Today we join pastor Thom Keller in Genesis chapter nine. To bring you up to speed, the Lord has just judged the earth through a world-wide flood. Saving only Noah, his family and some animals. Now the storm is over. It’s time for them to step off the Ark and onto dry land. What happens next will serve as a lesson to us all on how to treat our parents or grandparents.

In the history of the debate among God’s people over their relationship to the law the pendulum swings back and forth between strict adherences to a total disregard.

Pastor Thom Keller is surveying the book of Genesis, and today we enter chapter six. Here we’re told that the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose! Their offspring were giants! This displeased the Lord greatly. So who were these sons of God? Not everyone agrees on the answer. While some suggest they were the descendants of Seth, there is good reason to believe they were actually fallen angels.

In Genesis four God appeals to Cain to not become enslaved by sin, and then mercifully after Cain sins God calls him to come clean. There are some very clear and practical lessons to learn from this chapter. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1457/29?v=20251111

We’ve just begun a new study in the book of Genesis. And in chapter four we will encounter the first murder. It’s hard to believe that it takes place sometime after bringing an offering in worship to God. It’s striking to hear of a worshipper of God falling into sin. How does that happen? For some answers let’s join pastor Thom in Genesis four. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1457/29?v=20251111

In Genesis chapter three we read of the fall of Adam and Eve. God gave them a simple command, don’t eat from the Tree of Life. Of course we all know that they did, and what happened as a result. But did you realize the Tree of Life still exists, and one day if you’re a Christian you’ll get to see it in heaven? Not only that, you’ll get to eat from it as well! Let’s join pastor Thom Keller in Genesis chapter three for Study the Word, and consider together where the tree of life is today.

The choices of life have consequences. And that includes the bad choices! We’re in the middle of a series in Genesis. And today our focus is on the Fall and the consequences of sin – such as loss of innocence and a sense of guilt and shame. While this is denied by our culture, they still exist. And we stand to benefit through an increased awareness. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1457/29?v=20251111

We’ll join pastor Thom Keller in Acts chapter fifteen. And at this point in the early church there’s conflict and controversy. Paul and Barnabas have been doing the Lord’s work, sharing the salvation message with Jews and Gentiles alike. But now - they’re facing opposition within their own ranks. There’s room for disagreement in the body of Christ when it comes to non-essentials. But there are some non-negotiables, or what we might call essential doctrines of the faith!In that realm we must be in total agreement. And certainly how a person is saved falls within that territory! Let’s find our place in Acts chapter fifteen where there was a severe deviation from the Gospel message.

God created the world, and everything in it, in six days. That includes you and me. So do we take that literally or figuratively? As you may know there is some debate about that today. Today on Study the Word we’ll see there’s good reason to believe in a literal six days of creation. Pastor Thom Keller will also point out the why behind God’s creation, and how we were created in the image and likeness of God.

Today on Study the Word we take you back to the beginning, when God created the first man and woman.God’s Ultimate Creation.

Why is there something instead of nothing? Since we have life, what is the meaning of it? These are basic questions we all grapple with on some level because we all have a sense there must be meaning and purpose for life. Today’s Study The Word with pastor Thom Keller will help us answer these foundation questions of life. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1457/29?v=20251111

There’s increasing confusion and controversy in our world today of what should be plain. Our creator God exists. You can’t have life from non-life. The very clear design with irreducible complexity presupposes a designer. There are many good reasons to believe and on today’s Study The Word we’ll explore some of them.

What’s right and what’s wrong? And how do you come to that determination? As you may have noticed that’s being greatly debated today. Some say it’s up to us to determine that. The same thing happened during the time of the Judges. And the consequences for doing this are disastrous. Today on Study the Word pastor Thom Keller takes us to Judges nineteen and twenty, where the nation of Israel resembles modern day America. Moral depravity was on the rise, and the nation had sunk low. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1457/29?v=20251111

What makes a good sermon? I think you’d agree there needs to be teaching from the Bible, and it would be a good idea to include the Gospel message too! Paul’s first recorded sermon features just that. It’s a survey of the Old and New Testaments up until that point in time, and also he emphasized the Gospel. It’s a powerful sermon and one we’ll look at today on Study the Word. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1457/29?v=20251111

You can always tell someone that God has chosen because they will seek to live up to the calling on their life even when tested! They’ll also seek to be faithful. However to be faithful often requires a willingness to stand-alone. Today on Study The Word we’ll be inspired to be that kind of person. We begin a new book of the bible today - the Old Testament book of Joshua. And we’ll consider the example of Joshua on today’s broadcast.

It’s been well said, “The will of God will never lead you – where the grace of God cant keep you – and the power of God cant use you.” But we must be open to the Lord’s leading. For most that’s easier said than done. On today’s Study The Word we’ll be provide with some timely encouragement – that will no doubt help. We take you to Acts chapter ten!

In the closing chapter of the book of Acts we find the apostle Paul shipwrecked on the island of Malta.

In this superficial world in which we live it’s all too easy to make careless judgments about others. We can easily forget that while we judge according to outward appearances - God’s looks on the heart. In the book of Acts - chapter twenty-six - we find the apostle Paul on trial once again. His trial will serve as a reminder that we are very prone to misjudge others. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1457/29?v=20251111

We live in a wicked and sinful world that’s getting darker and darker by the day. Yet rather than shining brighter in the darkness -we can become fearful, feeling overwhelmed and intimidated. But you’ll be encouraged to know that even the apostle Paul at times felt this way!That comes to our attention on today’s Study the Word.

It may surprise you to learn that Jesus didn’t leave the responsibility for evangelism with the unbeliever but with the believer. He told his followers to “go into all the world.” But sadly the world in many instances has come into the church, rather than the church going into the world. Today’s Study the Word will provide some fresh inspiration from the book of Acts. It’s there we’ll find the apostle Paul charging deep into the Greco Roman world and culture with the gospel.

In Acts chapter five we come to the famous or should I say infamous story of the sudden judgment of Ananias and Sapphira. God in his mercy is making an example of them so that those who follow won’t face the same mistake. No doubt it will raise our awareness about presumptuous sins – and in particular the very common sin of hypocrisy.
