Best Dr Ron Larson Podcasts (2024)

Jesus experienced rejection throughout His entire ministry, but the rejection He received in His hometown of Nazareth was particularly painful. Their familiarity with "childhood" Jesus made Him familiar, common, and offensive to them in many respects. In short, they were offended by Jesus and filled of unbelief toward His ministry. As a result, Jes…

6M ago56:53

56:53

What we all need for an amazing new year ahead, is a refresher in the New Covenant! Jesus came to this world full of "grace and truth". Grace comes through Jesus and is a totally free gift to us because Jesus paid for the entire Christian life upfront on the Cross. Jesus gives us a Christian life that is by "grace alone" not by works of the Law. An…

Mark 4:21-41 "UNDERSTANDING GOD'S KINGDOM" 55:41

7M ago55:41

55:41

Jesus told parables to illustrate the Kingdom of God or what life is like under the rule and reign of God. But most people were happy to just hear Jesus' parables and go home afterward. So only those who stuck around and pressed into Jesus got the secrets of the Kingdom. Perhaps the greatest of all Kingdom "secrets" is the revelation that Jesus is …

Mark 3:1-19 "HOW JESUS SOLVED LIFE'S PROBLEMS" 48:12

8M ago48:12

48:12

Jesus was hounded by leaders who tried to trick Him to sin, political leaders who plotted His death, mobs of people that could have crushed Him to death, and bizarre demonic activity that brought confusion to people about His true identity. In all of these things, Jesus had wise solutions to the greatest of life's problems!…

8M ago53:51

53:51

Jesus' battle with the religious leaders of His day gave ample opportunity to demonstrate the profound differences between Himself and the unhealthy religion of the day.

Mark 1:1-15 "PREPARING THE WAY" 1:04:01

9M ago1:04:01

1:04:01

Mark's Gospel reveals Jesus as both the Son of God and the Servant prophesied in Scripture--the Servant-Son who came to powerfully advance God's Kingdom on earth. Throughout Mark we see Jesus as a man of action and authority and he calls us to be the same! Today's message shows how John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus' ministry and gives us …

1 Corinthians 16 "MARANATHA!" 1:09:48

9M ago1:09:48

1:09:48

The ancient Aramaic phrase, "Maranatha" was one of the earliest words that identified Christians to each other in early Christianity. The phrase means: "The Lord has come" in the sense that Jesus came to earth, died, and returned resurrected. It also is something we pray for right now in the present: "Lord, come!" We are hungry for the Lord to retu…

10M ago52:52

52:52

Resurrection is central to our Christian faith: the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, followed by our own future resurrections!

1 Corinthians 15:1-11 "THE ESSENTIAL GOSPEL" 59:12

10M ago59:12

59:12

There are certain truths that we simply must hold onto for dear life! Paul proclaimed those truths and insisted that we must receive them and continue on in those truth in order to be authentic followers of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately some of the Corinthian Christians had a different stand on things--one that was a significant error that Paul simpl…

1 Corinthians 14:20-40 "DOING SPIRITUAL GIFTS WELL" 58:02

11M ago58:02

58:02

The Corinthian church had an abundance of spiritual gifts; however their approach to the gifts was selfish and immature. In this teaching, Paul turns the church from a focus on self to a focus on doing things edify the entire church. Paul puts some practical protocols into place to turn a church meeting into a body-building event. This is very prac…

1 Corinthians 14:1-19 "PROPHECY & TONGUES" 1:11:49

1:11:49

This is a close look at Paul's crystal-clear teaching on the subject of prophecy/giving prophetic words, as well as his thorough explanation of the subject of speaking in tongues.

1 Corinthians 13 "THE WAY OF LOVE" 1:03:04

11M ago1:03:04

1:03:04

This is Paul's teaching on love, sandwiched between two chapters on the gifts of the Spirit! The message is clear and powerful: the gifts of the Spirit are to be done/exercised in line with the fruit of the Spirit, and the greatest fruit of the Spirit is love. God''s love defines how we do the things of the Holy Spirit in the church. This is a life…

1 Corinthians 12:12-31 "HOW JESUS' CHURCH WORKS" 57:59

12M ago57:59

57:59

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12:13 is about being immersed or plunged into Christ's body, the church. This immersion rescues us from our pre-Christ lifestyle of alienation, isolation, and independence. Understanding that Christ designed the church to look and work like a body simply changes everything for us. Nothing but true fre…

1 Corinthians 11:17-34 "SHARING THE LORD'S SUPPER" 1:05:42

12M ago1:05:42

1:05:42

One of the dangers of Bible Study is that it is very easy to use a passage of Scripture out of context. We frequently take bits and pieces of Paul's teaching on the Lord's Supper completely out of context. The result is that we can make it easy to get "religious" about what we're doing. This study brings Paul's brilliant teaching on the Lord's Supp…

1 Corinthians 11:1-16 "PLEASE DON'T GO THERE!" 55:53

1y ago55:53

55:53

If I could be honest with you, there are some passages of Scripture I would rather "not" have to teach because of how sensitive they are! But at Calvary Chapel we just simply teach the Word and take the next passage of Scripture that comes and deal with it honestly! This is a rather difficult passage in that it deals with the spiritual idea of head…

1 Corinthians 10:44-30 "LIVING A LESS OFFENSIVE LIFE" 49:58

Jesus simply sets people free--He is in the freedom business. But what do you do with the freedom that you've been given? What does it look like to use it wisely so that people are not turned off to Christ! This study from Paul's book of 1 Corinthians looks closely at using your radical freedom in Christ wisely!…

1y ago59:57

59:57

Shortly after God powerfully delivered His people from a life of bondage in Egypt, Israel quickly fell deeply into sin. Paul says that these things were written so that we might learn from their example and avoid the pitfalls that tripped them up.

1 Corinthians 9-"PARTNERING WITH PAUL" 1:09:08

1y ago1:09:08

1:09:08

Even though Paul was a genuine Apostle, some saw him as an inferior version of the "real" Apostles in Jerusalem. While he should have been celebrated and supported as an Apostle, they shamelessly undervalued him and left him to fend for himself financially. Paul speaks to this issue of being partners in ministry, and the even greater issue of doing…
