Tune in this week to the Bible Study Hour as Dr. James Boice continues to teach about faith in the book of Romans.

The Ground of Abraham's Faith
October 31, 2024

Salvation Apart from Law
October 29, 2024
Often our conception of ourselves is typically based on an assessment of our accomplishments. The value of these accomplishments are usually informed and measured by the standards of our social context. Unfortunately, all standards of this sort are somewhat arbitrary and irrelevant to the Kingdom of God. In the Kingdom of God, His marvelous grace and favor is freely given to people from all types of backgrounds and social contexts irrespective of their alleged accomplishments. Tune into The Bible Study Hour this week as Dr. James Boice teaches us to live by faith in the work of Jesus Christ.

The Steps of Faith
October 28, 2024
Many times we feel inadequate and tense in our understanding of things, and we allow it to determine how and what we will ultimately think. Abraham probably had to deal with one of the greatest times of tension a human being could ever be put through. He was asked to sacrifice his one and only son of promise.

The Second Contrast: Love and Hate
October 27, 2024
It's only when you can say what something is not, that you can say anything meaningful about what it really is…and if love is to mean anything, we have to contrast it with its opposite: hate. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he takes us through the Apostle John's reasoning on the true meaning of love as a test for true Christianity.

The weight of guilt is seemingly unbearable at times. How is one to continue on when they know that they have done significant wrong? Guilt is a very difficult thing to bear now, but how much more so when it comes to giving an account of ourselves before God. However, there is hope, tune in to the Bible Study Hour this week as Dr. James Boice shares this hope with us.
