In our recent Bible study, we opened the Gospel of John. Scripture doesn’t just tell us what Jesus did, it reveals who He is. John doesn’t begin with a manger, a genealogy, or a public ministry. He begins before time itself, pointing us to the eternal nature of Christ and inviting us to see Jesus not only as Savior, but as the very Word of God made flesh. We first paused to compare how each Gospel introduces Jesus. Matthew connects Him to Abraham and David, grounding Jesus in

In our recent Bible study, we spent time in 1 Corinthians 13 and Luke 3 to focus on a simple truth: the Word of God isn’t meant to stay as information—it’s meant to shape our lives. Following Christ isn’t just about what we know; it’s about becoming more like Jesus through what we practice. Before we walked through Paul’s words, we paused to explain why we call it agape love. As the Bible has been translated over time, the wording in this passage has been rendered differently

In our recent Bible study, we looked at what it really means to live out  the fruit of the Spirit by walking through Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness in Luke 4. Instead of treating the fruit of the Spirit as theory, we asked: How do we actually put this into practice when life is hard and temptation is real?

These aren’t signs of weakness, they’re signs of spiritual maturity. We looked at meekness as having no resistance to God’s Word —a heart that receives His instruction without walls or excuses. Moses is a powerful example of this. Even when God sent him back to Pharaoh again and again, he obeyed. Meekness doesn’t mean be

Last night in our online Bible study, we spent time walking through the Fruit of the Spirit — looking closely at longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, and faith. These don't automatically appear when we’re filled with the Holy Ghost; they’re spiritual traits we have to intentionally put on as we continue to grow in Christ. Paul reminds us in Galatians 5 that these qualities are the evidence of a life walking according to the standard of Christ. But walking in the Spirit requi
