What does it mean when Jesus tells the woman at the well, that we will worship in Spirit and truth? Christian Vincze opens up John 4 and helps the church to better understand this passage.

Why is the incarnation of the Son so important to the Christian Faith? What happens if we give up this doctrine? Must I believe that God became Man in order to be saved?

The Nicene Creed affirms that Christ is the "only begotten Son" of the Father. What does this mean? Where do we find this in the scriptures? Is it really that important anyway?

Paul comforts the Ephesian church even in his own affliction. What motivates him to joy in the midst of suffering?

God's judgment on Ninevah in the book of Nahum is a foreshadowing of God's judgment on Satan.

God created the church in Christ in order accomplish his purposes in the world.

In Ephesians 2:11-18 Paul expands on the teaching that the church is the new creation in Christ, the workmanship of God.

Because of our depravity (Ephesians 2:1-3) we have no hope for salvation by our own means. But God has saved us by His grace. In this study we examine what exactly conversion is and how God has done the work of converting us from death to life.

Paul sets out to tell us why God's work on our behalf is necessary. Why do we need Jesus? Why do we need salvation? Aren't human beings basically good?

When God pours out his wrath on Nineveh we learn that God is to be feared. But is it right that Christians should fear the Lord? What does it mean to trust in Christ and fear the Lord?

When Paul says that God's power is toward us (the church), what does that mean? And how is the church the fullness of Christ? These two questions broaden our understanding of just how important the church is in God's plan of redemption.

What is the relationship between the sovereignty of God in salvation, our believing in the Gospel, and the gift of the Holy Spirit?

Paul continues in this word of praise by counting the blessings of those who are in Christ. This week's passage centers around the redemption we have in Christ and the revelation we have of Christ.

Paul emphasizes that the blessings we have in Christ are "in the heavenly places," why is this such an important idea in Christianity? Why does it matter?

Who is Paul? What are saints? What does it mean to be greeted by God?

Through Joseph we learn what it means to trust God.

As Jacob dies and is buried we observe the foundations for the Christian understanding of death.

As we arrive at Jacob's blessing of Joseph we find that Jacob truly is hoping in what is to come.

49:28 describes all that takes place in 49 as a blessing ceremony. How so? Are these truly all blessings? Also why does the Messiah have red eyes?

Out of all of Jacob's life, this day when he adopts and blesses his grandsons is the day that Hebrews 11 says is proof of his faith. Why?

God teaches Jonah (and us) about his mercy. Christians should be disciples of Christ in how we show mercy- we shouldn't be like Jonah.
