Uncaged Bible Podcast
by Steve Finley
Charles Spurgeon once said ”The word of God is like a caged lion. it does not need to be defended, it simply needs to be let out of its cage.” We aim to unlock the cage and unleash the scriptures from beginning to end to better grasp the authority, beauty and glory of God as He has revealed himself and His plan through the Holy Scriptures.Check our our Church website: https://cometolifebible.church/Download our mobile app:iPhone - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6451267525Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.subsplashconsulting.s_N35VZCIf you want to support us Click the link below:https://secure.subsplash.com/ui/access/N35VZCThank you!

What Jesus Reveals About the Heart of God: Luke 6:1-11
Jesus healed a man, and the religious leaders were furious. Not because anything wrong had been done, but because it happened on the Sabbath. That rage reveals something important: when we place tradition and ritual on the same level as God's Word, compassion gets pushed out. In Luke 6:1-11…

True Faith in a Corrupt World: Genesis 6
In a world where everything seems to pull us away from truth, can we be like Noah? This week's message dug into Genesis 6, one of the most controversial passages in Scripture, and challenged us to think critically about what God is revealing rather than simply following the crowd. Noah lived in a...
-
Prophetic Visions: Zechariah 4-6
What does it look like when God promises to accomplish the impossible through His Spirit rather than human strength? In Zechariah 4-6, we find visions that stretch from the rebuilding of Jerusalem's temple all the way to the return of Christ, and at the center of it all is one name: Yeshua, the...
-
Hidden in Plain Sight: Genesis 5
What if one of the most overlooked passage in the Bible contained the entire gospel message hidden in plain sight? Genesis 5 looks like nothing more than a long list of names and ages. But when you dig into what those names actually mean, something extraordinary emerges. From Adam to Noah, the...
-
Zechariah 1-3
What if God's promises never expire, even when generations fail? In Zechariah, God reminds a returning people that His words outlast every king, every empire, and every human life. The nations that scattered Israel acted with evil intent, and God took notice. He is zealous for Jerusalem, and His...
-
Are You Ready For New Life; Luke 5:27-39
What if the very thing holding you back from Jesus is thinking you have it all together? In Luke 5, Jesus calls Matthew — a despised tax collector — with two simple words: "Follow me." And Matthew walked away from everything to respond. The religious leaders who should have recognized Jesus were...
-
Are you sure you know the story? Cain and Abel; Genesis 4
What if you have heard the story of Cain and Abel your whole life but never really understood what it was saying? This week we dug into Genesis 4 and challenged some of the things that get repeated from pulpits simply because they preach well, not because they are actually in the text. The real...
-
The Book of Haggai
What happens when life gets busy and God gets moved to the back burner? The people who returned from Babylonian exile did exactly that. They came back with passion to rebuild God's temple, but slowly traded worship for comfort and luxury while God's house sat in ruins. Through the prophet Haggai,...
-
Healing and Forgiveness: Luke 5:12-26
Jesus did not have to touch the leper. It was illegal. It was dangerous. But he reached out anyway -- because his purity was more powerful than the uncleanness it met. What he touches becomes clean. That changes everything. In Luke 5, we see Jesus heal a leper, read the minds of the Pharisees…
more -
The Beginning of Redemption: Genesis 3
From the very beginning, humanity tried to cover its own shame — and from the very beginning, it was not enough. In Genesis 3, we see Adam and Eve reach for fig leaves, then hide behind trees, desperately trying to conceal what only God could fix. The truth is simple but profound: the only thing...
-
Zephaniah
The book of Zephaniah confronts us with one of the hardest tensions in Scripture: a God of fierce, consuming wrath and a God of singing, rejoicing love. Both are real. Both are coming. Zephaniah makes clear that the Day of the Lord brings judgment on wickedness -- but it also brings the…
more -
The Right Response: Luke 4:40-5:11
Are you asking Jesus to follow you, or are you following Jesus? That is the heart of this week's message from Luke 4-5, where two very different responses to Christ are on display. The people of Capernaum wanted Jesus to stay and keep making their lives comfortable. Peter, Andrew, James, and John...
-
Eden: Genesis 2
Genesis 2 gives us a picture of what was always meant to be — a world without shame, without hiding, without fear. A world where Adam and Eve stood fully exposed before God with nothing to hide, because sin had not yet entered the picture. That world feels impossibly distant when we look at the...
-
Habakkuk
What do you do when the world around you feels chaotic and God seems silent? The prophet Habakkuk wrestled with that same question, crying out to God over the wickedness he saw in Judah -- and God answered in a way Habakkuk never expected. God's response did not remove the struggle. It revealed a...
-
The Divine Authority and Power of Jesus: Luke 4:31-39
What happens when the spiritual realm collides with the ordinary? In Luke 4:31-39, Jesus is teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum and the people are already astonished at his authority over Scripture. Then a demon interrupts everything, crying out in fear, "I know who you are, the Holy One of...
-
The Beginning of Everything: Genesis 1
Why is there something instead of nothing? The answer is not a what — it is a who. From the very first verse of Genesis, God establishes himself as the only explanation for existence itself: timeless, eternal, omnipresent, and the creator of all things out of nothing. This week we opened the book...
-
Purposeful Prayer Life
Josh Colegrove teaches on #TheLordsPrayer What it means to pursue God and follow the instruction of #Jesus on #Prayer
-
Luke 4:14-30
Don't let yourself lose the awe and wonder of #theGospel #GospelOfLuke #Unexpected #Christianity
-
The Book of Nahum: Wrath and Mercy
What happens when a nation turns its back on God after experiencing his mercy? The books of Jonah and Nahum tell that story across 100 to 150 years -- from a city that repented and was spared, to a city that returned to wickedness and faced destruction. Nahum 1:7 reminds us that God is both just...
-
How to Fight for the Faith: Jude verses 20-25
What tools do you have to stand firm in your faith? The book of Jude closes with a powerful call to action: build on your most holy faith, pray in the Spirit, keep yourself in the love of God, and look toward the eternal hope we have in Christ. Jude also reminds us that reaching the lost is not...
-
Luke 4:1-13
Where do you turn when you are at your absolute lowest? In Luke 4, we see Jesus enter the wilderness for 40 days -- no food, no water -- only to face Satan himself at his most physically vulnerable. Yet every temptation was met with the same response: "It is written." Where the first Adam had...
-
Micah 5-7
What do you do when the enemy reminds you of your failures? Micah 7 gives us the answer: "I will look to the Lord. I will wait for the God of my salvation." Not because we are worthy, but because He is. This week we walked through the book of Micah and found a God who asks a simple question of…
more -
Hold to the Truth: Jude 1:12-19
In his letter to the early church, Jude wanted to write an encouraging message about their shared salvation. Instead, he found it necessary to issue a warning — one that is just as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago. False teachers were creeping into the church, using the name of Jesus to...
-
Judgment, Restoration, and Hope: Micah 1-4
What happens when a nation turns away from God, choosing sin simply because it can? That is the sobering question at the heart of the book of Micah, where God's prophet delivers a message of judgment to both the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel -- a message that echoes loudly in our own...
-
Hidden in Plain Sight: Luke 3:23-38
What if the most boring passage in the Bible turned out to be one of the most powerful? That is exactly what happens in Luke's genealogy of Jesus — a list of names that reveals God's unbreakable plan stretching all the way back to Adam. From the curse placed on the royal line in Jeremiah to the…
more -
Fight against Enemy Invasion: Jude 1:5-11
What happens when false teaching creeps into the church? In his letter, Jude warns believers with some of the most sobering examples in Scripture -- from Korah's rebellion in Numbers 16 to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah -- reminding us that God still judges between the righteous and the...
-
Luke 3:1-22 Preparing the Way
"Repentance isn't just a change of mind — it's a change of everything. Your heart, your lifestyle, turning from what the world wants and toward what God calls you to be." — Luke 3 reminds us: bear fruit or face the fire. He must increase. We must decrease.
-
Contending For the Faith: Jude 1:1-4
What if the most loving thing someone could do is tell you the hard truth? That is exactly what Jude does in the opening verses of his short but powerful letter. He wanted to write an encouraging message about salvation, but instead felt compelled to sound an alarm -- because truth, delivered…
more -
Jonah
What if running from God only proved you could never escape His purpose for your life? That is exactly what Jonah discovered. Sent to preach to Israel's greatest enemy, Jonah fled to the farthest corner of the known world — only to find that God's mercy reaches further than our rebellion. The…
more -
Promise Keeper: James 5:13-20
Life is not always easy, even when you are faithfully following God. The early church knew this firsthand, and James wrote to remind scattered, persecuted believers of something powerful: God has always kept His promises. From Elijah's drought and restoration in 1 Kings 17 to the faithfulness you...
-
The Book of Obadiah
Ever wonder what happens when nations mock God's people and reject their cries for help? The book of Obadiah—the shortest in the Old Testament—delivers a powerful answer. This tiny book tells the story of Edom, a nation that stood by and even celebrated when Jerusalem fell. They captured fleeing...
-
Simeon and Anna; Luke 2:21-38
Simeon and Anna spent YEARS faithfully seeking the Messiah—and when they finally saw baby Jesus, they didn't make it about themselves. They simply pointed everyone to Him, then faded into the background of history. Simeon had been promised by the Holy Spirit that he wouldn't die before seeing the...
-
Seek God and Live: Amos 5-9
"I was no prophet, nor was I a son of a prophet, but I was a sheep breeder... Then the Lord took me and said to me, go prophesy to my people Israel." Amos wasn't looking for a platform. He was a simple farmer who answered God's call to speak truth in dark times. His message? The door is still…
more -
No Room at the Inn; Luke 2:1-20
The universe declares God's glory—yet at conception, all that glory fit into a single cell. Mary's womb had room for the King of the Universe, but when Jesus was born, the world had no room for Him at the inn. This is where the rejection of Christ begins—not at the cross, but in a manger. The...
-
Living for Eternity: James 4:13-5:12
What are you really building your life on? This week's message from James 4:13-5:12 challenges us to examine where we've placed our trust—in the temporary comforts of this world or in the eternal promise of Christ's return. Just like a farmer who tills the soil and plants seeds but waits on God…
more -
The Shockwaves at the Birth of John the Baptist: Luke 1:57-80
Before Jesus took His first breath on earth, the gospel was already being proclaimed! In Luke 1, we witness Zechariah—silent for nine months—finally speak, and his first words? Blessing God and prophesying about salvation through the remission of sins. Here's the beautiful truth: Jesus' story...
-
Humility: James 4:1-12
When we approach God in prayer, are we asking Him to serve us—or are we seeking to serve His will? James 4 cuts straight to the heart: we often ask wrongly, seeking to spend blessings on our own pleasures instead of aligning with God's kingdom. The gap between our righteousness and God's holiness...
-
The Book of Amos 1-4
God has been speaking. The question is: are we listening? This week we dove into the Book of Amos, where God sends a shepherd to warn a prosperous nation that success doesn't equal blessing when hearts have turned away. Israel was thriving—expanding borders, growing wealth, military victories—yet...
-
The Incomprehensibility Humility of the Incarnation: Luke 1:39-56
The God who holds the universe in the span of His hand chose to enter our world as a single cell. Before Jesus took His first breath, before He had a heartbeat, He was already holding all of creation together while developing in Mary's womb. Luke's Gospel reveals something breathtaking: worship…
more -
Wisdom From Above: James 3:13-4:6
How do we measure true wisdom? It's not found in worldly success or recognition, but in humility before God. This Sunday we explored James 3-4, discovering that the wisest among us aren't those seeking applause, but those serving with "meekness of wisdom." We're called to let God's Spirit…
more -
The Book of Joel
The book of Joel delivers a powerful message: even in the midst of judgment, God's mercy is always available. "Yet even now," declares the Lord, "return to me with all your heart" (Joel 2:12). This ancient prophecy speaks directly to our present moment, reminding us that we live in the last days...
-
James 3:1-12
Can you control your tongue? James 3 reminds us that "no human being can tame the tongue" - it's a restless evil that reveals what's truly inside us. When pressure hits, what comes out? When you squeeze an orange, you get orange juice. When life squeezes you, your words reveal your heart. Here's...
-
Hosea 12-14
We conclude the book of Hosea, and find the compassion, mercy and desire for restoration from YHWH.
-
Luke 1:1-25 The Investigation Begins
Joining Luke on his investigation of events in the first century, to understand what happened. Who is Jesus? What did he do? what did that accomplish? What does it mean? #Gospel #Luke
-
Principles of Worship
We discuss the regulative and Normative Principles of Worship and examine modern and ancient practices of the Church, and ask if they are in line with scripture?
-
Hosea 9-11
Ever feel like you're running back to the very things God freed you from? This week's message from Hosea chapters 9-11 cuts deep—revealing how Israel repeatedly chose false worship over the God who rescued them from Egypt. Sound familiar? Here's the beautiful tension: God has every right to…
more -
Hosea 6-8
Have you ever noticed how a campfire needs constant attention—another log, a stir of the coals—to keep burning? But what if your desire for sin burned so hot it fueled itself all night long without any help? That's the sobering picture God paints through Hosea. Israel's idolatry was an...
-
Consistent and Intentional Faith: The Life of Daniel
When everyone else bows to the world's pressures, will you stand? Daniel and his friends were teenagers when they were torn from their homes and thrust into Babylon's palace. Surrounded by pagan culture, offered the king's finest food and wine, and pressured to compromise their faith—they drew a...
-
Working Out Your Salvation: From Betrothal to the Marriage Supper; James 1:21-2:13
Working out your salvation isn't about earning it—it's about preparing yourself with reverence and awe for eternity with Christ. Don't just hear the Word; be a doer. Look in the mirror of God's law, see what needs changing, and participate in His transforming grace.
-
Hosea 4-5
When things are going well, do we drift from God? The book of Hosea reveals a sobering truth: Israel's greatest blessings became their spiritual downfall. The more they prospered, the more they turned to false gods, forgetting the One who gave them everything. God's judgment came not from…
