The lesson covers all three books of John. I was reminded of how it is questioned whether it is the same John that Jesus loved (the apostle). Regardless, all three of the books are a quick reminder of how God is Light and God is Love. It is a reminder to stay strong in the face of those who know you are a beleiver, but deny God to you openly…

The lesson takes on one of the more contraversial topics of Christianity. The virgin birth of Christ. Not contraversial to whether it’s true or not. But those who do not accept the fact who try and disqualify the possibility in the natural (scientific reasoning). The instructor also admits to not seeing the science behind it, but it must be…

The course has now come to the point where the focus has gone to the Holy Spirit and its place in the Biblical account. The Spirit is introduced in Genesis 1:2. Pharaoh was so amazed by Joseph’s interpretations of his dreams that even he knew that it had to be the Spirit of the Lord who was guiding him. Joseph was put into the Highest…

Though Peter covers a few topics regarding the dangers of false teachings and corrupt leaders, his final two verses are the most important warning. We are mature enough to recognize these things already. But be careful not to be caught up in the “errors” of these wicked people. So we don’t lose our “secure footing”. This speaks of…

Even though Peter states these in his 2nd letter, he is reminding leaders of churches in Asia Minor about the dangers of corruption within the leadership and their distorted theology. As with all of the NT Epistles, this applies very much to our modern day situations. Though the types of sin are different, and it could be applied to politics…

This will be a lesson that will stick with me for quite some time. There were 7 examples of Jesus’s attributes and 6 different abilities discussed. It was his ability to control all things that has created some extra thinking on my part. It referrenced Colossians 1:17 and Hebrews 1:2-3. Does God have a hand in all things, Good and Bad? I was…

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 02:09:11 -0400

The most important part of the lesson is in applying Good to a situation. In Luke 6:45, Jesus tells us that our commitments as the things we store up in our hearts. Our desire when applying good should only be to Glorify God. There maybe other benefits, and if we’re wondering if we’re doing the right thing, Gloryfing God makes sure that we…

This lesson was more of a review of the first seven. It was a reset to make sure we understood what God’s original intention was of Genesis 1-2:4. It is important to understand that when God revealed the account of creation to Moses in the desert, it was intended for those who were taking part of the Exodus. It was intended for them to learn…

The fear of the Lord that is covered in the last section of the lesson has often confused me. I’ve had it explained to me that it is the fear of hurting the Lord by our actions.

But the redemptive nature of God began immediately whenhe extended mercy to Adam and Eve. Though it won’t be complete until Jesus returns in his glory, he created a way to…
