  • Bible Teaching For Today

    This podcast is a good way to learn Bible principles from an authentic teacher who loves God and loves the Bible. Pull up a chair and open your Bible (NKJV or NIV or whatever version you prefer) maybe get a Pigma Micron Pen 005 to mark in your Bible some significant notes. Good Podcast with the Bible Applied To Daily Life. Currently in The Book of Acts around Chapter 19-20. (August 19, 2025)

    Please add back the specific Bible book each episode covers. It was so helpful when I wanted Pastor Smith’s teachings to supplement my own reading. Now, I cannot find anything. Not a great decision to implement this change.

    Life in Antioch

    Love the teaching of Pastor Chuck. God led me to listen to him in the 70's after experiencing other teachers that taught things that were not correct. Bob Mumford and Derek Prince at the time. Thanking God for taking care of me and showing me the right path.

    I really love the current intro by Kathy Parish snd Love Songs "lil country church" Great change.

Q: Why didn't God intervene and miraculously deliver James?
The ways of God are beyond our finding out, and while God could have delivered James, He allowed James to fall prey to Herod's sword for reasons we may not understand.
The Torturing of Jesus
Q: What shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?
This question is one that each individual must face, relating directly to their faith and belief in Jesus.

Q: Are you the Messiah?
