We have been studying the false teachers who bring in damnable heresies [2 Pet 2:1]. Today, we are going to study 2 Pet 2:18-22, in which we learn what affect these false teachers have on people who have already “escaped from them who live in error,” [2 Pet 2:18]. You’re...
We have been studying the whole armor of God on Wednesday nights. To date, we have discussed the helmet of salvation, which protects us from carnality, fear and pride. The breastplate of righteousness protects us from unrighteousness and sin. The girdle of truth protects us against the lies of the...
Ps 19:1-14 is a wonderful Psalm magnifying the work of God’s words. The first six verses tell of the work of the words [Ps 19:4] of the creation of the Lord, in which the invisible things of him are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made [Rom...
According to Acts 20:35, Paul told the elders of Ephesus that Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Paul had personally experienced the truth of this verse. Paul was a minister of the gospel. As such, “the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should...

We have prepared a chart of the dates of birth, the ages, and the dates of death of the patriarchs in the book of Genesis. The reason that this chart is helpful is that it demonstrates that Adam was created in 4004 BC. By beginning with these dates, we can...
At first glance, it appears that Ex 12:40 contradicts Acts 7:6. This is not a Bible contradiction. By figuring backwards from the Exodus you can see this is not a Bible contradiction, at all. The easiest way to do this reconciliation is to figure all of the dates that you...
At first glance, it appears that 1 Ki 6:1 contradicts Acts 13:18-22. In fact, these passages don’t contradict. You have to account for an overlap in years during the time of the judges. In 1 Ki 6:1, the time between the Exodus and the fourth year of Solomon’s reign is...
