Latest Episodes from the Wednesday in the Word podcast
01 Kingship in the Books of Moses
Proper understanding of the Pentateuch can help us understand the Christian life and all of God’s creation. We are part of the biblical narrative – God’s plan to redeem a people for Himself.
03 Did God Lie to Israel?
How are we to interpret the numerous prophetic predictions of the glorious future restoration of Israel?
Who was Mark?
John Mark was a companion of both Paul and Peter, and a cousin of Barnabas and the author of one of the four gospels.
02 There and Back Again: The Strange Journeys of the Glory of God
In the year Ezekiel should have started his priestly duties, he was in exile in Babylon. Instead the Lord gave him a vision. What exactly did Ezekiel see?
01 Introduction to the Prophets
3 reasons why we don’t study the prophets: they’re weird, confusing and they all sound alike. Here’s why it is important to study the prophets.
Who was Matthew?
Matthew, also called Levi, was one of the 12 Apostles of Jesus Christ and the author of the gospel that bears his name. He was a tax collector before following Jesus.
10 What is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit?
While this topic is controversial, I think Scripture teaches that the baptism of the Holy Spirit has both an individual application (as applied to the apostles) and a universal application (as applied to all believers).
09 What is the Unity of the Holy Spirit? (Romans 15:1-13)
As Paul deals with the issue of the “weaker” brother, he makes an important point about unity and the power of the Holy Spirit at work in all believers. Unity is not something that can be imposed from the outside or the top down. Unity is a work of the Holy Spirit bringing individuals together through their shared faith.
John’s Use of the Old Testament
The Apostle John’s use of the Old Testament in his gospel and his letters.
James’ Use of the Old Testament
The New Testament is our divinely inspired commentary on the Old Testament. When studying a passage, it’s often helpful to see how other biblical authors understood it. Here is James’ use of the Old Testament in his letter.
08 Who is the Holy Spirit?
As a new believer, I thought the Holy Spirit was like the “force” in Star Wars: something I had to access to find success. Paul has a different view in this passage. The Holy Spirit is the active love of God intervening to make us people who will persevere in faith.
Mark’s Use of the Old Testament
The New Testament is our divinely inspired commentary on the Old Testament. When studying a passage, it’s often helpful to see how other biblical authors understood it. Here is Mark’s use of the Old Testament in his gospel.
