    Love & Justice (Joshua 12)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Feb 14, 2025
     | 236 views

    If God is the giver of life, is He alone just if He takes it? Let's begin in Joshua 12.

    Does a loving God punish unjustly, or do we trust Him and His eternal perspective, that He has provided in some mysterious manner, in love and justice for all who have died innocent or guilty? Let’s begin in Joshua 12. As we read over this memorial list of conquered kings east of the Jordan River, ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Feb 15, 2025
     | 393 views

    As Israel conquered the land, are we to conquer hearts? Let's begin in Joshua 13.

    As an imperfect nation conquered land but still had much that remained, has an imperfect church still many hearts to conquer? What inheritance do we look forward to? Let’s begin in Joshua 13. Was there land to conquer that had been left out of the conquests to date? Now Joshua had reached old ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Feb 15, 2025
     | 306 views

    Does God reward faith? Let's look at Joshua 14.

    Are there great rewards on earth and in heaven for those who trust God in faith, no matter the outward circumstances? Let’s begin in Joshua 14. Were the Levites a special case, where their great responsibilities did not allow them time to care for a normal inheritance in the land? Now these are ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Feb 16, 2025
     | 306 views

    Does God care about the details of our lives? Let's start in Joshua 15.

    Why does God go into such detail regarding the tribe of Judah’s inheritance? Do small villages, that we might consider insignificant, matter to God? Do we matter to God? Let’s consider Joshua 15. What was the southern border of the tribe of Judah? The clans of the Judah tribe were given land that ...read more

    Joshua's Inheritance (Joshua 16)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Feb 18, 2025
     | 242 views

    Could Joshua's inheritance foreshadow our eternal inheritance? Let's begin in Joshua 16.

    As Israel received various inheritances, will we? Will some be priests, kings, mayors of cities, some rewarded tenfold, some fivefold? Let’s look at Joshua 16. Did Ephraim and Manasseh choose their inheritance or was it by lot? The lot fell to the children of Joseph from the Jordan, by Jericho, ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 16, 2025
     | 227 views

    Why did God have Paul address governor Felix.

    Did Paul’s imprisonment enable him to share Christ with the Governor? Does persecution have a divine purpose? Let’s review Acts 24. What were the high priest’s accusations about Paul before Felix the governor? And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and a spokesman, ...read more

    Are we willing to go to dangerous places for the Gospel?

    Did Paul’s enemies bring him before another governor? Are we willing to enter dangerous places for the Gospel? Let’s look at Acts 25. After Antonius Felix left office, did Paul appear before Porcius Festus? Festus then, having arrived in the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 18, 2025
     | 196 views

    How would you preach the Gospel to a government official?

    Did Paul’s trials lead him to higher and higher government officials? Are we willing to suffer so that the Gospel may reach more people? Let’s look at Acts 26. How did Paul begin his defense before King Herod Agrippa II? Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” So Paul gestured with ...read more

     | 263 views

    Will God protect us?

    Does God often protect the faithful? Even in martyrdom is our eternity protected? Let’s review Acts 27. What happened as Paul began his voyage? How kind was the guard Julius? Now when it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a ...read more

     | 239 views

    Would we have courage to tell the Emperor about Jesus?

    Was Paul released, but later possibly rearrested and executed? Despite opposition, did Paul preach to both Jews and Gentiles in Rome? Are we willing? Let’s look at Acts 28. Where was Paul shipwrecked? Did a snakebite harm him? When we came ashore, we learned that the island was called Malta. The ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 24, 2025
     | 146 views

    Does the longest genealogy in the Bible lend historical credibility to scripture?

    Does the longest genealogy in the Bible (1 Chronicles 1-9) teach us that humanity really is one large family? Do these family trees lend credibility to the historical accuracy of scripture? Did the male roles evident in these genealogies hurt or strengthen families? Let’s begin in 1 Chronicles ...read more

    Paul's Authority

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 29, 2023
     | 676 views

    Did Paul just go about his missionary work without checking with others in the broader church to make sure that his message was orthodox?

    The letter to the churches in Galatia describes a problem that still exists today, how they had fallen backwards from the grace of the Gospel into outward works of the law like circumcision. Thus, the theme of Galatians is justification by faith in Christ’s death and resurrection apart from the ...read more

     | 694 views

    What did Paul teach about the law and faith? Let's look at Galatians 2.

    Paul was directly taught by the resurrected Jesus, but did not act like a rebel. Instead he cooperated with the Apostles before him.

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 3, 2023
     | 1,065 views

    Are we justified by grace or lawkeeping? Do Jesus and Paul contradict each other?

    Paul explained how we are justified by grace, not works of the law. How did we receive the Holy Spirit? You irrational Galatians! Who put a spell on you? Jesus Christ was put on display as crucified before your eyes! I just want to know this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works ...read more

    The Two Covenants

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 6, 2023
     | 985 views

    How does an analogy between two sons help us understand the old and new covenants?

    Living under the law of Moses was like a child under a tutor, or like a slave. How does Paul explain this? Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave, although he is owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father. ...read more
