Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 16 how we know all our sins can be gone. As God provided complete forgiveness annually through the Day of Atonement, so God provides complete forgiveness eternally through the death and resurrection of Jesus.By Wayne Stiles
Here’s a tough question.. What one problem in your life, if it were solved today, would make everything better? We tend to focus on symptoms (pain points) rather than on root causes. We want to fix the problems we feel rather than what causes those problems. In this episode of Live the Bible, we will dig past the surface symptoms to get to a root q…
Wayne Stiles teaches from Leviticus 13–15 that our lives are in God’s hands. Just as one ritual bird died and the other flew away free, we see that our condition could have condemned us, but God has made us whole by His grace. What God requires of us, God provides for us—but we must accept it by faith.…

This episode of Live the Bible teaches us how to respond to the overwhelming favor God has lavished on us. …
Steve Fischer – A joyful journey through PhilippiansBy Steve Fischer
God is love. But He is more than that. The same Bible also teaches that our Lord is a God of wrath. He loves sinners, but hates sin. So how does God choose which attribute to act on—love or wrath? And how can we know if God accepts us—for sure? To discover the answer, this episode of Live the Bible takes us to a surprising place: the Old Testament …

The most common command in the Bible is no big surprise. "Fear not." Easy to say, but tough work to do. Truthfully, some of us don't know how we'll react to fear until we're actually afraid.
