School of Ministry Resources Podcast

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast where we examine 1 Chronicles 12:32 and Matthew 16 to teach how to discern the times.  This message contrasts the Pharisees' legalism and the Sadducees' modernism, and pointing to the sign of Jonah as the essential message of Christ’s death and resurrection.
The episode urges spiritual discernment, practical application of Scripture, and a call to live by grace, reminding listeners that now is the day of salvation and encouraging active faith in a world of misleading philosophies.

Welcome to part 2 as we explore Psalms 22–24, (in this reworked message), showing Christ’s work from sacrifice to intercession to coronation. We see Psalm 23 as the Good Shepherd who provides, restores, and protects, and Psalm 24 as the triumphant King of glory.
This episode highlights God’s daily care, new life through Christ, and the promise of eternal fellowship for His children, while inviting listeners to reflect on the Lord’s presence and the offer of eternal life.

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast where we walk listeners through Psalms 22–24 as a single unit, showing in this first part, how Psalm 22 prophetically describes Christ’s suffering, crucifixion, and ultimate victory. The episode highlights themes of abandonment, scorn, solitude, spiritual assault, bodily suffering, and the shift from prayer to praise at the resurrection.
The lesson connects ancient prophecy to the New Testament, explains vivid imagery such as the “scarlet worm,” and invites listeners to reflect on the redeeming work of Christ and how the Bible speaks to our need for salvation today.

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast where we explore Psalm 131.  Consider how David teaches how humility and childlike trust, accompanied with surrender of our lives will help overcome pride, unhealthy ambition, and attitudes of our heart.
The episode encourages believers to hope in the Lord, grow in spiritual maturity, and trust God’s timing and purposes.

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast, where we now examine James chapter 4, verse 1-6, which shows how worldly desires—lust, envy and pride—fuel internal battles, church conflicts, and separation from God. James explains that friendship with the world leads to turmoil both within the person and among believers.
The episode urges listeners to examine their hearts, repent, ask God with humble motives, and rely on God’s grace to replace worldliness with true, peaceful faith.

Welcome to the School of Ministry episode (remastered), on the life of Thomas, often mislabeled "Doubting Thomas," showing him instead as a deeply loyal, grieving disciple. From John's Gospel,  chapters 10–20, the episode retells the raising of Lazarus, Thomas’s despair at Christ’s death, his honest demand for proof, and his moving confession, "My Lord and my God."
The message emphasizes Jesus’s patient restoration, Thomas’s later mission and martyrdom, and practical encouragement for believers facing fear and uncertainty today.

This message takes us through Exodus 34:1–10, exploring God’s self-revelation—"The Lord, the Lord God"—as merciful, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in goodness and truth, and forgiving sin.
The episode explains how forgiveness is offered by God to the repentant, how generational consequences follow ongoing sin, and how Jesus confirms God’s mercy; it closes with an invitation to repent and trust Christ.

In this remastered message we examine James 3:13–18, contrasting earthly, self-seeking wisdom—marked by envy and confusion—with wisdom from above, which is pure, peaceable, gentle, merciful, and fruitful.
The episode emphasizes that true wisdom is proven by conduct, attitudes of meekness and humility, and a life transformed by Christ, urging listeners to let their lives demonstrate the proof of new life through Jesus, Who gives Godly wisdom.

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast. This episode explores Luke’s life and work—his role as a beloved physician, a careful historian, and the traveling companion of Paul—and explains why Luke is recognized as the author of both the Gospel of Luke and Acts.
In this message, it emphasizes Luke’s commitment to accurate research and his theological focus of God's provision of salvation for all people: Gentiles, outcasts, women, the poor, and the oppressed. The episode traces Luke’s prologue to Theophilus, his sources, and his purpose of presenting Jesus as God’s plan of salvation available for everyone.

Welcome to School of Ministry Podcast, where in this episode we explore the last chapter of the Book of Jonah.  Throughout the book, we find God extending His great care and mercy, but when His prophet is told to go to Nineveh, he does not want God to be merciful to these Assyrians.  Jonah has such extreme hatred and prejudice toward these people that he would rather die than see God be merciful to someone else.  He is angry at most events in this book, until God does something for him.
God uses questions at various points in the Old Testament to cause those to whom they are asked to examine themselves.  The Book of Jonah ends with God asking a question that is unanswered to help us apply the message in our lives.  Join us for this very interesting episode!
