The book of Judges is a historical account which investigates the lives of people who lived long ago. Some of those lives are going to be tales of caution, while others will be inspiring. Most are people who would not warrant a second look today and would be dismissed as valueless by most, but when viewed through the lens of God’s purpose, we will see that they became much more than they could have dreamed. They become exceptional stories in the greatest story ever told, that is still shaping lives today. Wouldn’t you like your own story to matter like that? Then maybe this study is for...

So why “bible study for the rest of us?” I am not like most church leaders, I lack a degree, I am not from a Christian family and I’m not that much of a reader. But I do love the Lord and I love His word. I get a great deal of joy when I can explain something to someone in a way ...

There seems to be a large majority of Christians who mix their faith with Judaism and have taken on board a combination of end-time doctrine, coupled with the law and a strange obsession with natural Israel. The idea that the nation of Israel will be restored back to God during the millennial reign of Christ, indicates two different and distinct covenants which is a concerning imposition on scripture. For there has only been one covenant and one people that are inextricably linked to the cross and the symbol of the olive tree. For once Abraham cried to the Lord and said Oh that Ishmael (...

Many of us spend our lives chasing happy through relationships, success, and the next adventure. Yet, we only discover a dryness in our souls. Why? Because we’re chasing the wrong kind of happy. We chase temporary happiness instead of the eternal happiness found in Jesus. Sometimes, we wonder if God wants us to be happy. Someone said that God cares more about our holiness than our happiness like the two are disconnected. But what if the pursuit of happiness was adjacent to the pursuit of holiness?

In this six-session audio Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Kyle Idleman reveals that John didn’t write his Gospel just to tell us about a profound teacher or a powerful miracle worker. Rather, his purpose was to tell us about the very Son of God who came to this earth so that we “may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). John challenges us to trust in Christ—and to demonstrate our faith in him through the way we live and love others.

Solomon lost it as he had 1,000 wives and concubines to fulfill his lust. If we are going to win this battle, we must be strategic and disciplined. Winning is important to protect our lives, our families, our churches, and most importantly to honor our God. How can we win the battle for purity? In 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, Paul commands believers to avoid sexual immorality and to learn to control their bodies in a way that is holy ...
