John 7:1-24 shows why people who knew the Scriptures well still rejected Jesus. His brothers urged him to show his works at the Feast of Booths and win the world's notice, because they did not believe in him.

He comes from the Father, though the crowd thinks it knows all about his hometown. He is returning to the One who sent him, so the time to seek him is short. On the great day of the Feast of Booths, when the priests po...

What was the first thing Noah did when he came out of the ark (Genesis 8:20)? Read the verse and ask whether God told him to build that altar, or whether he went to it of his own heart. Then ask why God had told him to take the clean beasts "by sevens" (Genesis 7:2), long before the flood came. "And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and of...

The speaker lays out the cold hard facts that man is a sinner, but he can't truly know how sinful he is because of his wicked nature, being blinded by Satan, and having a darkened understanding. God the Holy Spirit must come and open the heart, enlighten the understanding and cause a sinner to see a need for salvation before the sinner will ever begin to seek the Lord. It's the Lord that saves.

These trut...

In Ephesians 1:7–12, Paul reveals that God's saving work in Christ extends far beyond the forgiveness of sins.

Christ's blood has purchased our forgiveness, G...

What does the Bible teach about worship music? In Ephesians 5:18–19, Paul shows how Spirit-filled believers are called to worship God through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.
