Grace Oriented Bible Teaching

Pastor Steve shares with us some Scriptures and thoughts in relationship to his father's death. These Scriptures should be helpful for believers as we think through these situations.

What happened at Mars Hill? What did Paul do right and what did he do wrong?

Does Romans 7 describe Paul's unsaved situation or his Christian experience? We'll look at why it matters that we know.

The Church is not Israel. This study considers several statements that distinguish the Church and Israel. This is important because we do not share the same future promises.

Paul's first scriptural letter was 1 Thessalonians. This letter contains several references to our being in Christ and demonstrate this was part of Paul's teaching very early.

Paul suffered hardship and opposition after leaving Philippi. We look at some of those struggles in this study.

God has made a way for believers to have freedom or victory over their sin nature.

Where did the sin nature originate? We also begin with a short testimony from Kenia about putting the Christian life into practice.

Our stability rests on our access to God. That access is granted by grace not because we deserve it.

Paul continues building a case that everyone is equally lost.

Understanding the Scriptural teaching about the Millennium has practical effects for the believer.

Let's review the issues in James and how his readers' needs may be reflected in our interactions with each other.

Can a believer lose their salvation? How can we help others with our "prayer"?

What does James mean by confession? What is the problem requiring confession?

We will not understand this text if we don't distinguish the needs of these different people or the types of communication "prayer" that James says they need.

Waiting for the Lord should change how we live. But the Lord promised to return two thousand years ago. How should we understand the promise of His return?

God has planned works for us as believers. How do these fit into the issue of considering the responsibility of believers with their wealth?

James addresses the rich. Are these believers or unbelievers? How should these conclusions shape our attitudes and actions?

James calls us to think carefully about how our words and seemingly innocent choices can affect other believers. We are called to do God's will.

Can Christians become spiritual adulteresses? How can we respond to this problem?

Tracing Paul's travels recorded in Acts helps us understand when Paul wrote his letters. This will help us see the progress in Christian life truth.

The amillennial view of the future argues there are two ages. This study examines Scripture's revelation that there were multiple past ages and there will be multiple future ages. We consider what an age is.

This study considers the work of Paul and his companions in Philippi.

Paul began his second apostolic trip in Acts 16. The Spirit did not allow Paul to serve in two areas. We'll consider God's timing versus ours.

James explains why some fights or struggles happen in our assemblies.
