Jon Courson

I've been really getting into a lot of his teachings lately. He's an interesting teacher and is incredibly likeable just to listen to him.

Here's a link. He has audio on every book of the Bible.

I really enjoy listening to Jon Courson. In fact I listen to him frequently durring my "privite church time." A couple of things I have notice though, is one, his interpritations can be very subjective. Meaning that just a person reading the bible on their own may not see the application he is making in the text. (not that I have a problem with it, some of the things he has pointed out have been very helpful to me.) And two, his eschatology is extremely dispensational, which I personally do not agree with, but the bible is full of many more things than just that.

Oh, and I have also noticed that he has used a few urban legends as examples and has probably unknowingly stated them as facts. (Many people have done this unknowingly though, not just him.)

Really though, I like him

True, Dolphin...
He does seem to find application that was not necessarily intended (most likely) when the particular scripture he speaks on was written. But I kind of like that. You tend to hear much of the same ol' same ol' on so many passages. You can always count on Courson for a different and interesting twist. My wife and I have just been loving his sermons. And we don't always agree on favorite speakers.

And on his eschatology. I have no problem with it. I don't necessarily agree on all his points, but I happen to have a dispensational view as well.

Hi Aaron (and MLH too!)

Speaking of Courson putting an interesting "twist" on things. Have you ever listened to his teachings on Leviticus? He made what is considered by many people to be a very boring book quite exciting.

Two of my personal favorites are:
Leviticus 1-7
The Resurrection: A Bird's-Eye View (Leviticus 14:1-7)

A couple of other ones that I really like that are not in Leviticus are:
One More Night With The Frogs (Exodus 8:1-10)
The Poison Of Pride (Obadiah)

Thank you for the opportunity to share with you

Hey Dolphin,
I am currently going through his Leviticus study. Really really interesting stuff. I'm only on Ch. 14 so far. I loved the clean and unclean animals study. Real good stuff.

Thanks for the other suggestions. I'll be sure to check 'em out.

Hi Aaron,
I just listened to "The Cutting Edge:2 Kings 6". It was fantastic! In fact, that was exactly the thing I really needed to hear. (Odd isn't it?)

Thank you very much for the suggestion

God bless!
