Ben's Bible Podcast

Have you noticed there is a massive trend in history and in scripture to prospering? I don't mean in a worldly way merely...but I mean in the way that matters the most...in the way that leads to peace, love, joy, humility, meaning, purpose, and present and eternal well-being. Would you like to unlock the biblical recipe for such a life experience as this? Listen on.

In this message we dive into the lessons of hearts being changed through God's prophetic and guiding word which points us to the LIVING WORD, JESUS. We explore God's greatest Gift to our souls and how we are called to give to the LORD with hearts transformed by His grace. We explore on God's prophetic signs in these last days, pointing us to give our best gifts to Jesus now, and to prepare to meet Him. Jesus is coming soon!

You and I need to know and experience the power of God in our lives. We cannot be those who are "having a form of godliness, but who are denying the power thereof." We must not miss out on this most powerful and most essential of all experiences in life. That is, to connect intimately with the living God, and experience His power daily working in your life by faith. In Christ, let us seek this experience now.

The Bible warns us that the devil goes about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). He is earnestly trying to destroy every single soul he possibly can. He especially does not want you or I to know Jesus and His truth. Satan works very hard, like he did with Adam and Eve in the beginning, to pick us off from the faith of Christ, and to allure our loved ones to ruin as well. Yet, his tactics are not unknown. They have been recorded in scripture for our "admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come" (1 Cor. 10:11). Let us not be ignorant of these devises. Study the truth and prepare your soul to stand strong in Jesus. Do not be deceived. Instead, stand fast in the truth of God's word! Listen to this message to more informed and prepared to stand faithful in Jesus! God bless you as you listen!

The world is heading towards the most stupendous crisis of all the ages. Many seem to think the "best" of days are just ahead of us, but the Bible warns us that will not be the case for God's faithful, though the world imagines a new, more peaceful age. It is the final struggle between the forces of good and evil. Especially will the devil pull together the rulers and leaders of this world, as well as the people, merchants and others to align against God's will. Specific developments are even now occurring, as we will see in this message, and God's WORD contains the warnings and admonitions you and I need to STAND faithful and true to Him in these last days as we will soon face earth's final showdown. The time to prepare is NOW. Listen, follow God's word, watch, pray, and be ready to stand!

A daughter danced before King Herod and next thing you know John the Baptist's head was taken off. There is a woman who wants to take the heads of God's faithful off. You and I need to know about her, and especially to understand what is happening in our world today as prophetic events are taking leaps forward right before us. Developments in United States of America and around the world are pushing forward religious and political agenda's which threaten the very liberties of God-fearing Christians, exactly as Bible prophecy has foretold. This message helps to alert us to what is going on.

We begin with the history of Israel and the faithful prophet Elijah in one of the most perilous times of Israel's history when Baal worship had overtaken the nation. The parallels to last day biblical prophecy are very important to understand. We move forward into the New Testament area, and onward to Revelation and events of our day. May God bless you as you learn His word in this important update on the prophetic events of our world.

Blessings and prayers. Peace!

In this important message we look at the core of antichrist doctrine and his agenda "after the working of Satan," especially the biblical prophetic content revealing the wily and subtle work of this deceitful power, in light of the Bible truth of Jesus and His word. We let Christ Jesus' words demolish the lies of the antichrist power and Satan...as these lies have been dancing around churches and even taking them over, even as Bible prophecy has foretold. Do not be the next spiritual casualty or deceived soul - get the light of truth from Jesus and His word in this special message! You won't be disappointed. Know and follow Jesus without the rubbish or lies of the enemy. May God bless you on this journey to His heart, away from the evil one. Blessings and prayers, Ben.

The ancient world had a global affair with SUN worship. Surprisingly, this affair is not over, either... Do modern elements of SUN worship trickle down into our worship systems today? Has the faith of Jesus, the Son, been tainted by ancient Sun-worship? Are we inclined by the sins of our fathers to worship the Sun, even without knowing it, and to place ancient Sun-worship over Son-worship? Let us not be caught off guard. You need to know this and be fully surrendered to Jesus, the Son of God, 100%. Don't miss this critical message that Jesus wants you to hear! Message by Ben Burkhardt.

Learn more about this call to follow Jesus both in the home and outside the home (as we explore the second part of Titus 2). The Lord calls His people to be holy as He is holy and to shine for Him in this dark world around us. Yes, this means we'll be different and think different than the world, but it also means that we will be able to live out God's call to love and practical life-service for Jesus and others. 

May God bless you as you study His word today! Blessings!

Message by Ben Burkhardt.

In this message we will explore God's path of true fulfillment vs. the counterfeit one being offered by the world.

In this message we explore the verses and teachings of Jesus and His apostles on the subject of hell fire. We look into how hell was used in evangelism and especially with nurturing and mentoring believers to follow God, and even how hypocrites were met with this subject within these teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. We see the different Greek words used in different verses to describe the subject, and ultimately how the Bible pictures hell in the final judgment foretold in the Book of Revelation. This study should be an enlightening message, helping to provide clarity to often misunderstood or misused texts. 

Thanks for listening!

Blessings,

Ben Burkhardt

In this episode we will be exploring more of the biblical tools for reaching hearts and minds for God's kingdom, and how they might interplay with the subject of Hellfire in scripture. We'll look at the drawing power of God's character and goodness, biblical urgency for decisions, and how the apostles in the 1st century presented Jesus to win hearts and minds. We'll explore how John the Baptist preached about Hellfire, and some of the primary ways that Jesus presented the gospel to others, including some of his presentations on hellfire.

Heads up on next week's episode: Next week, with our foundation from parts 1-3, we'll be digging into the main teachings on hellfire that Jesus presented, how He presented them, to whom, and so forth! Be sure you're caught up and don't miss next week's message either! 

In this message we look at God's mercy and love to see how He reaches our hearts, how He draws us to Himself, and how He motivates decisions that will lead us into an eternal relationship of love with Him! Be blessed as you explore this topic from scripture today!

In this episode we pose the question, "Is HELL the Number One Evangelistic Tool of the Century?" We explore traditional and popular belief and usage of the subject, then we explore what the Bible has to say about drawing people to Jesus. What is it really that attracts us to God, to Jesus? What really draws us to God, in spite of all the other options the world is offering us today? Find the biblical answers to these questions in this episode.

Message by Ben Burkhardt.

In this message, we explore the 1917 vision of Fatima, which is important to the Catholic Church, in light of the Bible and current events in Ukraine. We look at the role of the Fatima visions in current events with the Roman Catholic Church's consecration of Russia during the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and a biblical exploration of the contents of the vision, as relating to Bible teaching and the immortality of the soul question as it relates to mankind.

This content should be a very practical tool in analyzing current world events in these last days of earth's history, and making sure that our faith is firmly rooted in the Bible!

In this episode we look at troubles going on in the world today which have people thinking. We then look at troubles in the churches of today, which Bible prophecy foretold. Ultimately we look at the question, "Will our faith be shaken?" We dig into the Bible to look at how we can face the current challenges and maintain a faith that holds onto Jesus and "endures to the end."

In this episode we explore God's call to peace in our lives, how we can experience true peace, and God's call to make peace in the lives of others. We also explore the life of Noah, which was a life of peace in God, as opposed to the violent and evil world around. In closing, we look at some amazing fossil evidence that reminds us of how God will ultimately bring peace to this world. It is one of two ways...you and I should endeavor now to experience the perfect route to peace through the wonderful love and salvation which God is offering us.

In this episode, we look at the teachings of Jesus regarding last day events. We especially take into consideration the teachings of Matthew 24, and those which correspond in the prophetic books of Daniel and Revelation. We ask the question, with "wars and rumors of wars," as well as other ominous signs of the end, what will happen next? Will the present wars and global conditions of concern lead us into WWIII and a global meltdown, or does Jesus say there will be more? Is this the "end" or just the beginning? We'll find out how Jesus explains this. Best of all, we'll be looking at the hope and peace that we can find in Jesus, as we face certain troubles in the last days of earth's history. While those on earth may be dying from the stress and fears of what is coming, God's people have a most definite advantage. Let's found out just what that is, as we dive into this Bible message!

Message presented by Ben Burkhardt.

Is God fighting for Ukraine? Is He helping anyone on the Russian side? Does God care about our wars and sufferings in this world? Does He care about all individuals? Explore what the Bible has to say on these important questions.

This short "teaser" just gives you an idea of what our podcast focuses on. Ben's Bible Podcast is to help you connect with God and His word, the Bible. We look at The Word (i.e. the Bible) and its teachings, evidence for faith, the truth and Bible teachings that will be helpful for your life!

Some topics we will likely be exploring are:

• What does the Bible really say about God and His message? Rather than what do people popularly "think" about God.
• Is there evidence for Creation and the Flood of Noah's day? If so, what, and how does this build our faith?
• We'll look at some faith-building topics in Bible prophecy and its fulfillment. Why should we believe God? Because He gives us every reason to do so.
• We may look into Christian or Biblical Time Management, and other practical Bible subjects useful in our every day lives.

I'm sure there will be much more along these lines, so I hope you'll plan to join us and subscribe as a regular listener!

More to come soon!

Blessings in Christ!
