SWAT Bible Study

Doug finishes up our study of Chapter 12 of Hebrews looking at our race of FAITH and the two races we can run! We can run to Sinai or Zion? This passage reveals God's instructions to us about the two types of race we can run, performance or faith, the two responses we can have to His Word, reject or receive, and the two results of our response, an inheritance that can't be shaken or judgement. I h...

Doug continues our study of Chapter 12 of Hebrews looking at our race of FAITH! This passage reveals how God uses suffering as discipline in our life and how God instructs us to view that discipline!

Doug continues digging into Hebrews this week by exploring the subject of Faith from Hebrews 11. I apologize that this week's broadcast is from a message I shared at a local church instead of the SWAT group. The content is the same as the SWAT study, but the audio is better. This passage clearly lays out the character and demonstration of saving FAITH and what that FAITH looks like lived out! I ho...

Doug continues digging into Hebrews 10 looking at verses 26-39 where the writer is warning to not be Apostates! Remember last week, we looked at the exhortation that only Jesus can give them 24/7 ACCESS to the Father, the assurance that comes from the TOTAL forgiveness of our sins, and provide a 24/7 ADVOCATE in the Holy of Holies! Because of the CROSS, we should DRAW NEAR, HOLD FAST, and STIR UP...

Exhorting them not to go back to the old system that cannot give them 24/7 ACCESS to the Father, or the assurance that comes from the TOTAL forgiveness of our sins, or provide a 24/7 ADVOCATE in the Holy of Holies! Because...

Doug steps back from our study of Hebrews to look at passages in Philippians and Ephesians and our mission to "live out a life worthy of our calling." This is the audio recording of a ZOOM conference due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope you are encouraged as you step back and reflect on how God uses His word to remind us of our great and sacred calling.

Doug looks at Hebrews 10:1-18 where the theme is "It is finished!" There is nothing we can add to what Jesus accomplished on the CROSS! The writer to the Hebrews shows us how Jesus sacrifice is what takes away our sin and brings us FORGIVEN into God's presence! It completed the requirements of the New Covenant, and it confirmed those who are HIS! Because we have been shown mercy and God's justice...

Doug finishes up Hebrews 9 this week looking at Chapter 9:23-28. The writer to the Hebrews shows us how Jesus sacrifice is better and what it gives us - a forever relationship with God as our Father, it completed the requirements of the New Covenant, and it confirmed those who are HIS! Because we have been shown mercy and God's justice has been satisfied, we now have 24/7 access to the Father beca...

Doug continues to work through Hebrews, this week looking at Chapter 9:15-22. The writer to the Hebrews shows us how our Great God allows justice to meet mercy and why it matters.

We continue to do SWAT online due to the Coronavirus, so I apologize if the broadcast is not...

This was the Easter week SWAT Bible study where Doug shared a video of a Roman Crossbuilder who was a skeptic about Jesus. It is a powerful drama that ends with a call to come to the CROSS! IT is followed by another video that asks the questions "are you amazed by Jesus?" I hope you are encouraged!!

Doug continues to work through Hebrews, this week looking at Chapter 9:1-14. The Old Covenant was never supposed to be the end all. It was merely a copy, shadow, and pattern of what was coming. It pointed to JESUS! In this chapter, the writer makes clear the old pattern of the tabernacle was just a symbol pointing towards Christ. We now have 24/7 access to the Father because of JESUS! We are conti...

Doug continues to work through Hebrews, this week finishing up Chapter 8:8-13. The Old Covenant was never supposed to be the end all. It was merely a copy, shadow, and pattern of what was coming. It pointed to JESUS! In the same way the old priesthood became obsolete, so did the old covenant. This is the first week of doing SWAT online due to the Coronavirus, so I apologize if the broadcast is not...

Doug continues to unpack the 7th chapter of Hebrews, sharing the benefits of Jesus as High Priest vs the levitical priesthood.

Doug dives into the 7th chapter of Hebrews, sharing the significance of Melchizedek...who he is and why it matters. Melchizedek is mentioned by name in Genesis 14, Psalm 110, by function in Zech 6:11-13, and in Hebrews 5,6, and 7. This is a very important teaching on why Jesus had a legitimate claim to the priesthood even though He was not from the tribe of Levi. He was appointed a priest in the o...
