Minimizing and or avoiding confession of your personal sin is very impactful in your relationship with God. God wants a genuine relationship with each and every one of us. Avoiding or minimizing confession of your sin creates a barrier between you and your relationship with God. When you surrender, confess your sin and stop avoiding it, you…

First you have to understand the time and the assumptions about Jesus during that time. Back then, Many believed that Jesus was just another run of the mill, middle of the line prophet or teacher. They didn’t believe that Jesus was the Son of God who was in all the Old Testament prophecies. Let’s look at the verse in question, John 1:1-3

In…

To start off, true repentance isn’t a worldly sorrow, it isn’t crying and say “aw man, whoops, I made a mistake.” True repentance involves godly sorrow. Godly sorrow was explained in a previous lesson as “feeling/sensing the grief of God about sin.” It’s not focused on how we feel, it’s focused on how God feels. It is also a deep conviction of…

First of all, everyone’s walk and faith is going to look different from another person’s walk in faith. We all have different starting places, we have different starting morals, starting traumas, life before Christ. Therefore, not one walk in faith is going to look equal to another. However, our faith shouldn’t look the same all our life.…

Starting off, we have to understand the gospel and the Bible in it’s truth. There are a lot of mistaught gospels interpretations nowadays, but we have to know the truth of the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Secondly, we not only have to understand what the gospel is and what it talks about, we have to receive Jesus Christ to be our Lord and…

1 Corinthians 5:19 says- “that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.”

This verse shows us that God has already reconciled us to him. This type of reconciliation is a one way type of reconciliation, nothing we do would ever take away…

How does regeneration transform our realities? The first thing that we have to understand is that regeneration is and never will be something that any of us can take part of, it is the work of God. Therefore, that should take away any pride that we have on this subject, it should humble you before the Lord. This being a supernatural…

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 00:25:08 -0500

The overall theme and climax of the gospel is Jesus’ death. He has already died for each and every one of us, taking all the wrath of sin and death for those that come to Him, because He paid the ultimate cost. However, this does not mean that we don’t have a task while we are here on earth. However, our tasks should not be completed because of…

In the last lesson, it had a question in the quiz that said that one of the ploys of the devil is to twist the truth of the scripture or to distract us from the truth. When you minimize the doctrinal depth and truth of the scripture and start basing it off of just pure and utter emotions, the devil has won. Your emotions day to day are going to…

Romans 3:23 says “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.”

There it is, plain in front of us. It is in the Bible, in God’s word, therefore, it is the truth. We have to realize that all of us are sinners, none of us measure up to God, all of us fell short. What does that mean for us? it means that we are in need of God’s grace.…

There are many different types of spiritual gifts. There are also many different ways that spiritual gifts are used. All spiritual gifts are gifts to each and every one of us to bring and represent glory to/of God. Many people believe that certain spiritual gifts reign over others or certain people have a hierarchy in using their spiritual…

This was one of my answers to a quiz question and I wanted to share it here. I think it is a very good reminder of how we grow into who God intends for us to be.

I find in our culture today we naturally as humans have a desire to have responsibility, be picture perfect and to conform to the culture, what everyone else is doing. However, God…

I found many areas in this lesson interesting but the main area that stuck out to me was about how God does hold us responsible. Now this subject can have many misinterpretations surrounding it. I mean, we’re talking about a unconditionally loving God, that’s His character, it’s quite simple who He is. But Him holding us responsible I believe…

One of the main questions asked concerning predestination is this: Do you or do you not believe in predestination? Well to answer this simply, that is the completely wrong question to ask concerning the subject of predestination. I think to start with you need to be asking this question- Is predestination in the Bible? If the answer is Yes…
