info_outline 2024 Bible Tribe Ep. #883 Week 12 How Must I Be Saved?The Bible Tribe Reading Plan
Are you born again? I remember when I did not understand what that meant. Sometimes, we can grow up hearing different words that describe what it means to be a Christian and not really know what these words or phrases mean. God’s plan of salvation has unfolded over history. History is His story of His salvation rolled out in a progressive revelation over the course of history. So how does Jesus' death save us, and what are we saved from? Listen to this week's Bible Tribe episode as we discuss what Easter is all about. Happy Easter! Jesus is risen from the dead! #Bibletribe...
info_outline 2024 Bible Tribe Ep. #882 Week 11 How to Handle AfflictionsThe Bible Tribe Reading Plan
When we are afflicted, we can lose perspective, and suffering can seem meaningless. But God does not waste our suffering. This past week, in the Bible Tribe, we caught a glimpse of God's purposes in something we would rather do without. This week's review of Genesis 41–44, Ruth, Isaiah 62–66, Psalms 25–27, Job 21–22, Mark 1–2, and 1 Corinthians 7–8 has a common theme of affliction in the lives of God's people and what God did in and through their suffering.

info_outline 2024 Bible Tribe Ep. #881 Week 8 Understanding the Heart of God 2-25-24The Bible Tribe Reading Plan
How much are our troubles intensified because we just don't understand the heart of God? God's heart toward us is good. The heart of God is perfect, compassionate, kind, Holy, and good. God is the Lover of our souls, our friend, our Advocate, and our ever-present help in times of need. God is not in a box of our own making, and His character is not subject to our perception. His heart is that we would have His heart. And He gives us His heart and understanding! Listen to the Bible Tribe summary for week 8 as we unpack God's heart through the scenarios of God's people.
info_outline 2024 Bible Tribe Ep. #880 Week 7: Navigating Relationships in a Broken WorldThe Bible Tribe Reading Plan
Relationships with others begin with our relationship with God. When we are not in a right relationship with God we cannot be in a right relationship with man. In Christ, our relationships with others can be defined by peace. Find out how in this week's summary episode of the Bible Tribe reading plan, where a common theme emerges of how to navigate broken relationships.
info_outline 2024 Bible Tribe Ep. #878 Week 6: Trusting God in Life’s TestsThe Bible Tribe Reading Plan
How do you do with tests? Do you resent them? Do you doubt God’s character when they arise? Life's tests can be hard, but they reveal our trust in God and prove that God's purpose in the tests is ultimately to bless us. This week in the Bible Tribe reading plan, we learn that God is trustworthy and our security is in Him, not the blessings given by God.
info_outline 2024 Bible Tribe Ep. #878 Week 5: Expectations: Trusting God When It’s Hard to Wait – Sunday 2-4-24The Bible Tribe Reading Plan
What are you expecting from this life? From God? Expectations can really let us down. Much of our life is spent longing for something we really hope for or believe in, and it still seems so out of reach. In all our readings this week, there is a stumbling block one must choose to step over as one waits on God. We forsake the peace that could be ours when we fix our thoughts on our failed expectations rather than on what God has said. A scripture-shaped mind will focus more on how we can fit into God’s larger plan than how His plans might fit into ours.
info_outline 2024 Bible Tribe Ep. #877 Week 4: Questioning God: Understanding God’s JusticeThe Bible Tribe Reading Plan
Have you ever questioned God? Wondered why things are happening? Or felt like things were unfair or unjust? This week, the readings in the Bible Tribe reading plan have a common theme of God’s justice and sometimes a perceived lack of justice. God invites us to ask questions, come and see the big picture with Him, and delight in His justice. Listen in if you have questions for God. God is big enough for your questions and my questions. When we question him from a place of belief, our questions become a place of faith and praise.
info_outline 2024 Bible Tribe Ep. #876 Week 3: How to Set Your MindThe Bible Tribe Reading Plan
How do you focus on Christ when chaos abounds all around you? Thinking higher than our own thoughts when the sky is falling feels impossible. But in our reading in Romans this week, Paul invites us to set our minds on the things of the Spirit rather than the things of the flesh through a word he uniquely uses. Listen in to hear the Scriptural background behind mindsets, why they matter and five keys for how to set our mindset to be like Christ's.
info_outline 2024 Bible Tribe Ep. #875 Week 2: Seeing the Blessing of ProblemsThe Bible Tribe Reading Plan
Do we recognize how blessed we are? We are so blessed but often miss it because we are distracted by problems. But are problems the problem? When we see what God sees, our eyes are opened, and we understand how blessed we really are. Listen in as Denise discusses the Scriptures from the Bible reading plan in week 2: Genesis 5–8, Joshua 5–8, Isaiah 7–12, Psalms 3–4, Job 3–4, Matt 3–5, Romans 3–5.
