Directional Bible Ministries

In our study through Ephesians today, we break into chapter two where Paul reminds us that even through we used to walk according to this world in our trespasses and sins, and obeyed the desires of our flesh, now we have been made alive in Christ because of his great love toward us.

In our study today we take a closer look at Paul's prayer, break it down, and discuss what it means to us, Christ's place of honor, heavenly places, principalities and powers, and the world's future subjection to him.

In our study today we take another look at verse 10 regarding the fulfillment of times, and Paul's specific prayer for the Ephesian believers.

Today we explain what Paul meant when he was speaking about those who had trusted after that they had heard the word of truth which was the gospel of their salvation, the sealing of the Holy Spirit, and the earnest of our inheritance which will be realized one day.

In our study today, we take a look at the dispensation of the fullness of times when God gathers all things together in him and the inheritance that we have been predestined to that we might be the praise of his glory.

In our study today we find Paul telling the Ephesian believers that they have been redeemed through the blood of Christ because of the richness of God's grace and that his ministry since his salvation was to make all men see the revelation of the mystery that was revealed to him.

Today we take a look at Paul's introduction to the letter and some of the spiritual blessings that believers have in Christ.

Today I introduce the book and explain why I feel the need to study through the book again and when and where Paul wrote the letter.

Seven Reasons for Right Division Reason #1: The Bible must be rightly divided in order for it to make sense and not contradict.

Knowing what belongs to you is just as important as knowing what does not belong to you. If we are going to grow in our knowledge of the Bible, we must understand that it must be rightly divided for it to make sense and not contradict. The church today fails to do this on so many levels. In today's study we are looking at how to divide truth for the nation from truth for the church.

Many teach today that upon salvation, we the church (Body of Christ) become part of spiritual Israel. My third point is that for them to do this, they must ignore the teaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery to Paul.

Many teach today that upon salvation, we the church (Body of Christ) become part of spiritual Israel. My second point is that for them to do this, they must reject the significance of God's separation of Israel from the Gentiles.

Many teach today that upon salvation, we the church (Body of Christ) become part of spiritual Israel. My first point is that for them to do this, they must deny the precise fulfillment of prophecy given specifically to Israel.

Many teach today that upon salvation, we the church (Body of Christ) become part of spiritual Israel. Not physical Israel, but a spiritual one. My question today is if the Bible truly teaches that?

We conclude our study today through the book of Galatians by taking a closer look at Paul's concluding remarks and admonitions to the church in Galatia regarding restoration of those who had fallen and their restoration.

In today's study, we see Paul encouraging the Galatian believers to avoid the teaching of the Judaizers who were telling them that they needed to place themselves back under the Law, but to instead walk in the Spirit and the liberty that had been afforded to them by the the gospel of grace. He also encourages them to be quick to restore those who had stumbled in their walks, keeping in mind that i...

From the Road - Galatians 5:19-23

From the Road - Galatians 5:16-18

In our study today we see Paul encouraging the Galatian believers to stand fast in the liberty that has been given to them by their simple faith in Christ's completed work on the cross. He also warns them to steer clear of those who were telling them that they needed to place themselves back under the works of the law, and that to do so, would forfeit grace.

In our study today Paul continues to make his arguments against the Judaizers who were attempting to lead the Galatian grace believers back into law. He does this by allegorically comparing Hagar and Sarah and Ishmael and Isaac. His conclusion is that they needed to cast out the legalists.

In todays study, Paul continues to plead with the Galatian believers to not be mislead by the Judaizers who were trying to alienate them from him and lead them to the bondage of the law. His desire was that the relationship that they had with him in the beginning be restored, and lets them know that he is not their enemy.

In todays study we see how that we are now the sons of God because God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts. Therefore, we are no longer servants, but heirs through Christ. Specifically, Paul is addressing Galatians Gentile believers that made up the Body of Christ; both Jew and Gentile of which we are a part of today.

In today's study, we see that those who are of faith are heirs according to the promise that God gave to Abraham. This is possible because Christ fulfilled the law so that both Jews and Gentiles can now be saved simply by faith.

In today's study, we review verse 19 and work our way through verse 28 where we see Paul continuing to show to the Galatian believers that the law was given to preserve the nation until Christ should come, the law was the nation's schoolmaster, until they could be justified by faith just like Abraham. Now, we are all the children of God by faith and faith alone.
