We study the failure of faith that escalated from fear of the Israelites going into the land of Canaan.

In the story of Cain and Abel, we see the first occurrence of the animosity, hatred, even pinnacling in murder of the wicked against the righteous.

We see the early church fervently followed the commission of Jesus to be the house, the dwelling place of prayer.

We need to labor fervently for others […] The post Laboring Fervently in Prayer appeared first on Clear...

We consider together the steadfast commitment of the early, original church and the kingdom in the breaking of bread – not just in the observance of communion, but in the consistent fellowship of inviting other brothers and sisters into their home to partake of supper and food.

Let us lift our gaze from the turmoil […] The post The Footstool & The Throne appeared first on Clear Springs Primitiv...

The sword of Goliath was probably larger than a normal size man, and was a great reminder of the Lord’s faithfulness to deliver his people from their enemies by the Lord’s sword, not by man.

The church must remain steadfast in fellowship as well. Fellowship is directly linked to the apostles’ doctrine.

Thinking on the line from the hymn How Great Thou Art, we consider what is the song of my soul? Our souls might be cast down or disquieted to where we feel like we cannot even sing.

Using the example of Jacob and Esau at their birth, we study the prophecy and lesson of two manner of people in this world – the elect that are guided by the Holy Spirit and then the non-elect that are only guided by self-interest.

It’s a very common struggle for a child of God to question, “Am I really saved?” We study from 1st John the evidences that one is already born again, already a child of God. Do you believe in Christ?
