Love Over Gifts
What if the loudest voice in the room is just noise without love? We open 1 Corinthians 13 and confront a hard truth: tongues, prophecy, knowledge, and even heroic sacrifice collapse into emptiness when the heart seeks applause instead of God. ...

Understanding The Falling Away And The Signs Of The Times
What if the greatest spiritual danger isn’t outside the church but seated within it? We open the Scriptures to make a hard case: the “falling away” Paul warns about in 2 Thessalonians 2 is not a rumor, and the man of sin doesn’t need a rebuilt ...

LIVE DISCUSSION: One God, Three Persons
Ever wondered how Christians can confess one God while worshiping the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? We take a slow, careful walk through Scripture to show why the Bible leads us to a triune confession without turning God into parts or f...

Understanding John 1: The Word, Creation, And New Birth
What if the voice that said “Let there be light” is the same person who multiplied loaves, calmed seas, and called Lazarus from the tomb? We open John 1 and follow the thread from eternity to creation to the cradle and the cross, showing why “t...

LIVE DISCUSSION: Exposition of Job 1:6 (Part 3 of 4)
What if Jesus’ words in John 8:44 are not a riddle but a revelation of origin—“from the beginning”—that reorders how we see evil, truth, and the purpose of suffering? We take a slow walk through the text and trace how “abode not in the truth” i...

LIVE DISCUSSION: Exposition of Job 1:6 (Part 2 of 4)
What if the most unsettling line in Job is also the most comforting—that even Satan acknowledges the hedge God sets around His people? We open the text and follow the thread: God preserves, God orders, and God limits. The result is not a cold s...

A story that begins in heaven will change how you face pain on earth. We open Job 1:6–12 and step into the heavenly courtroom where the “sons of God” present themselves and Satan appears among them. Before Job loses anything, the scene establis...

Start where the party ends and the prayers begin. We open Job 1:5 and find a father rising at dawn to intercede for each child by name, not to police their behavior but to tend the deeper place—the heart. That single verse becomes a doorway int...

LIVE DISCUSSION: Exposition of JOB 1:1-5 (Part 3 of 4)
Pain can feel pointless until you learn to read it. We open the book of Job and find a surprising claim: affliction isn’t payback, it’s a forge. From the first lines, Job’s power and wealth never owned him; his strength came from a heart set on...

A quiet dawn, a faithful father, and a question that won’t let go: what kind of life stands when the storm hits? We open Job with 1:1–5 and trace a portrait that’s both ordinary and profound—a man outside Israel, in the land of Uz, described as...

LIVE DISCUSSION: The Passion of Christ (Part 1 of 3)
Power rarely admits it feels threatened; it changes the charge. We walk through Luke 23 and show how a claim of divinity became a case of treason, and why the title “Son of God” meant far more than a poetic honor. The religious council could no...
