Whitcomb Ministries

A Good and Faithful Servant

"A Good and Faithful Servant." That's the title of a new volume by Dr. David Whitcomb, published by Master Books, that tells the life story of our Bible teacher, Dr. John Whitcomb. David joins us for this special edition of "Encounter God's Truth" to share some of his father's history, and to explain why he was motivated to write this book. Host Wayne Shepherd conveys Whitcomb Ministries' enthusiasm for this project, and welcomes our audience to be inspired anew by this biography of beloved author and theologian, Dr. John Whitcomb. Thanks for listening, and please pass this program on to a friend!

Only One Said 'Thank You'

Do we spend enough time focusing on Thanksgiving? In this classic rerun, we listen to Dr. John Whitcomb's teaching on this timely question in a special holiday episode of our broadcast, "Encounter God's Truth." Basing his presentation on the gospel account of Jesus' healing of 10 lepers, our teacher also took us to several other Scriptures that demonstrate the vital importance of giving thanks to the Lord. Host Wayne Shepherd also asked Dr. Whitcomb to expand on the emphasis that the Apostle Paul placed on thankfulness in the great passage in Romans 1. We pray that your Thanksgiving celebration will be richly blessed, and we are glad that you have chosen to make "Encounter God's Truth" a part of it. May God help us all to look to Him during this holiday season.

A Gospel Worth Living For

Enjoy this special presentation featuring the classic Bible teaching of Dr. Daniel Pritchett. Dr. Pritchett is a long-time pastor and the son of Dr. and Mrs. John and Norma Whitcomb. Dr. Pritchett grew up on the mission field in the Philippines. He is a graduate of Grace College, Grace Theological Seminary and Dallas Theological Seminary. We are grateful to the Bridge Church in Martinsburg, W.Va., for allowing us to share this audio with you here.

The Necessity of God's Word (Part 2)

We conclude our series on "Biblical Apologetics" this weekend on "Encounter God's Truth." Please join us for teaching that originated at Appalachian Bible College in Mount Hope, W.Va. Dr. John Whitcomb concludes his sermon on, "The Necessity of God's Word." In this message, we focus on the energy that Scripture has as it impacts our hearts and minds with God's eternal truth. As Dr. Whitcomb shows us in this lesson, it's more formidable than the greatest human intellect—and even more powerful than seeing a miracle! Thank you for listening to this broadcast outreach of Whitcomb Ministries. Host Wayne Shepherd reminds us that our purpose each week is to explore the reality that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end. May the Lord bless you during this week ahead!

The Necessity of God's Word (Part 1)

This week on "Encounter God's Truth," Whitcomb Ministries presents the next installment in our series on "Biblical Apologetics." The message will be the first portion of a sermon by Dr. John Whitcomb called, "The Necessity of God's Word." Listen as host Wayne Shepherd leads us back to Appalachian Bible College in Mount Hope, W.Va.—where we learn to strengthen our faith in the reality that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end. Our teacher shows us that we have a power source that is readily available, which allows us as mere finite human beings to have victory and influence in the spiritual realm—even though we are opposed by all the enemies of God and His gospel (both human and demonic), as well as our own sin natures. This power source is nothing hidden or mysterious, but something that is readily available to each of us—the Holy Scriptures. Thank you so much for listening to this week's program. Please feel free to share it with others and be sure to tell your friends about our ministry.
