Seek Search: Recent Episodes
Jon Bingham
Seek Search is intended to provide spiritual encouragement. Seek God. Search the Scriptures. Discover the simple truths therein. Pursue what is the actual Biblical balance. I hope you will be blessed by this content.
Complementing the ideas presented in the previous Seek Search podcast, here are additional passages for us to learn from and keep in mind as we look to navigate current and future challenges to faithfulness in our world today.
These thoughts (originally presented in March 2020) should still resonate with us today.
Now is a good time to hear (or hear again) some Biblical principles that can help re-center us in the midst of the current distresses.
Following up on the Biblical balance of godliness with contentment, let's consider the Scriptural principles that apply to gambling.
How should we view material possessions? In this episode, we explore the Biblical balance of what it means to have godliness with contentment.
In this episode, we explore some of the key ways that the religious leaders (when Jesus walked the earth) were far from seeking the true righteousness of God. Let us learn to be neither Pharisees nor Sadducees - learning from our Lord's rebukes of both fallacies. Both mindsets remain prevalent in religious thinking today.
When we come to understand that Jesus is Lord, how are we to react?
Jesus calls believers to be united in Him. What does that mean for us as believers?
What questions must we consider? What passages must we apply to walk in faith?
Let's learn what the Bible says about what it means to submit to Jesus as Lord.
In this episode, let us build our faith in and understanding of these truths:
God has given us the Scriptures and Jesus is the fulfillment of the Scriptures. The multi-faceted fulfillment of the Scriptures serves to prove both tenets are true.
Do we have a firm foundation based on the truth and reality of God and His Word? Be encouraged by this episode which starts with "There is a God" and continues to build our faith foundations.
Love is as essential as truth for us to be pleasing to God. While the previous episode emphasized our need for truth, this episode focuses on the heart motivation we must have in our pursuit of His truth. Love is foundational.
Truth is essential. Is this true?
In this episode, let's discover the Bible's emphasis on our need for truth. Yet, we will also see that the Bible balances our need for truth with our need to handle it with a proper disposition. Let's search the Scriptures to learn this Biblical balance.
To accurately handle the word of truth, we need to pursue the Biblical balance. Please continue to search the Scriptures as this episode continues to explore this idea.
Do we need balance? Physically, God has shown us our need of balance in so many aspects of life. But spiritually, does God call us to a Biblical balance? As you listen, please search the Scriptures to see if this is so.
For those new to the podcast, and those blessed by the reminder, this episode has a new introduction followed by the original encouragement to seek and search.

Today's episode will explore and apply Psalm 19, with focus on the latter two sections describing the value of the Scriptures and emphasizing how "in keeping them, there is great reward." I hope you will be encouraged by this podcast to search the Scriptures to see whether whatever is being taught the truth of God's Word.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and..." - Hebrews 11:6 (NIV). It is good for us to start by building this foundation of faith: God exists. For some, this is simply a valuable reminder. For others, this will strengthen our understanding to more fully believe. We need to be firm in this foundational truth, equipped to reason with others about it.
Following two episodes to address our present distress in a timely fashion, this third podcast (which originally served as the first broadcast on WFIA) properly introduces the Biblical foundations of our need to "Seek" and "Search". May this lesson encourage us to Seek God and Search the Scriptures.
How should we react in the present distress? This episode points to additional Scriptures which will help us more faithfully approach God in prayer for all men, grow in desiring what God desires, and submit to Jesus as Lord - all in view of the reality of final judgment.
