School of Ministry Resources Podcast

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.

Welcome to the School of Ministry Podcast where, in this remastered message, we walk through Revelation chapters 5 and 6, explaining the Lamb taking the sealed scroll, the significance of the seven-year timeline from Daniel, and how the opening seals lead into the judgments of the four horsemen.
The episode emphasizes God’s power and control amid war, famine, pestilence, martyrdom, and the great earthquake, and urges listeners to understand the prophetic timeline and be spiritually prepared by accepting Jesus Christ as Savior now.

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!

Welcome to this remastered episode from the School of Ministry.  In this message we walk through John 2, examining Jesus’ dramatic cleansing of the temple and we ask whether this public act is a miracle, a judgment, or both. The Apostle contrasts Jesus’ holy anger against corrupt, commercialized worship with the compassion shown in other miracles, and explains how this event reveals Christ’s authority and warns of judgment beginning in God’s household.
The episode closes by applying the lesson to believers today, urging personal examination as we are the living temple of God and calling listeners to pursue reverent, genuine worship.

Welcome to the School of Ministry Podcast where we examine James 3:5–12, as he uses vivid imagery of fire to show how the tongue—though small—can defile the whole person, spread destruction through gossip and slander, and be influenced by the old nature and the devil. In this remastered episode, we trace Biblical parallels and historical examples to highlight the danger and reach of sinful speech.
Yet the episode also points to hope: the child of God, transformed by the new birth and led by the Holy Spirit, is called to a sanctified tongue that praises God and blesses others, with an invitation to accept Christ to avoid the eternal consequences of a real hell.

Welcome to the School of Ministry Podcast, where this remastered study in James chapter 3, explains how the tongue reveals the heart, why teachers face stricter judgment, and how controlling speech demonstrates true, living faith. Using images like the bit in a horse's mouth and a ship's rudder, the episode shows both the destructive and constructive power of words.
Practical takeaways include preparing carefully before teaching, measuring speech against Scripture, and relying on the Holy Spirit to tame the tongue so words build up rather than tear down.

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast with this remastered episode, we explore Jesus' teaching about the sparrow to show God's care for the hurting and lonely ones. Using passages from Matthew, Luke, and Psalms, we learn how God notices even the 'odd sparrow' — the marginal, forgotten, and hurting — and our Kind, Gracious God, invites all to anchor their souls in Christ, to find comfort in His care, and share His Love while being a blessing to others.
