Impossible to Restore

We continue our examination of the foundational parables of the Kingdom with the Parable of the Marriage Feast from Matthew 22. In this episode, we explain: - Why the first half of the parable is about Israel, and the second half is about the Church. - What the “wedding clothes” represent, and why lacking them can lead to the outer darkness. - The crucial difference between being “called” and being “chosen.”

What is the true meaning behind the Parable of the Minas in Luke 19, and why do so many people confuse it with the Parable of the Talents? In this episode, we are doing a deep dive into the scriptures using the Berean way to uncover the profound mysteries of the Kingdom. We also unlock the “Master Key” from Luke 8, explore the historical context of a mina of silver, and highlight the distinct differences between the Minas and the Talents (Luke 19 vs. Matthew 25). So grab your Bible and your notebook, and let’s study!

"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize?" Paul writes in 1 Corinthians. "Run in such a way that you may win." This raises an interesting question: Win what? Our salvation? But doesn't Paul also say in Ephesians that salvation is a gift? The answers to these questions and more are in our latest episode.

In this 20-Minute Bible Study, we answer a reader question: "Is/was the person in Hebrews 6 a real Christian/believer? If not, why not? How is Hebrews 6 not in strong disagreement with the Doctrine of Eternal Security?"

"Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures...But when God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us...Because of His grace He made us right in His sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life." (Titus 3:3-5, 7) The book of Titus is a little pastoral letter in the back of the Bible that's easy to miss. Yet it has some great advice from the Apostle Paul for church leaders, and it also reinforces a few key doctrines and kingdom truths. In this 20-Minute Bible Study, we dive in.

"Tell me, you who want to live under the law, do you know what the law actually says? The Scriptures say that Abraham had two sons, one from his slave wife and one from his freeborn wife. The son of the slave wife was born in a human attempt to bring about the fulfillment of God’s promise. But the son of the freeborn wife was born as God’s own fulfillment of his promise." (Galatians 4:21-23) The Bible teaches that every believer has two natures: the old, fallen nature of Adam and the new, perfect nature of Jesus Christ. What this means is that, in a sense, Christians are bipolar. We explore that idea in this 20-Minute Bible Study.
