The Coming of the King (Part 2)

This is the second part of our study on the Coming of the King in 1 Thessalonians. Paul encouraged the Thessalonians in their hope of the return of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven. This is our hope too. Tim and Stephen converse on the importance of making this a reality and living our lives as if we were already in the Kingdom of God.

The Coming of the King (Part 1)

This episode is broadcast from a special place, the Manitoulin Island Christadelphian Bible Camp with a special guest. You’ll have to listen in to find out who it is. He shares with us his studies in Paul’s epistles to the Thessalonians with its emphasis on the coming of the King, the Lord Jesus Christ. The word “coming” is the Greek parousia and has a special cultural and historical significance. Our guest also shares with us an essential Bible study concerning faith, hope, and love, which he calls “the royal triplet”. This is part 1 of 2.

We Shall Not All Sleep

We have all experienced falling asleep at night and waking up in the morning refreshed to start a new day. God uses sleep and awakening as a metaphor in the Bible to describe death. Aaron McKee and Tim Young go through this essential Bible study on sleep and how it has a wonderful message of hope beyond death. Our key verse is from 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, “Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.”

Every Word of God is Pure

This is part three of our three-part series on the inspiration of the Bible. In this episode, we look at how the Bible describes itself as “innerant”. This is not a word that we use too often and neither does the Bible. The Scriptures have different ways of talking about it though. Tim Young and Jay Mayock look at three key passages that talk about the purity of God’s word and how important they are for our outlook on studies of the Bible.

The chart on Psalm 19 is here.

All Scripture is God Breathed

This is the second part of a three-part series on the inspiration of the Bible. This one is about the scriptures, the written word of God. How did the spoken word of God come to be written down? Jay Mayock and Tim Young continue with this all-important subject discussing how the true inspiration of the Bible is under attack today and how we have to study our Bibles to know what it claims for itself.

God Spoke…

The basis of all our studies is that the Bible is the Word of God. What does it mean that the Bible is inspired by God? What does the Bible say for itself on this question? Jay Mayock joins Tim Young to begin this three-part series on the inspiration of God. In this first part, we’ll see how God spoke through angels, prophets and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Season 2 starts where we left off last season with the question, “Where is Genesis 2:7 quoted in the New Testament?” This leads on a journey to understand Paul’s message about the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15.
