That’s not reserved for someone on a stage. Jesus gave the church that authority in…

[…] https://onlinebibleinstitute.org/activity/p/87318/ Tue, 15 Sep 2026 05:49:43 -0400 Often times we forget the concept of intercessory prayer. As praying for others is very natural for us.

The Biblical basis for the New Testament believer’s ministry of intercessory prayer is our calling as priests unto God. The Word of God declares that we are…

Often time we have the tendency to talk to God but do not take time to listen. And not all prayers are answered immediately. Some delayed at times, some different from our desires and some beyond our expectations. Hence, at times, we will need to seek…

And the prerequisite is to know God. It is true that without the Holy Spirit, learning the Bible is very difficult, and many times we might have wrong interpretation. Historically, gnosticism is a good example. Bible study process is also not to be rush. A beginner…

I find it easier to understand, especially when Im reading Psalms. Red letter editions is extremely helpful when reading the Gospels. It helps me to focus on the words of Jesus.

This lesson helps me be aware of the structure. It grounds the four main purposes of the Bible which can be easily forgotten. It also reminds me that despite the diversity of the Bible, it is actually united. Because the Author of the Bible is God.
