Many of us ask God for something and then start to lose hope when He doesn’t immediately give us what we asked for. God’s timing is always perfect, and He does things a certain way just to get us to believe in Him. In this week’s Bible study, we look at a story dealing with Lazarus and how Jesus brought him back from the dead. Hope you guys enjoy! Be blessed!   Focus: John 11:15   All Verses Cover...

Proverbs 3:5 is definitely a fan favorite, and, without debate, is a beautiful work by Solomon. But do we really put all of our trust in God? When everything hits the fan, when a situation looks like it has absolutely no positive way of turning out, do we run to God and put our trust in Him? Or do we run to someone/something we know is no good for us and will only give us a temporary solution? Let...

What is judgment? So often people say, “Don’t judge me!” But let’s see what it actually is. There is a line between judgement and trying to open someone’s eyes.

This is a very well-known Bible story. Jesus uses parables all of the time. He always uses something physical to get us to understand something physical. In this story, He talks about 5 people being wise and 5 people being foolish. The wise brought oil for their lamps, but the foolish brought no oil. Are you going to be a part of the foolish or a part of the wise? Let’s take a deep dive into the B...

We’re talking about the oneness of God again! This can be a very deep topic, and our goal is to make it as plain as possible to anybody who is interested. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost is all one. The name is Jesus. In the book of Revelation, Jesus declared he is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and ending. The Father is the beginning. The Holy Ghost is the ending. We all know Jesus is...

Jesus says we will all perish if we don’t repent. But, what exactly is repentance? Many of us tell God we’re sorry for doing what He said not to do. Yet and still, we continue to do that very thing.

Y’all be blessed!   Focus Verse: 2 Corinthians 7:1...

Do we have the wisdom of God or the wisdom of man? We can be fooled and think we have the wisdom of God. When we have a lack of an understanding of God’s word, the devil doesn’t have to work so hard to fool us. The only way to truly know is if we take the time to look at God’s word and see what He says. Y’all be blessed!   Focus Verse: 1 Corinthians 1:22   Questions asked during this live stream:...

The devil is a huge copycat. God has His true preachers, and the devil has his. The Bible tells us to beware of these false prophets. A lot of these false prophets will say a lot of things that sound appealing to people. And people will listen, just because it’s what they want to hear. The Bible says they have itchy ears. 9 times out 10 what we need to hear is NOT what we want to hear. Let’s take...

Once we get saved, are we always saved, no matter what we do? Or can we lose our salvation? Firstly, what is the actual way to get saved? In today’s episode, we clear all of these things up.

In Moses’ Law, there are a LOT of rules that they had to follow. They couldn’t eat certain meat, they couldn’t wear certain shirts, etc. One of the main tasks they had to keep was that they couldn’t do any work whatsoever on the Sabbath Day. A lot of people still try to uphold these rules today. Do we have to keep them? As Christians, are we prohibited from eating certain meats? In today’s episode...

Jesus said that just as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man. Noah preached for 120 years that it would rain. 120 years… and all he got to listen to him was 7 people. It was Noah, his wife, their three sons, and his sons’ three wives. Just like today when the true word of God gets spread, no one wants to listen. There is safety in today’s metaphorical ark, just...

When we, as people, look at different situations, we tend to look at them from a natural standpoint. From the natural standpoint, we begin to think, “There’s no way I can make it through this. God has left me. God doesn’t love me.” But, when we start looking at things from a Godly standpoint, our whole mentality starts to change. We may not understand why God allows some of these things to happen...

Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is One! One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism. A huge misconception in today’s teaching is that there are three separate entities that we follow. God, Jesus, and The Holy Ghost. These three are one. It’s all Jesus. It’s the name we pray in. It’s the name we should baptize in. In Revelation, Jesus said He is the alpha and omega, which means the beginning and the end....

Whenever we are about to make a huge decision about anything, the most popular thing we hear is, “Just follow your heart.” 9 times out of 10, what our heart wants is going to be something that goes directly against what God wants. The scripture says that the heart is the most deceitful thing. That’s why David had to pray for a clean heart. In today’s episode, we begin by reading a biblical story a...

What all is the preacher responsible for? Is he someone that we listen to for one (maybe two) day(s) out of the week? Or is he responsible for more than that? The shepard is responsible for the sheep, not the other way around. In this episode, we discuss what all our preachers are responsible for. Those who hear the words of the true preacher hears the words of God. Y’all be blessed!   Focus Verse...

We all know that whenever we need a blood transfusion, we need someone else’s blood. Something spiritual happens when we go down into the water (baptism) and pick up the name of Jesus. A blood transfusion happens. This is something super spiritual. In this evening’s episode, we’re going to discuss how water and blood are connected. We all can have joy in the midst of the storm. Enjoy, and be bless...

Whether on social media, news outlets, or at funerals, when someone dies, I’m sure we’ve all seen that that person has “gotten their wings”. What does this actually mean? Do we get our wings after we die? Or do we get them while we’re still here on earth? We answer this question and many more in today’s episode. Hope everyone enjoys it! Be blessed!   Focus Verse: Psalms 55:5   All Verses Covered:...

Trouble don’t last always! There is always a reason to be joyful in the Lord. Just knowing that we don’t have to spend an eternity separated from God is reason enough to be joyful!
