Welcome to episode 227 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we will examine the theology of work.

Key takeaways:

• All work done according to biblical principles can glorify God and serve His kingdom purposes.
• Your work matters to God when it's done for His glory.
• When we work, we participate in God's ongoing creative activity.
• Sin makes work harder and sometimes meaningless, but it doesn't make work evil.
• Working 'as for the Lord' means pursuing excellence, not perfectionism.
• God cares about how you treat your coworkers, the integrity you show in small decisions, the excellence you pursue in mundane tasks, and the witness your work ethic provides to a watching world.

Quotable:

All legitimate work—whether 'secular' or 'sacred'—can bring glory to God when done with the right heart and motivation.

Application:

• When we work 'as for the Lord,' our ultimate boss becomes Jesus, not our earthly supervisor.
• Specific ways work can witness:
• Reliability and punctuality—showing respect for others' time.
• Honesty in small things—building a reputation for integrity.
• Kindness to difficult people—displaying supernatural love.
• Excellence without pride—combining competence with humility.
• Peace during stress—revealing a different source of security.
• Integrity when no one's watching—living with audience awareness of God.
• Pray for difficult people rather than gossip about them.
• Do good work regardless of whether it's noticed or appreciated.
• Respond to criticism with humility, not defensiveness.
• Look for ways to serve, not just to be served.

Welcome to episode 226 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, Pastor Drew continues our study, "Piercing Questions: From the One Who Was Pierced." Today we will cover:
• A question on Doubt.
• “Why did you doubt?” — Matthew 14:31

Key Takeaways:
• Great faith can quickly become great fear — and fear opens the door to doubt.
• Doubt is a lack of confidence in God’s character, God's power, or God's promises.
• We can see God move powerfully and still allow doubt to creep in.
• Doubt grows when human logic overshadows faith.
• Satan uses doubt as one of his oldest tools — 'Did God actually say?' (Genesis 3).
• Doubt pulls our eyes from the Protector and fixes them on the problem.
• Doubt is defeated by remembering what God has done, what He has promised, and who He is.

Quotable:
• “The wind and waves were always there — doubt overcomes us when we give more attention to our problems than our Protector.”
• “Once we understand what God has done in the past and promised for the future, we can act in faith instead of doubt.”
• “Faith is stepping out — fear keeps us from stepping to Jesus.”

Application:
• Recognize that doubt is a confidence problem — not a circumstance problem.
• Ask God to help your unbelief (Mark 9:24).
• Remember His deeds (Psalm 77:11) and His promises — faith comes by hearing the Word (Romans 10:17).
• Submit your logic to God’s truth — don’t let reasoning overshadow faith.
• Keep your eyes on Jesus, not the wind and waves.
• Worship as your response — let it anchor your heart.
• Take your step out of the boat — obedience builds faith.

Welcome to episode 225 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, Pastor Drew continues our study entitled Piercing Questions: From the One Who Was Pierced. Today we will cover:

• A question on Faith.

• “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” — Matthew 9:28

Key Takeaways:

• What you believe is what you live — your life reveals your faith.

• Explicit beliefs are what we claim; implicit beliefs are what we actually live.

• Faith is trusting Jesus even when you cannot see the outcome.

• The blind men revealed their belief through their actions, humility, and pursuit of Jesus.

• Faith is not forcing God’s hand — it is trusting His ability.

• What you live reveals whether you walk in self-confidence or God-confidence.

• Jesus asks: “Do YOU believe I am able to do this?”

Quotable:

• “What you believe inspires what you live — and what you live is faith.”

• “Do YOU believe He is able?”

• “Faith is the evidence of things not seen — a willingness to trust, rely on, and cling to Jesus.”

Application:

• Evaluate your implicit beliefs — does your life reveal trust in Jesus?

• Follow Jesus like the blind men — with persistence, humility, and faith.

• Cry out in faith — put words to what you believe.

• Identify Jesus rightly — the Son of David, the Messiah.

• Live out God-confidence, not self-confidence.

• Ask yourself daily: Do I believe He is able?

• Walk in faith that shapes decisions, responses, and obedience.
