Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

Daniel 9:24-25

Time is moving towards Christ’s kingdom, but first some major things have to happen. The biggest of these are laid out in Daniel’s seventy weeks prophecy. We want to demystify this prophecy a little bit for you in this episode by providing some historical background and scratching the surface to the literal events that are being represented, especially as it relates to Christ. Join us as we cover the first two and a half verses of this four-verse revelation.

108. Beholding Christ | Studies in Revelation Part 3: Seeing Christ 15:00

לפני 6 ימים15:00

15:00

Revelation 1:7-8 We will all see Christ return to earth, the question is how will we respond. Some will mourn over not believing Christ sooner, others will be angry that God is coming to crush wickedness, and those of us who are saved right now will actually return with Him and watch Him set up His kingdom. So how should we live right now? We should live with trust in God, believing that His way is best and that He will keep His promises. He is eternal and almighty, and nothing can interfere with His designs for human history. Ours is only to trust Him and live for Him.…

לפני 27 ימים15:00

15:00

Revelation 1:4-7 This closing book of prophecy was written in response to the question the disciples repeatedly asked Jesus while He was here. What mercy from God! And yet, how much time do we spend reading and analyzing our Lord’s long-awaited response? We pick up with some information on the Author, the audience, and the announcement in the next few verses. I'm really looking forward to getting deeper into this study!…

15:00

Revelation 1:1-3 I am excited to go through the book of Revelation relying on my education at Christian college and great commentaries such as the one by Clarance Larkin. The purpose of this book is to reveal to us Jesus through His letters to the churches and His revelation to John. There is an unequivocal blessing to those who read, hear and keep these things… if you want it.…

Inter-testamental Period I have these four statements written in my Bible between the books of Malachi and Matthew. These truths are mine! Whatever your silent period might be and however long it might last, you can cling to these four things relentlessly! If this has been a help to you, consider sharing this episode.…

לפני 7 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 4:5-6 In John the Baptist, we learn the encouraging lesson of how to deal with our struggles and doubts. And he may not be the entire fulfillment of this prophecy, the tribulation will tell whether Elijah will be one of the two witnesses in the final days. The alternative to heeding the message of repentance and the hope of the gospel is the curse, which is the last word of the Old Testament. May we heed the law spoken by God’s servant Moses and turn to Christ instead!…

103. Final Words | Studies in Malachi Part 19: The Doubts of John the Baptist 15:00

לפני 9 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 4:5-6 John the Baptist came up back in Episode #97, or Part 13 of this study, where we mentioned his birth, life and ministry, and message of judgment. Today we see him mentioned again (as a type of Elijah) at the end of Malachi. This brings us to Matthew 11:1-15, where we see his doubts of Christ. Jesus lovingly responds by telling the people about John the Baptist and how he fulfilled the prophecy of the coming of Elijah. To those who might be struggling with doubts, this passage teaches us to deal with doubts by (1) looking to Christ - whether it be in the still small voice as with Elijah or in seeing the miracles and teachings of Jesus as with John, (2) not being offended at Christ- Paul said I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, we are called to endure hardness, and (3) quietly serving God where He has you, even if that is in waiting.…

Malachi 4:1-3 The day is coming when we will be tried by fire to see what will really last. And at that time, all that we will have done in this life will be over. The opportunities past. Time will be up. There will be only two outcomes—being consumed away by God’s holiness, or being cherished as a tender calf. The wicked have their day coming, but those who follow God will be refreshed with the healing presence of the Son of Righteousness.…

15:00

Malachi 3:16-18 We didn’t quite get to these final verses last time, but that’s okay because I would love to spend the whole episode today looking at them! This is an interesting passage that mentions such things as God’s book on the righteous and important matters related to end times doctrine, but the greatest reward is being with God. Be mindful of Christ’s imminent return throughout this week. We are trophies!…

100. Final Words | Studies in Malachi Part 16: Accusations, Apathy, and Awards 15:00

לפני 12 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 3:13-16 We look at our last accusation today, statement #8 in which the children admire the works of the wicked. It might seem like a long way away from where we are, but this progression starts small. Don’t get to the point where you are apathetic in your walk with God, it leads to departure from Him altogether. Thankfully, we don’t have to be part of that crowd, we can be the faithful who are described at the end of chapter three, who receive rewards for staying true to God.…

099. Final Words | Studies in Malachi Part 15: God’s Promises to Us and Israel 15:00

לפני 13 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 3:10-12 We are challenged here to give God the little bit that we have (rather than trying to keep it for ourselves) and then see how He will bless us. There is nothing more fulfilling than living for the Lord and trusting His promises. This does not mean life will be easy, but we can depend upon God’s promises to meet our needs, just as Israel can trust God’s promises to make them a blessing and cause the land to be fruitful.…

לפני 14 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 3:7-10 We’re covering questions six and seven in our episode today. And we are learning that when we are not close to God, we are often confused, accusatory of God, and stubborn in our ways. Rather than resorting to these reactions, we should return to the Lord, and we will find that in humble and simple obedience to Him, He will richly bless us with spiritual sustaining grace.…

Malachi 3:1, 4-6 This is the first of two times we will look at John the Baptist in our study through the book of Malachi. John is really a near type of messenger of God and Christ is the ultimate messenger sent from the Father. When Jesus began His earthly ministry, John was subordinate to Him in every way, shifting the focus and the attention onto Him. That is exactly how we should be.…

096. Final Words | Studies in Malachi Part 12: Setting the Stage for Hope 15:00

לפני 16 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 2:17-3:3 After a quick recap of the Lord’s accusations against the Israelites, we zero in on the weariness of God with the people. It is important that we properly understand the indifference and apathy as the backdrop against which God gives hope in the coming prophecy. Jesus shows us God’s faithfulness, justice, and His ultimate desire for restoration. God’s desire is for us to be made righteous so that we can serve Him in a way acceptable to Him. Can’t wait to dig in deeper in the coming weeks!…

095. Final Words | Studies in Malachi Part 11: The Magnitude of Marriage 15:00

לפני 17 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 2:14-17 We close off the chapter by looking at God’s purpose and the beautiful spiritual picture of marriage to represent our union with God made possible through Christ. There are some good lessons on marriage from these verses that we should glean, as well as a warning about divorce or viewing marriage too loosely. Then Malachi closes out with a description of God’s weariness at the people’s apathy and indifference. Looking forward to starting into chapter 3 next week!…

094. Final Words | Studies in Malachi Part 10: When God Denies Offerings 15:00

לפני 19 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 2:10-13 We see two sad realities concerning the children of Israel in today’s verses, their callousness towards each other and their lack of commitment to God. They took awful advantage of one another and they arrogantly refused God’s love and instead pursued a strange woman as it were. These acts were not taken lightly by God. He denied their offerings and did not regard their cries to Him because of their insincerity. May these things not be true of us. May we worship God supremely and repent sincerely so that our service to Him would be acceptable in His sight!…

093. Final Words | Studies in Malachi Part 9: …Which He Ought to Have Loved 15:00

לפני 20 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 2:10-11 Today we are just beginning to look at these verses, and we are seeing that how we treat one another is directly linked to how we treat God, just as New Testament books like 1 John teach. Their cold treatment of their brethren (brethren in a spiritual sense) was connected to their abandonment of God to pursue their own selfish desires. We will continue to unpack these thoughts next episode.…

092. Final Words | Studies in Malachi Part 8: The Covenant of Levi 15:00

לפני 21 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 2:7-11 This rebuke is relevant for us because as New Testament believers, we are all priests. We have been dedicated to God just as the Levites and the firstborn of the Israelites before them. So when we read this indictment, we ought to read it from the viewpoint that it could be addressing us as priests. What are we doing with the covenant of Levi that we have inherited?…

091. Final Words | Studies in Malachi Part 7: Will You Take It to Heart? 15:00

לפני 22 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 2:1-7 I love that God’s Word is personal, its messages are directed to us individually. And it is also sufficient to meet our deepest needs and speak into our deepest problems. The question is, will we take His Word to heart? The Levites of this time failed that question, but it didn’t have to be that way. We can take God seriously. We can share Him with others and be a mouthpiece for truth in our communities. May we pray for strength to do just that.…

090. Final Words | Studies in Malachi Part 6: A Great King 15:00

לפני 23 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 1:12-14 In the final verses of Malachi chapter one, God contrasts the sad condition of Israel with His own greatness. The people are described as defiling and destroying God’s name, calling the table of the Lord marred, and counting God a weariness, and God will not accept their offering. But then we get a glimpse of Him. Perfect, exalted, loving, holy, a great king. May we fix our thoughts on Him and shift our gaze to Him for the year ahead.…

089. Final Words | Studies in Malachi Part 5: Exchanging God for Gain 15:00

לפני 24 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 1:10-11 As we continue to unpack accusations two and three, God traces the root of their problem to covetousness. It is our love for other things that creep in and redirect our love for God that causes us to offer unworthy service to Him, profane His name, and ultimately question His love for us. God shows His people here that their greed and desire for gain is what caused contempt for the Lord to fester. And as a result, God had contempt for the people. In the end, the Lord will be glorified in the earth, the question is will He accept our worship?…

088. Final Words | Studies in Malachi Part 4: Stop Justifying Yourself! 15:00

לפני 25 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 1:6-9 We cover the next two questions against God today. The people’s offering showed what they really thought about God’s name. Their thoughts of God corrupted their service for God. Because they didn’t appreciate His love, they didn’t view Him as a loving Father, and therefore they did not offer Him their best. Are we offering God less than we would offer someone else? We need to stop justifying ourselves and humbly accept God’s assessment of our lives before Him.…

087. Final Words | Studies in Malachi Part 3: Doubting God’s Love 15:00

לפני 26 weeks15:00

15:00

Malachi 1:1-5 When God describes you as having a certain attitude, you do. It is so important that we realize it is only by being near to God that we can actually discover ourselves. We must spend time with Him, not only to know His thoughts towards us, but so that He can reveal our true thoughts towards Him. If you are struggling with knowing God loves you (and you might not have even realized it), just think on the cross of Calvary and let God’s love astonish you all over again. He does love you! And He proved it when Jesus died for your sin. If you would like to hear the poem “Let the Stable Still Astonish” by Leslie Leyland Fields, the Breckenhorst Singers have quite a nice version of it.

086. Final Words | Studies in Malachi Part 2: On Questioning God 15:00

לפני 27 weeks15:00

15:00

Outline of Malachi There are eight rebuttals against the children of Israel in this short book, and God describes the people as having these views: “Wherein hast thou loved us?” (1:2) “Wherein have we despised thy name?” (1:6) “Wherein have we polluted thee?” (1:7) “Wherefore?” (2:14) “Wherein have we wearied him?” (2:17) “Wherein shall we return?” (3:7) “Wherein have we robbed thee?” (3:8) “What have we spoken so much against thee?” (3:13) It is significant that there are eight of them since the number eight in the Bible symbolizes a new era, which certainly took place during the silence that was implemented after this book. We will get into the details more in our next episode as we dive into the first accusation.…

Background to Malachi Welcome to the last words of God before the coming of the Messiah to the world.

Today we lay the groundwork for this book and introduce the theme of these special words from God to mankind.…

15:00

1 Peter 5:5-14 Hope is the thread that runs through the entirety of this epistle, and it goes all the way to the end. In the concluding statements, Peter instructs us believers to continue in the daily disciplines listed here, to understand the duration of our suffering, and to keep our eyes on the final destination. May we be able to say as Paul did that none of these things move us when we are faced with suffering. When we have the hope spoken of here, we will surely be filled with peace as he wishes in his final verse.…

082. Our Living Hope | Studies in 1 Peter Part 25: Suffering—the Command to the Elder 15:00

לפני 31 weeks15:00

15:00

1 Peter 5:1-4 When it comes to pastoral qualifications, many of us turn to 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1, however I have grown to treasure this section in 1 Peter 5 as one of the best passages on God’s expectations for a pastor. Unfortunately, many pastors have “cared more about the mission than the people. And they [don’t] realize that the people are the mission (July Roys Report Podcast ‘The Body of Christ Keeps the Score,’ 28:10).” We need far fewer superhero pastors and far more pastors who are willing to be servants. May we all learn to follow Christ in servanthood, even in our suffering as He did.…

לפני 32 weeks15:00

15:00

1 Peter 4:12-19 The end of chapter four and the majority of chapter 5 contains some of the best condensed teaching on suffering, in my opinion. We have already mentioned suffering several times as we have gone through this book, and I think that is one of the major themes God had in mind for this book. Chapter four closes with some helpful reminders and straightforward charges on how to handle suffering. Next week we will look at the pastor’s role in helping people walk through suffering.…

15:00

1 Peter 4 There is suffering all around us in real, bitter, even sickening ways that make our hearts sink and our stomachs turn. And there are disappointments and hardships and sorrows that we all carry with us. I don’t have the answers to all of the heartaches people face, but I do know that God gives us hope in the midst of all of it. Look to Him in your suffering, He is the source of hope. “Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.” Lamentations 3:19-26…

1 Peter 4:1-11 Before we get into how to handle and deal with suffering, the text takes a look at some benefits to suffering. This in no way minimizes or marginalizes the suffering and pain that it brings, but it does help us to see that God works all things out for good according to His will. May these verses help our outlook and inspire us to live holy separated lives for the glory of God!…

לפני 37 weeks15:00

15:00

1 Peter 3:18-22 The last several verses in 1 Peter 3 are tricky because they involve some deeper theological topics such as (1) Penal Substitutional Atonement, (2) Christ preaching to Spirits in prison, (3) the days of Noah, (4) the figure of baptism, and (5) the authority and power of Christ. We will touch on each of these only briefly in order to get an overview of how the theology ties into the overarching theme of suffering. This episode really lays the groundwork for what we will be getting into in chapter 4. It is also important to note that hope really begins with theology and doctrine. So if we want to learn how to endure suffering, we must start here.…

15:00

1 Peter 3:13-17 Here we see a compelling case to live for the Lord in righteousness, joy, holiness, and the peace that comes from a pure conscience. As believers, we can expect suffering and persecution, but we can still remain joyful and experience God’s peace through the rough times. Though these trials are hard and painful, suffering for well-doing produces sweet fruit unto the Lord. Our responsibility is to maintain a good conscience, keeping God preeminent, and sharing our hope with others irrespective of what we are going through. This is acceptable with God. May we learn to handle suffering graciously, allowing it to sanctify God in our lives and point others to the hope that is found exclusively in him.…

Only when He is preeminent in our lives can we truly live out these results towards others. This section actually has much more to do with our standing with God than with others. Ultimately, it is God’s watchful eye that we should be seeking to please.

לפני 40 weeks15:00

15:00

1 Peter 3:7 This week we are looking at several ways the husband is to show compassion for his wife. He should (1) pursue his wife, (2) prioritize his wife, (3) protect his wife, (4) be present with her, (5) pray with her, and ultimately picture Christ to his bride. His role should be to lift up his wife, recognizing her calling and gifting, and push her to be the godly woman she is called to be. God is the one who instituted marriage and He knows how it is meant to be conducted. Hopefully some of these thoughts are helpful as we each attempt to live for Him in His plan for our lives.…

074. Our Living Hope | Studies in 1 Peter Part 17: The Wife’s Character 15:00

לפני 41 weeks15:00

15:00

1 Peter 3:1-6 This passage focuses on the kind of person a wife should be, it is completely focused on her character above her appearance, possessions, and showiness. This is not how the world typically measures a person’s worth, but it is what God is concerned with. According to this passage, a wife should be (1) arranged under her husband, (2) adorned in the heart, (3) ascribed with humility, and (4) attendant to her husband. The reason I feel confident to speak on these matters even as a single guy is that it is what God’s Word clearly teaches, and the Word of God illuminated by the Spirit of God is sufficient to teach us all things about doctrine and practice. For more on the role of the Holy Spirit’s guiding into all truth, listen to next week’s episode on the Give Attendance to Reading Podcast, where we discuss this topic in greater detail.…

1 Peter 2:18-21 What an encouragement to know that Jesus can relate to all of our suffering! There is a suffering that we are called to endure and a suffering that we should escape from, and we will touch on both of those in this episode. If you suffer unfairness or slight mistreatment, we are called to endure that with patience for the sake of the testimony of Christ. But I want to be clear that God is not calling anyone to stay in an abusive situation. If you are suffering abuse, you need to know (1) God is not okay with the wrong that has happened to you, (2) hope is only found in Christ, and (3) you should get out of that situation no matter how hard it is. Find people to help you leave that situation. We will continue to discuss suffering next week and later in chapter 4 of 1 Peter.…

From that will flow our submission to one another, to the government, and even submission through persecution.

I hope this short episode somehow encapsulates the amazing calling we have as the building of Christ and the awesome responsibility we have as His priests!…

068. Our Living Hope | Studies in 1 Peter Part 11: Taste and See 15:00

לפני 47 weeks15:00

15:00

1 Peter 2:1-3 This is one of the simplest lessons of God’s Word, and yet it has some of the deepest and farthest-reaching implications on our lives. The more we seek and pursue the Word of God, the more we experience the satisfaction and goodness that only God can bring. Trust in God’s promises produces assurance of our salvation produces growth out of the carnal and sinful habits of the flesh produces hunger for God’s Word produces fulfillment in the satisfaction and goodness of God. I hope we can put this simple paradigm to practice in our daily lives. May we taste and see that the Lord is good.…

067. Our Living Hope | Studies in 1 Peter Part 10: Assuring Our Hearts 15:00

לפני 48 weeks15:00

15:00

1 Peter 1:21-25 Here we see a snapshot of the Christian life in four steps: (1) hearing the truth from the Spirit, (2) obeying the truth through belief, (3) purifying our souls from sin, and (4) loving the brethren sincerely. The passage turns from this description of the Christian life and our hope in God to assurance of salvation. God’s Word is the fountain of our salvation (see also 1 John 3:16-24). Our assurance of salvation must be based in God’s Word and in the belief that God will keep His Word. We should ask ourselves ‘what does God’s Word say?’ and then ‘can I take God at His Word?’ or ‘will God do what He said?’ As long as we have been obedient to God in repentance and faith, assurance of salvation is nothing more than resting on God’s faithfulness to keep His promises.…

066. Our Living Hope | Studies in 1 Peter Part 9: The Gospel Brings Us Hope 15:00

לפני 49 weeks15:00

15:00

1 Peter 1:18-21 The ‘Gospel’ seems overused and trite today after it has been featured in the titles of so many mini movements and become a rallying cry in some Christian circles. Many are understandably confused as to what the gospel actually means due to its overuse and misuse. In some cases, the word has been used to mean almost anything. But the Bible gives us a clear look into the original meaning of this word/concept, and we would do well to review the message of the gospel so that we can minister it to others. Thankfully, the influence of the gospel does not lie with us, but in the power of the message itself. It is my hope that, in thinking on the gospel, we will become more motivated to share it with others in God’s strength.…

1 Peter 1:13-17 The gospel is such an unsearchable gem, and as we look at it we are faced with the challenge to not forget the splendor of the gospel, not let it slip, and not neglect to share it. Today we are moving on to the two-part call of the gospel that has to do with soberness. We are called first to hope and second to be holy as God is holy. What a privilege to be called a child of God! May the richness of the gospel inspire us to live hope-filled and holy lives for the praise of His dear Son.…

1 Peter 1:10-13 “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” (2 Corinthians 4:7). God has given us a magnificent treasure called salvation, and that is what we are being reminded of today. The plan of God is something that has been wondered about for thousands of years, especially before history was made on the cross. And now we are the possessors of this highly sought after gem, and the question is what are we doing with it? Are we squandering it or sharing it?…

לפני 1 year15:00

15:00

1 Peter 1:6-9 “The Christian's joy is bound up with love to Jesus: its ground is faith; it is not therefore neither self-seeking or self-sufficient" [STEIGER]. Our salvation carries us through our suffering. So often how we come to know what is real is by going through these times of heaviness and hardship. That is when our faith is refined, being much more precious than gold that perishes. Our security must be found in Christ and not in our relationships, career, accomplishments, possessions, or anything else. None of that is lasting. We must rather look to things above and fix our gaze on our steadfast hope in God.…

1 Peter 1:5-7 As I have thought about last episode, I have come to change my definition of assurance of salvation, and I want to clarify how I think assurance is defined throughout Scripture. I hope this episode gives us a better understanding of assurance before we continue looking at our position in Christ. My hope is that this also challenges you to think deeply about these things. There is nothing more worthy of our meditation than the topic of salvation.…

060. Our Living Hope | Studies in 1 Peter Part 4: Assurance of Salvation 15:00

לפני 1 year15:00

15:00

1 Peter 1:5-7 Caveat: some of my opinions and thoughts expressed in this episode change in the next episode. There is an important difference between eternal security and assurance of salvation. Our eternal security is objective and rooted in God’s unchanging promises, but assurance of Salvation is subjective, depending on our feelings, and prone to change just as our emotions change. Even when we do not feel like it, God is keeping us, and He is ready to reveal us in glory for eternity. So even when we go through times of heaviness and intense trials, God is still in control and He is refining our faith in Him. That is how we can have joy. The key is to continue to have faith in God that He will keep us through the trial and into eternity. That ultimately is our hope.…

Daniel 12:5-13 Season 1 Finale! Our study of Daniel concludes with a great encouragement about our future. We may not understand God’s plan in this life, but we will understand finally. There is coming a day ultimately when there will be no more mystery to the people of God, but we will know God and know His ways. Until then we study and seek after God and ask for wisdom, but on that day we shall know even as also we are known. What a glorious day that will be!

Daniel 11:31-45 History—and prophecy—has a tendency to repeat itself. In the description of the rule of Antiochus Epiphanes, we see parallels to the times we are about to face. But this is not all negative, we are given the task of being testimonies for our Lord in these dark days and we have the promise of His imminent return to motivate us to make the most of this time. Remember that what we hope for determines what we live for. The times are appointed by God, the dates are set. The question is, what are we living for?…

Daniel 11:1-4 As we embark on this lengthy vision, we are reminded that God sees the end from the beginning, even when all we can see is our own perspective. It is amazing to think that much of what Daniel describes in this prophecy has already been fulfilled. This is comforting because we know that all that God has promised will be fulfilled, it is only a matter of time. Enjoy listening to books on Biblical themes from a Christian perspective?

לפני 1 year15:00

Daniel 10:1-21 When it comes to spiritual warfare, we must remember several things: (1) God is sovereign and more powerful than our spiritual enemies, (2) we will face spiritual attack and should be prepared with the armor of God, (3) spiritual warfare can take many different forms including long periods of seeming silence from God, (5) we are not to address the spiritual wickedness, but are to rely on Christ and rest on Him in prayer. Thankfully, God’s love is what ultimately protects us and we have His Word as our guide. Spiritual warfare is not easy and it requires a lot of discernment and faith, but it is a valuable part of the Christian’s maturity and conformity into the image of Christ, so we can find joy even in this.
