  • At the Zoo—Lamb
    2024/09/11

    We’re starting a new series called “At the Zoo.” In this series, we’ll be exploring the characteristics, the activities, and the symbolism of the top ten animals in the Bible.

    In this first episode, Dr. Bruce Becker will explain why he considers the lamb to be the #1 animal in his top ten list. There is an Old Testament reason and a New Testament one. And they both have something in common.

  • War Zone—Satan's War
    2024/07/10

    A red dragon wants to devour a newborn male. War breaks out in the spiritual realm. Satan is defeated but continues to wage war against the members of Christ's church.

    In this episode, Dr. Bruce Becker will unpack Revelation, chapter 12 that describes Satan's grand plan to take out Jesus and his work, to defeat Christ's church, and to assault the members of Christ's church. NO FEAR! With his death and resurrection, Jesus defeated Satan for all eternity and he promises to keep us safe until he returns on the Last Day.

  • War Zone—Right Gone Wrong
    2024/06/26

    Lying isn't all that serious, is it?

    In this episode, Dr. Bruce Becker takes us to a war zone involving Ananias, Sapphira, the apostle Peter, and Satan. This is the third war zone in this series where we see Satan influencing human hearts. Satan tempted Ananias and Sapphira to lie about something that was initially good and right. Sadly, we hear about the consequences of their lie and how God may have used it to bless the early church.

  • War Zone—Judas' Judgement
    2024/06/12

    The devil is like a skilled boxer. He has a one-two punch.

    In this episode, Dr. Bruce Becker takes us to Jerusalem during what we know as Holy Week. During that week, "Satan entered Judas" on two different occasions to influence Judas to betray Jesus. Dr. Becker will explain what that refers to and how it is different from the many examples in the New Testament of demon possession. If Satan can enter into people, how do we keep Satan from entering us? By staying connected to Jesus!

  • War Zone—War in the Wilderness
    2024/05/22

    The devil never plays fair. He likes to serve up his temptations when we are the weakest.

    In this episode, Dr. Bruce Becker takes us to a desert war zone where the devil tempted Jesus who was fasting for a period of 40 days and 40 nights. Although the devil tempted Jesus throughout the 40 days, both gospel authors, Matthew and Luke, focus on three specific temptations. With each temptation, Jesus relied on the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, to counter the devil's assaults. When the devil tempts us, remember that the same sword of the Spirit is in our hands too.
