Romans 12:10-13

The kind of love that Christianity commends is a practical love, and practical Christianity is what people are really looking for. Join Dr. James Boice as he summarizes the nine practical areas of a believer’s life in which love is to function. That’s next time on The Bible Study Hour, preparing you to think and act biblically.

Romans 12:9

In the ancient world earthen jars would sometimes crack when fired in the kiln. Dishonest vendors would seal the crack with wax, but when held to the sun, the flaw was visible. Honest dealers marked their vessels “sinna-caira” or “without wax.” Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he explores the greatest Christian virtue—love—and what love looks like in its purest form.

Romans 12:6-8

There is diversity in unity. While that statement sounds oxymoronic, it is very true of Christ’s body, the church. God has given every Christian a gift that, when used rightly, contributes to the oneness of the body and to His glory. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he describes the “grace gifts” God gives to His people and their ultimate purpose.

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.
