When we engage in expository preaching, working through a book of the Bible, we sometimes stumble upon wisdom that we might not otherwise uncover. Genesis 5 tells us of a mysterious man named Enoch who walked with God....

These passages of Scripture lay the foundation for the entire Biblical story describing the relationship of God and mankind. Here we learn of the Fall, the sin of Adam, Eve, and Satan, and the consequences of such sin. These passages include Scripture often quoted in the New Testament....

Genesis chapters two and three are filled with such important foundational teachings for the entire Bible, including Jesus' teachings. This lesson covers chapter two and the first section of chapter three and addresses the following topics...

Genesis 1 covers the creation of the world. The chapter raises many significant questions: * What does the creation account reveal about who God is?  * How should we understand the creation of the world? What is reasonable?    * Why do so many smart people reject God as the Creator of the universe? * How did Paul argue God as Creator of the universe to help intelligent people....

This lesson will focus on one of the most pivotal days in the history of the world.  From this Old Testament example, we will address four of the eight reasons discussed in our last lesson as to why Christians should read the Old Testament....

Hebrews 6 tells us that there are six elementary doctrines (teachings) of the Christian faith, which the Hebrew writer appears to assume Christians should master before moving on to maturity. Two of these are the resurrection and judgment. We recently taught on the resurrection. What about judgment? What does Jesus teach about it? Why is this teaching important? Why do we rarely speak about judgme...

There are many reasons Christians give for avoiding the Old Testament, which makes up three-quarters of the Bible. This lesson inspires us to dig into the treasures of the Old Testament, making the case that God has provided the Old Testament Scriptures for the benefit of Christians....

Paul spends an entire chapter on the resurrection of the dead. In the previous lesson, we provided an overview of chapter fifteen with its key themes. In this lesson, we dig deeper into the chapter to explore further why a correct understanding of the resurrection is so central to the Christian faith and obedience to Jesus' teachings, how an incorrect understanding can lead to worldliness in the c...

After addressing many issues in the church in Corinth, Paul turns to one last problem, that some Christians in the church did not believe in the resurrection of the dead. Paul spends an entire chapter explaining the centrality of the resurrection to the Christian faith, including what raised from the dead means and why it matters so much. While the resurrection of the dead is one of the elementary...

In this passage, Paul instructs the church in Corinth that their women should keep silent in the church, that they are to be submissive, and they are to learn from their husbands. He goes on further to state that it is shameful for women to speak in church. Does Paul really mean this? Was this instruction only for the church in Corinth at that time? What does Paul mean by "being silent"?...

Music plays a predominate role in the American culture, and in most cultures around the world. What can we learn from the Scriptures about music and the role God intended it to play in our lives? This lesson looks at both good and bad examples from Scripture and asks us to examine our own engagement with music in light of both. 

1 Corinthians 14:1-33 includes two somewhat controversial issues: speaking in tongues and what it was like when Christians came together for worship. The lesson addresses three questions in regards to the gift of tongues: 1) What is speaking in tongues? 2) What was the purpose of speaking in tongues? and 3) Is speaking in tongues available to the Church today? We are also asked what we can learn f...

This lesson tackles a foundational and often misunderstood teaching of the Kingdom of God revealed in many of Jesus' parables, including the parable of the wheat and the tares (weeds). God will ultimately separate the good and the evil at the last day.  This lesson addresses our responsibility as individual Christians to strive to be wheat, good fish, wise virgins, and properly attired guests at t...

This year's theme was disciple...

In chapter twelve, Paul turns his attention to the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit. What does the Bible teach about the miraculous gifts, including gifts of healing, speaking in tongues, and the working of miracles? Are these spiritual gifts available today? Many Christians understand the miraculous gifts to have died within a generation of the Apostles. But is this what the Bible teaches? Thi...
