BIBLE BASICS: Building Blocks of Belief

Part 8: FAITH: Don't Leave Home Without It! (Session 1)

Our goal today is to put some "Bible basics" to work an help us see through the fog and put some genuine handles on the word and concept of "faith." This will be the first of two sessions on this topic, answering the questions, what is biblical faith? And, what is it NOT? Today's session will begin with 1 Timothy 1:1-7 and 12-17. In the second session we'll unpack Hebrews 11. In the Greek language, faith is an action word, both as a noun and as a verb. So let's get to the bottom of "faith" and see just how the Scriptures picture it! I'll report; you decide!   :))

The mission of A Word From the Word radio program, with your host Pastor Tom, is to unpack the richness and the beauty of the Bible's original languages as they bear on key words and concepts from both Old and New Testaments.

With a natural, engaging and down to earth style, Pastor Tom shares from his heart and desires that our relationship with God will be strengthened and deepened, and that both our understanding and application of God's Word will be enriched, and that we'll be drawn to love it and be transformed by it more and more each day.

Part 11: Angels: God's Secret Agents!

Studying both good and evil angels in Scripture is not just fascinating, it's necessary! Our world is absorbed and enchanted with angels, often believing incorrect things. Our fascination with the spirit world and its activities are big news, dominating Holywood's TV and movie world! Despite science's influence, there remains a strong, curious flirtation with the spirit world, including angels. Today our focus is on the "good" angels -- "elect angels" as 1 Timothy 5:21 calls them. We'll begin with Elisha in 2 Kings 6:8-17. I'll report; you decide!   :))

Part 10: SATAN: The Ultimate Arch-Enemy!

So, have you got thoughts on what or who satan is? Of course you do; we all do! But the question remains: who's picture do we have in mind? Our own? Someone else's? A book? A video? A preacher or teacher? Well, let's take a basic, but hard look at what the Bible says. We may be surprised, we may be shocked, but at least we'll be told the truth, once and for all! I'll report; you decide!    :))

Part 9: FAITH: The Substance of Things Hoped For...(Session 2)

In this second session of our two-part segment on "faith," we'll tackle Hebrews 11:1 as well as the chapter at large. While some contend that verse 1 gives us a "definition" of faith, I submit that Scripture's intent is NOT to give us a definition but, rather, a description or demonstration of the behavior of faith. Hebrews 11 has often been called the "heroes of faith" chapter. But this is unfortunate, because it makes us portray them as "super heroes" and untouchable to us regular Christians! Let's scrutinize Hebrews 11 a little closer and see what it's actually trying to teach us! I'll report; you decide!   :))
