by

Read Your Bible in Chronological Order, a collection of ResourcesReading through your Bible in Chronological Order is one of the most important things you can do to grow in your Christian life.

Teaching about the Trinity, updated and a book of inspirational quotes added

by

Image of the Trinity
If you’d had trouble understanding the Trinity, this lesson should help.

As I teach and interact with people in my Bible classes I’ve found many are confused about the Trinity and so I decided to revise and update my lessons on the Trinity that many have found helpful. These are not hard-to-understand, theological puzzles!

I don’t think God intentionally tries to confuse us, particularly about who He is, but many people simply don’t take the time to look in the Bible and explore what it clearly teaches. This series of lessons does that. [Read more…]

Understanding the Trinity, part Three, The Trinity Throughout the Bible

by

The Trinity Throughout the Bible The Trinity is not a concept that is hard to understand, but the reality that describes our God who wants us to know Him. In this series of three lessons, you’ll learn all about it in a way that for many, makes sense.

In this lesson, we talk about how the Trinity is revealed throughout the ENTIRE Bible–if you haven’t looked carefully at this before (and most people haven’t) you’ll be in for some exciting discoveries. [Read more…]

Understanding the Trinity, part Two, the Substance of the Trinity

by

Lesson on the Substance of the TrinityThe Trinity is not a concept that is hard to understand, but the reality that describes our God who wants us to know Him. In this series of three lessons you’ll learn all about it in a way that for many, makes sense.

In this lesson, we talk about the substance, or the characteristics that the three persons of the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit all share. These are characteristics such as holiness, truth, love, all-power, and then we’ll talk about what these mean to us. [Read more…]

by

This is Part One of our study of the Trinity. In it I’ll clear up some basic misconceptions about the Trinity and hope to help you see that the Trinity isn’t something esoteric and difficult to understand, but that it is a clear description of the God we love and serve. [Read more…]

What manner of people ought we to be? the pastoral epistles—1,2 Timothy, Titus, 1,2 Peter, Jude

by

What manner of people ought we to be? the Pastoral Epistles— 1,2 Timothy, Titus, 1,2 Peter, JudeOur study of the New Testament is about so much more than an overview of books, or a historical tour. It is the culmination of God’s rescue plan for the people He created.

The development God’s changed, redeemed people is what we’ve been learning about.

All else will fade (churches, buildings, denominations); God’s people will not. And it is those people (you) who will reach the world with God’s message of salvation.
How we become that, the spiritual formation of God’s people is what these “Pastoral Epistles” are about. [Read more…]

The book of Romans, saved by grace alone; challenged to walk worthy 

by

Romans is one of the most significant books in the Bible because it is a complete and systematic explanation of the Christian faith.

It is different than the other letters of the New Testament that were written to address specific problems in specific churches.

The focus in this book was to clarify the Christian faith and our salvation—to show from start to finish that it is by grace alone through faith alone, not adherence to Jewish laws, or human effort, that salvation is possible.

At the same time, it also clarifies God’s continuing expectations for those who have accepted His gift of salvation and challenges them to walk worthy. [Read more…]
