The Bible Study: Recent Episodes

Jim Grace

The focus here is to study the Bible and any topic that the Word addresses. We will accomplish this via topical studies, and book/chapter studies. Like most laymen, I am interested in reading, understanding, and applying the Word in my daily life. Join me as I dive into the Word and share what I’ve learned. I pray you’re blessed by the contents. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jim-grace/support

I advise caution before listening to this episode. This show deals in graphic details of serious addiction and how to overcome. This episode is going to be far more suitable for men than women. And children under 18 should seek to have an open discussion about the contents of this show with a believing parent or a Christian mentor in their life.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jim-grace/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jim-grace/support

I was asked to share about the true meaning of Christmas to my campus recently but because my wife, kids, and I all caught COVID I was not able to share with them. So instead I figured I would share what I intended to here. I hope it blesses you and that it is impactful to anyone you might be prompted to share it with.

In the final part of this 3 part series we cover the mountain of historical evidence that reinforces and confirms the life and ministry of Jesus, as well as the reliability of the New Testament documents. Share with a friend as I believe this contains some of the strongest evidence pointing people to Jesus! PS please excuse a few moments where I may have been a little distracted or repeating myself. Between kiddos and incoming text messages, my focus was broken a few times but I try to get myself back on track as quickly as possible each time. Enjoy!!

In today’s episode I share the philosophical arguments for the existence of God. As with the last episode, these are notes I used when evangelizing in the city of Oberlin, OH. This episode will mostly focus on the philosophical arguments for the necessity of God, but will also include scientific, historical, and comparative religion arguments for the reason to believe in Jesus. Share with a friend! Enjoy!

Today I dive into one of my favorite things to do and explain the great reasons we have for belief in God. If you’ve ever thought that “science” was this looming monster in the closet that Christians should fear, then let me encourage you, that science (devoid of the bad inferences that unbelievers try to throw in) actually overwhelmingly points to the existence of a creator. And in part 1 of a 3 part apologetic series, I will begin to make the case why you should believe in God and specifically, in Jesus. Enjoy!!

Today we finish our verse by verse study of chapter 7 AND the Sermon on the Mount! The Spirit was all over this one guys. We get to cover the heaviest material Jesus gets to and learn how to properly apply it. Between spiritual wolves, discerning a true believer, and talking about Hell and who’s going there, Jesus lets it rip!

This was probably my second favorite episode to cover. I feel very passionately about the Christian’s role in judging others and sin. And while I don’t get into the entire subject here in this episode, I do cover one side of it. More to come in the near future! And then what I expect will be a different approach towards The Golden Rule an you’ve probably heard before. Enjoy!

Okay so today we continue covering the Giving to the Poor and Prayer Section of Matthew 6! Here we get to cover “The Lord’s Prayer” or the “Our Father” depending on your first exposure to this prayer. When Jesus instructs us how to pray, (the ONE thing His Disciples asked Him to teach them) you better believe what He shares is going to be impactful. While most of us probably have this prayer memorized, I encourage everyone to try to listen to it with new ears and be open to what God wants you to glean from it. Enjoy!
