  • A Generous Gospel (Remastered)
    May 15 2026

    New Testament Themes E4 — In the Apostle Paul's mind, the good news about Jesus becomes most persuasive when his followers live with incredible generosity. And that’s because radical generosity permeates the New Testament, most powerfully revealed in Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. In this fourth message in a six-part series, Tim teaches from 2 Corinthians 8 on how financial generosity demonstrates the claim that Jesus really is the risen Lord of the world. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Ore., on November 11, 2012.

  • Protecting the Witness (Remastered)
    May 8 2026

    New Testament Themes E3 — In the New Testament, “witness” is what Jesus' followers do together as they live, committed to one another and to Jesus. How is this understanding of witness different from how it’s viewed in modern Christianity? And how can we protect this kind of communal witness? In this third message in a six-part series, Tim traces the theme of witness in the book of Acts, concluding in Paul’s farewell speech in chapter 20. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Ore., on October 28, 2012.

  • The Cost of Following Jesus (Remastered)
    May 1 2026

    New Testament Themes E2 — Many who are intrigued by Jesus of Nazareth have a difficult time balancing his overwhelming generosity and grace with his challenging call to discipleship and making serious sacrifices. So how do these two aspects of Jesus go together? This second message in a six-part series looks at some of the very challenging things Jesus says about counting the cost of following him in Luke 14. Tim gave this message at Door of Hope Church in Portland, Ore., on October 7, 2012.

highly recommend for those seeking to learn about the truth of the gospel. Tim's podcast has helped me deepen my understanding about the bible, christianity and it's purpose and place in the world.

I began by stumbling upon the bible project by watching the short animated videos and became hooked. I then moved onto the podcasts which turned into a daily habit and came back here to exploring my strange bible podcast. I have learnt so much and really enjoy both. Fantastic

Tim is brilliant, educational, interesting and passionate as usual 🙂
