(If you missed part one, of “The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved” may I suggest that you take a few minutes to read that previous lesson. This next lesson will continue right on with the story. Just click on the title, to be taken to the previous lesson) Why Don’t We Hear More About Lazarus ? This is the second part of our two part lesson…
The Beloved Disciple I’m going to begin a two part lesson today, and I think it’s going to be an interesting one. We’ll have part one today, and part two next week, Lord willing. There’s several things about the bible that spark our curiosity. And the things that seems to spark our curiosity the most, are the things that are not completely revealed. And I’m sure the…
The Book of Jude, A Letter From God Verse 1; “Jude, servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James; To those loved by God, even called and guarded in Jesus Christ.” That might be just slightly different from the wording in your bible, but that is the most literal translation of the verse. “..To those loved by God, even called and guarded in Jesus Christ.” Instead…

Putting Away Sin, And Longing for the Word Verses 1 & 2; “Putting away therefore, all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk, which is without guile, that you may grow thereby unto salvation..” Those verses remind me of James 1, verse 21. Listen to the similarity. James says; “Wherefore, putting away all filthiness,…
A Study of The Book of Acts; The Acts of the Apostles Welcome to our study of the book of Acts. The proper title should probably be, “The Acts of the Apostles”, because that’s really what the book tells of. It tells of the various things which the apostles of Jesus Christ did, from the time that Jesus ascended back to heaven, until the end of the apostle Paul’s…
