The Bible Study Hour

Romans 12: 4-5
There’s no mention of the church in the Old Testament and in fact, the word church is used rather infrequently in the New Testament. But the word “body” on the other hand is used often because it reflects what the church really is. Join Dr. James Boice as he explores the true identity of the church on The Bible Study Hour. 

Romans 12:3
As our study in Romans 12 progresses, Paul moves from the subject of the Christian life to the Christian’s relationship with other believers. As he exposes the sin of pride, the enemy of those relationships he calls for a radical mental adjustment on the part of the Christian. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he shows that the right estimation of self will result in harmony with the brethren and glory going to God.

Romans 12:2
The world’s will for us based on the world’s thinking sounds right and reasonable at face value: money equals happiness, success is the path to satisfaction, what makes me feel good must be right. Alternatively, God’s will for our lives doesn’t sound quite so attractive: humility, sacrifice, and service to others. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he shows us that walking in God’s will is, in the end, the path that brings true joy and satisfaction in the life of the believer.

Romans 12:2
If you eliminate God from the universe as humanists tend to do, then man assumes the role and becomes the measure of all things. In light of that, you may be surprised to learn that the Bible also describes man as much more important and valuable than any humanist might imagine, but with one major caveat. Dr. James Boice explores the value of man and the value of others on today's episode of The Bible Study Hour.

Matthew 28:11-15
The enemies of Jesus learned about the resurrection before His followers did. The soldiers charged with guarding the tomb found it empty and feared the punishment that awaited them. But rather than being punished, they were rewarded for their silence. Listen as Dr. James Boice takes us through the reactions to the resurrection on The Bible Study Hour.

Matthew 28:1-15
The resurrection of Jesus Christ was the resurrection of a physical body. The disciples realized that when they touched Him, and it was that conviction that sent them into the world as messengers of the gospel. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he presents the evidence that Jesus was who He said He was, that He accomplished what He said He would do, and that those who trust Him will live forever.

Romans 12:2
How do we experience mind renewal in an exceedingly mindless age? Not by simply thinking more about Christian things, but by thinking in a Christian way about—everything! Listen as Dr. James Boice explores the biblical criteria for the renewing of our minds on The Bible Study Hour.

Romans 12:2
How should a Christian think? That may sound like a strange question, but one writer claims there is no longer a distinctly Christian way of thinking about the world and that people no longer “think” much in general. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he discusses the major cause of the mindlessness of this age.

Romans 12:2
Are you a conformed or a transformed believer? Have you allowed the world to squeeze you into its mold or are you allowing the Holy Spirit to change you from within by the renewing of your mind? Listen as Dr. James Boice examines these two forces competing for the heart and soul of the Christian on The Bible Study Hour. 

Romans 12:1
Offering our bodies as a living sacrifice may seem like a lot to ask of God’s people, yet Paul calls it “our reasonable service.” Listen to Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he presents five reasons why rational thinking would lead us to give our hearts, minds and souls to Jesus.
