He Lives

John 20:11-16 Despite Easter being a joyous occasion, many are discouraged and disillusioned with personal problems and world events. But no matter how deep our discouragement, it cannot compare to the disillusionment experienced by Christ’s followers in the time between His crucifixion and resurrection. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he takes a deeper look at the faith that—for some--died with the Savior.

John 20:1-10 One of the greatest evidences of the resurrection of Jesus was the empty tomb, but one of the startling facts about it was that the tomb was actually not completely empty. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he examines the evidence left behind in the “not quite empty tomb”.  

Matthew 28:11-15 The soldiers assigned to guard the tomb of Jesus knocked on the door of the chief priest. They had failed in their duty to keep the tomb sealed and the body inside and now they expected their just rewards. The response they received, however, left them in utter astonishment. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he details the Jewish leaders' surprising response to the guard’s failure to carry out their mission.

Matthew 27:62-66 Pilate must have smiled within as the chief priests and pharisees made their request to secure the tomb of Jesus. After all, if Jesus was in fact dead a seal and guards weren’t necessary, and if He was indeed God, those precautions would be laughable. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he takes us to the tomb of Christ...(and muses over Pilate’s instructions to make the tomb “as safe as you know how.”).

Matthew 27:62-64 Sometimes the Gospel is better understood by those who are NOT followers of Jesus! Consider those who carried our His execution, and the measures they took to prevent His resurrection…while the Lord’s closest followers failed to comprehend what would happen on “the third day.” Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour: preparing you to think and act biblically!

John 11:25 A letter from a prominent Roman to Cisero on the event of his daughter’s death offered deep sympathy but noticeably lacked an important element. That now-famous letter offered no hope in its consoling words for a life beyond the grave. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he reflects on death and our sure hope of a life hereafter.

Job 19:25 Have you ever received an insight or revelation so important that you wished it could be remembered forever? If so, you might identify with Job as he proclaimed, "I know that my Redeemer liveth and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth." Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he explores the depths of Job’s revelation of the coming of the Messiah.

Revelation 21 We can plan for our immediate future and we can contemplate our earthly calling, but as believers, we can’t talk about our ultimate destiny without talking about heaven. This week on The Bible Study Hour, we’ll learn all about the “New Jerusalem” - a city that is defined by God’s presence, characterized by peace, and secured by the same one who grants us access to it - Christ himself! 

1 Corinthians 13 We can be knowledgeable, eloquent, wise and charitable, but the true measure of our spiritual state is not determined by any of these impressive characteristics. Today on The Bible Study Hour, Dr. Boice will offer us a simple, two-question test that can identify the mark of any true believer. Let’s continue our series on “Great Chapters of the Bible” with a look into 1 Corinthians 13.

Matthew 5 Of all the teachings, parables and sermons our Lord presented during his time on earth, there’s probably none better known than the beatitudes. But while it’s one of the most well-known passages of Scripture, it’s often the most misunderstood. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he seeks to reveal Jesus’ motives and meaning behind the well-known blessings we know as the beatitudes.
