Wednesday In The Word

What happens when the man who once persecuted the church becomes one of its greatest proclaimers? In this episode of Wednesday in the Word, Stu Epperson and Dr. Sam Horn explore Galatians 1:11–24 and Paul's powerful testimony of transformation. Paul makes clear that the gospel he preached was not a message created by man—it was revealed to him by Jesus Christ. Together, they examine Paul's dramatic conversion, his calling to preach to the Gentiles, and the incredible way God redeemed his past for His purposes. His story reminds us that no past is beyond God's grace and that Christ must first be revealed in us before He can be revealed through us.

The book of Galatians has been called the "Battle Cry of the Reformation" and the "Magna Carta of the New Testament." In this first episode of our study through Galatians, Stu Epperson welcomes Dr. Sam Horn for an introduction to this powerful six-chapter letter and a deep dive into Galatians 1:1–10. Paul wastes no time defending the purity of the gospel. He establishes his authority as an apostle, reminds us that the gospel is centered on the finished work of Jesus Christ, expresses astonishment at the Galatians' departure from the truth, and delivers a sobering warning against any gospel that adds to or distorts salvation by grace through faith. Dr. Horn walks through four key themes in the opening verses: Authority, Astonishment, Anathema, and Ambition. Together, they challenge believers and leaders to understand the gospel clearly, guard it faithfully, and live with one holy ambition—to please God and serve Christ rather than seek the approval of people. As we begin this journey through Galatians, we are reminded that the gospel is not ours to redefine. It is a sacred trust to embrace, defend, proclaim, and live

In this week's Wednesday in the Word, Stu Epperson and Dr. Carson explore a challenging but deeply practical passage: 2 Thessalonians 3:6–12 and the biblical dignity of work. Paul commands believers to live orderly lives, work diligently, and avoid idleness and meddling. Through Paul's own example, the discussion examines the difference between being unable to work and being unwilling to work, the responsibility of Christians to provide for themselves and their families, and the church's role in compassion and accountability. The conversation also explores how our work can become a powerful witness for Christ. Whether you are an employee, employer, stay-at-home parent, or ministry leader, your daily work is an opportunity to glorify God and serve others with excellence. Key themes: the biblical work ethic, diligence, responsibility, church discipline, Christian witness in the workplace, serving others, and finding purpose in our daily work. Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:6–12; Ecclesiastes 9:10; Ephesians 2:10; Ephesians 4:28; Colossians 3:23–24; Proverbs 12:27; Proverbs 16:26.

In this episode of Wednesday in the Word, Dr. Sam Horn and Stu Epperson explore 2 Thessalonians 3:1–5, where the apostle Paul humbly asks fellow believers to pray for him. Together they unpack four powerful prayer priorities: that God's Word would spread with power, that the Lord would protect His work from spiritual opposition, that believers would continue in joyful obedience, and that their hearts would be anchored in the unchanging love of God and the steadfastness of Christ. This encouraging conversation challenges listeners to move beyond self-focused prayers and embrace a gospel-centered prayer life that advances God's kingdom and deepens confidence in His faithful love.

In this episode of Wednesday in the Word, Stu Epperson welcomes Dr. Dwayne Carson for a rich study of Nehemiah 12:27–47, where God's people gather to dedicate the rebuilt walls of Jerusalem with joyful worship. Together they explore how revival begins with prayer and God's Word, why spiritual preparation is essential before worship, and how true dedication is ultimately about giving ourselves fully to the Lord. From the purification of the priests to the joyful songs that were "heard afar off," this conversation reminds us that worship is more than music—it's a life surrendered to God. Join us as we discover how dedicated people become joyful worshipers, generous servants, and faithful witnesses to the glory of God.

What happens after the walls are rebuilt? In this episode of Wednesday in the Word, Stu Epperson and Dr. Sam Horn explore Nehemiah 10–12 and reveal that the real focus of Nehemiah is not construction—it is spiritual renewal. As the people of Jerusalem respond to God's Word, they move beyond emotion and repentance to decisive action. They sign their names to a covenant, recommitting themselves to obey God, prioritize worship, support the work of the temple, and live as His distinct people. Through these chapters, we discover timeless truths about commitment, obedience, worship, and faithfully serving where God has placed us.
