BSL020 The Rise of David
August 08, 2019 20:16 - 19 minutes - 13.8 MBFor all kinds of obvious reasons, David was the wrong choice to be Israel's king. He had none of the credentials.

BSL019 King Saul
July 09, 2019 19:10 - 45 minutes - 14.3 MBThe story of King Saul is not a happy story filled with wonderful people who faithfully trust in God.

BSL015Gideon
March 13, 2019 16:00 - 56 minutes - 17.5 MBIt's tempting to look at ourselves and believe everything we see.

BSL014 Joshua
March 12, 2019 16:00 - 44 minutes - 13.8 MBAs unlikely as it was for Moses to become Israel's leader, it was equally unlikely that Joshua would replace him.

BSL011 Red Sea Crossing
January 14, 2019 14:59 - 24 minutes - 34.3 MBGod gives his people salvation so spectacular it would overwhelm all of their senses. It was something so beautiful that it saved them, and so improbable that they could hardly believe they were still alive to see it. It's the same way with the death and resurrection of Jesus: so beautiful because it saves us, and so improbable that we can hardly believe we are still alive to see it.

BSL999 The Magi
January 02, 2019 17:33 - 24 minutes - 33.7 MBEverything about Christmas is strange. A son is born to a virgin girl. That's about a strange as anything can possibly be.

BSL009 God Chooses Moses
November 19, 2018 20:27 - 21 minutes - 29.1 MBFrom the courage of Jachobed who chose adoption to save her baby boy to the bizarre burning bush that wasn't burning to the common sense of Jethro who sent Moses on his way, the story of God's salvation for an entire nation of Israelites begins with incredible drama. In this episode, we especially focus on how God prepares Moses with faith because if he's going to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, he's going to need to trust in God to get it done.

BSL007 Jacob Israel
October 30, 2018 18:34 - 24 minutes - 34 MBJacob was that kid who keeps stealing things from his big brother's bedroom when he wasn't looking. Hardly the type of person you'd expect God to care for.

October 17, 2018 21:30 - 22 minutes - 30.9 MBAbraham means, "Father of a Multitude". But how would God make a huge family for Abraham when his lovely wife Sarah couldn't have any babies? Maybe God was talking about a different kind of family. Genesis 12 through 21
BSL004 The Flood
October 11, 2018 14:52 - 25 minutes - 34.7 MBThe great flood story is a pretty harrowing reminder of the importance of trusting in God for salvation. What might surprise you, though, is the special promise God makes after the waters have subsided. Genesis 4 and 6-9
BSL003 The First Sin
October 05, 2018 18:13 - 26 minutes - 36.3 MBMore than a "fall", the Bible's depiction of the first sin is more complex. We hear the story of the first time God's creation is misused.
