LightWk Bible Studies

Of the myriad of questions from the first chapter of the book of Corinthians, the Question and Answer session today spotlights the issue of baptism, one of the issues Paul highlights as a division in the Corinthian church, and how some aspects of that issue play out in the church today.

In today's Bible study, Paul continues the flow of focus by pointing the Corinthians to set their hearts back on Christ, God's central message. He reminds them that the cross is the object of their faith and testimony.

In today's service, we fix our eyes on the closing verses of 1st Corinthians Chapter 1. We see Paul show us how God's electing grace saves out, with no merit or power on our part. He reminds us of the ever-constant power in the cross and where our merit with God truly lies.

In today's portion of scripture, we see how Paul draws the attention of the Corinthian church back to its original position amidst the squabbles and divisions in the church. He reminds them that it is the Christ cruxified who is the wisdom and the power of God to save men, not wordly wisdom nor power.

There are questions that usually tend to follow close behind after certain portions of scripture are explained to us. In this question and answer session, listen to the essence of the text broken down from the questions that arise in our hearts on the questions of the church's unity as a body united together and in Christ.

Beyond Paul's greetings and reassurances to the church in Corinth, there lies various issues Paul needs to address in this body of Christ. Today, we explore the quarrels and divisions that faced the Corinthian church and how Paul reminds them where their attention ought to be.

We delve further into our journey into the opening part of Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. Paul shows us in these verses what it means for the church to be full of grace and full of assurance.

In today's service, our sermon goes in-depth into the opening verses of 1st Corinthians 1:1-3. Paul shows us what it means to be the church—the called of Christ—and how that sets us in contrast with the rest of the world.

In this snippet from the introduction to the book of 1st Corinthians, we address the two major questions raised in the course of our study: Can unmarried pastors counsel/preach to married couples? Do we need labels and tags that help us identify the summary of our beliefs if Paul is urging us in 1 Corinthians to be of the same mind and conviction?

We begin our first expository journey for the year 2025 with the book of 1st Corinthians. Today we introduce the book in its context, background, the big idea, and the various discussions and issues Paul tackles in this ancient yet relevant letter to the Corinthian church of Christ.

We spend our last moments in 2024 together in fellowship, recalling the Lord's goodness to us and His fathfulness in enabling us to take strides of faith. 2025 is knocking, and we stand ready with a desire that the lost will be saved, God's people will know him better, and that God may be glorified in our lives. On these things, we set our hearts for the new year.

It's our last Bible study meeting for the year. In today's meeting we continue our reflections on the studies through the year alongside our book reviews and discipleship activities; how they have shaped us this year, with a view to do and be more in the coming year, for the sake of Christ and to His glory.

Today is the last Sunday of 2024. In today's Sunday service, we take a brief walk-through of all the expository books we've covered through the year and the great lessons we've learnt from God's word as we reflect and prepare for the year ahead.

The year is coming to an end. Today, as we fellowship, we reflect on and share the lessons of God's goodness that we've learnt through the books of the Bible we've studied (as a house and individually) this year and how they've shaped us—our understanding of God and becoming better Christians.

The celebration of the Lord's birth is upon us, and countless numbers of people are celebrating the birth of the most important person in history. In this Christmas service sermon, we deeply explore what the incarnation of Christ means for us, the power of God's omnipotence on display, and why we celebrate this divine event in history, the Christmas.

The Christmas season is upon us, and in today's service, we set our hearts towards the celebration of the birth of our Messiah. We remind ourselves through scripture of the importance of the birth of our Messiah and its nexus with his life and death that gifted mankind its salvation.

We close out the book of Habakkuk in today's Bible study. We take a final stride through Habakkuk's petition and God's holiness against sin and unrighteousness, sharing the lessons learnt and reminding ourselves of God's steadfastness. We also share a few things that could be helpful in expository Bible study.

Today we continue our recap, sharing lessons from the book of Habakkuk. Today we spotlight the patience of God and the blessed Hope of Habakkuk's assurance that God is for him, and that the Lord, although not according to his initial preferences, is acting and answering his prayers.

We start our recap today as we open the floor for discussions and questions in the book of Habakkuk, reflecting on the issue of Habakkuk's petition, sin and the faith that the just shall live by.

We wrap up our overview on the book of Habakkuk in today's service. We take up the issue of God's holiness as it contrasts Habakkuk's petition of God's passiveness to sin. We are reminded once again that God is proactive against sin and like Habakkuk, this turns our petition into praise for the God who saves.

Today we wrap up our overview for the entire book of Habakkuk in chapter 3. We see the powerful shift in Habakkuk's heart and in his dialogue with God; he goes from petition to praise, from fear to faith, from sadness to singing, prophesying and waiting upon the salvation of God.

We continue our overview into the book of Habakkuk, we take a look at the nature of Habakkuk's second wave of complaints against God, God's response once more; responding with a promise to deal woes to the very nation he will use to judge his people.

As we begin our overview into the book of Habakkuk chapter one, we see the nature of Habakkuk's complaint against God's passiveness to injustice and how God affirms to Habakkuk that He's proactive, just in ways Habakkuk wasn't expecting.

In today's service, we tie up the introduction to the book of Habakkuk. We glean through the big idea of the book; God's holiness, Habakkuk's complaint about God's passiveness to sin and injustice and how God's holiness counters these claims with the consistency of his character.

As the year draws to a close, we take a dive into another minor prophet, Habakkuk. We explore the background of the book, its setting, references from it in the new testament and where we find the gospel, in this Book.
