Verse by Verse Study on 1 Thessalonians 1-3 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
Let's turn to first Thessalonians. Paul, the apostle, on his second missionary journey had taken Silas with him, who was commended by the church in Jerusalem as one of the leaders. When they got to Derbe, Timothy joined their evangelistic team. As they journeyed on, they came to Troas and Paul's desire was to go to Bithynia, but the spirit forbade him.
And there, in Troas, as Paul was sick, he had a vision. And there was a man of Macedonia calling him to come and help. And so Paul immediately got a ship, crossed the Aegean and came to Macedonian, the area of Phi...
Verse by Verse Study on Hebrews 3-4 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
Shall we turn in our Bibles now to Hebrews the third chapter.
Wherefore, holy brethren (Hbr 3:1),
The word wherefore immediately leads us back to that which is immediately preceding, and that is the declaration of the superiority of Jesus over the angels. Because He is superior over the angelic beings being the Son of God.
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ...
Verse by Verse Study on Jude (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
Shall we go to the general epistle of Jude. Jude introduces himself as...
A servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James (Jud 1:1),
The word servant in Greek is doulos, bondslave of Jesus Christ. But also adding this identification as brother of James, which leads to a very interesting speculation, which is in all probability correct. In Matthew's gospel, chapter thirteen, when Jesus was attracting great multitudes, there were those that were offended because of Him. They ...
Verse by Verse Study on Luke 23-24 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
And the whole multitude of them arose, and they led him unto Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ [or the Messiah,] a king (Luk 23:1-2)
Now notice, their accusation against Him was blasphemy, "You're saying You're the Son of God." When they brought Him to Pilate to accuse Him before Pilate, they didn't make that charge at all before Pilate. Why? Because...
Verse by Verse Study on Luke 11 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
Tonight, chapter 11 in the gospel according to Luke.
Again, as Luke is pointing out the human side of Jesus, though He was God, He became man. He is the God-man. He is divine, and yet, He is human. The perfect balance. And whereas
John points out the divinity of Christ in his gospel, which we will be entering into next, Luke points out the humanity of Jesus. And because this is the special emphasis of Luke, he does record more than any of the other gospel writers concerning the prayer life of Jesus Christ. And so Luke mentions many cases where Jesus was praying. And a...
Verse by Verse Study on Mark 14 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
After two days was the feast of the passover (Mar 14:1),
Now, we have followed and traced Jesus in Mark's gospel through Sunday, His triumphant entry. Monday, when He came back to the temple and cleansed it. And Tuesday, when He came back again and fielded these questions, and where the disciples showed Him the building and He said, "Not one stone is going to be left standing up on the other," back to the Mount of Olives Tuesday evening with His disciples, as He sits down there and makes thes...
Verse by Verse Study on Mark 4-5 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
Shall we turn now in our Bibles to the gospel according to Mark, chapter 4.
Beginning in chapter 4, we have the beginning of the ministry of Christ in parables. There is often times a mistaken opinion as to the reason why Jesus went to parables. The purpose of a parable is really not to veil the truth, but to illustrate the truth. And many times when people become dull of hearing, where they will not receive just straight teaching, when you've lost the attention of your students, a method by which attention can be drawn back again to the subject is by illustratio...
Verse by Verse Study on 1 Corinthians 12 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
Now concerning the spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you be ignorant (1Cr 12:1).
An interesting statement of Paul, because I think that in the church one of the areas where the greatest ignorance does exist today is in the area of spiritual gifts, and their operation within the church. And this ignorance is on both sides of the fence.
Within the Pentecostal churches there is a lot of abuse of the gifts of the Spirit, because people are ignorant of their true operation within the c...
Verse by Verse Study on Romans 15-16 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)

Shall we turn to the fifteenth chapter of Paul's epistle to the Romans.
In the fourteenth chapter Paul was dealing with the subject of walking in love within the body of Christ. Recognizing that we have differences of feelings, convictions, or opinions on the different issues involving the Christian walk. Paul said, "Those that are strong in the faith can eat meat, those who are weak in the faith have convictions against eating meat so they eat vegetables." But we need to recognize that people have different convictions, that not everybody is going to see ...

Let's turn to I Corinthians, chapter 1.
Paul introduces himself as the writer with Sosthenes in the first verse.
Paul, called an apostle (1Cr 1:1)
Notice the words to be are in italics. That means that they were added by the translators, and they were not there in the Greek.
Paul, called an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother (1Cr 1:1),

...
Let's open our Bibles to the twenty-sixth chapter of Acts.
Paul was rescued by Lysias, the captain of the Roman guard from the mob that was attempting to beat him to death in Jerusalem on the temple mount. He was taken into protective custody by the Roman government and sent under special guard to Caesarea for his protection, where he appeared before the governor Felix who held Paul a prisoner for two years, more or less, as a political pawn. When Festus became the governor in Felix's place, who had been replaced by the Roman Empire because of his corruption, ...
Verse by Verse Study on Acts 9 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
When Alexander the Great conquered the world, he left pockets of Greek culture throughout the world. So these pockets of Greek culture became very influential. And even though the Roman Empire conquered the Grecian Empire, yet the Grecian culture remained as a dominant characteristic throughout the world. So the world was under the Roman Empire, but it was dominated by Grecian culture.
Now the Grecian culture was more towards the arts, and in contrast, the Hebrew culture was very legalistic. The Pharisees were representatives of the Hebrew culture, very strict, very lega...
Verse by Verse Study on Isaiah 31-35 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)

Shall we turn in our Bibles to Isaiah 31.
Now as a backdrop to these scriptures in Isaiah 31 is the impending invasion of Assyria. Assyria is the world-conquering power at the moment. Assyria has destroyed the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Assyria has destroyed Syria; has conquered over Babylon. And now the Assyrian troops are moving in a massive invasion of the Southern Kingdom of Judah. Having taken some of the cities of Judah already. And there is pressure against Hezekiah...
Verse by Verse Study on Psalm 120-135 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
This time let's turn in our Bibles to Psalm 120 to begin our Bible study this evening. Now you'll notice these psalms have a heading. The psalm, "A song of degrees." The word literally is ascents, A-S-C-E-N-T-S. And these are sort of the marching songs for the people of Israel as they would come thrice annually to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.
There's a lot of things about the nation Israel that excite me. There are a lot of things that I wish that somehow we could incorporate in our worship...
Verse by Verse Study on Psalm 107-115 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
Let's turn now in our Bibles to Psalm 107. The hundred and seventh psalm begins with an exhortation to us to
Give thanks unto the LORD (Psa 107:1),
And the basis for the thanksgiving is His goodness and His mercy. Two things that we really should be thankful for: the goodness of God to us, and then God's mercy unto us. How thankful I am for the mercy of God. Were it not for the mercy of God, where would I be tonight? Surely not here....
Verse by Verse Study on Proverbs 26-31 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
Shall we turn now to Proverbs 26 to begin our study this evening.
The first twelve verses of Proverbs 26 we trust doesn't apply to any of you tonight, because it's sort of addressed towards fools.
As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not seemly for a fool (Pro 26:1).
The thing about snow in summer and rain in harvest is that they are just out of place. So hon...
Verse by Verse Study on Zechariah 11-12 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
Tonight we have a fascinating area of scripture to cover. Pray the Lord will give me the gift of brevity. For we are surely getting into some exciting areas of biblical prophecy, as the Lord begins to speak of the events that will be transpiring in these last days. Some of them we see already in the beginning of their fulfillment. Others that will be fulfilled very shortly.
But before we get into the events of these last days, chapter 11 deals with the first coming of Jesus Christ, and His rejection, and His being sold for thirty pieces of silver. As Jesus said, "I ...
Verse by Verse Study on Matthew 6 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
Tonight let's take a look at Matthew, chapter six. We are in the section of the book of Matthew that is commonly called the Sermon on the Mount because it was delivered to the disciples of Jesus on the mountainside there above the Sea of Galilee. "Seeing the multitudes, he went into a mountain: and he was set, his disciples came unto him: and he opened his mouth and he taught them, saying," (Mat 5:1-2).
So the first thing we note is that this Sermon on the Mount is not for general world consumption. It is not a s...
Verse by Verse Study on Daniel 5-8 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
Shall we turn now in our Bible to Daniel, chapter 5.
Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousands (Dan 5:1).
There are men who call themselves Bible scholars and they belong to a school known as "higher criticism." And for years these men declared that the book of Daniel was not valid. And one of their reasons for this declaration was that in secular history they had not discovered the name Belshazzar. But one of ancient histo...
Verse by Verse Study on Ezekiel 21-25 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Ezekiel 21, the twenty-first chapter of Ezekiel.
Now the prophets of God were often very colorful persons. And because people would not always listen to the Word of God, they would often do things to draw the people's attention to create a question in their mind, curiosity, "What in the world is he doing now?" And when these questions would arise or when they would draw the people's attention, then they would preach the message of God to them. And so, oftentimes their m...
Verse by Verse Study on Genesis 2-3 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made (Gen 2:1-3).
So we find the creation of the earth in chapter one; the placing of man upon the earth, and then the declaration that on the seventh day God rested. Not that He was ...

...
Exodus chapter twenty-one, God said to Moses,
Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them (Exd 21:1).
Now the judgments are really for the judges. You remember they appointed seventy to rule over the lesser, or they appointed "men over the thousands, men over the hundreds, men over the fifties, men over the tens", to judge in the smaller matters. So that they would only bring the major cases to Adam-I mean to Moses, so that Moses wouldn't be bogged down. Jethr...
Verse by Verse Study on Ezra 1-10 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
Let's turn now to the book of Ezra.
The book of Ezra, the first part was probably written by Ezra but written from the records. Actually at the time that Cyrus gave the decree to build the temple, Ezra wasn't even alive. Ezra doesn't come into the story, into a firsthand account until you get to chapter seven. The first six chapters deal with the first of the repatriation of the nation Israel after the Babylonian captivity.
Now in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah mi...
Verse by Verse Study on Deuteronomy 9-16 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
As we have told you the word Deuteronomy means the second law. It is really a rehearsal, sort of a capsulation by Moses of the law that was given. Deuteronomy itself, though it covers the forty years from Egypt to the entering in of the Promised Land, covered only about forty days, as far as the time of it being given to the children of Israel.
Moses was now an aging man, however he was still very spry. He still had excellent eyesight, excellent hearing, none of his forces had abated. Sometimes I have to put on my glasses I say, "God, you did it for Moses, why don...
Verse by Verse Study on Deuteronomy 17-20 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
...
As you've discovered by now the book of Deuteronomy is sort of a review of the law. The word itself indicates the second law. It is a review by Moses for the people. Really a final review because Moses will be dying in just a few days and Joshua will be taking over and leading the children of Israel into the Promised Land. So he is continuing his instructions, his final instructions to them.
And in the 17th chapter, again, at the beginning he lets them know that what they give to God should never be castoffs. Never give a sacrifice that has blemishes. God really isn...
