Random Acts of Study: Holy Spirit Inspired Learning

Understand the certainty of your faith. This episode explores 1 John 5:1-13 and the link between faith in Jesus, love for others, and the victory that conquers the world.

We're studying John's account of the final week of Christ’s ministry. Known as the "Upper Room Discourse", the scripture places us at a low table at supper with Jesus and the 12 disciples gathered around it. Yet, in the middle of it all, Jesus does something completely staggering. He gets up from the supper and does a job for his disciples that was beneath a slave. What was going on in the disciple's minds when this happened? How was this so mind-blowingn to the men who had followed and learned directly from Jesus? And is this the Passover Feast as some commentators claim? Or is it something completely different? We'll discuss this and more on today's episode! #BibleStudy #John13 #Jesus #TheGospel #Christianity

The message to the church in Ephesus is both a commendation and a warning. Jesus praises the church for their perseverance, discernment, and faithfulness in the face of adversity. Yet, He rebukes them for losing something - a newlywed love for Him. Jesus calls for their repentance and a return to their original zeal or a punishment would come. What do we have to learn from this warning? What would it mean for a lampstand to be removed? How are we called to have a newlywed love for Jesus? And who exactly are the Nicolaitans?

A great follow up to episode 23 where we cover Justification by Faith in Romans, John's epistle teaches us that when we are saved there is a change outwardly and inwardly, and that change comes through faith in Jesus as the Christ. God's love has enveloped and overtaken the person as a free gift from Him for those that are justified through faith in Jesus and John reminds us that the commandments aren't burdensome. Evidence of His saving grace comes from the Holy Spirit who abides in those who are saved and gives testimony that what we believe is real. What is that belief? That God has given us eternal life in Him. Join us as we deep dive into this piece of scripture that reminds us who we are to Him!

Solomon's temple is completed, the Ark has been installed and he's just finished praying that God doesn't turn His face from him, and to remember His servant David. What is the Shekinah Glory 2nd Chronicles talks about? What was it like during this time when it happened? And how does this speak to us in our time?

In this episode, we explore the teaching of justification by faith as presented in Romans 3:21-31. This text written by Paul lays out a truth that challenges both religious rituals and human pride: justification is not earned through works or the Law, but is a free gift of God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Join us as we explore the core of the gospel and how God’s righteousness is revealed apart from the law, available to all who believe. Whether you're a lifelong Christian or just starting to explore the Bible, this episode will deepen your understanding of how faith in Jesus justifies us before a holy God—and how this revelation changes everything.

Includes a bonus insight into Josh's missionary trip into Kenya at the beginning! Isaiah 18 is a prophecy filled with vivid imagery and symbolic language. The heart of the prophecy lies in the promise of God's judgment and subsequent restoration. The Lord will act with swift and decisive judgment, pruning and cutting down as He sees fit. This judgment, however, is not the end, but rather a prelude to a time of redemption. But how can we best come to terms with God's timing being incompatible with our human desire to see things happen quickly?
