The focal verse for this series is 2 Corinthians 2:2 where the Apostle Paul tells the saints in the church at Colosse: “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.”  This was (and still is) “THE TESTIMONY OF GOD” (vs 1).  Simply put, God’s singular testimony (declaration of […]

In His first epistle to the Church of God at Corinth the Apostle Paul was writing to God’s “saints” (holy ones) who were “sanctified (set aside) in Christ Jesus” (1:2).  God’s people are holy people, meaning that they believe and obey Him.  Christ Jesus is the Holy One after Whom His saints pattern their lives/”walk”–what […]

At this point he Jews were on the run from the Babylonians.  The people and their leaders have arrived at a place near Bethlehem where they are preparing to enter Egypt where they believe they will be safe from the Babylonians who would be after them for having killed Gedeliah whom Nebuchadnezzer had placed over […]

This series will serve as an extension to the previous series. By his own admission, Jeremiah had been called to become who he became and to do what he did even before his conception.  In 1:4,5 he writes: “Then the Word of the Lord came to me, saying: ‘Before I formed you in the belly […]

In Jeremiah 36:4 we find the prophet, following the Lord’s command, telling his scribe, Baruch, to record “all the words of the Lord which He has spoken to him” (Jeremiah).  He was to write them on a scroll.  We are not told at this point what Baruch was to write, but we know that the […]

It has been burned, buried, ripped apart, cursed, twisted, interpreted and vilified like no other book, but in spite of Satan’s efforts, God’s Holy Scriptures live on.  Satan has done everything he is capable of doing to destroy it, even nailing it to a cross in the form of the Word Himself (Jn. 1:1-4,14).  The […]

God seekers must understand the lesson presented in Revelation 7:13,14: “And one of the elders said to me, ‘Who are these who are arrayed in white robes? and from where do they come?’  I said to him, ‘Sir, you know.’  And he said to me, ‘These are they who have come out of the Great […]

The “great multitude” of Revelation 7:9 will be wearing white robes and holding palm branches.  Their being dressed in white robes indicates that their sins will have been forgiven, meaning that they will have heard the Gospel of God and will have repented of their Bible-defined sins.  Church-defined sins are totally different from Bible-defined sins […]

In Revelation 7:9 we are told about a “great multitude” that will be so large that a person will not be able to number them.  Four questions relative to this gathering will be answered in this series: 1) who are these people?  2) why are they gathered together in one location?  3) where is that […]

SIN IS IDOLATRY.  The original sin took place when Lucifer (“light bringer”) looked upon the incredible universe God had created and wanted to possess it.  To do so he would have to replace its Creator.  God had created the earth and had turned it over to Lucifer to care for it.  But Lucifer was not […]
