In this continuation of the study in the Book of Acts chapter 17, Paul addresses the people of Athens at the altar to the unknown God. He declares the one true God who made the world and all things, who is Lord of heaven and earth and does not dwell in temples made with hands. God gives life and breath and all things to all people, has made all nations of one blood, and has determined their times...

This video continues the Book of Acts series in chapter 17 starting from verse 11. The Bereans are described as more noble than those in Thessalonica because they received the word with readiness and searched the Scriptures daily to verify what they heard. Many in Berea believed including honorable Greek women and men while Jews from Thessalonica stirred up the people against Paul. Paul is sent to...

In this impromptu conversation me and Don talk about the importance of thinking about what you read in the Bible instead of just reading through it. We start with John chapter 17 where the Lord Jesus Christ says sanctified them through thy truth thy word is truth and how it applies to all believers who come after the disciples. We discuss meditation from Psalm 119 on having more understanding than...

We discuss our ongoing study in the book of Leviticus. The burnt offering, peace offering, sin offering, trespass offering, and meat offering sections stand out as especially informative. Details on temple services in Jerusalem come up too. We read viewer comments on the literal grammatical historical hermeneutic. We also discuss salt possibly as the token of the Levitical covenant.

In this off-the-cuff chat, Don and I talk about why we trust the King James Bible as God's perfectly preserved word for English speakers. We compare it to modern versions like the NASB, NIV, and ESV, point out real differences (like "only begotten Son" in John 3:16), look at missing verses and sketchy footnotes, and explain why this stuff actually matters for your faith and growth. W...

This Bible study covers Leviticus chapter 2, focusing on the grain offerings and rules for first fruits.

We continue our Leviticus study into chapter 2 after wrapping up chapter 1 thoughts. Benjamin Keach's book on biblical types is recommended.

In Acts 17:1-11, Paul reasons from the Scriptures in the Thessalonica synagogue over three Sabbaths, showing that Christ must suffer and rise again (referencing Isaiah 53:10), leading some Jews, Greeks, and women to believe. Envious unbelieving Jews stir up a mob against Jason and accuse the believers of proclaiming another king, Jesus. Paul and Silas flee to Berea, where the Bereans are called mo...

Acts chapter 16, we explore Timothy's background in Derbe and Lystra as the son of a Jewess and a Greek father, his circumcision by Paul to reach the Jews without linking it to salvation, and the principle of sacrificing personal liberty for the gospel's sake as outlined in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23. The discussion covers Paul's journey through Phrygia and Galatia, being forbidden by the H...

In this study of Acts chapter 15, certain men from Judea teach that Gentiles must be circumcised after the manner of Moses to be saved, leading to strong dissension from Paul and Barnabas. They travel to Jerusalem to consult the apostles and elders, where Peter notes that Gentiles received the Holy Ghost by faith, just as the Jews, without the yoke of the law. James agrees, citing prophets, and de...

In this Bible study on Acts chapter 14, Paul and Barnabas preach in Iconium (modern Konya, Turkey), leading many Jews and Greeks to believe despite opposition, then flee threats of stoning to Lystra and Derbe in Lycaonia, continuing to share the gospel defined in 1 Corinthians 15 as Christ's death for sins, burial, and resurrection witnessed by Cephas, the twelve, and over 500 brethren. In Lys...
