Dr. Barnhouse & the Bible

Romans 12:1 When you study the Bible and come across the word, "therefore", it is always a good idea to ask, "What is it there for?" When the Apostle Paul uses the word "therefore" at the beginning of chapter 12, we must realize he is building on what he's taught in previous chapters. Listen to Dr. Barnhouse to find out how Paul's prior instruction lays a solid foundation for Christian ethics and godly living on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 11:23, 24 The Gospel of John declares that Jesus came unto His own, but His own did not receive Him. The religious leaders and the people of Israel overwhelmingly rejected their Messiah and today the majority of Jews continue to reject Him. Will Israel continue in unbelief or will there come a day when they acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Messiah and King and be restored? Find out on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 11:19-22 In the days following Peter's sermon on Pentecost, the church was almost exclusively made up of Jews who believed in Jesus as their Messiah. But ever since Peter preached the gospel to Cornelius and his family, Gentile believers have made up the overwhelming majority of God's redeemed people. Does national Israel still have a role to play in God's plan for the future? Listen to Dr. Barnhouse to find out on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible. 

Romans 11:16-18 You may wish you could be related to some famous person, but you cannot simply graft yourself into that person's family tree.

If you believe in Jesus Christ, you too are a part of the olive tree made up of Jews and Gentiles throughout history who have trusted in the Lord for salvation. Dr. Barnhouse shares this encouraging message on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 11:12, 15 Middle East peace summits have discussed the possibility of Israel surrendering territory to the Palestinians or the surrounding Arab nations in exchange for peace.

What does God's word teach about Israel's restoration? Tune in to Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible to find out. 

Romans 11:11-15 A star baseball player will not be cut from the team if he is injured. The manager can keep him on the bench as a pinch hitter and get a player from the Minor Leagues to fill his position. If they win the World Series, both players will be champions. God has not cast off Israel, but has set them aside for a time so that the Gentiles might receive the riches of salvation in Jesus Christ. Dr. Barnhouse preaches about Gentile blessings on Dr. Barnhouse & the Bible.

Romans 11:7-10 If clay begins to dry, it can become so hard that a potter cannot use it anymore. But if it has not completely hardened, the potter can add moisture and work with the clay until it becomes soft and usable.

Romans 11:5-6 There is no such thing as a married bachelor. Marriage and singlehood are mutually exclusive and the man is either married or unmarried. According to the Bible, salvation by grace and salvation by works are mutually exclusive systems. You cannot have salvation by grace + works. It must be one or the other. Dr. Barnhouse asks, "Does your hope of salvation rest in God's grace alone?" on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible. 

Romans 11:2-5 As he fled for his life from Jezebel, the prophet Elijah came to the place of utter despair. It seemed to him that the entire nation had turned away from God and that he alone had remained faithful, but God replied that he had reserved for Himself 7,000 men who had not bowed the knee to Baal. The Lord knows His own and He is able to preserve them by His power and grace. Dr. Donald Barnhouse encourages us with these truths on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 11:1 Years ago, the King of Prussia challenged his chaplain to prove that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. The chaplain replied with one word: "Israel."

Romans 10:20, 21 Centuries ago, the arms of Jesus Christ were stretched out upon a wooden cross as wicked men put him to death by crucifixion.

Romans 10:19 Charlotte Elliott was a respected member of English higher society, but one day a minister told her, "Without Jesus Christ, you are just as lost as the worst prostitute in all of London."

Romans 10:18 When did Christianity begin? Most people would probably say that Christianity began with the birth of Jesus Christ. But in Chapter 10 of Romans, the apostle Paul sets forth an astonishing truth: that the gospel had been known for hundreds of years before Christ.

Romans 10:17 The human ear has three tiny bells called the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup. Each of them must function together in order for you to hear. Three essential spiritual elements must work in conjunction in order for you to be saved: faith, the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit. How do these work together to convert a lost sinner into a child of God? Dr. Barnhouse answers this question using Romans 10:16 on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible. 

Romans 10:16 The gospel of Matthew records that Jesus was moved with compassion for the multitudes because they were weary and scattered like sheep with no shepherd. Believers should be filled with joy when others come to Christ, but we must also be filled with compassion for those that do not know him. Do you try to lead unbelievers to Jesus, the Good Shepherd? Listen as Dr. Barnhouse teaches from Romans 10:16. 

Romans 10:14 As they spread the gospel far and wide, the apostles often walked for long distances on rough, dusty roads. Their feet would have been smelly, caked with dirt and covered with callouses.

Tune in as Dr. Barnhouse brings a message from Romans 10:14, "How Beautiful the Feet."

Romans 10:14 Jesus commanded his church to go into all the world, preach the gospel, and make disciples of the nations. We know this as the Great Commission.

Today on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible, Dr. Barnhouse poses the question, "Are you committed to reaching lost sinners with the gospel of Christ?"

Hear more about this important promise on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible. 

Romans 10:12, 13 Anyone can claim to be a Christian, but it is vital that you actually possess a relationship with Jesus Christ and not merely profess to have one.

Tune in to hear Dr. Barnhouse's message entitled, "Lord of All" on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.
