What Is the Gospel?

March 31, 2026 • Glenn Williams, Jeff Reed, Mike James • Galatians 3:8, Hebrews 8:8–10, 1 Corinthians 15:20–23, Romans 16:25–26, Revelation 20:11–12

What is the gospel—and is it bigger than what most people have been taught? This message walks through the Bible to show how the gospel was preached from the time of Abraham and unfolds into a powerful plan of salvation, transformation, and ultimate glorification for all humanity. You’ll discover how God is working through different stages to bring His truth to the whole world, revealing the incredible hope found in Christ. If you want to understand the full scope of God’s plan and your place in it, this is a study you won’t want to miss.

The Urim and Thummim

March 24, 2026 • Olivia Doyle, Jeff Reed, Mike James • Hebrews 1:1–2, John 14:26, Exodus 28:30, 1 Samuel 28:6, Numbers 27:21

What were the Urim and Thummim—and how did God use them to communicate with Israel? In this episode, we explore the biblical texts, historical context, and thoughtful possibilities surrounding this mysterious method of divine guidance. From the high priest’s breastplate to the concept of “inquiring of the Lord,” we examine what Scripture reveals—and what it doesn’t. Most importantly, we contrast this with how God leads His people today through His Word and Spirit.

The Family of God

March 17, 2026 • Jim O'Brien, Mike James, Jeff Reed • Hebrews 2:5–10, Romans 8:14–17, 1 John 3:1–2, John 10:34–36, Genesis 1:26–28

What does the Bible really mean when it calls believers the children of God? In this episode of Prove All Things, Jeff Reed, Mike James, and guest Jim O’Brien examine the biblical teaching that God is creating a family and inviting human beings into that relationship through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. They walk through key passages in Genesis, Hebrews, Romans, Acts, and 1 John to explain sonship, inheritance, glorification, and the future God has prepared for His people. This discussion also addresses common misunderstandings and shows why this truth is one of the most profound themes in all of Scripture.
