Let the Bible Speak – Kevin Presley

The great Apostle Paul was a pillar in the church throughout the Greek world. This ambassador of King Jesus was dispatched to carry the message of the Heavenly Monarch to the Gentile nations. Was the gospel he was entrusted with different from that of Peter and the other apostles who were there when the gospel was first preached to the Jews on the Day of Pentecost? Some allege that Peter was given the gospel of repentance and submission to the Lordship of Christ, whereas Paul was given the gospel of grace and that modern Christians should look to Paul and not Peter for instruction. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak we ask did Peter and Paul preach different gospels?

When Noah and his small family found themselves floating over the deep in the ark, they were alone in the world. God had wiped away the former civilization and its impenitent wickedness. The bible says, “Then God remembered Noah…” This serves as a wonderful reminder to the people of God that God does not forget His own. This phrase is similarly used in other places in scripture and usually brings comfort and assurance to the confused, anxious, and suffering. It also stands as a warning to others. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we talk about the infinite memory of God.

Does it matter how we worship God? In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we learn about two priests in the Old Testament who learned the answer the hard way. When the priests offered their sacrifices, a consuming fire confirmed that God received the offering. In the case of this careless and presumptuous pair, the fire fell and consumed them instead. Find out why it is dangerous to Play With Fire.

Crafting and remaining devoted to a mission statement is one key to the success of an organization. The same is true for the kingdom of Christ. The objectives of the church were not created by men but by the Head of the church Himself, the Lord Jesus. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we learn about the church’s mission and why we must not become distracted and drift from it.

Saying “no” can be difficult especially if we must refuse one in authority. It is a vital word, however, in the Christian’s vocabulary. History is replete with the stories of courageous men and women who stood before dictators, despots, and tyrants and refused to compromise their convictions. None were ever so valiant as those we read of in holy writ, who risked their lives by refusing the orders of ungodly rulers and enemies of God. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we find inspiration in four men who had the courage to say “no” and altered the course of history.

A day has been appointed by God to bring the world to judgment. Every person will appear before Jesus, the Christ, and the righteous Judge to answer for the life they lived. Solomon, Jesus, Paul, and other inspired men have promised this would be the case. Despite the many warnings given in the Word of God, however, the Day of Judgment will be a day of shocking revelations for many. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, learn why multitudes will be Shocked At The Sentence.

Christ Jesus left the earth with the promise to return. While the church patiently waits for His coming, the unbelieving world is rushing headlong toward God’s judgment. His coming will mean joy for many and unthinkable horrors for many more. It will be the day of all days. What kind of day will it be when Jesus comes again? In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we look at eight characteristics of that promised event.

The Apostle Paul was privileged to not only serve Christ as His apostle but was also given special revelations and visions, including the unique experience of being transported to Paradise. This incredible privilege could have led Paul to be proud and feel invincible. God protected Paul from this potential pitfall by humbling him with what he calls his “thorn in the flesh”. What did Paul mean; what did he learn from this thorn; and what should our own sufferings teach us today?

(Part 5 – Bread In Bethlehem Series) The events recorded in the Book of Ruth were not coincidental or happenstance. God’s providence was at work in the lives of its characters not only for the good of their family but for the entire family of God. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we learn how God used the Moabitess, Ruth, to continue unfolding His purpose for the ages.
