One Gospel Minute

Two times a year, the world talks about Jesus—Easter and Christmas—but the truth about remembering Him is not found in tradition. It is revealed in His word. While many observe a yearly celebration of the resurrection, the New Testament does not teach it. Instead, it points to a weekly remembrance of the risen Savior every first day of the week. To misunderstand how and when we honor Christ is to miss what Scripture plainly reveals about worship, the resurrection, and the Gospel itself.

Many people have ideas about what God is like, but the truth is not found in human opinion—it is revealed in His word. The Bible teaches that God is eternal, unchanging, and far above the shifting thoughts of men. To misunderstand God is to misunderstand everything that follows, including life, suffering, and salvation.

Rather than shaping God into what we want Him to be, we are called to know Him as He truly is. Tennessee Bible College is offering an After Dark course, The Attributes of God, to help you study these truths more deeply an...

People often search for something new, even in matters of worship and service to God. In ancient Athens, people spent their time wanting to hear the latest idea, and our world is much the same today. Yet God has already given us what we need through His word and warns us not to add to it or take away from it. Instead of changing God’s doctrine or the practices He has revealed, we are called to follow His will faithfully and live according to the truth He has given.

Wake up. The hour is later than we think. In this episode of One Gospel Minute, David Hill invites you to RENEW 2026, a day of focused Bible study and spiritual renewal on Saturday, February 28th at 9:00 AM on the campus of Tennessee Bible College. Centered on Romans 13:8–14, the program highlights Paul’s call to rise from spiritual sleep, walk in the light, and put on the Lord Jesus Christ in daily life. RENEW is Tennessee Bible College’s annual lectureship, established in 1980 by Malcolm Hill and Thomas Warren, and for decades has brought respected gospel preachers to campus to streng...

Social media says 2026 feels like 2016 again. In 2016, at our RENEW Lectureship, the theme was “Revisiting the Battle…” as we studied the struggle with modernism, denominationalism, moral impurity, and false doctrine — but the truth is, the battle never left. And in 2026, the question isn’t just what are we fighting? It’s who is responsible? Romans 13:14 says, “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ.” The battle is real, but responsibility is personal. 

Join us for RENEW 2026: “My Responsibility” (Romans 13:8–14) on February 28 at Tennessee Bible College, and view the full schedule and details at https://www.tn-biblecollege.edu/renew/.

Jesus’ illustration of the wise man building his house on the rock, given at the close of the Sermon on the Mount, is more than a familiar children’s song—it is a serious call to obedience. Speaking to adults, Jesus taught that true wisdom is found in hearing His words and doing them. God’s Word is truth, and those who build their lives upon it stand firm.

Just as Jesus, the apostles, and Timothy were equipped for the work, so every preacher must be trained to handle the Word with care. The need is great, the fields are ready, and the Gospel still asks: How shall they hear without a preacher?

A lot of people say they believe the Bible—but their actions tell a different story. They read it, quote it, even carry it around, but don’t always live by it. The truth is, God’s Word isn’t confusing. It can be understood if we read it honestly, reason through it, and stay consistent. The Bible speaks clearly: one body, one Spirit, one faith, one baptism, one God. That’s the gospel—and it doesn’t need to be rewritten, just lived.

Practical atheism is professing belief in God while living as if He isn’t real. Many Jewish priests, including the Sadducees, rejected essential spiritual truths even as religious leaders. In Jeremiah’s day, people claimed to worship God but shamelessly practiced sin, convinced they had permission. That mindset is still common today. Will you follow God wholeheartedly by obeying the Gospel of Christ, or are you simply part of a Christian social club?
