God's Gifts to Christ's Body
5/5/2024
Romans 12:6-8
There is diversity in unity. While that statement sounds oxymoronic, it is very true of Christ’s body, the church. God has given every Christian a gift that, when used rightly, contributes to the oneness of the body and to His glory. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he describes the “grace gifts” God gives to His people and their ultimate purpose.

One Body in Christ
4/28/2024
Romans 12: 4-5
There’s no mention of the church in the Old Testament and in fact, the word church is used rather infrequently in the New Testament. But the word “body” on the other hand is used often because it reflects what the church really is. Join Dr. James Boice as he explores the true identity of the church on The Bible Study Hour.

First Things First
4/21/2024
Romans 12:3
As our study in Romans 12 progresses, Paul moves from the subject of the Christian life to the Christian’s relationship with other believers. As he exposes the sin of pride, the enemy of those relationships he calls for a radical mental adjustment on the part of the Christian. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he shows that the right estimation of self will result in harmony with the brethren and glory going to God.

God’s Good, Pleasing, and Perfect Will
4/14/2024
Romans 12:2
The world’s will for us based on the world’s thinking sounds right and reasonable at face value: money equals happiness, success is the path to satisfaction, what makes me feel good must be right. Alternatively, God’s will for our lives doesn’t sound quite so attractive: humility, sacrifice, and service to others. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he shows us that walking in God’s will is, in the end, the path that brings true joy and satisfaction in the life of the believer.

Mind Renewal in a Mindless Age, Part 2
4/7/2024
Romans 12:2
If you eliminate God from the universe as humanists tend to do, then man assumes the role and becomes the measure of all things. In light of that, you may be surprised to learn that the Bible also describes man as much more important and valuable than any humanist might imagine, but with one major caveat. Dr. James Boice explores the value of man and the value of others on today's episode of The Bible Study Hour.

Rewards Instead of Punishment
3/31/2024
Matthew 28:11-15
The enemies of Jesus learned about the resurrection before His followers did. The soldiers charged with guarding the tomb found it empty and feared the punishment that awaited them. But rather than being punished, they were rewarded for their silence. Listen as Dr. James Boice takes us through the reactions to the resurrection on The Bible Study Hour.
Duration:00:31:28
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
3/24/2024
Matthew 28:1-15
The resurrection of Jesus Christ was the resurrection of a physical body. The disciples realized that when they touched Him, and it was that conviction that sent them into the world as messengers of the gospel. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he presents the evidence that Jesus was who He said He was, that He accomplished what He said He would do, and that those who trust Him will live forever.
Duration:00:29:55
Mind Renewal in a Mindless Age, Part 1
3/17/2024
Romans 12:2
How do we experience mind renewal in an exceedingly mindless age? Not by simply thinking more about Christian things, but by thinking in a Christian way about—everything! Listen as Dr. James Boice explores the biblical criteria for the renewing of our minds on The Bible Study Hour.
Duration:00:30:15
This Mindless Age
3/10/2024
Romans 12:2
How should a Christian think? That may sound like a strange question, but one writer claims there is no longer a distinctly Christian way of thinking about the world and that people no longer “think” much in general. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he discusses the major cause of the mindlessness of this age.
Duration:00:31:31
The Pattern of This Age
3/3/2024
Romans 12:2
Are you a conformed or a transformed believer? Have you allowed the world to squeeze you into its mold or are you allowing the Holy Spirit to change you from within by the renewing of your mind? Listen as Dr. James Boice examines these two forces competing for the heart and soul of the Christian on The Bible Study Hour.
Duration:00:30:49
Service That Makes Sense
2/25/2024
Romans 12:1
Offering our bodies as a living sacrifice may seem like a lot to ask of God’s people, yet Paul calls it “our reasonable service.” Listen to Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he presents five reasons why rational thinking would lead us to give our hearts, minds and souls to Jesus.
Duration:00:30:51
Living Sacrifice: Its Motive
2/18/2024
Romans 12:1
We tend to spend a good deal of time trying to motivate ourselves and others. What is it that motivates people? Napoleon used the promise of medals, Churchill used the vision of victory in a seemingly hopeless situation, but what inspires Christians to offer their bodies a living sacrifice to God? Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he explores that question of motivation.
Duration:00:28:18
Living Sacrifice: Its Nature
2/11/2024
Romans 12:1
Until the cross, sacrifices for sin were dead sacrifices. Jesus’ death on the cross might have been considered a dead sacrifice were it not for the fact that He arose, and because of His sacrifice for us, we are called to become a living sacrifice for Him. Listen as Dr. James Boice describes the qualities necessary to become a living sacrifice for God on The Bible Study Hour.
Duration:00:32:20
Dying We Live
2/4/2024
Romans 12:1
A paradox may be defined as a statement that seems to be contradictory but may--in fact—be true. The Trinity is a prime example—one God existing in three persons. An even greater paradox is that to be a Christian, we must die in order to live. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he delves into this great truth of the faith.
Duration:00:28:27
How Should We Then Live
1/28/2024
Romans 12:1
The first eleven chapters of the book of Romans are doctrinal in nature, but as the Apostle Paul penned chapter 12 of this letter, he begins to show us how we’re to apply those doctrinal principles. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he begins to show us “how we then should live” from this remarkable epistle.
Duration:00:29:03
Preaching Christ Without Hindrance
1/21/2024
Acts 28:17-31
In the book of Acts, author Luke set out to give us the history of the spread of Christianity from the earliest days in Judea through the provinces of the known world and onto Rome itself. It covered the ministries of Peter, Stephen and Paul and it is a most unique and remarkable book. Listen as Dr. James Boice completes his study of Acts on The Bible Study Hour.
Duration:00:38:01
All Roads Lead to Rome
1/14/2024
Acts 28:1-16
As we draw to the close of our study in Acts, we witness the long-awaited arrival of the Apostle Paul in Rome. And while he’s greeted with a hero’s welcome by fellow believers, his fame soon fades and the apostle finds himself once again, a prisoner for Christ. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he takes us through the fulfillment of Paul’s declaration that, “I must go to Rome.”
Duration:00:31:10
Peril at Sea
1/7/2024
Acts 27:1-44
The great storm that overtook the ship carrying Paul to Rome was a literal storm, but it was also an illustration of the storms that come into the life of a believer. At times we think we’re exempt from those storms, but when they break on us with all their fury, where is our anchor? Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he chronicles the storm that nearly succeeded in thwarting Paul’s destiny in Rome.
Duration:00:35:56
The Trial Before King Agrippa
12/31/2023
Acts 25:13-26:32
The Apostle Paul is about to have his third hearing before the authorities of his day, but unlike his previous defenses, this hearing with King Agrippa was to prove more promising, because Agrippa had both a knowledge of Jewish ways and a standing with Rome. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he takes us through Paul’s defense before Agrippa on his journey to Rome.
Duration:00:33:52
The Word Before All Words
12/24/2023
John 1:1-4
While the gospel of John gives no account of Jesus’ birth, it does contain a wonderful prelude to that incredible event. John’s narrative doesn’t tell us how He came but why He came and who He is. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he looks at a passage not often associated with the Christmas season, but one which carries some tremendous implications in the life of a believer.
