By the Numbers: Number 1

The number 1 shows up more than 2,500 times in the Bible. It describes people, places, and things. But it also holds much deeper meaning—there are six key phrases that signify the two most important things about God.

In this second episode of the "By the Numbers" series, Dr. Bruce Becker gives us an in-depth look at the number 1. Dr. Becker also challenges us to memorize one all-encompassing verse (he'll teach it to you in Hebrew too, if you'd like!) and shows us why Number 1 is ultimately God's number.

Dr. Becker also mentions his new book, "Gifted for More." This engaging study shows you how to discover your own giftedness and put those abilities into action for God’s glory. Get your copy at timeofgracestore.org.

About our podcast "Bible Threads With Dr. Bruce Becker":

The Bible can be intimidating, right? There are 66 different books, more than 700,000 words, and all of it was written over a period of 1,600 years by dozens of different authors. How do we make sense of it all, and what does it mean for our lives? Amazingly, the Bible is incredibly interconnected with “threads” that run through it from beginning to end. In this podcast, Bible scholar and author Dr. Bruce Becker will uncover these threads, help you dig deeper into God’s truth, and inspire you to live your life with greater confidence and joy.

Dr. Becker brings his vast experience to share with you through this podcast. He has served as the pastor of a mission start in New York State; lead pastor of a church in Brillion, Wisconsin; and a ministry coach to churches and schools.
