Imagine the feeling of having lost everything: your home, your family, even your place of worship. As we study the response of the Israelites to the destruction of all they hold dear, we might wonder how we would cope when our world crumbles and there’s no hope on the horizon. To support this minis

The Gospel, itself, hangs on an historical fact—that Jesus died on the cross of Calvary. The history of the Bible helps us to understand who God is—not a god of our imaginations but a God who invades history to accomplish His purposes. The writers of Scripture laid out that history to remind God’s p

“But God…” Two small words, but words that carry a great significance. Two small words that are filled with hope because they stand in contrast to the foolishness of man and the plans he devises through human wisdom. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he compares the foolishne

We find ourselves discouraged at times in our walk with the Lord. We don’t see the blessings that were once abundant but now seem nowhere to be found. Today, with Dr. James Boice we’ll be studying Psalm 77. The psalmist, Asaph, is discouraged. He knows God is good, but it seems like a long time sinc

In Old Testament times, God dwelt in Israel, and was known there. But today, God is known in Jesus, and His grace is available to all who are called and yield to His lordship. In this message, Dr. Boice examines Psalm 76, with a focus on God’s intervention for His people and where God can be found t

No matter what storms and trials enter our lives, as Christians we believe that sooner or later, things will be made right. In Psalm 75, the Psalmist no longer expresses fear and anxiety over Israel’s future and the plight of the God’s people. Instead, he exhibits a quiet confidence that, in God’s p

We feel a sense of loss as we watch our country turn from the godly principles on which it was founded. But can we imagine how it would feel to have our nation overrun and our places of worship destroyed? In this message, Dr. James Boice will be studying Psalm 74, a lament for the loss of Jerusalem

Have you ever known an ungodly person who seems to have everything and to have everything go his way? Has it caused you to feel resentful and maybe even question God? This week on The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice we’re studying Psalm 73, a Psalm of Asaph as he inquires, “In God’s universe,

God has undermined and brought to nothing the vaunted wisdom of the world through the simplicity of the gospel. And where is the folly of the world’s wisdom more clearly seen then through the lens of the crucifixion? Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he compares the wisdom of

As the Psalms of David come to a close, we get a picture of Israel’s next ruler, King Solomon. Like many rulers, Solomon began well, but after a time, that began to change. He was not the ideal leader his father had hoped he would be. Only one person could completely fulfil the description of the ki

Old age comes to all of us, and in today’s culture, that time of life is not always well regarded. This week on The Bible Study Hour Dr. James Boice will be looking at Psalm 71. David is an old man looking back on a life of faithful service. What he concludes about life and old age can serve as a ro

Hurry! Come quickly! Don’t delay! Have you ever found yourself in so much trouble that, if God doesn’t help immediately it may be too late? These were the cries of a desperate king. And if David, a godly man had serious problems that required God’s immediate attention, why should we be surprised whe

Have you ever felt your prayers weren’t being answered, and God was slow in coming to the rescue? This week on The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice, we’re continuing our study of Psalm 69. David acknowledges that God knows his distress but continues to press the Lord for a response to his troub
