His Love Endures Forever
It’s been said that a disaster, such as what has happened to worship in the evangelical church, is not going to be cured overnight. Indeed, there’s no quick fix, but the place to look is where true worship is always found--in the psalms. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour, as he unpacks the greatest of all the worship psalms, Psalm 136.

The Gospel Core

Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he summarizes Paul’s reason for preaching the resurrection and considers the apostle’s proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and our salvation.

Praise the Lord
It’s a sad, contemporary trend that many modern churches have departed from a style of worship centered around God, as all true Christian adoration should be. Today on The Bible Study Hour, Dr. James Boice continues his study of how worship has changed, offering instructions on the subject from Psalm 135.

Praising God in Zion
Why is it that so little of the passionate worship that once characterized the people of God is seen in the church today? Why are we often mere uncommitted spectators, rather than true worshippers? Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he ponders these questions and the state of modern worship from Psalm 134.

Unity and Community
“America has become one, vast, terrifying community.” That rather radical statement was made by one observer of modern culture. Is it true? Have we lost the true sense of community that once bound us together, and has that loss reached its tentacles into the church? Join Dr. James Boice as he explores the current disunity in our culture, the Christian ideal for unity, and how it might be attained.

Like a Satisfied Child
Psalm 131 is one of the shortest in the Psalter, and while it’s one of the easiest to read, it contains in its three short verses one of the hardest lessons to learn.

Is God Among You?

Those Were the Days
It’s difficult for you and me to understand the joy of a people returning to their own country after a long period of captivity. One moment they were slaves, and the next--they were free. It was a delirious joy that must have seemed like a dream. Join Dr. James Boice as he explores the exuberant anticipation of the Israelites as they returned to Jerusalem, and their prayers for the future.

The Greatest Thing in the World
A Scottish evangelist, Henry Drummond preached a famous sermon entitled “The Greatest Thing in the World.” It was about love, and--if indeed--love IS the greatest thing in the world, then the 13th chapter of First Corinthians has to be one of the greatest chapters of the Bible. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he explains why love is superior to hope and even to our faith.

God's People Like Mt. Zion
We all strive for security in our lives, but security can be elusive. As our world changes and western civilization declines, where do we turn for refuge?

If
Psalm 124 has been called a wonderful psalm of God’s protective care. It’s a psalm of great imagery—painting a picture of the terrible disaster that would have befallen God’s people had not He intervened. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he explores the depths of this great psalm of deliverance and compares God’s protection to the intervention of Christ in the life of the believer.

Looking Up
Psalm 123 has been called a psalm for the eyes. It’s a psalm that encourages us to look up to our God, much as a slave in ancient times would look to his master. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he explores this brief psalm encouraging God’s people to look up--while the rest of the world looks downward, inward or anywhere…but to the Lord.

Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem
We could never feel as strongly about our own home towns as the Jews felt about the city of Jerusalem. It was Israel’s capital and the spiritual center of the nation. But Jerusalem was just an earthly city, and—while believers are called to pray for its peace—we await a far better place. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he reflects on God’s city and points us to the New Jerusalem.

Unto the Hills
Psalm 121 has rightly been called, “The Travelers’ Psalm”. It’s a psalm the ancient pilgrims sang as they crested the ridge overlooking Jerusalem, and it’s a psalm that’s comforted many modern-day travelers and refugees. Join us for The Bible Study Hour as we explore the psalm that’s encouraged generations to lift up their eyes--not to the hills, but to the Lord who created them.

Spiritual Gifts
While the Apostle Paul had a lot to say on the subject of tongues, he had a lot more to say on the much broader subject of spiritual gifts in general. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he emphasizes the important topic of believers exercising their spiritual gifts for the benefit of the church.
