The concept of idolatry is foundational throughout the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, God continually warns His people against the worship of idols. But to understand idolatry rightly, we must define an idol the way the Bible does. This study will walk through...
At the baptism of Jesus, the Holy Spirit descended "like a dove." All four Gospels record this divine moment. It was not poetic embellishment. It was a visible sign from heaven. But what exactly was seen? Was it a literal dove? Was it a metaphor? Or something else...
The dove appears throughout Scripture with rich symbolism, yet its meaning is not derived from poetic tradition or religious imagery, it is rooted in the Word of God. The dove is never randomly mentioned. Its presence marks moments of covenant, purity, sacrifice,...
Few passages in Scripture have been more misunderstood, misapplied, or weaponized than Paul’s words, “Let your women keep silent in the churches.” Taken out of context, it sounds like Paul is silencing half the Church. But rightly divided, with care to the grammar,...

The Word of God, taken literally, establishes a clear prophetic order that renders the post-tribulation rapture untenable. If we rightly divide the Word and do not spiritualize what is plainly stated, the return of Christ for His Church must come before the wrath...
The first direct mention of a Redeemer comes not in the Gospels, but in the very first book of the Bible. After Adam and Eve sinned, God didn't just issue a curse, He issued a promise. Genesis 3:15 says: “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and...
Lets begin reading Matthew 2:1-3: “Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and...
