Life of Paul, Part 41

From the most famous story of moral collapse in all of history, we learn about our vulnerabilities and how to avoid their causing our demise.

If you honor God, He will honor you.

When David saw Goliath from the front lines, he realized it was an opportunity to be used by God. How can we recognize similar opportunities in our lives, and (more importantly) how can we spend our time NOW preparing for when those opportunities come along.

Wanting more of God. Being the friend of God. How to have a living relationship with Jesus Christ -- knowing it is possible; being hungry for it; being willing to pay the price; in time, in honesty, in affliction.

Giving as an act of worship, as an investment. When should I give? Where should I give? How much should I give? With what attitude should I give?

Covers the following topics: the coming of Christ in the Old Testament; the rapture of the Church; the tribulation; armageddon; the millenial kingdom; the new heaven and new earth.

Is eternal damnation real? What about someone who never heard of Jesus Christ? Practical suggestions about witnessing, relying upon the Spirit of God, prayer, using scripture, and emphasizing repentance.

What is prayer? Why should I pray? When should I pray? How do I pray?

What of those who claim to be followers of Jesus, but whose lives aren't what they ought to be? Can we just do anything we want? What about someone who just turns their back on Jesus and walks away? What if I no longer feel saved?

What is eternal security? When does eternal life begin? God's covenant with the believer; the effects of sin; dealing with sin.

The blood of Jesus Christ. Why was His blood shed? Wasn't there some other way?

What the world says about Jesus Christ. The dual nature of Jesus Christ. Is Jesus Christ God? The Bible says so, Jesus says so, Jesus demonstrated it was so. How many gods are there?

The practical implications of Biblical inerrancy -- the Bible has authority over all areas of life, is the secret to successful living, and can be counted upon to build our lives. Eternal damnation is real.

Evidences of inerrancy: changed lives, archaeology, fulfilled prophecy. Objections to inerrancy answered.

What the Bible claims to be. What inspiration is...and is not. Revelation, inspiration and illumination.

The ultimate test: does the Bible prove to be a reliable document. How can we use passages from the Old or New Testaments as a basis for our arguments, if we can't first prove that the Bible is a trustworthy text.

More exploration into whether science can discredit, disprove, or even co exist with Biblical notions about our natural world.

Can the Bible provide an adequate defense to those who discount the Creation story. What about the widely held theory that the universe began with a Big Bang, and not by the hand of a supernatural creator.
