christian's future.

Pastor Joel will unpack Peter's teaching about identifying false teachers. How would we know one if we saw it? When we finish today, we'll have three good ways to spot a false teacher in the midst of the Lord's church.

Peter's time on earth was short, and so he wrote to admonish believers in the churches to stay firm in their faith. Peter tells them that they did not follow cunningly devised fables about Christ...it's not made up. He gives them evidences for his own faith and devotion to Christ. If you have ever wondered if it's right to believe in Christ or if we're simply believing a fable, then you'll enjoy h...

This week we'll hear from Pastor Sandy Adams. Sandy is the overseer of the Deep South region of the Calvary Chapel Association, and an Elder at our church. We'll be blessed by Sandy's teaching!

Pastor Joel builds our study in 2 Peter by teaching us about the need for Christians to take responsibility for their own spiritual growth. We are saved completely by the finished work of Christ, apart from our works or merits of any kind, but did you know that we're expected to work on our salvation? Indeed, believers are instructed to make efforts towards growing in Christ. It takes an effort to...

Pastor Joel begins a new teaching series today through the book of 2 Peter. In today's message, we'll see Peter's introduction and refutation of false teachers who promoted loose and libertine living. The problem with living like the Lord is not coming again is that we start to live like the Lord is not coming again!
