Rom.12:1] I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and... Continue Reading →
Satan has designed an effective plan (Eph. 2:1-2) to detour, silence, or shut us down, making saints unaware or too busy to help and support one another. Our journey can be shrouded by day-to-day responsibilities and difficulties. This can affect our awareness of needs in our local assembly or circle of influence. Ask yourself: ‘Are...

Why do we sometimes feel as if we are held captive and do things we don’t want to do? The reason is we still have the flesh, which has lust and sin. This will not change until we get our glorious new bodies. Satan is temporarily the god of this world (II Cor 4:4), but... Continue Reading →
Do I really need to pray for more help, more strength, and more insight from God? As you ponder this, ask yourself if you really need more from God. II Corinthians 12:9 says, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I... Continue Reading →
We shall heretofore attempt to exegete all those headache-inducing passages about “this generation” in the Gospels! As a bonus, we shall also exegete that time the Lord said, “There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” [Note - this first section...

Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Rom 8:3 For what the law... Continue Reading →
““And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;” I Thesssalonians 4:11 In this society and time, saints seem to have the tendency to stay in a state of busyness. This is a focus on the issues of this life,... Continue Reading →
Our spiritual walk as a believer is affected by our free will choices in circumstances and where we are in our understanding of Romans 6-8’s Sanctification Process. This section is foundational instruction for saints on how to consistently walk after the grace doctrines laid forth in Paul’s epistles to attain holiness. Romans 6-8 is a different...

[This is a snippet from Sunday’s sermon and our series on Ephesians. - Joel] “Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers” (Eph. 1:15-16). The saints loved because they had... Continue Reading →
Php 2:25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants. Php 2:26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick. Php 2:27 ... Continue Reading →
God perfectly provides the Body of Christ with a strategic edification-education process whereby saints are progressively established and matured; it is contained within Roman’s-Philemon. This process is different than many Bible processes, which are found in small sections of verses. The Edification Process spans all of Paul’s epistles, providing a structured coursework to grow spiritually,... Continue Reading →

Pro 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. Pro 31:11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. Pro 31:12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. Pro 31:13 She... Continue Reading →
I love this story too much. First, consider Joh 10:22, “And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.” We’re in the middle of December four months away from the Lord’s crucifixion. The Feast of Dedication is an 8-night celebration. This year, the feast will be from Dec. 14-22. The... Continue Reading →
Luk 18:31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. Luk 18:32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted... Continue Reading →
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.” Eph. 1:13 opens with "In whom ye also trusted." In whom, in Christ, ye, you Ephesians, also trusted in Christ, which... Continue Reading →
How were Old Testament saints saved? I, and the pastors at Fellowship Bible Church would encourage saints to consider that salvation was always by faith. “For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness” (Rom. 4:3). So, then, what do you make of this story of the lawyer... Continue Reading →
1st John4:8] He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. [9] In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. [10] Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us,... Continue Reading →
"That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ." (Eph 1:12 ) Who is Paul talking about when he wrote, “who first trusted in Christ”? Some commentaries would argue that Paul must’ve been talking about the Jews in the OT. Or maybe the members of the Little Flock were... Continue Reading →
“But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” (James 1:14-15) This process has value through dispensations, yet James 1:1 writes “to the twelve tribes” of Israel. (Prove all things... Continue Reading →
