In this episode we look at God’s command to His people to ask, seek and knock. We look at why He tells us to do so in this order and how we can apply this command in our prayer life. We look at each individual part to see what they each truly mean in our daily lives and how this formula for praying successful prayers is necessary for us to understand to take our prayer life to the next level, so we can both have a greater understanding of God’s Word and greater effectiveness in advancing God’s Kingdom!

In this episode we look at the prophecy of plowshares and pruning hooks and see how the enemy took these tools that God gave man to make them into things that divide and pit us against each other, even turning us into swords and spears but then we see how God, in His goodness and graciousness, reverses that prophesy and turns us into productive, creative people with great tools that can change the world and greatly advance the Kingdom of God.

In this episode we go in depth looking at the account of Jacob’s deception of his father Isaac and we look at a parallel passage hiding in an unsuspecting place. Although reading in English we can easily miss it, in Hebrew we look at the many connections that exist between Jacob’s deception and the Ten Commandments and see what this connection and his deception can teach us today!

In this episode we look at what the Bible tells us about blessings and being blessed. We look at how we’re not just called to have and enjoy these blessings but go further and become a source of blessings for the people around us. People around us should be blessed simply because they’re around us!

In this episode we look at how there’s an abundance of teachers in the Church today but also a severe lack of spiritual fathers. This isn’t unique to our own time, Paul warned the early Church of the same issue. We look at what separates teachers from fathers and see why it’s so important and necessary that we ask God to raise up spiritual fathers in our lives and in the Church and thank Him for the ones we already have in our lives!

In this episode, we look at the vision that Obadiah had concerning Edom. It's easy to pass right by Obahdiah because it's such a short book but it's packed with amazing verses that both shed light on the history of God's people and on our lives today. We trace the history of Edom back to see what led up to them appearing in Obadiah's vision, we see what set the course that they'd later walk and then we find how they were acting in the vision, how they willingly and brazenly came against God's people and went out of their way to oppose them. Then we trace them forward to see how their history progressed. We look at how the enemy influenced them and how that same pride that they indulged in, plagues many people today. We need to avoid the pitfalls that Edom fell into and instead humble ourselves before the Lord, trusting God to go before us and give us the victory!

In this episode we look at the account of Paul getting bit by the poisonous serpent while shipwrecked on the island of Melita. We look at how it happened and what the initial reaction of the natives were. We see how we see the same reaction from people in the world today. We then see how Paul's survival and his power over the serpent shows us the power that we have over the enemy and his attacks. It shows us the power of the Gospel to overcome all opposition in this world. We then look more closely at just what our power over the serpent means for us today and how God preserved Paul that day for a reason. He was going to go on and accomplish important and amazing things for the Kingdom and God is preserving us today for the great things He has ahead for us!

In this episode we look at the very first mention of love in the Bible and we see how that foundation set the tone for how love would be understood throughout scripture. We see the love of God on full display on Calvary and we see how God’s love influences our lives. We also look at His command for us to live in love and the even more difficult command to love our enemies. As we live in love we point the world around us to the God we serve, the God who is love!
