In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we learn about the day God rested from creation, and the day which was institutionalized by Moses among the people of God. What did it mean and are we still expected to cease from...

We are faced with thousands of decisions, conscious and unconscious, every hour. One psychology source says we make as many as thirty thousand choices each day. Though every decision has some consequence, most are not measureable. Some, however, determine the trajectory of our life and even our eternal soul. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we talk about three of the most vital decisions you will ever make. Be sure you m...

Without faith it is impossible to please God and the just shall live by faith. Christians, after the order of Paul, walk by faith and not by sight. These affirmations are plainly stated in scripture.

Life, for many people, is a unending pursuit of happiness. The search usually leads them in search of pleasure and prosperity. Is this what happiness is all about? Does God even want us to be happy in this life? Perhaps that seems like an odd question but it's one that many people ask and many more make false assumptions about. Some attempt to justify sinful decisions by claiming that God wants us all to be happy. After all, if s...

How many opportunities has God graciously given you to repent? The long history of humankind is the story of God unfolding His plan to redeem sinful man through the channel of those who were called His people. They were given more advantage and opportunity than any other people on earth. However, Jesus vividly illustrated how the religious leaders of His day rebuffed the overtures of God. In His riveting parable, He reveals Himse...

Can something that is free cost us something at the same time? Eternal life is the gift of God given by His grace. We have not and will never do anything to merit His favor and the salvation He provides. There is a paradox for us to consider though: this gift does not come without cost. In the broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we learn about the high cost of providing and receiving the gift of God. ******* Hear more messages a...

One of the scribes who questioned Jesus in the final week of His earthly ministry stands apart from the others. While most of those pious religious leaders querying the Christ that day were hard of heart and a great distance from God, this man impressed the Lord. Jesus said, "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God." What brought him so near? Many are in the same condition today. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we lea...

In this impactful episode titled "Sin," Allen Bailey tackles a fundamental concept in Christian faith: the nature and implications of sin. Drawing from Hebrews 4:15, Bailey contrasts Jesus' sinless life with humanity's frequent yielding to temptation. He argues that a significant barrier to spiritual growth and salvation for many is simply not recognizing their own sinful state, often stemming from a superficial understanding of ...

When the Apostle John was transported by the Spirit to the judgment before the Great White Throne, he beheld books being opened, including but not limited to The Book of Life.

Delving into the Apostle Paul's earnest counsel to young Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:11-16, Bailey unpacks the profound call to personal spiritual diligence.

In this compelling message titled "The Cross and the Crown," Robert Kornegay delves into the often-overlooked reality that suffering is an integral part of the Christian walk.

Our culture often casts aside that which is old and shuns any path that seems too familiar. We see the ancient as irrelevant. The Word of God, however, tells us to reconsider.
