Our last study addressed thanksgiving for the measure of faith God apportions to members of Christ’s Body, i.e., those who are Called Saints, Romans 12:3 – 8. As we approach the day when many throughout the world celebrate the birth of Jesus, it’s good to contemplate His faith and God’s provision for eternal life; how […]
Inflation is ruining the pocketbooks of many homes, as the prices of everything are rising sky high. Families are struggling to pay for gasoline, food, electricity, and housing. In the future, there will be spiritual inflation, in which the cost of following Jesus will be astronomically high. God revealed king Nebuchadnezzar’s dream to Daniel. In […]
Chapters 9 – 11 of Romans teach the Sovereignty of God in Election & Restoration: Election in that God chose/elected the Nation of Israel to be His people, however they rejected Him, first when they crucified their Messiah, then when they stoned His messenger Stephen to death, thus rejecting the offer of His Kingdom; Restoration […]

Previous studies covered Romans 9:1 – 29, which begins with the Apostle Paul writing that he could wish himself accursed from Christ for his brethren, his kinsmen according to the flesh, Romans 9:1 – 3: “Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the […]

About 3,844 years ago when the entire human race worshiped pagan gods, God called Abram (later Abraham) out from that morass of sin and promised him his progeny would become a great nation; He would bless those who bless him and curse those who curse him and all nations of the earth would be blessed […]
I have no desire to teach Revelation. Even after all these years, the symbolism is confusing to me. Thankfully, the early part that deals with the churches seems clear. And the end is also clear: Jesus wins! But today, as I was reading chapter 16, it was as though I heard a shout from Heaven, […]
Revelation, the last book of our Bible, opens with a “beyond amazing” description of the resurrected Christ. According to Hebrews, when He became a man, He was “made a little lower than the angels.” But now, He has returned to His glorious place at the right hand of the Father in Heaven as a full […]
