A Mustard Seed & Leaven

In Matthew 17, Jesus teaches that if one has faith "as small as a mustard seed", he can move mountains. So when He gives the parable of the mustard seed that grows into a giant tree, that must also be a great thing, right? Not so fast. In our latest episode, we explain the actual, ominous meaning of this parable as well as the one that follows it in Matthew 13 – a chapter containing no less than seven key parables that all mature Christians should understand.

Not Everyone Will Enter

“Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved," says Romans 10:13. Anyone who calls Jesus "Lord" must have the Holy Spirit, according to 1 Corinthians 12:13. Yet in Matthew 7, Jesus tells a story of people calling on Him and calling Him "Lord," yet He tells them, "I never knew you; depart from Me." How can that be? Give us 20 minutes, and we'll explain.

A Sin Leading to Death

Romans 6:23 says that “the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” In other words, we believe that the blood of Jesus saved us from the consequence of our sin, which is death. Yet in one of his letters, the Apostle John writes of a sin that can lead a believer to death. What did he mean? Well ... got 20 minutes?

The Word of the Cross is Foolishness

In his first letter to the Corinthians, the Apostle Paul makes a shocking statement: "the word of the cross is foolishness." The obvious question that arises: to whom? The obvious answer ... is not what you might think. Got 20 minutes?

Rewarder of Those Who Seek Him

The curious phrasing of Hebrews 11:3 led to this week's 20-Minute Bible Study. It says "the worlds were prepared by the word of God." Many have used this to teach that God spoke the universe into existence. But what it actually means will surprise you.

The Kingdom connection comes later, in verse 6, which contains the promise that God rewards "those who seek Him." Plus, this chapter of Hebrews contains the so-called "Hall of Faith," which we also discuss. Needless to say, it's a jam-packed lesson!

He Is Able to Save Forever

Our founder, the late Pastor Gary T. Whipple, used to say that it would be correct to state: You have been saved, you are being saved and you will be saved. In our latest 20-Minute Bible Study, we explore a passage from the book of Hebrews that helps explain what he meant by that. We also discuss what the Bible has to say about the priest-king Melchizedek (depicted with Abraham above).

Confess with Your Mouth, Believe in Your Heart

The Apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 2 that we are saved by grace through faith and not as a result of works. Yet in Romans 10, one of the most well-known salvation passages in all of Scripture, he says you must confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord in order to be saved. Isn’t that a work? Answering that question is the aim of our latest 20-Minute Bible Study.
