In 1 Corinthians 15, we are introduced to the oldest segment of our New Testament. Paul is delivering to the Corinthian brethren a very old creedal statement that probably dates back to 39 AD or even earlier. This is significant because Christ was probably crucified in 33 AD. Some scholars think this statement found in 1 Corinthians 15 dates back to within two years of Jesus's crucifixion.

In John 21 we witness Jesus's third post resurrection apprearance to the disciples. In this fascinating story we will see Peter receiving forgiveness and a new commision while around a charcoal fire. Listen to hear about the significance of that charcoal fire.

In this Psalm, David laments Israel's massive moral decline. It seems that no one is righteous in their actions. He laments how some are taken advantage of and are mistreated. David has confidence that God will be their refuge and that God will set things right.

In today’s episode we travel to Calvary with Jesus. We witness the love of Christ as he dies willingly as our sacrifice.

James presents Abraham as the example of one with faith that works. Faith that is not manifested in obedience is not true faith.His faith was completed or "fully grown" by his works.

Some have wondered why Abraham was willing to go through with the sacrifice of Isaac. The Hebrew writer fills in the blanks by letting us know that Abraham believed that God could raise Isaac from the dead. Abraham had a belief in the life giving power of God.

Genesis 22 is one of the more challenging and moving passages in the Bible. God gives Abraham the greatest test of all by asking him to offer his only son, the son he loves, back to God as a burnt offering. God was never going to allow Abraham to go through with this, but Abraham proves to God that he is obedient and faithful. In this story we see a picture of the cross of Jesus.

Psalm 13 is a psalm of lamentation. David is crying out, asking the question, "How long, O Lord?" David is in great distress and wants God to act. He will end this Psalm with a quiet confidence in God's faithful love.
