PARAGRAPH STUDY

What has stood out for me the most in this particular chapter is the way in which paragraphs can be related. I had never known that parts of speech, I.e nouns, verbs, pronouns, adverbs and adjectives would be a factor while studying the Bible. The knowledge of their definitions and usage is quite important…

A true leader is one that is ready and able to serve,and this well demonstrated by Jesus Himself throughout His ministry, and especially in John 13: 1-17

Very true. The book of Acts entails the actions (miracles) of the apostles, through the help of the Holy Spirit. These miracles not only strengthened the faith of the apostles, but also added to the body of Christ, in that, when some people saw the miracles, they believed and were saved.

Thank you for sharing.

The book of Acts is the book that reveals the power of the church. So, when a church begins to dwindle, lose its power, and turn dull and drab in its witness, it must desperately […]

Thank you for sharing. God is indeed the author of the Bible.

If my memory serves me right, the four main purposes of the Bible include: teaching doctrine, reproof, correction and teaching righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

I’ve been reading the bible for many years. But I’m not aware of the structure of the Bible. This lesson helps me be aware of the structure. It grounds the four main purposes of […]

I believe having a purpose in life is one of the major keys to succeed, because it helps one to focus. When you know the reason for your existence, or for the existence of say an organisation, it is easy to avoid distraction.

Thank you.

This lesson was focused on helping the believer and or church organization form a Statement of Purpose.

A Statement of Purpose is a written statement of reason for being. A Statement […]

We have a merciful father in heaven who does not always look at our wrongs. If we truly repent He’s willing to take us back with open arms.

Thank you.

I love the story of the prodigal son. It shows us that no matter how badly we mess up, if we repent and change our ways, our father will be there waiting for us and he will be […]

Some Bible verses are highly misused because they are not read in context. For example, I have come across a large number of people who use Romans 3:23 to justify living in sin. It is necessary to understand the context the verse before applying it in life.

Thank you.

Failing to know the meaning of words before using them can lead to miscommunication. And it is also important to know the context in which particular words can be used, because some words have more than one meaning.

Thank you for the summary

In reply to - Sharine Hill posted an update

There is a foundational factor and understanding for meaning of words. Words can have many layers of what they mean which we could miss the meaning of the word. It is important […]

The steps involved while studying the word of God by chapters include:

1. Selecting a chapter title that reflects the content of the chapter
