In this episode we ask the question are we seeking life among the dead? We also list the advantages and disadvantages to serving a DEAD God! This may sound strange but it might be that some would prefer a dead god over the living God. When some of Jesus' followers went to His tomb they didn't find what they were expecting. They were seeking the living among the dead. It could be that we still do this today.

In this episode we look at some questions God ask us. We all probably have some questions we would like to ask God. When ask questions it is usually to try an answer or to clarify some confusion. But God has all the answers! So why would God need to ask questions? What are some questions that God has asked people and are they still relevant today? We think so and these questions might cause us to think about God and our relationship with Him.

In this episode we ask in who can we trust? The national motto of the USA is In God We Trust. But do we really trust in God these days? Rep. Jerry Nadler says the congress has no interest in God's Word and it seems many people feel this same way. Perhaps we should turn back to the standard of God and to his Word for reliable and time tested Truth. So who can we trust in? We are going with Jesus!
Jesus said blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. We should be feeding ourselves good quality spiritual bread and water so we don't become spiritually malnourished. We talk about this and much more on this episode.
Jesus was crucified two thousand years ago. Why are we still talking about this today? We ask the question what was God doing on a cross? When you look at it from the Biblical perspective the crucifixion of Jesus takes on a deep and profound meaning.
On this episode of Ask The Essential Truth we talk about the good news of being alive in Jesus Christ. But that brings up the obvious question of how do I get in Christ?

Sometimes it can be hard to be optimistic. Usually when things seem to be going bad in can be even harder to be hopeful. But is this the attitude christians should have? What does the Bible say about having optimism? Our hope is not in this world alone but our hope is in Christ!
In this episode we talk about the difference between faith and fact. Some seem to think the two are not compatible. To many it becomes faith versus fact. But we think it is all about faith and facts. The more facts you have the stronger your faith grows! We lay out the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. Imagine you are on a jury and you have all the facts surrounding Jesus and his resurrection. If you had to decide and the standard was beyond a reasonable doubt, how would you rule? Did Jesus actually die and come back to life? Let's examine the facts and test our Faith!
It is amazing that Jesus tells a Story 2000 years ago and we still talk about it today and it still has deep meaning! In this episode we are talking about the Parable of the Sower. If you are doing the work of spreading the good news about Jesus (the seed) then you can expect to have different reactions from those you tell based on their heart condition (soil type). Jesus describes 4 different heart conditions that people can have. It might be a good idea for us all to do a little self-examination and see where we fall on Jesus list of heart conditions.
In this episode we bring in a special guest to talk about the Christian mission statement given to us by Jesus himself. We sometimes call it The Great Commission! Although it seems according to a recent survey that most Christians don't know what the Great Commission is!
Our guest on this episode is Andy Baker. Andy is the President/CEO of World Christian Broadcasting, an organization that spreads the Good News of Jesus Christ all over the world with radio waves.
Thanks for joining in the discussion. If you would like to learn more about World Christian Broadcasting go to worldchristian.org or contact Andy Baker at abaker@worldchristian.org.
Paul said to some the cross of Christ is a stumbling block and to others it's just foolish. What does this mean and why is it this way? We talk about this statement Paul makes in 1 Corinthians 1:23 in this episode. To find an answer we compare two great sermons from the Bible (Acts 2 and Acts 17) and look at the audience for both and the results of both. Hope you enjoy the conversation and please feel free to share your thoughts. Thanks!
The world seems to be changing rapidly but as Christians we hold to the unchanging Truth of God. If we know that this world isn't our permanent home, then what kind of people should we be? Peter asks this question in 2 Peter 3:11. We take a look at this and much more on this episode.
In this episode we look to the bible to figure out the truth of the gospel message. It is a wide range discussion from the beginning of the bible all the way through. We even get in some commentary on Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's crazy prayer from the first meeting of the House of Representatives! Hope you enjoy.
In this video we talk about the top three most important truths from the Bible. We look back at some of our past episodes and talk about what we think are the most important truths a person can know.

In this episode we talk about gifts. We look at the issue from many different perspectives but ultimately conclude that Jesus is the gift of God. And what a gift He is!! He offers us peace and hope that the world can't give. And to top it off, He offers us forgiveness and even eternal life!
What is the Biblical View of race? On this episode we bring in Hiram Kemp to talk about The Essential Truth of race. It's hard to find real truth on this subject in todays world. Some say racism is no longer a problem at all. Others argue that the entire culture is systemically racist! Hard to find truth in this atmosphere. Hiram is one of the authors of It's There in Black and White. In his book he discusses all these issues from a Biblical worldview.

On this episode we will use the truths we find in the Bible to understand the truth about the Lord's Supper. For Christians the greatest event that has ever happened is the death, burial and resurrection of of our savior Jesus! The Lord's supper gives us an opportunity to remember and relive this great event. It also gives us a chance to refocus our lives back on Christ all while worshiping God!
What are we worth in God's eyes? This is The Essential Truth of self worth. What value do we place on ourselves depends a lot on our worldview. What am I worth to God? This is the real question. We should also ask ourselves what is God worth to me?
In this episode we talk about The Essential Truth of the Authority of Jesus. In Matt. 28:18 Jesus makes a big claim when He reveals that He now has ALL authority. So what is included in ALL authority? We also get into the authority of the Bible and the narrative or story it reveals to us. The Bible is how we know about Jesus.
