Bible Study - The Book of Jonah

In this Bible Study episode, Pastors Nathanael Mayhew and Neal Radichel take us into the Book of Jonah.  Jonah is unique in many ways to the other prophets in the Old Testament.  The LORD gave Jonah two clear commissions, or commands, in which Jonah shows disobedience to God and prejudice against those to which God sent him.  Begin to explore the depths of this short book and understand more about the LORD's divine discipline and correction, His divine power and protection, and His divine purpose and mercy.  Hear how Jesus demonstrates how the "sign of Jonah" would be evidence of His absolute power over the bellies of Sheol.   Jonah's message is clear.  But its a message he himself also needed to be reminded that, "Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs" (Jonah 2:8).  Listen for yourself and decide whether Jonah was a Misfit or Missionary, and how the Word of God reveals how you may be like Jonah in more ways than you think!

Bible Study - Genesis

In this Bible Study episode, Pastors Nathanael Mayhew
and Mark Tiefel take us into the very first book of the Bible, the Old Testament book of Genesis.  This book is foundational for the rest of the Old and New Testaments and gives an answer for many of the big questions of life.  How did life begin?  Why is there sin in the world?  Why are there so many languages?  and many more.  They
talk about the reliability of this important book and the main
purpose, which is to show that God worked through and in History to fulfill His plan of salvation for the human race in the person of Jesus Christ.  We pray that this study is insightful and rewarding for you, and we encourage you to pick up your Bible and study it again for yourself.The Holy Spirit will bless your study!

Bible Study - The Gospel of John

In this Bible Study episode, Pastors Mark Tiefel and Nathanael Mayhew
take us into the Gospel of John.  John's Gospel is different than the other three Gospels.  He emphasizes that Jesus is true God and records miracles and words of Jesus that reinforce that truth.  John points out that Jesus was God, but that He came in the flesh to give His life as the sacrifice needed to redeem sinners.  Jesus is "The Word," "the Lamb," and "the Messiah" and more.  He is also the Great "I AM" of the Old Testament, Jehovah Himself.  Jesus says He is the I AM, Yahweh.  John points to these I AM statements of Jesus throughout His Gospel to show that Jesus was Yahweh.  The Jews recognized what Jesus was saying and wanted to kill Him because He had blasphemed by calling Himself God.  John also makes a connection between Jesus and Life.  Jesus is Life (John 14:6), and the Life that Jesus brings to the world through His death and resurrection is received by us through faith. 

Bible Study - Ecclesiastes

In this Bible Study episode, Pastors Neal Radichel and Nathanael Mayhew
take us into the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes.  For many people this is a very confusing book, but in this study they discuss the how to dig into this valuable book and how to properly understand it.  They talk about Hebrew poetry and how it is used in this book.  The main purpose of this book is to show that any life that is lived apart from God is worthless, no matter what that person might achieve.  It is only through our relationship with God and the salvation He has won for us in Christ that we find purpose in this life, as well as in the life to come.

Bible Study - The Gospel of Mark

In this Bible Study episode, Pastors Neal Radichel and Nathanael Mayhew take us into the Gospel of Mark.  In this study they discuss some of the similar features of all four of the Gospels and why God inspired four different writers to record the life and ministry of Jesus.  They will also take a look at Mark, the man who was the writer of this Gospel, as well as a closer look at unique features of the Gospel of Mark.
