- BAL 2024, Ep22 - Blaspheme, One Spirit, and the Search for Truth
Mar 4, 2026
Join Pastor Doug Batchelor and Pastor Jëan Ross for an episode that begins with the "Amazing Fact" of Whittier, Alaska—a town where nearly every resident lives under one roof. This unique community serves as a powerful metaphor for the Oneness God desires for His church. The pastors discuss the challenge of finding a true church among thousands of denominations, emphasizing that while many are sincere, unity must be built on the foundation of biblical truth rather than the sacrifice of conviction. The broadcast addresses a wide range of listener questions, from the deep prophetic mysteries of the King of the North and South in Daniel 11 to the practical ethics of a Christian serving in the military. The pastors explore the symbolic meaning of the "Abomination of Desolation," the transition from the Old to the New Covenant, and the fate of martyrs in the "Fifth Seal" of Revelation. You’ll also find scriptural insights into the afterlife, including whether oceans will exist in the New Earth and how to understand death as a dreamless sleep until the resurrection. From identifying the "unpardonable sin" to explaining the bizarre story of the young and old prophets in 1 Kings, these answers provide a clear, scripture-based anchor for your faith.
- BAL 2024, Ep20 - Truth about Sin, Prophecy, and Divine Discerning
Mar 4, 2026
Join Pastor Doug Batchelor and Pastor Jëan Ross for an insightful episode that begins with a surprising look at the history of the tomato. Once feared as poisonous in America, this "Amazing Fact" illustrates how easily society can be deceived—a warning Jesus gave about the final days when people would mistake good for evil. The pastors dive into the mechanics of spiritual deception, exploring the "strong delusion" of the last days and providing a clear biblical identification of the Antichrist power. This broadcast addresses a wide range of listener questions, from the deep theological differences between the Old and New Covenants to the practical challenges of re-baptism and maintaining a business while honoring the Sabbath. The pastors offer scripture-based insights into the fall of Lucifer, the biblical distinction between killing and murder, and the mysterious "Third Seal" of Revelation. You’ll also find answers to intriguing questions about early human history, such as the origin of Cain’s wife and whether dinosaurs were present on Noah’s Ark, as well as comforting thoughts on the role of the Holy Spirit in eternity and whether our pets will join us in the New Earth.
- BAL 2024, Ep15 - Political Voting, Biblical Law, and the Pre-Incarnate Christ
Mar 4, 2026
Join Pastor Doug Batchelor and Pastor Alden Ho for an engaging session that begins with the incredible history of Operation Solomon—the evacuation of over a thousand people on a single aircraft. This "Amazing Fact" serves as a powerful illustration of the ultimate deliverance of God’s people at the Second Coming. The pastors dive into deep theological questions, exploring whether the Ten Commandments existed before the fall of Lucifer and the linguistic origins of the name "Jesus." The broadcast addresses pressing topics such as the identity of Michael the Archangel as a title for Christ, the prophetic meaning of the two beasts in Revelation 13, and the biblical perspective on women in pastoral ministry. Listeners also receive practical guidance on a Christian's obligation to vote, how to keep the Sabbath as a business owner, and the true meaning of "woe to those who are pregnant" in end-time prophecy. From the state of the dead to the mysterious story of the young and old prophets in Kings, these scripture-based answers provide clarity for every believer.
- BAL 2024, Ep14 - Female Apostles, Spiritual Vitality, Prophecy, and Global Miracles
Mar 4, 2026
Join Pastor Doug Batchelor and Pastor Jëan Ross for an enlightening episode that begins with a fascinating look at the London Underground. This "Amazing Fact"—that half of the "Underground" is actually above ground—serves as a powerful metaphor for the Church of Sardis, which had a reputation for being alive but was spiritually dead. The pastors discuss how to avoid becoming a "nominal" Christian and how to cultivate a genuine life led by the Holy Spirit. This broadcast addresses a wide spectrum of viewer questions, ranging from the benchmarks in Jesus' life regarding His divine identity to practical advice on Sabbath-keeping while running a business. The pastors provide deep scriptural insights into the identity of the Antichrist, the role of miracles in the last days, and the biblical perspective on women in pastoral ministry. You’ll also find answers to long-standing biblical mysteries, such as the origin of Cain’s wife, the meaning of Paul’s "third heaven" vision, and the prophetic significance of the "iron mixed with clay" in our modern world.
- BAL 2024, Ep23 - Eating Unclean Meat, Tithing, and the Spirit of Prophecy
Mar 4, 2026
Join Pastor Doug Batchelor and Pastor Jëan Ross for an episode that starts with a fascinating "Amazing Fact" about a rare 1975 Roosevelt dime that, due to a missing mint mark, is worth over half a million dollars. This story leads into a deep dive into the meaning of a "dime"—a tenth part—and the biblical principle of tithing. The pastors explain that returning a tenth of one’s increase is a practice that predates the Mosaic law, stretching back to Abraham and Jacob, and remains a powerful way for believers to participate in the gospel today. The broadcast tackles a wide range of questions from around the world, providing scriptural guidance on how to choose edifying entertainment and identifying the diverse roles people held in New Testament times. The pastors offer deep insights into the identity of the "God of forces" in Daniel 11, the pre-incarnate appearances of Christ as Michael the Archangel, and the true meaning of the "testimony of Jesus." Whether discussing the complexities of child support and tithing, the symbolic nature of the Book of Enoch, or how to handle "friendly fire" and discouragement within the church, these scripture-based answers provide a steady anchor for your spiritual walk.
- BAL 2026, Ep07 - Ethnic Groups After the Flood, Global Unrest, and the Power of Choice
Mar 4, 2026
BAL 2026, Ep07 - Miracle on the Waves, Global Unrest, and the Power of Choice Join Pastor Doug Batchelor and Pastor Jëan Ross for a riveting episode that begins with the incredible "Amazing Fact" of 13-year-old Austin Applebee, whose four-hour swim through rough Australian seas saved his family from certain death. This story of courage and divine deliverance serves as a backdrop for discussing how we are all in need of a rescue from the currents of sin. The pastors also address the unfolding tensions in the Middle East, offering a biblical perspective on global unrest and the "blessed hope" of Christ’s return during these turbulent times. This broadcast tackles deep theological and practical questions, including the nuances of original sin versus the freedom of choice found in Ezekiel, and the Christian responsibility toward environmental stewardship. The study explores prophetic signs such as the transition to digital currency and its potential role in end-time "buying and selling" restrictions. From understanding the state of the dead as a peaceful sleep to explaining the symbolic "virgins" of the 144,000 and the history of the Sabbath before Mount Sinai, these scripture-based answers provide clarity and encouragement for your spiritual journey.
- Counterfeits in the Kingdom
Feb 28, 2026
- Complete in Christ Lesson 10
Feb 28, 2026
In this week’s lessons we’ll see Paul warn the Colossians about false teachers promoting human traditions, rituals, and ascetic practices. He shows that Colossians 2 isn’t dismissing God’s Sabbath but addressing man‑made regulations that distracted from Christ.
- Reconciliation and Hope Lesson 9
Feb 21, 2026
In this week's lesson, Paul shows that reconciliation through Christ’s death extends from the entire universe to each individual. Once separated from God by sin, people are personally restored through faith as the cross actively transforms lives and reveals God’s hidden plan in the gospel.
- Power for Persevering Patience
Feb 14, 2026
In this encouraging message, Pastor Doug shares “Power for Persevering Patience,” reminding us that while some face visible disabilities and others carry hidden burdens, we all need God’s strength to endure. Drawing from Scripture and personal experience—especially the story of his brother Falcon’s lifelong battle with cystic fibrosis—he shows how God can use pressure with purpose, build perseverance through a process, teach patience through waiting, and call us to run the race with endurance by laying aside sin and unnecessary weights. The sermon points to the evidence of faith through steadfastness, urges us not to quit when trials are long, and lifts our eyes to the ultimate prize: the crown of life and the promise that in God’s kingdom every disability will be healed and every believer made whole.
- The Preeminence of Christ Lesson 8
Feb 14, 2026
This week we will look at one of the most comprehensive and sublime statements about Jesus in the New Testament. What does it mean that Jesus is “the image of the invisible God,” yet also “the firstborn over all creation” (Col. 1:15, NIV)?

- A Heavenly Citizenship Lesson 7
Feb 6, 2026
This week’s lesson concludes our study of Philippians, and it is packed with valuable lessons and maxims for daily living.
- The Profound Purpose of the Church
Jan 31, 2026
Pastor Doug reframes church as far more than a building or a weekly habit—it’s God’s designed community for growth, mission, protection, love-in-action, and preparation for Christ’s return. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m a Christian, I just don’t need church,” or you’ve been tempted to pull away because of imperfect people, this sermon makes a compelling, practical case for why belonging isn’t optional—and why the church might be exactly what you need right now.
- Confidence Only in Christ Lesson 6
Jan 28, 2026
To guard against the possibility that some might consider their works as contributing to their salvation, Paul makes it clear that righteousness is from Christ as a gift that comes by faith, not by the law.
- Shining as Lights in the Night Lesson 5
Jan 19, 2026
The light and power of heaven is available to all of us who have surrendered our lives to Jesus. But too often either we expect God to do it all or our own ideas and plans get in the way.
- Unity Through Humility Lesson 4
Jan 19, 2026
This week we’ll look at the biblical basis for unity in the church, focusing especially on the amazing condescension of Jesus, the lessons we can gain from beholding Him, and how we can grow to be more like Him.
- Prayer Changes Things
Jan 17, 2026
Discover why the disciples looked at Jesus and asked, “Lord, teach us to pray.” In this message from the Teach Us to Pray series, Pastor Doug makes prayer feel less intimidating and far more life-changing—showing how it can calm anxiety, deepen your relationship with God, and even reshape the “look” of your life from the inside out.

- Life and Death Lesson 3
Jan 10, 2026
Life is short, and it is vital to make the biggest impact possible for God’s kingdom within the span of the years that God grants us. No small part of that impact has to do with our encouraging “the unity of the faith.” As we shall see beginning this week, this theme was one important reason for Paul’s writing to the Philippians.
