Here is a father who has a loved and favoured son, who is despised and suffers at the hand of his brothers,

Welcome to Help Me Teach the Bible.

This is the podcast for people who love God's Word.

And we go to God's Word for more than just a little pick-me-up or inspiration for the day.

We go to God's Word because we know that when we open God's Word, we will hear God speak to us.

He will enliven this word that is living and active.

And because we love God's Word and because it has spoken to us, we want to be

capable communicators of God's word to other people. And we recognize that the word of God

has a Holy Spirit author emphasis that we want to get at when we study God's Word, and we want that to be at the center

when we give God's Word out. I am in Barrington, Illinois today, and I'm in the office of one of

my favorite Bible teachers, and that is Colin Smith. If you've been a listener to help me teach the

Bible, you may remember that we talked with him last

for having me back to your office to talk more with you and ask you to help us teach the Bible.
