Warren Wiersbe Podcast

Christmas is about an eternal promise for eternal life! Discover how the birth of Jesus brings new life to those who believe. This message was given when Dr. Wiersbe was the Senior Pastor at the Moody Church in Chicago, IL, on December 4, 1977.

The town of Bethlehem plays an essential part in the Christmas story. Micah 5:2 foretold the messiah coming forth from Bethlehem, and in this sermon, Dr. Wiersbe explores why God chose Bethlehem as the location of his son's arrival.

Luke 2:8-20 tells the story of the shepherds on the first Christmas night. Why did God reveal the glory of his son to shepherds? Dr. Wiersbe explores this question and what it means for us in this sermon from December 1977.

God used Esther to bless and help the Jewish nation. God had a plan and a purpose for every person in the story, even those who were working against Him. Dr. Wiersbe connects the story of Esther to our own lives. We are all important to God, and we all have a purpose. God will always accomplish His purposes, and ultimately, He will triumph over evil.

Jezebel left a unique legacy in Bible history and causes us to reflect on what we are leaving behind in our lives.

The name Hannah means “grace.” In this message, Dr. Wiersbe examines the grace God gave Hannah as she faced great sorrow in her life and had to depend on the grace of God. As with Hannah, God gives us the same grace in our lives.

Ruth is a love story about the love of God. Ruth worked, waited, and sought after Boaz to redeem her. Likewise, Jesus is willing and able to save us.

Rahab, the harlot, is mentioned three times in the New Testament. She is in the genealogy of Jesus and is listed with the men of faith. Rahab is a tremendous illustration of saving faith and teaches us four lessons about this saving faith.

Every time we see Miriam in the Bible, she speaks or sings. Sometimes, her speech is for good, but when she lets sin creep into her heart, Miriam takes her eyes off God and loses her song. Pastor Wiersbe shows us what we can learn from this singing prophetess.

What’s worse than watching someone deteriorate physically? Pastor Wiersbe suggests that it’s watching a person deteriorate spiritually while pulling others down with them.  When we are first introduced to Rebekah in Genesis 24, she is kind, pure, courteous, and spiritual. But by the end of her life, she was a manipulating, scheming, lying, failure. As we study her life, let us be mindful that we are just as susceptible to this deterioration.

Lot’s wife was worldly. Fixated on the things of the world, she couldn’t leave those items behind to follow God. Her life is a warning for believers. She hoped in the world, but we must place our hope in Jesus. We must not take our eyes off Him.

Sarah learned that it doesn’t pay to laugh at God—He always knows what He’s doing. Dr. Wiersbe uses Sarah’s laughter to teach us about our faith and joy. If we rely on the promises of God, we can have faith to laugh.
