Whether you are personally trapped in a cycle of substance abuse, or you are a pastor trying to help someone else, you need more than just behavioral management. You need biblical, theological help - which we find in the biblical passages examined in this podcast.

Turn The World Upside Down
The Gospel is not toothless.
The Gospel is not weak or defenseless.
As Spurgeon said – it is like a ‘lion.’
What do you do with a lion?
You set it loose.
In today’s text, we’ll see an example of this from Acts 17.
Questions That We’ll Answer:
A) What opposition did Paul and the apostles face?
B) What was the true (spiritual) source of that opposition?
C) What effect does the good news have upon a fallen world?
Speaker: Dr. Toby Holt

David, Goliath, And The Gospel
Goliath was a monster.
This man was a giant, a beast; the Devil’s own proxy.
But God had His own champion.
He sent a shepherd from Bethlehem to crush the monster’s head.
Does that remind you of anybody else?
In today’s study of 1 Samuel 17, we’ll see the Gospel in OT clothing.
Questions That We’ll Answer:
A) In what ways was Goliath a proxy for the serpent?
B) What other types or shadows are in this chapter?
C) How do Gen. 3, Rev. 13, and 1 Samuel 17 connect?
Speaker: Dr. Toby Holt
