Man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart. (I Sam. 16:7) This Bible study examines the life of David, the greatest king in history! David’s reign set the standard for all who would follow. Equally gifted with harp and sling, he could praise God one moment and kill his enemies […]
While many have urged us to think about marriage psychologically, sociologically, economically, biologically, anthropologically, and historically, few have offered to help us think about it in the most important manner of all: theologically (biblically). To try to understand marriage without referencing God makes as much sense as studying aviation without making mention of the Wright […]
When Jesus called his disciples, he said simply, “Follow me.” He was inviting them on a journey. He himself would show the way. In fact, he was the way (John 14:6)! The classic biblical description of this journey with God is the story of how Israel left Egypt, guided by the pillar of fire as it […]
John’s Gospel is written so that those who read it may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah. The first 12 chapters relate a series of miracles (called “signs”) that make such faith possible. Jesus turns water to wine, heals the sick, feeds the hungry, and raises the dead so that honest seekers have […]
Jesus - The one who saves us from our sinsWhen Christians think about Jesus saving us from our sins, we usually think about our personal sins, the sins we commit. However, the problem of sin is much deeper and more complex. We can live as slaves to sins we don’t commit as well—the physical, spiritual, […]
Who am I? Is there a God? If there is a God, what is he (she? it? they?) like? How did the universe begin? What’s the meaning of life? Why is there so much suffering? What does the future hold? The book of Genesis was written precisely for people who ask big questions. By pointing […]
to be HolyHow do we live a holy life in an unholy society? How do we live as children of God who represent him faithfully in the world? These are some of the questions that God’s people have faced and continue to wrestle with today. Christians who live in counter-cultural ways often endure the pressures […]
God on the moveActs is the account of how the movement of Jesus began small and went multi-national. There are good reasons for this, all rooted in character of God. He was on the move and His believers were moving with Him, witnessing and discipling as they went. Similarly, we can be part of His […]
In Joshua, Judges, and Samuel, we see the Covenant ideal served, lost, and recovered. But what then? Will the kings of Israel do what the covenant with Yahweh requires of them or not? If not, why? And what does that mean, both for them and for us? What are the obstacles to being faithful to […]
An Undivided Heart“The Francis Asbury Society was organized to perpetuate the biblical message of heart holiness—an undivided heart—a life ‘wholly devoted to God’ . . . to preach the gospel of an undivided heart, a heart filled with love for God to the extent that a person’s got his hands off, and Christ possesses him.” —Dennis KinlawCD and […]
Read this inspiring story, then come prepared to share about the missionary life and ministry of Helen Roseveare.
In the next to the last book of the Bible, Jesus’ brother, Jude, describes in twenty-five verses how believers can stand firm for the “faith once for all delivered to the saints.” Confronting the pervasive apostasy and blatant heretical teaching within the fellowship of Christ, Jude exhorts all true disciples of Jesus to persevere by […]
