    Ep.140 Attributes of God: Trinity, Perfection & Beauty

    The Attributes of God: The Trinity, Perfection & Beauty of God Who is God—and what difference does knowing Him make in everyday Christian life? In this lesson from The Attributes of God, Pastor Keith Seiber continues examining what Scripture reveals about the nature and character of God, focusing on three profound truths: the Trinity, the perfection of God, and the beauty of God. The Bible reveals one God who eternally exists in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. From the opening chapters of Genesis through the New Testament, Scripture progressively reveals this remarkable truth. We examine passages such as Genesis 1:26, where God says, “Let us make man in our image,” and Isaiah 6:8, where one Lord speaks and asks, “who will go for us?” Then the New Testament brings the doctrine into even greater clarity. At Christ's baptism, the Father speaks from Heaven, the Son stands in Jordan, and the Holy Spirit descends like a dove. In Matthew 28:19, believers are baptized in the singular “name” of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. In this episode, you'll discover: How the Old Testament points toward the triune nature of God Why Elohim is a plural Hebrew noun while Genesis 1:1 uses it with a singular verb What Genesis 1:26, Genesis 11:7, and Isaiah 6:8 contribute to our understanding of God's nature How the New Testament openly reveals the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Why Matthew 28:19 speaks of one “name” and three divine Persons How Scripture identifies the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as God Why every human illustration of the Trinity eventually breaks down What it means to say that God is perfect Why God's perfection means He never needs to improve How God's perfection provides security and comfort to the believer Why a perfect God required a perfect sacrifice for sinful mankind How Jesus Christ, the Lamb “without blemish and without spot,” satisfies that need What Scripture means by the beauty of God Why every truly good and righteous desire finds its ultimate fulfillment in Him How studying God's attributes should deepen our reverence, worship, service, and desire to reach others with the Gospel God's perfection means He possesses every excellent quality completely and lacks nothing appropriate to His nature. His person is perfect, His ways are perfect, and His Word is perfect. And because God is perfect, He never needs to improve—which means He will never change on you. He will not become wiser tomorrow. He cannot become more holy. He cannot grow into a better version of Himself. There is nowhere higher for an infinitely perfect God to go. But God's perfection also confronts us with a problem: a perfect God cannot accept an imperfect sacrifice, and sinful man cannot make himself perfect. That is where this doctrine leads directly to Jesus Christ. I Peter 1:19 describes Christ as a lamb “without blemish and without spot.” Through Christ's substitutionary sacrifice, God provides what sinners could never provide for themselves. Hebrews 10:14 declares: “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.” Not patched. Not temporarily improved. “Perfected for ever” through the finished work of Jesus Christ. The lesson then turns from God's perfection to God's beauty. David declared in Psalm 27:4: “One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after...to behold the beauty of the LORD.” God's beauty means that He is the ultimate fulfillment of every good and righteous desire. The closer we come to understanding who God truly is, the more we should desire His presence, His fellowship, and ultimately the day when the redeemed “shall see his face” (Revelation 22:4). The world once looked upon Jesus Christ and, as Isaiah 53:2 foretold, saw “no beauty that we should desire him.” But Scripture promises another day: “Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty.” — Isaiah 33:17 What the world despised at Calvary, the redeemed will behold in glory. Studying the attributes of God is not merely an academic exercise. The better we know God, the greater our reverence should become, the deeper our worship should grow, and the more faithfully we should desire to serve Him. If you're interested in the attributes of God, the Trinity explained, Father Son and Holy Ghost, the perfection of God, the beauty of God, Christian theology, biblical doctrine, apologetics, or KJV Bible teaching, this lesson provides a Scripture-centered examination of who God has revealed Himself to be.

    Ep.139 Selfishness is the Ruin of Happiness (Philippians 2:3-5)

    Everybody wants to be happy. We change jobs, spend money, pursue experiences, and rearrange our lives thinking, “If I could just get what I want, I would finally be happy.” But Scripture reveals a surprising truth: the more life revolves around me, the more miserable I can become. In this King James Bible message from Philippians 2:3–5, Pastor Keith Seiber examines why selfishness is the ruin of happiness and how Jesus Christ shows us a completely different path to joy. Selfishness says, “Put yourself first.” Jesus says, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” Selfishness is more than an unpleasant personality trait. At its root, it is a worship problem. It puts self where God belongs. Instead of asking, “What does God want?” we begin asking, “What do I want?” Instead of “How can I serve?” the question becomes, “What am I getting out of this?” In this episode, you'll discover: Why selfishness promises happiness but produces disappointment How selfishness can become a worship problem Why getting our own way can never produce lasting joy How selfishness makes one denied desire seem bigger than a hundred blessings What King Ahab and Naboth's vineyard teach us about discontentment Why comparison makes contentment almost impossible How selfishness damages marriages, families, friendships, workplaces, and churches Why church harmony requires Christians willing to say, “It does not always have to be my way” How Jesus Christ provides the supreme example of selflessness Why biblical happiness is connected to serving rather than being served How encouraging, giving, praying for, and helping others can restore joy Why there is freedom in serving without needing recognition How to recognize selfish motives hiding beneath anger, disappointment, and hurt Why selfishness must be put to death daily Three practical ways to deliberately practice Christlike selflessness this week Philippians 2:3 commands, “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.” The cure for selfishness is not merely learning to be nicer. The cure is becoming more like Christ. Jesus did not merely teach selflessness—He lived it. He “made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant” and ultimately “became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:7–8). The Creator entered His creation as a servant. He washed feet. He touched lepers. He fed the hungry. He comforted the grieving. He received children. And ultimately, He gave His life. At Calvary we see the complete opposite of selfishness: the Son of God giving Himself for people who could never repay Him. And Jesus connects this kind of service directly with happiness. After washing His disciples' feet, He told them: “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.” — John 13:17 How do you become happy? Not by demanding that everyone serve you, but by serving. Not by insisting upon your rights, but by humbling yourself. Not by making your entire life about yourself, but by following Jesus Christ. Perhaps some of our unhappiness isn't because we need more. Perhaps it is because self has gotten too big—my feelings, my recognition, my wants, my comfort, my preferences, my expectations, and my plans. Christianity offers a remarkable paradox: spend your life desperately trying to make yourself happy and you may become miserable. Give your life to Christ, love God, and begin genuinely serving others, and you discover the truth Jesus taught: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” — Acts 20:35 Selfishness is the ruin of happiness. Christlike selflessness is one of God's pathways to joy. If you're interested in Christian happiness, biblical joy, overcoming selfishness, Philippians 2 explained, Christian relationships, contentment, serving others, becoming more like Christ, practical Christian living, or KJV Bible preaching, this episode offers a practical biblical challenge to move our attention away from ourselves and toward Christ and others.

    Ep.138 Sound Doctrine: According to the Glorious Gospel (1 Timothy 1:8-11)

    What makes Bible teaching sound doctrine? How should Christians use the Old Testament today? And why does Paul call the message of Jesus Christ “the glorious gospel of the blessed God”? In this King James Bible message from 1 Timothy 1:8–11, Pastor Keith Seiber examines the biblical standard by which every sermon, doctrine, teacher, book, and religious message should be tested: Is it according to the glorious Gospel? Paul's concern for Timothy and the church at Ephesus was doctrinal. False teachers threatened the spiritual health of the church, and the answer was not entertainment, compromise, or popular opinion. The answer was faithful preaching grounded in the Word of God—a clear “Thus saith the Lord!” Paul describes healthy teaching as “sound doctrine; According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God” (1 Timothy 1:10–11). Sound doctrine does not obscure Jesus Christ. It explains, supports, protects, and proclaims the Gospel. It confronts sin, calls sinners to repentance, points them to Christ, and produces godliness in those who believe. In this episode, you'll discover: What Paul means by “sound doctrine” Why sound doctrine literally carries the idea of healthy teaching How Christians can recognize healthy versus unhealthy preaching Why the Gospel must remain at the center of Christian doctrine Why faithful preaching must confront sin and the need for repentance How the Gospel transforms rather than merely informs What Paul means when he says “the law is good, if a man use it lawfully” How Christians should understand and use the Old Testament Why being under grace does not mean Christians should “unhitch” themselves from the Old Testament Four important purposes of God's law: revealing God and exposing sin, restraining evil, guiding life, and pointing sinners toward the Messiah How the vice list of 1 Timothy 1:9–10 corresponds broadly with the Ten Commandments Why the law can expose sin but cannot save a sinner Why the Ten Commandments are a mirror, not a ladder What Paul means by “the glorious gospel” Why God is called “the blessed God” How God's glory shines brightest in His grace toward undeserving sinners Paul reminds us in 2 Timothy 3:15 that the Old Testament Scriptures “are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” Christians do not throw away the Old Testament. We read it with our eyes open to Jesus Christ and the Gospel. The law reveals God's holiness, exposes our sin, and shows us how desperately we need a Redeemer. The law says do. The Gospel says done. The Ten Commandments were never a ladder by which sinful men could climb into Heaven. They are a mirror showing us what we really are—and a mirror has never washed a dirty face. Only the blood of Jesus Christ can cleanse the sinner. That is why sound doctrine must ultimately lead us back to Calvary, the empty tomb, and Jesus Christ. But Paul gives us something even more beautiful. He calls this message “the glorious gospel of the blessed God.” The word blessed points us toward the perfect blessedness and happiness of God. He is not frustrated, defeated, miserable, or uncertain. “But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased” (Psalm 115:3). And this blessed God delights in saving sinners. The Gospel is not good advice about how sinners can improve themselves. It is good news about what Jesus Christ has already done. Christ came into the world to save sinners. He died for our sins, rose again, and freely offers salvation to those who repent and believe. So come back to the Gospel. The law says do; the Gospel says done. You cannot law your way to Heaven. You can only look and live. If you're interested in sound doctrine, 1 Timothy explained, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the purpose of God's law, the Ten Commandments, Old Testament law and Christians, salvation by grace, repentance, biblical preaching, Christian doctrine, or verse-by-verse KJV Bible teaching, this episode offers a Gospel-centered examination of what healthy biblical teaching should look like.

    Ep.137 Attributes of God: Introduction & Unity

    Attributes of God: The Unity of God & Understanding the Trinity | Lesson 1, Part 1 What is God really like—and can we truly know Him? In this opening lesson of The Attributes of God, Pastor Keith Seiber begins a detailed King James Bible study of the nature and character of God, examining His divine attributes with a special focus on the unity of God and the biblical doctrine of the Trinity. The goal of studying God's attributes is not merely to accumulate theological information. Job 22:21 says, “Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.” There is a tremendous difference between knowing facts about God and actually knowing God. This series is designed not simply to make us better informed, but better acquainted with Him. Because this first class only made it partway through the Trinity section, this episode concentrates on the material actually covered rather than moving ahead into the lesson's later sections on God's perfection and beauty. In this episode, you'll discover: What theologians mean when they speak of the attributes of God Why God's attributes are not additions to His being but revelations of Who He is Why knowing doctrine about God must lead to knowing, obeying, and worshipping God How Scripture reveals God through both His unity and His many perfections Why God is not made up of separate “parts” such as love, holiness, justice, and mercy How God's love is always holy, His holiness is always loving, and His mercy never contradicts His justice Why holiness occupies such a prominent place in Scripture's revelation of God's character What the Bible means when it declares, “The LORD our God is one LORD” (Deuteronomy 6:4) Why biblical monotheism is not merely an abstract doctrine but a tremendous source of comfort The significance—and limitations—of the Hebrew word echad when discussing God's oneness Why Scripture leaves absolutely no room for competing gods How the New Testament continues to affirm the Old Testament doctrine that there is only one God How Christians can confess one God while also believing in the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Why the doctrine of the Trinity does not teach three Gods Why the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are distinct Persons without being separate Gods How the historic statement “neither confounding the persons nor dividing the substance” helps guard against two opposite errors Why the Son is not one-third of God and the Father is not the “senior partner” of the Godhead How the classic Trinity shield diagram helps us state what Scripture teaches without reducing God to an inadequate human analogy One of the foundational truths of this lesson is the unity of God. Scripture declares: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD” (Deuteronomy 6:4). The nations surrounding Israel worshipped many gods because each supposed deity was limited—one for rain, another for crops, another for the sea, another for fertility. But the believer needs only one God because the true God is sufficient for everything. There is no crisis outside His power, no need outside His provision, and no circumstance beyond His wisdom. That biblical insistence upon one God does not contradict the doctrine of the Trinity. Rather, it establishes one of its essential foundations. Christianity does not teach three Gods. It teaches one essential Being eternally existing in three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Each Person is fully God, yet the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Ghost is not the Father. The Trinity diagram used in the lesson helps visualize those biblical guardrails: the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God; yet the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Ghost is not the Father. The diagram is useful precisely because it avoids portraying the Persons as three pieces that combine to make God. And Scripture supports every one of those distinctions. The Father is called God in Romans 1:7. Of the Son, Hebrews 1:8 declares, “Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever.” Acts 5 identifies lying to the Holy Ghost with lying to God. At Christ's baptism, meanwhile, the Son stands in Jordan, the Father speaks from Heaven, and the Holy Ghost descends—three distinct Persons present simultaneously. This is why studying the attributes of God matters. A small view of God eventually produces a small Christianity. The more clearly we see Who God has revealed Himself to be, the more deeply we should trust Him, reverence Him, worship Him, and order our lives around Him. If you're interested in the Attributes of God, the Trinity explained, the unity of God, one God in three Persons, Father Son and Holy Ghost, Christian doctrine, systematic theology, Baptist doctrine, the deity of Christ, the deity of the Holy Spirit, or in-depth KJV Bible study, this series is designed to help you move beyond merely knowing about God toward becoming more deeply acquainted with Him through His Word. This lesson will continue next week as we finish our study of the Trinity before moving further into the attributes of God.

    Ep.136 Sawdust & the Spirit of God (Exodus 35:30-35)

    What does a Spirit-filled life actually look like? In this King James Bible study from Exodus 35:30–35, Pastor Keith Seiber introduces Bezaleel—the first man in Scripture whom God expressly declares He has “filled...with the spirit of God, in wisdom.” Surprisingly, he is not introduced as a preacher, prophet, priest, or king. He is a craftsman—a man working with gold, silver, stone, wood, fabric, and his hands. In Sermon 10 of the Wisdom's Path series, we continue asking “Where is wisdom?” Last time, the question was where wisdom comes from. This time, the question becomes much more personal: When God gives wisdom, where does He put it? Exodus provides the answer: Wisdom has an address. God doesn't store it in a place. He puts it in a person, and then He puts that person to work. This episode follows three movements in the life of Bezaleel: The Filling, The Fire, and The Fabric. In this episode, you'll discover: Why the first man God expressly identifies as Spirit-filled was a craftsman What Exodus 35 teaches about wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and workmanship The meaning of the Hebrew word chokmâh and how biblical wisdom includes practical skill Why knowledge provides the facts, understanding sorts the facts, wisdom applies the facts, and workmanship puts wisdom to work Why “skill in common employments is the gift of God” The danger of dividing life into supposedly sacred and secular categories Why natural talent without God's Spirit can build a Babel, while talent surrendered to God can build a tabernacle How the Holy Spirit enables believers for the work God has called them to do Why wisdom was never intended to stop with you What Exodus 35:34 teaches about discipleship and teaching others Why parents and grandparents must intentionally pass spiritual wisdom to the next generation How 2 Timothy 2:2 gives us four generations of biblical discipleship Why wisdom in the heart eventually becomes visible through the hands The difference between the indwelling and filling ministries of the Holy Spirit How the Spirit's ministry under the Old Testament economy differs from His permanent indwelling of New Testament believers Why being filled with the Spirit is not about getting more of Him, but allowing Him to have more of you What Bezaleel, John Newton, and William Wilberforce teach us about God using ordinary people for extraordinary purposes Exodus 35:31 says, “And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship.” God's filling did not eliminate Bezaleel's effort—it empowered it. He still had to cut, cast, measure, weave, and work. The lesson is powerful: the filling doesn't cancel the effort; the filling is what makes the effort amount to something. The passage also challenges the idea that only preaching, teaching, singing, or missionary work can be spiritual service. Scripture shows God giving wisdom for craftsmanship, design, imagination, and ordinary labor. “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men” (Colossians 3:23). Your occupation does not have to be something you endure until you can serve God at church. Your everyday work can become one of the places where God's wisdom shows. The lesson then examines an important doctrinal distinction concerning the Holy Spirit. Under the Old Testament economy, the Spirit came upon selected individuals for particular purposes. But Jesus promised His disciples that the Comforter would “abide with you for ever” and “shall be in you” (John 14:16–17). Today, every believer is permanently indwelt and sealed by the Holy Spirit, while believers are repeatedly commanded to “be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18). So the question isn't simply, “What talents do I have?” The greater question is: Is my life yielded to God so that He can use what He has given me for His glory? Wisdom has an address. It lives in a person. And when God fills that person, wisdom doesn't remain hidden—it gets to work. If you're interested in biblical wisdom, the filling of the Holy Spirit, Spirit-filled living, Exodus 35 explained, Bezaleel, Christian work and vocation, spiritual gifts, Christian discipleship, practical Christian living, or verse-by-verse KJV Bible teaching, this episode shows how God's wisdom reaches far beyond the church building and into the ordinary work of everyday life.

    Ep.135 The Revelation of Jesus Christ (Galatians 1:11-24)

    Where did the Apostle Paul get his Gospel—and why does the answer matter? In this verse-by-verse Bible study of Galatians 1:11–24 (KJV), Pastor Keith Seiber examines Paul's dramatic transformation from a violent persecutor of Christians into a preacher of the very faith he once tried to destroy. Paul's testimony establishes a truth that remains essential for the church today: what God revealed, no man can revise. Paul makes an extraordinary claim in Galatians 1:12: “For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” His Gospel did not originate with Peter, James, the Jerusalem church, religious tradition, or human philosophy. It came from Jesus Christ Himself. That divine origin means no church, preacher, denomination, religious tradition, or supposed new revelation has the authority to alter the Gospel God has already given. In this episode, you'll discover: Why Paul's enemies attacked the messenger in an attempt to discredit the message What Paul means by “the revelation of Jesus Christ” Four characteristics of the Gospel: it is Divine, Eternal, Saving, and Justifying Why every false gospel ultimately points a sinner back toward himself, while the true Gospel points him toward Christ How religious sincerity can coexist with serious spiritual error Why Paul's zeal for the “traditions of my fathers” could not make him right with God What Paul's conversion teaches about the transforming power of grace Why salvation works from the inside out: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature” (2 Corinthians 5:17) What Paul's years in Arabia teach us about waiting on God's timing Why “Arabia is not the interruption of the ministry. Arabia is the making of the minister.” Whether Christians today should expect new direct revelations from God Why the completed Scriptures are sufficient, and no new revelation is needed How adding anything to Christ's finished work creates another gospel Why Christians need both to be edified and to edify others How a genuinely transformed life ultimately brings glory to God Paul's testimony also provides an important answer to modern claims of new revelation. The apostles occupied a foundational role in the church. We do not continually lay the foundation again. As this message explains, the apostles received revelation so that we could receive Scripture. God's written Word is not an inferior substitute for supernatural experiences; Peter calls it “a more sure word of prophecy” (2 Peter 1:19). Galatians 1 also gives tremendous encouragement to believers walking through seasons when it seems as though God is doing nothing. Moses waited forty years in the desert. David waited between the anointing and the crown. Paul spent years in Arabia and Damascus before going to Jerusalem. God's delays are not necessarily wasted years. What God is forming in you, He is not wasting. But the chapter ultimately isn't about Paul—it is about the glory of God. The believers in Judaea heard an astonishing report: “That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. And they glorified God in me” (Galatians 1:23–24). The man who once made havoc of the church became evidence of the transforming grace of Jesus Christ. That same grace still saves sinners. Saul wasn't merely improved; he was transformed. The message he discovered was not law but grace, not works but faith, not Sinai but Calvary, and not trying but trusting. Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day—and “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). If you're searching for Galatians explained, Paul's conversion, salvation by grace, justification by faith, the sufficiency of Scripture, Christian testimony, false gospels, new revelation, Christian liberty, or verse-by-verse KJV Bible teaching, this episode provides a careful study of one of Paul's most personal and powerful defenses of the Gospel.

    Ep.134 Minor Prophets: Malachi 3:6-4:6

    Does God still keep His promises when His people are unfaithful? In this concluding verse-by-verse Bible study through Malachi 3:6–4:6 (KJV), Pastor Keith Seiber explores the unchanging character of God, biblical giving and tithing, God's book of remembrance, the coming Day of the LORD, the Sun of Righteousness, and the remarkable prophecy that Elijah will come before the great and dreadful day of the LORD. At the theological center of Malachi stands one of Scripture's great declarations: “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed” (Malachi 3:6). Israel's survival did not rest upon Israel's faithfulness but upon the immutable character and covenant faithfulness of God. His purposes do not change. His promises do not change. His warnings do not change. From that foundation, Malachi turns to one of the Bible's best-known passages on giving: “Will a man rob God?” This study examines tithing carefully, including Abraham's tithe to Melchizedek centuries before the Law, Jacob's promise to give God a tenth, Christ's words concerning tithing, and Paul's principles for systematic and proportional giving in the local church. In this episode, you'll discover: What “I am the LORD, I change not” means for Israel and for believers today Why God's immutability guarantees both His promises and His warnings What Malachi 3:8–10 teaches about tithes and offerings Why tithing did not originate with the Mosaic Law The significance of Abraham giving tithes to Melchizedek Why the tithe can be understood as a biblical starting point rather than the ceiling of Christian generosity What God means when He says, “prove me now herewith” Why Malachi 3:10 is not a promise of prosperity-gospel riches Why biblical giving reveals the lordship of God over our hearts What the “book of remembrance” teaches about God's attention to faithful believers Why God calls His people “jewels” in Malachi 3:17 Who the “Sun of righteousness” is in Malachi 4:2 How Malachi 4 points toward the Great Tribulation, Second Coming, and Millennial Kingdom Why Elijah's future ministry is connected with the Day of the LORD How John the Baptist fulfilled an Elijah-like ministry without exhausting Malachi's prophecy The strong biblical case for Elijah as one of the two witnesses of Revelation 11 Why the Old Testament ends with a curse, while Revelation ends with “no more curse” One of the most encouraging scenes in Malachi occurs when a small remnant refuses to join the complaining majority: “Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it” (Malachi 3:16). God noticed their conversations, recorded their faithfulness, and called them His treasured “jewels.” The study then moves into Bible prophecy. Malachi promises, “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings” (Malachi 4:2), before specifically declaring, “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD” (Malachi 4:5). Comparing Malachi with the Gospels and Revelation 11 reveals fascinating connections between Elijah, John the Baptist, the Tribulation witnesses, and the return of Jesus Christ. And ultimately, Malachi points us to Jesus Christ. He is the Messenger of the covenant. He is the Refiner. He is the unchanging Lord. He is the Sun of Righteousness. The Old Testament closes beneath the shadow of a curse, but Christ “hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us” (Galatians 3:13). If you're interested in Malachi explained, biblical tithing, Christian giving, Bible prophecy, Elijah and the two witnesses, Revelation 11, the Great Tribulation, the Second Coming of Christ, the Millennial Kingdom, dispensational theology, or verse-by-verse KJV Bible study, this episode brings these truths together while showing how the entire Book of Malachi ultimately points to the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Ep.133 Two Directions of Every Life: The Where of Wisdom (Job 28)

    Where can true wisdom actually be found? In this King James Bible study from Job 28, Pastor Keith Seiber follows Job deep beneath the earth in man's search for treasure—and discovers that mankind can uncover silver, gold, precious stones, and astonishing knowledge while still missing the one treasure he needs most: the wisdom of God. Job's great question is, “But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?” (Job 28:12). Using the dramatic rescue of the 33 Chilean miners as an illustration, this message develops a simple but powerful truth: those miners could not manufacture a way out from below. Their deliverance had to come from above. In the same way, biblical wisdom cannot ultimately be mined from human intelligence, technology, education, experience, or worldly philosophy. “For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding” (Proverbs 2:6). In this episode, you'll discover: Why Job 28 presents man's incredible ability to uncover earthly treasure but his inability to discover divine wisdom on his own The biblical difference between knowledge, understanding, and wisdom Why worldly prudence can be valuable but can never replace the wisdom that comes from God What Proverbs 2 means when it tells us to search for wisdom “as for hid treasures” Why receiving wisdom requires a spiritual posture of Bible study, prayer, meditation, obedience, and abiding in Christ The significance of Adonai in Job 28:28 and the connection between wisdom and surrender to God as Master Why “the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding” How Scripture answers the claim that Proverbs 8 teaches that Christ was created Why Jesus Christ is “the power of God, and the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24) How the Cross reveals a wisdom that fallen human reasoning could never have devised Why salvation itself must come down from above because sinful man could never climb his way up to God Job searched every direction available to man. The depth said wisdom wasn't there. The sea didn't possess it. Gold couldn't purchase it. Even death had only heard of it. Then God gave the answer: “Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding” (Job 28:28). Ultimately, wisdom is more than information to learn or principles to memorize. The New Testament points us to a Person: “Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24). At Calvary, God displayed a wisdom the world could never have invented—life through death, cleansing through blood, riches through Christ's poverty, and salvation through a crucified and risen Saviour. You cannot dig for wisdom. You can only receive it. The address is not down. It is up. If you're searching for biblical wisdom, Christian decision-making, Job 28 explained, Proverbs Bible study, the fear of the Lord, wisdom from God, Jesus Christ as the Wisdom of God, or practical Christian living, this episode offers an in-depth, verse-by-verse study grounded in the King James Bible.
