In the opening verses of the sixth chapter of Paul’s letter to the Romans he offers some powerful teaching on how one can become dead to sin and the role baptism plays in this death. What does the Holy Spirit teach in this text? Have you died to sin? Transcript

Paul’s letters encourage us towards a spiritual perspective on life that rises above what our eyes can see, and our hands can touch. This is especially true in his words in 1 Corinthians 7:29-31. What lessons can this teach us about how Christians should view their lives in this world? Transcript

The apostle Paul told the Corinthians, “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it” (1 Cor. 10:13, NKJV). How is this demonstrated in David's sin with Bathsheba? What were his his ways “of escape” an...

To the south of the ancient city of Jerusalem a valley curved to the west that was first identified in Scripture as “the valley of the Son of Hinnom” (Josh. 15:8; 18:16). It is first mentioned as a landmark setting the boundaries of the territories of Judah and Benjamin. As time went on this valley would be associated with some of the most horrible acts of wickedness and serve as a figure and a na...

In Matthew 5:33-37 Jesus offers the fourth of a series of antitheses by which He contrasts His own teaching with Mosaic Law and rabbinical tradition. This contrast addresses the issue of oaths . What does Jesus prohibit in this text and how must His commands be applied today? Transcript

Two commands found in the New Testament could easily be misunderstood as offering contradictory instructions to Christians regarding their behavior towards others. What are these passages and what is the Holy Spirit teaching in these two passages? Transcript

Throughout history there have been religious groups that have believed that the promises of Christ reigning for 1000 years, described in Revelation chapter twenty, speak of a coming earthly kingdom. Let’s consider what the Bible teaches about these doctrines. Transcript

Paul ends his second epistle to the Corinthians in much the same way he ends many of his epistles, with personal greetings and words of encouragement. Of particular note is the command, “Greet one another with a holy kiss” (2 Cor 13:12, NKJV). What exactly is Paul commanding here? Is this command binding on us today? If not, how does this differ from other commands we are given? Transcript

Because of so much division and confusion in the religious world, many people believe the Bible is not a book that can be understood and followed. In the religious world, some have taught that the Bible cannot be properly understood without the church or the Holy Spirit aiding in its interpretation. What does the Bible teach about this? Transcript

Mark 12:30 reads— “‘you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment” (NKJV). How does Jesus use the term "heart" here? What does it mean to love God with all of the heart? Transcript

Have you ever formed a religious concept in your head, that seems so clear, so true, and so logical—but the source of that concept is not Scripture? The intensity of the thought can be almost overwhelming, as you start to feel as if you understand the mind of God. The question you must ask if you have ever been faced with such a strong feeling is, How do you know? Transcript

Change is one on the constants we can expect in life. This can be frightening and unsettling. What a comfort it is to know that in a world filled with change, we serve a God who does not change. His eternal nature offers us the assurance and security we need in an ever-changing world Transcript
