It seems that expository, verse-by-verse teachings of sections of the Word of God are too rare in Christendom today. But clearly, for maximum learning and assimilation of His Truth, they are indispensable. Given the God-breathed content, they are also enlightening, stimulating, and provocative. In one way, the Bible reads somewhat like a grocery list, as it speaks of milk, water, …
God the Life Giver
In the beginning, God created life. As life’s creator, He is invested in life, sustaining it and affirming it. The fact is, God was pro-life way before “pro-life” was a position one could support. All of life finds its source in God, and outside of God there is no life. With regards to mankind, He has committed himself in his …
Grace and Truth
There were two qualities that the scripture says characterizes the life and Ministry of Jesus Christ. Those two qualities are Grace and Truth. As followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we too are supposed to walk in Grace and Truth. Sadly, in many cases contemporary Christianity either emphasizes Grace over truth or truth over Grace, to the injury of the …
Despising the Shame
The cross means many things to many persons. Ultimately, it represents Jesus’s victory over sin. But Jesus was a man, and as scripture tells us, was called to endure the cross and despise the shame it represented. He was tempted in all points, just as all of us are, yet he never sinned.

Ecclesiastes 3:19 and 20 says that animals and man each have the same animating life force within them, which at death is gone, and they then go back to dust. People who have believed God’s Word will be raised up to everlasting life, …
THE TWO ADAMS (Segment 10 Pt2)
The First Adam: “I’ll do it my way.”The Last Adam: “I’ll do it thy way.” Each Old Testament book points to a particular aspect of Jesus Christ’s life and ministry. The Hebrew Scriptures were written primarily for Jesus: to show him who he was, what his mission was, and what reward he would receive for carrying it out. Each time …
Segment 3: Jesus Christ Our Captain
In this exciting overview of the Book of Hebrews, we see the focus on Jesus Christ as the perfect reflection of God’s heart, the supreme sacrifice, the mediator of a better (new) covenant to Israel (he being the high priest thereof), the supreme example of faith/trust, and the one who will help you and me stand for God amidst the …
THE PROMISES IN GOD’S WORD
How do you know if someone loves you? He keeps his Word! GOD keeps His WORD, which is made up of w-o-r-d-s. God does not (“cannot”—Titus 1:2) lie, like people do. Nor does he speak without making sense, as people do. Nor is He silent, as people often are. A PROMISE is a declaration, either written or verbal, that binds …
