Can anyone be good enough to earn eternal life? In Matthew 19, Pastor Paul explains why the answer is no—and why that’s actually good news. Jesus teaches about God’s original design for marriage, the dangers of a hard heart, and the futility of trying to reach heaven through our own works. You’ll see why even the rich young ruler walked away sorrowful, and how Jesus’s words—“with man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible”—offer hope, forgiveness, and new life for every believer.Subscribe to Through the Bible with Pastor Paul for verse-by-verse teaching through all 66 books of Scripture, and explore more resources and transcripts at lifebibleministry.com.

Genesis 32-33 - Jacob Wrestles with God
What happens when you wrestle with God instead of surrendering to Him? In Genesis 32–33, Jacob prepares to face Esau after twenty years apart, terrified of what might happen. Pastor Paul shows how Jacob’s night of wrestling with the Lord became the turning point of his life, leaving him humbled, broken, and renamed Israel. You’ll see how God’s touch changes the way we walk, why true strength comes through weakness, and how reconciliation with Esau revealed God’s faithfulness in restoring what fear and sin had once torn apart.Subscribe to Through the Bible with Pastor Paul for verse-by-verse teaching through all 66 books of Scripture.

Matthew 18 - The Kingdom of Heaven
Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? In Matthew 18, Jesus turns the question upside down by pointing to the humility and dependence of a child. Pastor Paul explains why greatness in God’s kingdom begins with repentance and childlike faith, and how believers are called to guard against sin, pursue reconciliation, and forgive freely. You’ll also discover the seriousness of causing others to stumble, the responsibility of church discipline, and the life-changing truth that those who have been forgiven much must extend that same mercy to others.Discover the whole story of God’s Word with Through the Bible with Pastor Paul.

Genesis 30 (Part 2) - Genesis 31 - A Tale of Two Deceivers
What happens when two deceivers go head-to-head? In Genesis 30:25–31, Jacob and Laban each scheme to outsmart the other, using manipulation and trickery to secure their own advantage. Pastor Paul shows how both men relied on their own methods rather than fully trusting the Lord, yet God’s hand was at work behind the scenes. You’ll see Jacob’s gradual growth as he begins to recognize that his prosperity comes from God, not his cleverness, and how the Lord uses even broken, self-serving people to accomplish His plans and display His faithfulness.Subscribe to Through the Bible with Pastor Paul for verse-by-verse teaching through all 66 books of Scripture.

Matthew 17 - The Transfiguration of Jesus
What does it mean to truly see Jesus for who He is? In Matthew 17, Peter, James, and John witness the transfiguration as Christ’s glory shines brighter than the sun, with Moses and Elijah standing beside Him. Pastor Paul explains why this moment revealed Jesus as greater than the Law and the prophets, the One we are commanded to listen to. You’ll also learn how faith must be joined with God’s will, why even mustard seed faith matters, and how Jesus models laying down His rights for the sake of others.Subscribe to Through the Bible with Pastor Paul for verse-by-verse teaching through all 66 books of Scripture, and explore more resources and transcripts at lifebibleministry.com.
