A Nation Under God, Part 3

Romans 8 Today on The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice, we’ll look at a passage that delivers great news by unpacking an important sequence of events that began in eternity past. And we’ll learn what our belief in the hope of the gospel today has to do with Joshua and Caleb’s mission into the promise land all those years ago. Thanks for joining us for this powerful, practical study of Romans 8.

Romans 3 In an impressively rich, yet condensed presentation of Christian theology, one single chapter of Romans sums up the entire gospel. Today on The Bible Study Hour, Dr. Boice will teach on this incredible chapter, which he refers to as the very “heart of the Bible.” We’ll get a theology lesson and learn why trying to earn salvation is like attempting to pay for groceries with monopoly money.

Psalm 1 Consequences. Judgment. Accountability. It’s no secret that these aren’t especially popular terms in our modern age of tolerance. But the Bible isn’t shy about our what God requires of us -- and it’s a calling that comes with instructions, standards, and a metaphorically narrow path. Thanks for tuning into The Bible Study Hour today as Dr. Boice unpacks the Biblical secret to the “good life.”

Luke 2 December’s not the only good time to remember the birth of our Savior. Today on The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice, we’ll consider how a lowly stable became a holy place in an amazing story, full of wonder and paradox. We’re about to find out the best way to celebrate the most famous birthday in the history of the world, as we study the narrative contained in Luke chapter 2!

Psalm 23 If you’ve ever suffered though a trying time, then you can probably relate to David’s description of the “valley of the shadow of death” in Psalm 23. But even during those times when we feel most threatened, there are four essential things that we will never be without. Today on The Bible Study Hour, Dr. Boice will walk us through the important promises packed into that famous Psalm!

Isaiah 53 Today on The Bible Study Hour, we’re kicking off a new series entitled, “Great Chapters of the Bible.” Thanks for joining as we take a look at Isaiah 53 - a powerful prophecy concerning an unlikely Messiah. Dr. Boice will help us study the chapter with a five part assessment and we’ll find out why theologian, Karl Barth, claimed that the most important word in the entire Bible is a preposition.

Nehemiah 13:1-31 Perseverance is the mark of a true leader. The ability to never give up in the face of insurmountable difficulties marks that leader, and Nehemiah proved himself as faithful in the end as he was in the beginning of his calling. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he concludes his study of the life and work of Nehemiah and his quest to restore the sabbath, Jerusalem and its people.

Nehemiah 12:27-47 Along with tears there are times of rejoicing.  Along with struggles there are times of triumph--as in Jerusalem, where all has been completed and it’s time for celebration!  Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as we see Nehemiah setting the stage for the final phase of his great achievement.

Nehemiah 11:1-12:26 We have been in the midst of a rapid urbanization of our world. People have been moving to the cities in increasing numbers, and the trend is likely to continue. Nehemiah, on the other hand, had just the opposite problem as the rebuilding of the city was completed. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he presents Nehemiah’s plan for repopulating the city…and applies those principles to the Christian presence needed in our cities today.

Nehemiah 9:38-10:39 Why is it that, with all the advantages we have as Christians…the programs, the services, the books and the conferences…most of us make such small gains in living the Christian life? The answer is that we really don’t want to change and we’re content with where we are. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he contrasts our present condition with the state of the Israelites in Nehemiah’s day who embraced change through the winds of revival.
