A Complete Bible Study on the Tree of Life

The Tree of Life runs like a thread from the first pages of the Bible to the last. It shows what God meant for people in the beginning, what sin damaged, and what God will restore in the end. The first time we meet it is in Eden, described in Genesis 2:9, and the...

A Complete Bible Study on the Law

The Bible uses the word law in a few different ways. If we do not sort that out, we will slide into one of two ditches: either we try to earn salvation, or we shrug off God’s commands like they do not matter. Psalm 19:7 is a good doorway into the subject because it...

A Complete Bible Study on Being a Slave to Christ

Paul does not let us imagine a life with no real master. As we open Romans 6:16-23, he puts two masters side by side, shows what each one produces, and then presses us to live like people who have truly been transferred from one to the other. Everyone serves...

A Bible Study on Making a Covenant with My Eyes

Job puts a plain line in the sand about purity, and he puts it where most of us would rather keep things fuzzy. In Job 31:1 he says he made a covenant with his eyes, because he understood how fast a look can turn into desire and then into choices. He is not...

A Complete Bible Study on The Names of Jehovah

God does not call His people to follow a vague, unknown deity. He speaks, He acts in real history, and He tells us who He is. In Exodus 3:13-15, Moses asks what he should say when Israel wants to know the name of the God who sent him. The Lord answers by giving His...
