Of course, his most famous work is the Gospel of John. Next in popularity is his lengthy and intriguing book of prophecy, Revelation. Sandwiched between the two are three lesser-known letters revealing the heart and soul of this tender man of God. In this study, we will look at the first of the three books…a five-chapter letter appearing simple and uncomplicated yet, in reality, is both profound and complex.

Jul 23, 2012 - Jul 25, 2012 2 Peter In 1 Peter, Peter was concerned for the Christians who were scattered throughout the Roman Empire and undergoing suffering and persecution from enemies outside the church body.

Jul 18, 2012 - Jul 20, 2012 1 Peter A quick glance at the first few verses of 1 Peter is enough to give us an understanding of Peter's message to his readers: hope for the hurting. According to verse 1, the hurting were those residing as aliens, scattered throughout vast regions of the Roman Empire. These Christians were objects of social ostracism, slander, mistreatment, and threats. They needed encouragement. Sitting on a powder keg of potential persecution, these believers were day after day “distressed by various trials” (1:6) and “tested by fire” (1:7).

Jul 13, 2012 - Jul 17, 2012 James Although Martin Luther saw the letter of James as merely an “epistle of straw”—something lightweight and easy to dismiss—it stands to this day as one of the most practical and penetrating books in the Bible. Don't be fooled by its size. It may be small, but it's strong. It refuses to let the reader hide behind the walls of theological theory or intellectual faith. True faith produces authenticity. “No authenticity…no faith”—that's James's conclusion on the matter. God's Masterwork, Volume Seven: The Final Word—A Survey of Hebrews-Revelation read more

Jul 11, 2012 - Jul 12, 2012 Hebrews Hebrews, although among the largest and most significant letters in the New Testament, remains one of the least appreciated. Profound, mysterious, deep, and sometimes difficult to understand, this book deserves our time and attention. Rich in Jewish history and filled with quotations from and allusions to the Old Testament, the study of Hebrews requires concentration plus a fairly firm grasp of how God revealed Himself to His people in ancient times.
