These Things Write We Unto You

JOhn wrote concerning the things which he and the other Apostles had heard, seen, looked upon, and handled concerning the Jesus Christ, the Word of Life. His purpose was that their joy might be full (that is, replete and overflowing). In this study we observe several things which John says he wrote which are essential to overflowing joy. 

42_The Fifteen Periods of Bible History (The Conquest of Canaan Part 7)

The Bible can be divided into 15 periods of Bible History. Recognizing these divisions is helpful for organizing the Bible chronologically in the mind and relating the various books to one another. The sixth of these 15 Periods is called the Period of the Conquest of Canaan. This period extends from the crossing of the Jordan River to the death of Joshua (Joshua 1:1-24:33). [This lesson covers Joshua's Valedictory.]  

15_The Parable of the Outhouse (Matthew 15:10-20)

Here is yet another "Kingdom Parable," however, it is not in the oft used form, but it is nevertheless "an earthly story with a heavenly application." Here Jesus exposes the hypocrisy of the scribes and priests, the Pharisees and Sadducees  with a very common observation about the outhouse.

01_Our Fellowship

John begins his letter affirming  that fellowship with God requires fellowship with the Apostles in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In the  verse before us, he affirms the testimony of the Twelve concerning the Word of Life.

14_The Parable of the Unclean Spirit (Matthew 12:43-45)

One of the more unusual parables which Jesus spoke was that of the unclean spirit and his seven friends. As with many of Jesus' parables a thorough consideration of the context is necessary to know to whom and about what Jesus is speaking. Consider this parable.

Salvation in Three Tenses

Has anyone ever asked you, "Are you saved?" The short answer is a confident "Yes!" However, there is more to it than that. The book of Romans reveals the fact that salvation may be understood in three tenses, that is, past, present. and future. Let's study.

19_The Church of Christ Is Different Regarding the Work that It Does

It is often said the Church of Christ is "different" by which is meant that it is odd or out of step with what is generally accepted by the majority. However, Jesus said that His church would be different, and that His people are to be unique. The term "different" should not be used as a pejoritve to prejudice minds. Yes, the church of Christ is different, but why is the Church of Christ different? Jeff Asher leads a series of studies to explore just that question.

18_The Church of Christ Different Respecting the Tithe

It is often said the Church of Christ is "different" by which is meant that it is odd or out of step with what is generally accepted by the majority. However, Jesus said that His church would be different, and that His people are to be unique. The term "different" should not be used as a pejoritve to prejudice minds. Yes, the church of Christ is different, but why is the Church of Christ different? Jeff Asher leads a series of studies to explore just that question.
