"And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets. And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and …

When You Are Weary
"If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? And if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have …
Study of Ephesians 1:6-14

Caleb’s Courage, Boldness and Faith

A Study in Galations 1:10-12
The Gospel; Not After Man - Galations 1:10-12 The gospel of Jesus Christ is like no other message. The word "Gospel" itself maintains that it is a message of good news. It also tells us with great assurance, and the power of God that it is the only means by which we can be saved; …
A Study in Galations 1:6-9
So Soon Removed from Him - Galations 1:6-9 Paul the apostle took great care to address the matter of grace. Grace is all of God and none of man; no work of man. So Paul addresses the issue as desertion - in a military sense - and in that day a deserter was worthy of …
A Study in Galations 1
An Apostle - Galations 1:1-5 Paul was a man who had once hated, and persecuted the church of God (Acts 9:1-2). He was zealous for the cause of Judaism, and it didn't matter until he met Jesus on the road to Damascus and was gloriously saved by grace. The writing of this letter [Galations] was …
Romans 11:1-6 Set Aside, But Not Forgotten
Set Aside; But Not Forgotten Romans 11:1-6 Paul has now pointed out clearly Israel’s rejection of Jesus as Messiah. Israel is a very religious people, but lost as a nation. Is this not enough evidence to prove to us that the rejection of Jesus is also rejecting God and His righteousness. It should be enough. …
Romans 9:25-33 No People Left Out
No People Left Out Romans 9:25-33 There may have been accusations against Paul’s teaching, claiming that He was preaching an unjust and unrighteous God. That is not what Paul preached, nor is it the teaching of Scripture. Because God is holy, righteous, and just He has every right to be “Merciful to whom He will …
Romans 9:6-13 The Word of Promise
The Word Of Promise Romans 9:6-13 Remembering that we are looking at a parenthetical statement, which gives a clearer understanding of what Paul is writing about in chapter 8 and assuring the Roman Christians that the promises of God are good, and that He will not break or void any of them; we come to …
Romans 8:31-39 Since God Is For Us
Since God Is For Us Romans 8:31-39 When you get to thinking about the goodness, grace and mercy of God, and you see things taught us in Scripture as, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (5:8); and, “For if when we were …
Romans 8:18-25 Earnest Expectation for Redemption
Earnest Expectation For Redemption Romans 8:18-25 In our last study of Romans 8:10-17 we looked at “A Joyful Expectation In The Father”. That Joyful Expectation is due to His promise that we are “Joint heirs” with Jesus Himself. “Joint heir” means; everything that is His is ours. I am glad to be a joint heir …

Romans 8:1-9 No Condemnation
NO CONDEMNATION Romans 8:1-9 In this study of Romans we have had Paul take us from the total depravity of sinners, to justification, and then, to sanctification. He took a moment to let us know that the work of sanctification was not easy (chapter 7), and now he tells us how we can be victors …
