Small Bible Study

Some people find the Old Testament to be confusing, out of date, and essentially replaced by the New Testament. They are missing out. The Old Testament offers us a grand narrative that reveals God's work, God's purposes, and God's wisdom. Christopher J. H. Wright fits the pieces together and shows us the coherent whole. Using seven key sentences drawn straight from the Old Testament, he connects the dots and points us toward Jesus.

Don’t you just want to be happy? Why does it seem so hard sometimes? Perhaps we struggle to consistently live with joy because we do not consistently live with purpose. God made you for a specific reason, and until you embrace his mission for your life, the roller coaster ride of emotions will just keep going. Happiness, purpose, and freedom are available, but it all depends on intertwining your good with God’s glory. God’s plan for our joy is not tied to life events but to the life of Christ. Intertwined is meant to dust off the cobwebs of the most profound phrase ever given to ...

Are you waging a private war—against yourself? You're not alone. The goal in war is to win—but what if in this war, the only way to win is to surrender? It's strange, isn't it?

So many believers want their lives to count, but they are impatient with the slow pace at which goodness grows. Many of us struggle to embrace the faithfulness required to show up day after day after day.

"You will remember that Volume 1 covered the first eight chapters of Romans, and you will notice that this volume covers the last eight chapters. The dividing point between chapters eight and nine is very convenient from the publishing point of view (i.e., two fairly even volumes), but it is also logically and theologically appropriate. In a real sense, the first eight chapters of Romans could form a stand-alone theological unit. It is a wonderful essay on the essential doctrine of grace.The last eight chapters, however, could not very well stand alone. In several ways they grow out of the ...

Jonah, probably the most well-known bible story in the world, but is it more than just a bloke being swallowed by a fish, how is it relevant to us today; we can ask a lot of questions about the text in Jonah but what questions does the text ask of us? Join us on the ups and downs of the reluctant prophet who changes a city.

I find Elijah an amazing character to study, I love the fact that he can be so bold and then the next moment be running in fear for his life, one moment confronting the prophets of Baal and believing for God to begin or end a drought and the next be suicidally depressed; this duality actually encourages me. So why “bible study for the rest of us?” I am not like most church leaders, I lack a degree, I am not from a Christian family and I’m not that much of a reader. But I do love the Lord and I love His word. I get a great deal of joy when I can explain something to someone in a way ...

Words have power. They can build up or tear down, inspire or discourage, clarify or confuse.
