BibleTalk with Jeff Asher

Thou Bearest Record of Thyself (John 8:13-32)

Jesus continues His discourse with the Jews answering their question: "Who art Thou?" 

Before Abramham Was I Am (John 8:48-59)

The Jews continue the ad hominem attacks against Jesus slurring His parentage and questioning His sanity. Yet, Jesus does not deviate from His purpose to honor the Father and warn His detractors of their eternal peril. Jesus bravely affirms, "God is My Father and I will not deny Him." 

Habakkuk 3:1-19

The prophets publishes a psalm for Israel to sing in during the ensuing judgment. The God that brought Israel up from Egypt and dispersed the nations before them, the God of their salvation whose goodness they have received, but now spurned to their shame, will bring the nations against them. Judah must wait on God and endure their chasenting knowing that in His wrath He remembers mercy.    

Habakkuk 2:4-20

God answers the prophet. Once Judah has been chastened God will turn in judgment upon wicked Babylon. He will not allow them to make a full end of Judah as a nation, a remnant will return and fulfill God's purpose. God speaks great words of assurance: "The just shall life by his faith...the Lord is in HIs holy Temple, let all the world keep silence."

Habakkuk 1:12-2:4

Habakkuk does not understand how God can use a nation more wicked than Judah as an instrument of His just judgment. The prophet is conserned that Babylon will utterly destroy the nation; this threat unsettles the prophet's hope and stirs doubt. But, Habakkuk purposes to wait patiently for God's answer.

Habakkul 1:2-11

Habakkuk troubled by the wickedness of his contemporaries and concerned for the promised future of the nation cries out to God for justice. God answers the prophet, but these answers just pose more questions in the prophet's heart. 

Bible Answers: Can We Pray to Jesus?

Jesus taught His disciples to pray: "Our Father which art in Heaven..." And, the Apostle Paul taught us to sing and pray " in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Do these words constitute a model or a form which our songs and prayers must follow? What does it mean to pray to the Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ?

Heaven Is Real!

There is much that we cannot know about Heaven; however, we can be confident that Heaven is real. Peter gives four proofs from the life of Jesus which ought to bolster the believer in HIs convictions the home of the soul. Listen as Jeff Asher considers these from the words of 1 Peter 1:3-13.

The Truth Shall Make You Free (John 8:32-47)

Jesus continues to dialogue with the Jews in the Temple on the day after Tabernacles concludes. As the Light of the world He offers them the truth which can set them free. However, they think they have no need of freedom and certainly nothing He can offer as truth.

The Valleys of Life

We all must pass through difficult times. However, God is always with us. In this lesson, Jeff Asher considers "the Valleys of Life," the dark and diffcult places we come to as we pilgrim in "this low land of sin and sorrow." What does the Bible say about doubt, disappointment, discouragment and dispair, and finally, "the valley of the shadow of death"?
