Methodology of Multiplication

Chapter-11

When we consider stunted growth that can occur in a church, we need to look at

ways this can be fixed. One of the most important things to examine is, is the Church

teaching the word of God, and not teaching the doctrine of man. We simply cannot

teach what people want to hear, but we have to listen to…

Chapter six covered the principles of interpretation. With so many versions of the Bible that we have access to, its important to understand interpretation and why we believe the Bible is God’s Word. 2 Timothy 2:15 tells us to rightly divide the word. This means to cut straight and give that which belongs to him. Understanding that all…

Foundations of Faith

Chapter-1

When we as believers come to faith in Christ, accepting him as our Lord and

savior, we begin to build our foundation of Faith. The key elements for building

our foundation are, the Bible( the Truth of God’s word) and righteousness that

comes from the Lord. We as believers do not depend on our own righteousness, but…

This session puts forward an analogy of a quilt to illustrate that the Hebrew Bible consists of multiple older pieces (i.e., works written hundreds of years earlier) organized and brought together by later scholars. The instructor used Ruth to illustrate ‘hyperlinks’ (connections) connecting this book to the end of Judges and to Samuel, which…

I just read day one and I am so happy that God’s mercy and grace is a gift. Jesus already paid it all. I have to do nothing but receive it. We serve a great and mighty God. All we have to do is show up and God will handle the rest amen.

Dr Hocking says the definition of glorification is the redemption of your body. You are redeemed from the penalty of sin through justification. You are redeemed from the power of sin through sanctification. And you’re redeemed from the presence of sin through glorification.

One of the slightly surprising things in the BibleProject series on Exodus is session 27 in particular because it dwells on details that many commonly skip over—sidebars and additional layers of meaning behind the design of the tabernacle. Although small, that container bore many layers of meaning, each segment saying something about the…

Within session 26, thoughts revolved around the holy covering of the tabernacle and the visible heaviness of the LORD hovering nearby. It wasn’t just a token of endorsement, but rather the filling of the temple with the presence of God signified that He really intended to dwell with them. What seemed to stick out the most was the way holiness…

Session 25: A close examination of priestly garb—and how priests are ritually set apart—reveals just how stratified ancient worship was. The ephod and the breastpiece, with its stones that represented each tribe, conveyed the idea of unity in the duties that were sacred. It struck me that these things meant – not power, but obligation, not…

Building relationships is not easy outside a prison and it isn’t easy inside the prison. Some inmates
may not be interested in spiritual matters. Some may completely reject you. Others may try to use
you to further their own ends. It may help to recall Jesus’ parable of the sower of seed and the four
kinds of soil upon which the seed… Read more

John using Term “BELIEVE” than any other book. Actually the purpose of John is that you really believe who He is, for that is critical to the entire argument.
This what I learned that, He is the revelation of the invisible God. He declares, shows, and reveals who God is, because God is invisible. He became visible…

The Power of Love

This principle establishes that Christian love must regulate all spiritual power. Power without love becomes corrupted and turns into an abuse of authority. Love is the correct motivation that ensures supernatural gifts and manifestations serve to edify and help others.

The Power of the Gospel

This chapter teaches that the Gospel is the “good news” of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. Its power lies in divine righteousness and Christ’s blood. This legal sacrifice purifies the conscience, overcomes sin, and grants direct access to God’s presence.

This chapter we define “witness”, “laity” and “clergy” and further growing into the process of multiplication. To see the real call of the “laity” we see it in the Old Testament as Israel was to be a kingdom of priests (Ex. 19:16). The term laity is used for people that were not into full time functions in the church. So in real terms any…

We demolish arguments in every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. For me I haven’t always been obedient nor am I completely fluent in the bible to be able to hold captive every though that Contradicts the knowledge of God. However, as I read and study…

Lesson 2 focused on the difference between intersession and an intercessor prayer where both focus on prayer for others the intercessor takes on other prayers on behalf of themselves.

Dr Hocking starts the lesson by explaining that from Romans 5:20, no sin can put you as believer outside the realm of God’s wonderful grace. No failure, no bombing out, no bad habits, nothing that is the opposite of what God wants in your life (sanctification) is beyond the ability of God’s grace to solve. The devil loves to defeat you by your…

Session 24: Small aspects of the tabernacle reveal profound ideas about holiness and nearness to God. Not only are the ark, table, and lampstand significant, but their form and meaning are determined by precise shape and arrangement.

Session 23: Israel’s story of covenant renewal at Sinai came full circle. One thing to note is that their answer to that defining situation clarifies who they are – set apart, called royal priests under divine care. Not difficult to understand, and yet very personal, the pact combined God’s unmerited grace with obligatory human…

In Session 22, the how and the Day of Atonement were set in Israel’s sacred breath. Although not mentioned all that often, its weight was immediately apparent when I looked at it through themes of guilt, purification, but also hope. More than just ritual, it was divine equilibrium: holiness was maintained, and forgiveness could be extended.…

Its important that we…

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 06:37:27 -0400

This lesson is about Gods will and suffering. Just because we are striving to do Gods will does not make us immune from suffering. Often quite the opposite as it gives Satan more reason to attack us. The important thing to rememeber is God can use our suffering to refine or hearts and minds and also to put us in a position where we can better…

It also showed examples of biblical characters who did not recover from their…

What stood out to me most about Session 19 was the idea that Genesis 1 presents not a finished world, but an ideal vision of where creation is headed. Rather than describing perfection already achieved, the creation story reveals God’s purpose for humanity: to live as his image-bearers, cultivating the land, forming families, and extending…

What stood out to me most about Session 18 was how the Bible portrays the dry land as a symbol of God’s salvation and order in the midst of chaos. In Genesis 1, God causes the dry land to emerge from the waters, creating a place where life can flourish. This theme appears again in the Exodus, where God parts the sea and leads Israel across on…
