Bible Study Company: Podcast for Pewsitters

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist Christ teaches His disciples what it means to be great in His eyes. With childlike dependence on Him and an obedient heart, we can become great. Watch as Jesus teaches, then demonstrates, childlike faith.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #maryandmartha As Christians, we often find ourselves choosing performance over God's purpose without even realizing it. In this episode, we discuss how to discern the difference between serving God and serving our own perceptions of what we think God wants. Are we truly choosing the better portion in our service to the Lord? Please consider helping us grow by donating to keep Bible Study Company free for everyone at https://biblestudycompany.com/#.

#Bible #Biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist In this passage, Jesus demonstrates his divine power by instructing the disciples to catch a fish, saying they will find tax money in its mouth. Do we truly listen to and obey Christ, even when we believe that what he asks is impossible?

#Bible #Biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist In this podcast, BSC discusses the story of Jesus and the Transfiguration on the mountain. Moses and Elijah appear, and three disciples want to build a tabernacle for each of them. We often risk placing Jesus on the same level as great prophets without even realizing it. Join us as we discuss how to serve Jesus and hold him in the high esteem that belongs to God.

#Bible #Biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #KeystotheKingdom In Matthew 16:19, Jesus tells His disciples that He will give them the keys to the kingdom.

#Bible #Jesus # Biblestudy Join us for an engaging online men's meeting with Bible Study Company as we explore the valuable lessons from the story of Mary and Martha. Your insights and participation would be greatly appreciated as we delve into this meaningful discussion!

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #matthew16 In this podcast, we explore the questions Jesus posed to His disciples: 1. Who do people say I am? 2. Who do you think I am? The human mind can easily be influenced by others' opinions of who God is, as well as by our own understanding of God's truth about His identity. Jesus will help us discern the difference between human opinion and divine truth through Scripture and our relationship with Him.

#Bible #Biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #Spiritual We must be careful not to take scripture out of context when reading. Our physical minds can trick us into accepting things that aren't biblical while thinking they are spiritual. For example, the disciples misunderstood Jesus when he warned them to be on guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. They mistook his warning for a concern about forgetting to bring bread. We often let our physical circumstances overshadow spiritual truths. Join us as we explore Matthew 16, part 2.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #disiple Our attitude before the Lord is important. When we approach Scripture, do we ask God questions or do we question God? The same applies to our prayer life. God will reveal the answers to our questions, but we must remember to ask with the understanding that He is the Creator, and we are His creation.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #provider Christ is our healer and provider. In this episode, we discuss our brokenness and the importance of maintaining faith that God is in control and will supply our needs.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #godsword In this episode, Ric and Mary discuss the reasons behind our belief in God’s Word. We must examine God's Word alongside our hearts and feelings to discern the truth, especially in times of conflict. When we feel offended by what Scripture teaches, we need to turn our minds toward God rather than relying on our own thoughts.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist In this episode, we explore why Jesus wasn't concerned about offending the Pharisees. As followers of Christ, we are called to hear and understand God's word, which is a command. We should examine our hearts and reflect on what comes out of our mouths. Together, we discuss what truly defiles us.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #jesuschrist #thelawofchrist In this episode, we explore how the Pharisees could challenge Jesus, the very one who gave the law. We’ll also consider what it means to live faithfully in our everyday lives and walk in the path Jesus has called us to follow.

When Jesus walked on the water, the disciples were afraid until they were close enough to recognize Him. The description of Peter stepping out of the boat and beginning to sink when he took his eyes off Christ serves as a powerful example. It illustrates how being grounded in God's Word helps us keep our focus on Christ rather than on ourselves. In this episode, we ask: Do we truly place our full weight and trust in God's Word and what it actually teaches? Or do we try to interpret God's Word through our own understanding?

#Bible #Biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #FeedingThe5000 In the book of Matthew, it is written that Jesus had compassion for the people who followed Him and healed the sick. Do we truly understand that all our needs are met when we place our full trust in Him?

#bible #Biblia #jesus #johnthebaptist Do we prioritize pleasing God in our daily lives over pleasing the world?

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #disciples #discipleshipjourney In this podcast, we learn that we are sons of the Kingdom if we have ears to hear and hearts that are willing to submit to Christ and follow Him.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #mustardseedfaith #kingdomofgod In the teachings of Jesus, the concept of faith as tiny as a mustard seed is both profound and transformative. Join us for a wonderful discussion.

#bible #Biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #WheatAndTares #GoodFruit In this discussion, Ric and Mary explore the difference between wheat and tares as described in Matthew 13:24-30. They reflect on how to maintain a heavenly perspective in our everyday lives and how to discern whether we are like wheat or tares. Being born again enables us to see the distinction between our relationship with the world and our relationship with our Creator. Our hope is to bear good fruit for Christ.

#Bible #Biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #HearingGod

Are we receptive to God’s call in a broken world? Do we understand His message, and are we willing to take action to fulfill His will? In this episode, we discuss the obstacles that prevent us from hearing God and growing in our faith. What can we do to cultivate good soil so that we can produce the fruits God calls us to bear?

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #faith #goodsoil In Matthew 13, Jesus begins to speak in parables about the sower and the different types of soil. This theme connects back to the garden motif that runs throughout scripture. What distinguishes the sower from the seed? Who is granted the understanding of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven through these parables?

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #podcast #spiritualfamily In this episode, we're exploring Matthew 12:50, where Jesus reminds us that whoever does the will of His Father is like family—our brothers and sisters in Christ. How can we foster relationships with loved ones who have not yet found their faith while remaining true to God's will? Join us as we examine Matthew 12:46-50 to shed light on how to navigate this meaningful scripture.

#jesus #bible #biblia #godswill #JesusChrist #miracle Do we sometimes overlook God's miracles, even when they are right in front of us? Often, we focus so much on trying to make things work with our own strength that we fail to acknowledge what God has done in our lives. Join Ric and Mary of Bible Study Company and learn about the many blessings we have in Christ.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #spiritofgod #podcast #divineauthority Jesus says, "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." Do we truly understand the divine authority of God and how the Holy Spirit works in our lives to help us discern between good and evil?

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #praiseworthy #godswill In this podcast, we will discuss how we can find healing in the circumstances that the Lord brings into our lives. Through these experiences, we will learn how to live a praiseworthy life amid challenges.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #jesus #discipleship The analogy of the grain field from Matthew 12 highlights that following Christ often leads us into spaces where our own "hunger" becomes apparent, prompting a deeper reliance on Him. In His comparison, the infant's dependence is particularly striking. It suggests that spiritual maturity isn't about becoming more independent, but rather becoming more intentionally dependent on the Word for nourishment. Join BSC as we discuss how our position in this world bears little to God if you don't have a heart that is broken and contrite to Him.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #discipleshipjourney #disciples Do we bend to the opinions of others like a reed swaying in the wind? Jesus imparts profound lessons to His disciples about what it truly means to follow Him. In the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 11, verses 28-30, He extends a heartfelt invitation, saying, "Come to Me, all who are weary, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." We invite you...

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #discipleshipjourney #truthseekers Ric and Mary delve into what Christ instructed His disciples to do. He first came to teach and preach, and then He instructed them to do the same. If we are to be true disciples of Christ, we must learn to rightly divide His work, learn from what His Word says, and then replicate what He has called all disciples of Christ to do. Are we under God’s government or the world’s? This is a question we all need to ask ourselves.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #christmas #podcast #christianholidays Join Ric and Rob as they discuss the biblical roots and worshipful dimensions of Christmas. Rob explained how his book, “Full of Grace and Truth: The Bible Roots of Christmas,” and its study guide were developed to focus on worship and theology. They agreed that Christmas can be understood as thoroughly biblical and addressed common misconceptions about its supposed pagan origins. Ric also highlighted what he sees as an unprecedented level of attack on Christmas.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #matthew10 Jesus told His disciples, "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; therefore, be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves." In this episode, Bible Study Company will discuss the significance of these four animals and the lessons Jesus was imparting to His disciples before they set out. We will also explore how we can apply these characteristics to our lives for effective discipleship today.

Our discussion discusses the call of Matthew, a Levite who was not walking in the call of his tribe, which was to serve the priests and teach people the Bible truths. Instead, he chose to serve the Romans. Jesus called Matthew, and He left his job with the Romans collecting taxes. Matthew holds a dinner with many sinners and tax collectors who were trying to follow Jesus too. (Mark) Some Pharisees protest his eating with sinners. Jesus begins to teach the people at the dinner that God wants compassion and mercy. The study unfolds and is surprising to many...

#biblestudy #podcast #healing #jesuschrist #jesuschristourlord #matthew9 Today, we are discussing what it means to put faith into action. What kind of faith did the woman who touched Jesus' garment possess that led to her healing? Should we focus on the actions we must take to be healed by Jesus, or is it more about believing in Him as He claims to be and trusting in His purposes beyond ourselves?

#biblestudy #podcast #jesus #jesuschrist #biblestudy #marriage #matthew9 Ric and Mary from BSC have a fascinating discussion about the Galilean wedding, which they describe as a representation of the marriage supper of the Lamb. They also explore our relationship with Christ and how we organize our lives to align with His will.

We are concluding this Men's Series on Jesus Christ our Lord's Sermon on the Mount. We will begin again in Matthew 8

In His sermon, which is very powerful, He is correcting the poor, conclusive teachings of the Pharisees, which helped misguide the Jews to false conclusions about the law, AND AWAY FROM THE LORD.  

Instead of teaching the law of Moses (the first five books of the Bible), they taught their interpretation of the Bible; as such, they teach commentary! They called this the "traditions of the fathers". Not the tradition of their Father in H...

#jesuschrist #biblestudy #healing #salvationinchrist #truth Matthew 9, part 1, Ric and Mary from Biblestudycompany.com discuss how sin can leave us feeling paralyzed. They emphasize that Christ comes to heal all who are broken, but we must open our eyes to the divinity of Jesus in order to experience this healing.
