Book Study

Titus Overview: Out of Order

by

Our new book study takes us to the New Testament letter of Titus. Titus is one of the pastoral epistles, written to a man (named Titus, obviously), whom the Apostle Paul had sent to the island of Crete to set the churches on the island in order. A lot had gone wrong in the churches on Crete, and Paul lays out God’s expectations for the pastors as well as for the members of those churches.

The epistle to Titus is also one of encouragement to a godly leader who was facing opposition from two opposing fronts. There were two camps of false teachers, one spreading a lascivious, immoral lifestyle, and the other a corrosive doctrine of legalism. Both of these teachings were wrong and destructive for the believers in Crete, and Paul encouraged Titus to set these false teachers straight. Paul’s protégé would need to show the Christians on the island that the Gospel of Jesus Christ was the truth that would give them the ability to do God’s work.

We also sideline temporarily to deconstruct some of the more common tropes of the CW’s superhero “Arrowverse” catalog of shows. The original Rip Van Winkle also makes a surprise guest appearance.

Nahum Chapter Three: The Cause of Nineveh’s Comeuppance

by

Curt & Kreig conclude their study of Nahum with chapter three. They see how God gave ample reasons for the “why” of the destruction of Nineveh. Slave trade, senseless violence against the children of their enemies, and more played large parts in the ultimate downfall of Assyrian capital. Nahum succinctly answers the question of why Nineveh would “henceforth receive their comeuppance.”

Chapter three also details the fallout from Nineveh’s destruction. Their mighty warriors would flee, the line of kings would be cut off, and their people would be scattered among the nations. To rub salt in the wound, the Bible prophesied that none of Assyria’s neighbors would pity their downfall. No one would show any sympathy for the destruction of this abusive empire.

And of course, it wouldn’t be The Bible Burrito without a handful of references to nerd culture. The Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Chronicles of Narnia, and Avengers: Infinity War’s Thanos all come up during this chapter breakdown. As a bonus, if you’re a fig lover, there’s even some fun fig trivia for you in there!

UPDATE: We wanted to clarify that there is actually a city near the site where Nineveh stood: Mosul, Iraq. However, the ruins of the city went undiscovered for centuries, and the city was never actually rebuilt, so our statement about the permanence of the destruction does still mostly stand true.

Nahum Chapter Two: The Fall of Nineveh

by

Chapter two of Nahum details the actual fall of the city of Nineveh, as prophesied by Nahum decades before. God’s judgment is dealt with heavily in this chapter. In the context of the book as a whole, this judgment is actually very comforting to God’s people. This chapter gives a detailed look at how this judgment would be carried out against Nineveh.

Nahum Chapter One: The Nature of God

by

Chapter one of Nahum deals with the comfort, mercy, and judgment of God. God’s nature is revealed as Nahum the prophet begins his prophecy against the city of Nineveh. We also see how the nation of Judah would have received this prophecy as a word of comfort and consolation.

Nahum: Book Overview

by

Our first actual Bible study episode kicks off with the book of Nahum! It may seem like a strange way to start a Bible study podcast, but we hope you’ll start to see like we have the amazing way God reveals Himself through this book. The minor prophets are an often-overlooked portion of Scripture, but well worth reading! And we both have a passion for making the whole counsel of God known. Buckle in for our first book study as we dive into Nahum!
