The Easy English Bible Study Podcast
In this podcast, I read Bible passages and share my reflections in easy English. It’s a simple and helpful way to study the Bible while improving your English at the same time. I speak slowly and explain ideas in a learner-friendly way so listeners of all levels can follow.
The Bible readings come from a three-year lectionary plan used by many churches around the world. This plan is shared by both Protestants and Catholics:
-
In Protestant churches, it is called the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL).
-
In the Catholic Church, it is known as the Lectionary for Mass.

The Beatitudes of the Sermon on the mount are the focus of this episode. This is the most famous part of the most famous sermon of Jesus. Here is reverses who is blessed. The blessed are not the rich, successful and the powerful but the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek and more. We learn that God sees people differently from the way the world often sees them.

Jesus tells a parable about a king who has a wedding banquet for his son. In this episode we discuss how many of those invited refuse to come and the king has his servants go out and invite “the bad as well as the good”. We then look at why the king throws one person out into the darkness just because he was not wearing the proper wedding clothes. What does that mean? Finally we look at the final verse “for many are invited, but few are chosen”.

The Parable of the Wicked Tenants. In this episode Jesus tells a parable about a vineyard that judges the religious leaders he is speaking to. He tells the religious leaders that the kingdom of God will be taken away from them and “given to a people who will produce its fruit”. This is a warning to us as well today. God has done everything to make it possible for us to produce spiritual fruit (being honest, loving, humble etc.) and He expects us to, though the help of the Holy Spirit, to live lives that produce such fruit.
Jesus also makes several references to the Old Testament including 2 Samuel 12, Psalm 118 and Isaiah chapter 5.
Thank you for listening to this podcast. I hope it is beneficial to you. This is a weekly podcast following the weekly Sunday reading calendar of many Protestant and Catholic Churches.

In this episode the religious leaders question Jesus’ authority. Jesus responds with his own question and then tells them “The Parable of the Two Sons”. He teaches that people who repent and do the will of God will enter the kingdom of heaven ahead of religious people who obey with only words but not with actions.

Is God’s grace unfair? In this week’s reading, Jesus tells the “Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard”. The workers complain that the owner of the vineyard pays the workers unfairly. What about in our lives? Is God too generous to some people? Are we envious? We talk about this topic in this episode of the Easy English Bible Study Podcast where we study the bible and learn English at the same time.

How many times should we forgive someone? In this episode of the “Easy English Bible Study Podcast” Peter asks Jesus how many times should we forgive our sister or brother? Jesus says 77 times which means every time. Should we always forgive people. That is a tough question we talk about in this episode. Jesus tells the parable of the unmerciful servant. Here He teaches us that we should forgive other people in the same way that God has forgiven us.

Jesus teaches who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. In this reading Jesus tells his disciples to become of low position and dependent like little children. Jesus also talks about sin that causes people to stumble and that we should not cause others to stumble and we should get rid of anything in our lives that causes us to sin (stumble). Jesus tells the short parable of finding the one lost sheep to show how much God wants to restore anyone who sins. Finally Jesus explains how to help restore someone who sins who is in your church. In all of this, Jesus shows his great love for the weak and vulnerable.

Jesus predicts his death. In this episode, Jesus says he must go to Jerusalem to suffer, die and be raised on the third day. Peter says “Never Lord” and rebukes Jesus. Here we learn that the disciples did not yet understand Jesus’ mission to die for our sins and be resurrected! Jesus tells Peter “Get behind me Satan” because Peter is getting in the way of God’s plan to save us from sin. In this episode we also learn that the concerns of men and the concerns of God are different. Jesus tells us to “deny yourself and take up your cross”. He also says “whoever wants to save their life must lose it”. We will show our priorities in life by our actions and Jesus will return as judge. We discuss all these things in easy to understand English in this episode.
