(072) You should tell others about Jesus and when necessary, use words

(071) Some Scripture is easy to understand, others, not so much. Today we are going to study a command that is actually quite easy to understand. It’s a command that God presents in a straight forward, clear manner. There is no confusion about what we are being told to do. While it’s easy to understand, it’s extremely difficult in today’s day and age to obey.

(SN070) The choice you make has eternal implications. It’s a ‘hell’ of a gamble.

(SN069) Unlike all the other religions in the world, Christianity is the only one that worships a living God.

(SN068) After making purification for sins.  Those five words represent the crux (main point) and the creed (fundamental beliefs) of the entire Bible. Jesus came to pay the price for the sin of all mankind, past, present, future.

(SN067) Jesus has the Power to give us peace, comfort, and emotional healing. His power also provides strength, boldness, and confidence in our faith.

(SN066) Jesus is in every way exactly the same as God but in human form.

(SN065) Want to have a ‘mind blown’ experience, take a moment and look up at the sky and ask yourself, where does space end. We also look at the Big Bang theory in this lesson.

(SN064) In the Old Testament God spoke both audibly. However, from the time the Holy Spirit was given to believers we hear in our minds and hearts the words from God through Jesus and the Holy Spirit rather than audible messages.

(SN063) Proverbs 15:28, The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

   We could pretty much simply read that verse, drop the mic, and be on our way. However, there’s a bit more to it before you can actually do that consistently.

(SN062) What you pray for you get. There are some who believe, without exception, that if you ask God for anything he will give it to you. Let’s break that down.

(SN061) When studying the Bible one of the techniques is to personalize the Scripture. By personalize I mean take the Scripture and turn it into a prayer, a conversation between you and God. Personalizing moves the words from your head to your heart, it transforms words to an experience, and helps you know God at a intimate level. 

(SN060) What comes to your mind when you think of a Zealot? Probably negative connotations. But that is not the Biblical view.

(SN059) In Paul’s letter the church in Philippi, he is encouraging them (and us) to live their lives committed to serving God and others. If Paul had penned a mission statement, it may have been pulled directly from this letter.

(SN058) When studying the Bible there are several approaches you can take. As an example, let’s take an expository look at Philippians 4:12.

(SN057) It doesn't matter what you've done, what bad habits you have, or what pain is in your past, through Christ Jesus' redeeming grace and mercy you can be made good again and be used to his glory. 

(SN056) I’ve heard many times the debate that the Old Testament of the Bible (pre the physical birth of Jesus) is no longer relevant as its been replaced by the New Testament. This debate is typically around the relevance of the Jewish Law today.

(SN055) The underlying reason for the season is the celebration of Christ Jesus’ birth on a cold December day followed by three kings who bestowed gifts upon a newborn child laying in hay lined manger in a wood shed. At least that’s how the Christmas pageants portray the events.

(SN054) If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

(SN053) The healthiest country is Singapore, the USA is ranked 69th. With that said, let’s take a look at what God says about healthy eating habits. Leviticus chapter 11 provides a breakdown of what God says is healthy and not healthy to eat.
